Bab 367: Happenings in Shangjing (XXIV)

Xu Ke said axniously, "If they make things difficult for you when you go to the palace this time…"

Jiang Pengji was not worried or anxious about it. She replied indifferently, "Don't worry. It's not that serious. We'll just exchange a few commonplaces at most."

In a sense, holding Jiang Pengji as a "hostage" had more influence than holding others as "hostages." As Liu She's only "son," as long as Jiang Pengji was still in Shangjing City and under the Emperor's control, the magistrate of Chongzhou, Liu She, could not go against the Emperor.

Understanding that, Jiang Pengji was not worried about her trip to Shangyang Palace.

Xu Ke understood, and his face looked as grave as ink.

Be it as a citizen of Dongqing or Jiang Pengji's right-hand man, he was very disdainful of the actions of the Dongqing Emperor.
