Hearing this, the Emperor looked at Ruyang King and said, "Alas~ what a pity, what a sigh, if the Commandery Princess is truly rescued, don't blame her, I won't blame her!"
Hearing this, Ruyang King was taken aback and looked at the Emperor in surprise.
The Emperor said, "I am not the type to force things. If you see that rebel, tell him I don't blame him either. Not only do I not blame him, but I also want to reward him. If he and the Commandery Princess are truly in love, I am willing to grant them marriage. If he can perform feats beneficial to the nation, like restoring several state mansions of mine in Hubei, I will even ennoble him."
"Brother Wang, do you think my ideas can move that rebel?"
Ruyang King looked into the Emperor's seemingly intoxicated eyes and felt an inexplicable sensation. It was as though the Emperor wasn't drunk at all, and his words were a veiled warning to himself, implying that he might already be aware of Chen Jiusi's existence.
