Ren Zhong didn't deny it, "Of course. My loyalty to His Majesty is as vast as the universe."
"Then I come bearing heavy gifts, only to resolve misunderstandings with you. I've shown such sincerity, but you still behave this way, humiliating me. Isn't this detrimental to the harmony and unity among the Empire's nobles? Personal grievances must never override the interests of the Empire."
Hearing this, Ren Zhong almost wanted to laugh.
Now you come to me with these grand principles. Back when you wanted to kill me, when you shamelessly suppressed the Red Blade Clan, why didn't you think about the Empire's interests?
But Ren Zhong only thought this to himself; on the surface, he remained calm, pretending to be in deep thought, as if truly feeling ashamed by Liu An's short speech.
