Chapter 842: Dealing With Rumors (6)
Old fox, everyone cursed in their hearts.
Situ Gong smiled faintly, following up with, "Prince, where do you intend to arrange them? After all, their statuses are different, and the current situation in the Northern Land isn’t suitable for war."
This comment was just shy of openly stating that the Prince intended to rebel.
The expressions of those present varied, some were overjoyed, some showed worry, and fear flickered in the eyes of others.
Among those who had come, there were also those who went with the flow, and who weren’t truly loyal to Chu Suifeng.
Imperial authority reigned supreme, loyalty to the emperor. This was their deep-rooted belief, and Situ Gong’s words just now were virtually a direct accusation of rebellion. How could they not be afraid?
Chu Suifeng and Situ Gong observed everyone’s expressions carefully, assessing their thoughts.
"Prince, how can I justify dismissing them due to my situation? The ones who harmed me were Lady Qin and Miss Ming, but you’ve already dealt with them. How can the women in the rear courtyard be blamed unjustly?" Lin Ziyin certainly wouldn’t hold Chu Suifeng back since he had already made a decision, seemingly persuading Chu Suifeng, but actually offering him a ladder to step down.
"It is precisely because their statuses are different that I take this matter seriously. Rather than wasting their youth in the rear courtyard, it would be better to let them choose their own lives. After leaving the Wang Residence, I will issue a notice explaining everything. They can choose to stay in the Northern Land and marry or follow their families back to Capital City. I will provide them with some silver for their departure," Chu Suifeng explained with a light smile.
So there had been a plan all along, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
