บท 811: The Woman Who Came with the Spring Rain

Mistress Jian said, "I'm giving the Empress face."

Ning Que replied, "The Academy is involved in this matter. The Queen has to call me Youngest Uncle, so I do not need to give her face."

Mistress Jian looked at him silently and asked, "Do you really intend to kill Li Yu?"

Ning Que replied without even thinking, "Her death is the best choice."

"Why?" Mistress Jian asked.

Ning Que explained, "Who can the ministers in court be loyal to if both Li Huiyuan and Li Yu are dead? No matter how in pain or unwilling they are, they still have to follow Her Majesty's orders. To many, this war has made it inconvenient for the imperial court and the Academy to kill these people. But if you think about it from another perspective, the pressure of the war and their honor would exert pressure on the ministers."
