"Then, why does your father want to attack the Bai Kingdom?" Avina asked. It didn't make sense to her.
If Minister Ji wanted his daughter to be Empress and in turn, give him power, why would he collude with the enemy? If his plans were found out, then he would be called a traitor and there would be no chance in him gaining power. At the same time, if he wanted power in the Bai Kingdom, why attack it?
Ji Fanyin thought for a moment. Her lips curved into a mocking smile and she replied, "Because desperate people turn stupid."
Avina blinked. She didn't think Ji Fanyin would directly insult her father. "What do you mean?"
"I mean exactly what I said," Ji Fanyin said. "Father got a little too desperate for power and decided to join the enemy. He wanted power no matter who gave it to him, even the devil."
