The Imperial chambers were silent.
Zhao Wang Lei's face didn't have any emotion but inside his heart, he was thinking about what should he say to Xi Ying. He couldn't let Zhao Zhuang Chen's reputation go lower than it already was.
After all, after him, he wanted him to ascend the throne.
Only then he would still be able to have some power over Xin and achieve what he always wanted to have.
To have Yi Jie by his side, he would need power even after he would leave the throne, and that power…he would only be able to get if Zhao Zhuang Chen, who didn't have any mind, would ascend the throne.
The throne would belong to him but it would be his mind that would be working behind him because, by that time, he would have killed Xi Ying…the only person who could see behind these schemes of his.
