"Imperial Father, I implore you to act in accordance with the laws of the state. Otherwise, Beili will become the laughingstock of the other three kingdoms, and you will lose the hearts of the people." Sang Yan pressed, striking while the iron was hot.
This time, the Beili Emperor did not object. He lowered his gaze, lost in thought.
If word of this truly spread to the four kingdoms... even if he could keep Beili in check, what about the other three?
The rumors would grow more and more vicious. In their mouths, Beili's name would be dragged through the mud.
With Princess East Shu running so rampant in Beili, and with his blatant protection of her, it was highly likely East Shu would think Beili feared them and wouldn't dare to cause trouble.
"Imperial Father, I urge you to reconsider."
"You are dismissed. I will consider it."
"Imperial Father..."
"You are dismissed."
"Yes."
Sang Yan kowtowed, then rose and exited. A hint of anger flickered in the depths of his eyes.
