Defeating Qian Jiyun was unrealistic. They would be doomed if Qian Jiyun targeted them instead.
"Your Majesty, didn't you send Prince De to the southern border previously? Was there any update from Prince De?" a minister asked.
The old Emperor was speechless.
Could he not bring this up? His head hurt even more at the mention of Prince De.
Did he send his son to reclaim the army at the southern border? Sending his son was obviously a form of compensation!
Once Prince De entered the southern border, he was like a clay ox entering the sea. There were no updates from him at all. The old Emperor might as well have sent his loyal general back then.
"I'm afraid there won't be any news from the southern border so soon. Qian Jiyun has been deployed there for many years. It won't be easy to take him down in a short time."
Before the old Emperor could say anything, someone found an excuse for him.
