At that, Linghe cleared his throat and patted Meng Fusheng on the shoulder. With a been-there-done-that attitude, he said, "Just listen to her."
"…" Meng Fusheng was confounded.
Are you still the close comrade of our queen!
She's going deep into the lion's den, why are you still letting her have her way!!
If something goes wrong, you must compensate us a queen!
Linghe felt rather helpless in the face of Meng Fusheng's distress. At the beginning, he had also experienced Meng Fusheng's present struggle, but… after being with Ji Fengyan for some time, Linghe realized that she was always well-prepared for everything she planned to do. If they went along, not only would they be of no help, they might end up a burden.
Meng Fusheng couldn't get anyone "on his side" and failed to persuade Ji Fengyan. He could only slump down his shoulders dejectedly.
