"Pssh, your brain is the one with the problem!" Zhao Yuqing rolled her eyes and snapped a retort.
Wang Hao just pursed his lips without responding.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Yuqing spoke up, "Wang Hao, you might not know this, but the Dongying royal family is in decline. The Shogunate has become overwhelmingly powerful, and it is Princess Qian Ziying's lifelong wish to restore the royal family's former authority."
"I think the reason she offered to help us is largely because she hopes we'll clash with the Gongmen family, giving the royal family a chance to reap the benefits of the fishermen."
After hearing Zhao Yuqing's analysis, Wang Hao felt that this was the only explanation that made sense.
"Heh, have us fight each other so she can take advantage of the situation? She's quite the schemer, isn't she?"
Zhao Yuqing glanced at the azure sky outside the window, as if speaking to Wang Hao, and yet as though she was talking to herself.
