"Your Highness..."
Song Xingfeng stepped forward, his brow furrowed. "How could King Qing have been poisoned? The timing is so strange!" He couldn't help but worry. "What should we do now?"
'When we first arrived at the border of Yu State, Zhou Cangyan advocated for a preemptive strike, but I was the one who repeatedly found excuses to delay and procrastinate.'
'Now, this is just great. Zhou Cangyan was suddenly, inexplicably poisoned, and has been for several days! It's still unknown who would dare poison a Prince, but regardless of whether the culprit is found, as the Vice Marshal, I'll inevitably be held responsible!'
'If my sworn enemies, those Officials at Court, find out, there's no telling what kind of stories they'll fabricate about me. That Old Duke Xuan Chang will surely be the first one to come after me.'
'Damn it!'
