Jiang Chengyi froze. He frowned at the man before him for a long while before finally asking in disbelief, "Jiuqing, can it be... that you want this empire?"
True, he had often thought it was unfair. For years, he believed that his friend, despite having done so much for Da Qi, had never been treated with fairness or decency.
He had even imagined that if Jiuqing ever decided he was done being so wretchedly wronged and moved to replace the Sima Family on the throne, he would offer his unconditional support.
But the moment he had envisioned Yu Jiuqing making that decision was not now, and certainly not in such an unstable state of mind!
Yu Jiuqing's eyes were cold and still, yet the corners of his mouth lifted into a slight smile.
His disposition was cold, and he rarely showed any emotion, let alone a smile.
