Ji Lin's voice was weak, yet still carried its usual authority, "The greatest threat to the Royal Family today is not only the Regent King. The five Nine-tailed Fox families are also on the move, posing a bigger hidden danger."
"Yuan Ke wants to control the young Emperor through regency; we can use him to maintain the balance."
Qiu Yang seemed to understand partly, uncertainly, "Your Majesty's meaning is..."
Ji Lin explained, "Currently, in the Inner Court, Prime Minister Yuan Ke has many followers and a strong influence, but unfortunately, he has a fatal flaw—he is not from the Nine-tailed Fox Clan."
"The Yiyuan Empire was founded by the Ji family and the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, with a heritage spanning thousands of years. The entire Empire adheres to ancient laws. If Yuan Ke wants to ascend to the throne, he certainly won't win the people's heart and cannot defy the ancient system; the safest way is regency."
