Chapter 466 scared silly
His goal was simply to completely crush the Sikong Royal Residence in order to control military power.
In fact, it was indeed a great injustice.
Back then, he hadn’t been involved at all. However, it was impossible to keep him completely in the dark about the events happening in the capital city; at most, he had been a bystander.
As he pondered over these thoughts, the old Emperor once again felt a headache coming on.
If only he had known how useless Sikong Yun’s family would be, he would have chosen to save Sikong Mo back then.
Even if, out of moral obligation, he couldn’t personally take action against Sikong Mo, at least having saved his life would have put him in a favorable moral position, making Sikong Mo even more devoted and loyal to Dongyue.
The Chief Eunuch, as the only Chief Eunuch by the old Emperor’s side, naturally had to consider everything for the old Emperor. After much hesitation, he still spoke up to advise, "Emperor, the Empress’s sixtieth birthday is only five days away. Do you think it’s too obvious to order the War King to leave the capital now? Maybe... we should wait until after the Empress’s grand birthday celebration to issue the imperial decree?"
In the end, the imperial decree ordering him to leave the capital was not issued. Instead, to comfort the War King who had been missing these past few days, the old Emperor issued another decree to express his affectionate care.
