Emperor Chu Gujian was utterly ruthless.
The black-robed man said, "Then you should use a spy."
"That's a chess piece that has been nurtured for many years," Chu Gujian said, "Are you going to move now?"
The emperor did not want to make a move on the spy and expose him because he could hide in the dark and relay information about the mansion back to him.
Chu Gujian had placed the spy deep within the mansion, and no one knew about the spy, not even Lan Xiyao or his wife. After all, Chu Gujian wanted to keep the spy hidden and use him at a critical moment.
However, he could not use the spy now as he could not allow Lan Ruozhu to grow into a powerful force like Lan Xiyao.
'That kid will be a formidable threat. Also, I noticed the prince is more intelligent than his father, but the princess is none the wiser.'
The black-robed man said coldly, "If you don't use your spies, do you still want to eliminate the threat that is the mansion?"
