Chapter 240: Rules of the Year-end Tail Sacrifice (Third Update)

Lin Bai spent the afternoon talking with Bai Xiaoxiao, who mainly shared with Lin Bai the predicaments facing the royal family.

Perhaps it was because Bai Xiaoxiao truly didn't know to whom she could pour out the bitterness in her heart. Once she met Lin Bai, she told him everything all at once.

It was not until late into the night that Bai Xiaoxiao stood up and left Qianlong Villa.

As he watched Bai Xiaoxiao leave, Lin Bai sighed softly, "I never imagined that the current situation of the royal family would be so difficult. The military is dominated by one family, the Qi Wangfu, while the imperial court is entirely controlled by the Xu family."

"The only support for the royal family is the still-living old Prime Minister, Bai Xiaoxiao's imperial grandfather," Lin Bai continued.

"The Qi Wangfu and the Xu Family, they are probably all waiting for the old Prime Minister to die," he speculated.
