"Your Highness, you are unfair with this accusation. We mean no harm or ill intention, just that, ever since the establishment of Tai Lin Manor, it has been under the jurisdiction of the two grand elders; it has nothing to do with the court. We merely follow the instructions of the two grand elders. In our hearts, we remain loyal to Dawu."
Zhou Xian's intentions were clear; even if you are the emperor, you have no control over the powerful members of the Tai Lin Manor.
He silently sneered. Despite being under siege, the emperor was still flaunting his superiority here.
If he had simply tried to curry favor with the two grand elders, perhaps they might have taken him with them in case of a national calamity, sparing his life.
"Enough idle talk!"
Chu Yuan seemed to be no longer interested in arguing. Stepping forward abruptly, he aimed a palm at Zhou Xian, as grand as the sun and the moon, covering everything.
