"Your Majesty," Nan Feng bowed to the Emperor, "My husband has suffered too much today. I'm afraid he can't give a real answer at the moment. Please give him some time to think it over properly. I am confident that he will come to a definitive decision."
The Emperor looked at Nan Feng. Most women either stammered or avoided his gaze when talking to him, but Nan Feng looked straight at him. Clearly, she was very dissatisfied with him and felt that he was being petty.
She didn't realize that the court was desperate for talent, and to obtain someone who could contribute, he was willing to do whatever it took.
Nangong Nini was his only trump card. Without taking such actions, Nangong Ye would not lead the battle again.
