The Prime Minister quickly stood up, "Your Majesty, perhaps Minister Chen did not mean this, but Nan Feng's attitude is truly inscrutable. If she were just an ordinary woman with no significant entanglement with Tuoba Lie, why would he sacrifice so many lives just for one woman? Please reconsider."
No sooner had the Prime Minister spoken than many others immediately echoed his sentiments:
"I think the Prime Minister is right. If Nan Feng were only a common hostage in Dashun, and Dashun has reconciled with Dajin, why would Dashun insist on having Nan Feng returned?"
"Unless I am mistaken, the two must have shared an extremely intimate relationship."
"Perhaps there were promises made, and Tuoba Lie's love turned to hatred when they were broken."
"It's also possible that Nan Feng is indeed beautiful, but beauty can be a disaster, Your Majesty."
