Chapter 540 Retribution for Evil(3)_1
The Prince frowned thoughtfully for a moment and said, "Father, in your servant’s opinion, to calm Saknu, it’s not necessary to wake An Le. Has Father forgotten the purpose of Saknu’s visit to our Great Jin?"
"You mean... Zhao Yang?"
Emperor Jin was slightly taken aback; although he didn’t value Zhao Yang highly, she was still his legitimate daughter after all. He fully understood Saknu’s nature; how could he bear to let his daughter jump into the fire pit?
"I understand Father doesn’t want anything to happen to Little Sister Zhao Yang, but when comparing familial affections to the state of the country, Father naturally knows which weighs more. Besides, Zhao Yang is the legitimate princess of the Great Jin Nation, that Saknu wouldn’t dare to bully her. Maybe if Zhao Yang marries into Liaodan, the there’ll be an everlasting peace between Great Jin and Liaodan."
With persuasive eloquence, Nangong Shi told some unbelievable lies.
If Saknu dared to threaten them within the territory of Great Jin, how could he possibly treat Zhao Yang nicely for the sake of their face? Not to mention the matter of An Le’s poisoning could be connected to Zhao Yang, even if it wasn’t, with Saknu so smitten with An Le, how could Zhao Yang possibly replace her?
Emperor Jin understood all this, but he chose to deceive himself and believe. When comparing an unloved daughter to the state of his country, the choice was not difficult.
"Decree it, let Zhao Yang accompany An Le until she recovers!"
