Chương 175: Lin Mengyao's Plan

"Your Majesty, I believe Prince Qing makes a valid point. This matter is grave, and we should deliberate thoroughly."

Lin Ruhai quickly interjected, noting Xiao Nanye's aggressive posture.

Before he could complete his thought, Xiao Nanye scoffed, "General Lin, despite inheriting your title from your elder brother and hailing from a military lineage, where is your warrior's spirit?"

Unease clouded Lin Ruhai's eyes at the taunt.

Emperor Qi Ming, who was sitting on the dragon throne, tired of the argument, glanced outside and declared, "Enough. It's getting late. We'll continue tomorrow. Everyone, go home."

Then, everyone left the palace.

Outside the palace gates, Lin Ruhai approached Xiao Junhao. After offering a respectful bow, he said softly, "Your Highness, how is Yao Er?"

"Lord Lin, don't worry. The poison in Yao Er's body has been cured," Xiao Junhao reassured.

"That's good."
