章 1700: All This Planning…

After a pause, he continued, "One month is more than enough for things to settle. Xia Houzheng is more or less patient, but my uncle has no patience at all. He has a fiery temper. The two of them will fight. Therefore, I plan to pretend that you found me on the day the deadline is up. Then, I will tell Dongxiao that it has nothing to do with you. With that, Da Ling will not be convicted or blamed for my missing appearance."

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again.

Just by looking at his temper, he knew that Qu Chuo wouldn't be able to defeat Xia Houzheng, not to mention that Xia Houzheng had much more power than Qu Chuo… Therefore, Xia Houzheng will be the one who beats Qu Chuo in the end.

Xia Houzheng was more or less patient. He could indeed explain why Xia Houzheng had waited two years to kill the Dongxiao Emperor and usurp the throne in his previous life.
