The Empress Dowager was well aware of her son's personality and ideas. What she had just said was to convince the King, and the reason why she asked him this question was because she had noticed the King's changing expression. She believed that he was almost convinced.
The King was not young any more. He was no longer as resolute as before and he started to care about love and relationships, but he was still ambitious. And deep in his heart, ambition was still the most important thing for him.
Therefore, The Empress Dowager believed that as long as she mentioned the Saint Divine Land, the King would definitely be moved.
