Before Zhao Bairen could speak, the beautiful concubine beside him snickered, “Perhaps the princess just had a bad dream? There's no need to be this tense, Your Majesty Those traitorous immortals had already been killed that very year, no?”

And it was because of the e behavior towards her that awould dare speak to the ehter in such a way
“Surely soht have slipped away” Zhao Yuefei replied, her tone unfazed
Concubine Ming giggled, “Daqi had murdered five thousand one hundred and thirty-three households that day, how could any of them possibly have slipped away?”
“Does Concubine Ming not trust me?” Zhao Yuefei questioned
“I wouldn't dare question you,” Concubine Ming responded as she sat upright “But, if ere to dispatch our armies to raid our subjects based on only the princess's assumption, and the people were to show their disdain, wouldn't His Majesty take all the blame?”
Zhao Bairen chuckled softly “My dear, those are soently patted the back of her hand
“But Your Majesty! Have I said anything wrong? 19 years ago, those ie and tens of thousands of people lost their lives as a result of that! And who did the people blame? Whose reputation was tarnished because of the incident? Was it not yours, Your Majesty? Was it not Your Majesty who had to bear it all unjustly?”Concubine Ming responded angrily

Zhao Bairen nodded in agreehter “The Major Star Officer is a fair and honest being As his role is detached from any form of politics, whatever he says must be true! Servants! Notify the Star Major Officer to see me at once!”
Concubine Ming pouted her lips disapprovingly But since His Majesty had already notified the servants, there was nothing she could do She proceeded to lean on His Majesty's shoulder, looking at hi eyes and quietly et some sleep”
Having heard this, Zhao Bairen immediately called out for his servants “Servants! Escort Concubine Ming back to her quarters to rest!”
