"But if this matter involves both Lady Qi and Elder Qi San, he won't be able to protect both of them." Ye Muyu squinted, already having a plan in mind, even if ultimately he couldn't move against Elder Qi San, Emperor Xuanming's dislike for Minister Qi would only grow.
Sometimes, seemingly insignificant matters can pile up, making it difficult for Emperor Xuanming to trust Minister Qi, especially since Minister Qi isn't a confidant of the Emperor. He uses him but doesn't trust him, and his apprehension means even if Emperor Xuanming ultimately chooses King Qi, Minister Qi won't remain.
This is the cruelty of the Royal Family.
The overreach of maternal relatives is the reverse scale of all emperors.
Especially, considering the past incident with the Lin family of the Previous Empress.
Even if the facts prove the Lin family was wronged, Emperor Xuanming will not admit it, showing his attitude of rather killing wrongly than missing an opportunity.
