King Huai nodded, "I had anticipated such a day would come, and I did warn him back then. Young people need to learn restraint; too rigid and they're prone to break. They must understand the virtue of flexibility in firmness, but evidently, he did not take it to heart."
When Mr. Gongsun saw King Huai's composed expression, he couldn't help but hesitate as he said, "The death of Marquis Wu'an will have a significant impact on Da Xia, Your Highness…"
With a calm demeanor, King Huai said, "Are you asking me why I am not the slightest bit worried?"
Mr. Gongsun, upon hearing this, nodded in response.
King Huai spoke indifferently, "Actually, Gu Chen's death is a blessing in disguise. Had he lived, he could have jeopardized my grand scheme. Although I appreciate talent, what use is a genius that I cannot control?"
Listening to King Huai's undisguised remarks, a chill ran through Mr. Gongsun's heart.
