Xie Jianshen shook his head. There was a slight furrow on his forehead when he spoke, "Imperial Father, you know that I like to eliminate adversaries as soon as possible, but maybe Zhang Fengxi can be an ally instead."
"Hmph. All of them covet the Dragon Throne. He is going to backstab you as soon as the opportunity presents itself."
Xie Jianshen smiled.
"Longjing Palace is different. Since time immemorial, the tiger clan sticks to its righteous path. Our ancestors went as far as commemorating their loyalty in the Odes Of Power."
"Their loyalty persists because they do not know that the current Crown Prince is not an alpha," the Emperor said in a low voice. "Jianshen, you married Jiang Rufeng. Do you think that he will not stage a riot when he knows that Jianyu is not fit to rule?"
Xie Jianshen lowered his gaze.
