The people of Great Qi would have even more cause to scorn us” With that, she turned to address Wanyan Xu specifically: “It is also a good thing for you to let hih the Eovern the lands of Great Qi well My son, you ive this rebellious villain the opportunity to look down upon you” Wanyan Xu held his hands in a gesture of respect and said: “Your son will take to heart the Mother Eer rise froht, with the unexpected trouble keeping you up all night, you must be tired I shall return to , she left and her retinue of palace maids and eunuchs followed in her wake
