"Now this is just great. The moment someone dies, Your Majesty is moved to kill."
As he spoke, he mused, "This Emperor is truly hard to deal with. Whether it's the Mystical Sect or the aristocratic families, everyone treads on thin ice. His strategy of checks and balances has stirred up no end of turmoil. But I've heard His Majesty's health is poor, he's fainted several times, and the Crown Prince is on exceedingly good terms with the Sea Opening Sect…"
"Absolutely not!"
Before he could finish, Zhang Jingxuan's gaze sharpened slightly as he said solemnly, "Since ancient times they've said: serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; a tiger in its twilight years is all the more suspicious. The Crown Prince is now heading to Min State to reorganize the Royal Fleet and salvage lost treasures—this might well be another test."
"If the Jiangmen Mysterious Sect and the aristocratic families go all out to assist, there will definitely be new ripples."
