Chapter 316: A Man with Poor Control

"If Wang Er falls into their hands, then, regardless of whether there's someone behind him, the banknotes in his possession must be returned to the palace!"

"I never expected the Emperor to backtrack on his promise."

"The Emperor has reclaimed the banknotes from Wang Er. I'm afraid he's going to use them to reward some concubine."

"That's almost certain. Our Emperor is quite lecherous, isn't he?"

When these sentiments reached the palace, the Empress Dowager scolded those responsible for trailing Wang Er once more.

"You're all a bunch of inept fools. You can't even handle such a simple task!"

"Not only did you lose him, but you've also revealed your identities!"

"You've trained for years and can't even outsmart a country bumpkin!"

The chastised individuals could only hang their heads in silence, avoiding any rebuttals.
