"At first, you said I could be an emperor. Why do you now say I am not fit to be one? Are you toying with me?"
The Emperor Zhao's eyes turned blood-red, clearly indicating his extreme agitation, harboring resentment towards Ji Ruyan.
Yet, seeing him in such a frenzy, Ji Ruyan merely let out a cold laugh. "If you were fit to be an emperor, you wouldn't have fragmented Siyou Country as it is now. You are the ruler of a country, you need to understand the principle of 'don't use those you distrust, don't distrust those you use.' Yes, the Marquis Zhenbei's lady, Princess Pei Yue, was the Eldest Princess of the Yi Country before. He once had ambitions to proclaim himself king. However, later on, he had no intention whatsoever of establishing himself as king. Given that, why did you strip him of his military power?"
