Chapter 633: Let Him Have It Easy
The dog emperor’s appeal to Lord State Duke was his purported illness, expressing a desire for Qin Zhenzhen to enter the palace to treat him. The ulterior motive behind this request was apparent even to the most naive observer.
Lord State Duke, however, rejected him outright, stating, "As long as the Emperor knows his place, he won’t meet a violent death." Their intention was to let him pass away without suffering, provided he ceased causing trouble.
Nevertheless, the emperor resorted to threatening Lord State Duke, "This is my last request. If you don’t fulfill it, don’t blame me for revealing the unsavory deeds you’ve committed!"
Lord State Duke found this amusing and questioned the emperor’s intentions, to which the dog emperor explained, "I have documented your crimes in a small booklet and hidden it away. If I die, this booklet will be disseminated outside the palace."
He believed he had an ultimate move, but Lord State Duke, unimpressed, regarded him as foolish. Writing a pamphlet held little significance in a place where not even a mosquito could escape. Moreover, even if the contents were revealed, it wouldn’t affect their Public House.
In response, Lord State Duke stated coldly, "The Emperor is indeed sick, and seriously sick!"
"Starting now, the Emperor will rest during his illness!"
The most effective way to handle a deranged puppet was to confine him.
