Mm.
There's nothing wrong with what was said.
But if these words come from Marquis Dongxiang's mouth, then it's a big problem.
Does he even know how to win people over with virtue?
Has he ever done anything virtuous?!
The Prince stood up to speak on behalf of Marquis Dongxiang, saying, "I am aware of this matter."
"When Marquis Dongxiang discussed it with me, I thought it was quite risky."
"If King Beimo couldn't return to Beimo alive, Marquis Dongxiang would face a capital crime."
"But I was moved by his righteousness, and fortunately, King Beimo returned safely, resolving the border crisis."
Duke Chong looked at the Prince and said, "What if he couldn't return?!"
"Did Prince Zhenbei ever consider the consequences?"
The Prince glanced at Duke Chong, "It seems Duke Chong had a better solution for this matter, so why did you decline when the Emperor entrusted this task to you?"
Duke Chong was at a loss for words.
