Chapter 164: This Palace is Quite Interested in the North Prince_1

Upon hearing Wu Junwan's words, Chai Jiliang said, "Since Princess Junwan has spoken thus, your servant feels at ease."

At this moment, Wu Junwan gave Chai Jiliang a glance and then continued, "This palace is curious, Mr. Chai, why do you wish to have my imperial father end the war? Could it be that Mr. Chai has accepted silver from Great Sum?"

Chai Jiliang immediately replied, "Princess, the reason why your servant has advised His Majesty to end the war is purely because Great Wu can no longer bear the dire consequences of the conflict."

"The people of Great Wu are now struggling to survive. With an army maintained at over a million men year-round, the number of peasants available for farming is ever decreasing. If the war drags on, it may not only incite a rebellion among the people, but Great Wu may also soon face a widespread famine."
