Ji Ruyan continued to pursue, "Do you understand military deployment?"
The room was silent, the Empress beside him lowered her eyes, showing no intention of helping Emperor Zhao out.
Emperor Zhao clenched his fist, his face embarrassed, and said nothing.
"Answer my question! Do you understand?"
Seeing his unwillingness to answer, Ji Ruyan pressed him further.
"I do not understand!"
Emperor Zhao took several deep breaths and gritted his teeth to say these three words.
"Since you do not understand, why not let the famous Marquis Zhenbei defend these vast lands for you? But what did you do, risking everything for a mere Commander's Seal? To this day, the throne you tightly hold with that seal can no longer be defended."
