Chapter 279

Yuan Yunzhong was speaking with Shao Qing when he saw Song Jiyun come in. He did not evade her but nodded toward her and continued to say to Shao Qing, "It's decided then. The emperor will not handle Prince Ning casually, especially since Prince Ning's ancestors had 'Dividing the River to Rule' agreements with Emperor Yongle. The emperor could dispose of anyone casually but never him."

Shao Qing did not see any harm in letting Song Jiyun hear this.

In his heart, Song Jiyun was a very reliable person. Even if she knew, she wouldn't gossip like ordinary women. Thus, he simply smiled at her, his eyes sparkling as he picked up where Yuan Yunzhong left off, "But his left and right hand men can be dealt with entirely by law."

Yuan Yunzhong nodded, his neatly contoured face as sharp as a knife, "Those who need to be killed, kill them; those who need to be plucked, pluck them. Don't make loud thunder and little rain, making others think we are just playing around."
