"The cruelest punishment for such kind of a person is to prevent him from getting everything he wants and letting him see the overwhelming power in his hand vanishes. This can be done to men and so is to the women."

Dongfang Mu's eyes flickered and a smile appeared on his face: "Zhi'e, you mean to say, that if Prince Xiao and the empress become a laughing stock in the world and scolded by the people, the emperor will have a reason to dispose of them? "

The smile on Bai Zhi's face grew wider: "Grandpa, I don't know how to deal with them, and I don't know the most effective way to do it. However, you and Chu Yan must have a way to deal with them, right?"

Dongfang Mu lightly snorted: "I, Dongfang Mu, never stood in anyone's side. All the princes need to rely on their own ability to gain power. Chu Yan can achieve today's achievements thanks to his own efforts. Although I am his master, and I am in the political influence, but I have never helped him in anything. He walked on his own step by step."

This was also the biggest reason why he admires Chu Yan. Chu Feng was born and grew up in the imperial capital. He was 2 years older than Chu Yan, but he has never acted as the eldest brother even for a single day and was blatantly engages in private affairs in the court. If such a person becomes an emperor, then the Chu Country will not be far from subjugation.

Chu Feng was given a title with the help of his empress mother and because of the victory that Chu Yan fought on the front line for many years.

After Chu Yan disappeared, he took over all Chu Yan's forces in the northwest before his other brothers could make a move. The emperor saw everything in his eyes, but he didn't reveal the truth. However, it didn't mean that he was confused and doesn't argue with right and wrong.

The emperor knows everything in his heart. To stabilize the situation, he can only slow things down first, and turn a blind eye to some things.

However, when it comes to the key point and principle his heart has never changed. Otherwise, Chu Feng will not only have a title. As for the position of the empress, it's fine for Su Chun to sit on it for a while. It was still unknown who will to sit in it in the end.

"I once swore in front of the sickbed of the first emperor. To stabilize the court, I would never stand on any side, not with the court officials, or in the military. But now, the situation has changed. If I continue to keep my promise, the future of Chu Country will be in jeopardy."

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow: "So, are you planning to stand in line?" The joy on her face suddenly disappeared without a trace. For some reason, a deep sense of loss suddenly surged in her heart.

Dongfang Mu nodded his head: "The state of Chu needs a wise monarch. Only by having a wise monarch can the Chu Country continue to be strong. Otherwise, if the national power becomes weak, those neighboring countries that originally staring at the Chu will definitely rush in. Then, the people of the state will live in danger forever."

Bai Zhi lowered her eyes and said 'Oh' softly. Then, she poured herself a cup of tea and drank slowly.

Seeing her abnormal condition, Dongfang Mu asked: "Zhi'er, what's wrong with you? Are you not happy?"

Bai Zhi shook her head and smiled reluctantly: "No, how could I not be happy? I am very happy."

Dongfang Mu couldn't see through Bai Zhi. This child seemed to have been born with an exquisite heart. She has many ideas and thoughts, which is why he can't tell what she was thinking.

Bai Zhi's mood suddenly fell. She sent Dongfang Mu away and then lie on the couch in a daze.

If one day Chu Yan really becomes the emperor, what will she do? Is she going to be kept in captivity in that cannibal harem for the rest of her life?
