While the group whispered amongst themselves, Wertie, of course, had no idea what was happening.

"Do you all have a better solution, perhaps?" Wertie's smile was gentle, but the burly men around him looked ready to spring into action.

"We know the whereabouts of a Princess. Perhaps she's a more suitable successor than a male." Liansisi blurted it out, not caring whether Shi Zhiyan agreed or not. She was putting him on the spot!
In any case, she didn't believe Shi Zhiyan could keep Shi Li locked up forever.
