His Majesty chuckled. "Therefore, I don’t, for the slightest bit, doubt the truth of this matter. There’s simply no room for such lack of faith!"
Qiu Jianhan sighed but could not help feeling the surge of warmth in his heart.
It was the paramount achievement to have this sort of trust exist between an emperor and his official; it was the epitome of a gentleman dying for his confidant!
"About this child who has suddenly made his appearance…"
The question had been swirling in Old Marshal Qiu’s heart and he finally found the courage to ask, "Your Majesty, what is your plan? You should know what you both will face once this child is shown to the public… what the Yutang dynasty is bound to experience!"
His Majesty’s expression slowly turned somber. He took another two steps to slowly sit down on his chair, tapping on the table with a finger and a deep frown.
Old Marshal Qiu’s heart lurched in his chest.
