After Wenxian issued the decree to seal Zangfeng State and besiege the rebel army led by Wen Chi, he dismissed the other officials.
Only the corpse controlled by Huangfu Yan and Wenxian were left staring at each other.
Wenxian sat on his throne, leaning back, and his furrowed, angry face relaxed, suddenly appearing somewhat weary.
His sharp eyes pierced through the study window, looking towards the distant, invisible Grand Ancestral Temple.
Wenxian suddenly spoke in a tired, hoarse, and old voice:
"Uncle, tell me, why would the Saint help Wen Chi? Clearly, I am the rightful ruler, I am the royal power. The Yang Kingdom has worshipped her for so many years; the Saint should be preserving my reign."
Huangfu Yan's own sister, the Chief of the Divine Farmer Bureau, is the mother of both Wenxian and Wen Chi, which is one of the ties that keeps the Divine Farmer Bureau loyal to the Yang Royal Family.
