'I can't figure it out.'
Xiao Mo simply could not figure out what the Sovereign of Qin was thinking.
'Could it be that the Sovereign of Qin is so confident in his son that he believes he would never rebel? Or that even if he did, he has the power to suppress him?'
But His Majesty was no fool. Xiao Mo was sure he knew about this and must have his own plans.
Not long after, in the Imperial Court, many ministers also tried to advise the Sovereign of Qin against it.
But the Sovereign of Qin wouldn't listen at all.
The Jin Kingdom, however, did make a gesture of its own.
The land bordering the Qin Kingdom had originally been the homeland of the Yue Kingdom.
But the Jin Kingdom had moved first, annexing Yue.
Now, it seemed as if the Qin and Jin Kingdoms had struck a deal. The Sovereign of Qin granted the prefectures of Luzhou and Jinzhou to Qin Jingyuan, while the Jin Kingdom gave half of the former Yue Kingdom's territory to their new son-in-law as a dowry.
