The Emperor of Nanzhao lowered his head, and after a mont, sighed, "Mother, they must harbor treacherous intentions."
"Must harbor treacherous intentions?" The Empress Dowager froze, awkwardly saying, "How can I not understand what you an by must? You an they are nothing like what you said now, but you..."
The Emperor of Nanzhao gently nodded and said, "Indeed, I haven’t told anyone, only you, because like you, I trust no one else!"
Then, the Emperor of Nanzhao told the Empress Dowager what Yu Jizi had said to him, and about the matter of the scroll.
The Empress Dowager was secretly astonished, struggling to say anything for a long ti.
The Emperor of Nanzhao said, "Mother, this temptation is simply too great for . Think about it, throughout history, how many emperors have sought immortality? They exhausted their machinations, spent vast human resources and material ans, and achieved nothing. But now your son is about to succeed; I will beco immortal, a ruler unparalleled in history.
What is the small Nanzhao? What is the mighty Zhuzhao Country? I want this world; I want everyone to bow beneath my feet..."
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a mont, then murmured, "Did you believe it? If the Great Shaman says it, you believe it? But what if it’s fake, and you end up offending Zhuzhao Country."
The Emperor of Nanzhao’s eyes shone, he was beside himself with excitent, and he said, "No, it’s real, Mother, it’s real. Look at the Great Shaman, have you ever seen an old man like him? He is a living example..."
The Great Shaman is indeed perplexing.
However...
The Empress Dowager exclaid, "No, you can’t do this. This is not only faithless and unworthy; it would bring disaster to the people. This is not sothing an emperor should do. You can’t pursue remote immortality at the expense of your people."
"What to fear?" The Emperor of Nanzhao said displeased, "Our n and won of Nanzhao can all rise to battle; they do not fear war. As long as they dare co, our sons and daughters will defeat them overwhelmingly. The terrain of Nanzhao is naturally fortified everywhere.
Everyone wants to annex us, but for thousands of years, no one has managed. As long as they dare co, we guarantee their return will be impossible."
"But... The people’s lives are already very tough, you cannot..."
"No, I must do this." The Emperor of Nanzhao said, "Mother, once I beco soone like the Great Shaman, I will surely lead my people to live like fairies, and Nanzhao will beco a paradise on earth."
The Emperor of Nanzhao’s face was full of a mad expression, as if in the next mont he would beco a fairy.
Such a face made the Empress Dowager feel a bit fearful.
When a person is too obsessed with sothing, they beco mad, even unrecognizable to their kin.
This made the Empress Dowager quite afraid.
At this mont, a maid urgently ran in to request an audience, causing the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to stop their argunt.
"What is so urgent? Is there no sense of decorum?" The Emperor of Nanzhao said irritably.
The maid quickly said, "It... the Fifteenth Prince has returned."
The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor of Nanzhao, who sighed irritably, "Let him co in."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The maid retreated, and the Empress Dowager sighed softly, "Why not return that Princess of Zhuzhao to him? Just a woman, if he likes her, let him have her."
The Emperor of Nanzhao furrowed his brow and nodded gently, "It’s possible to give her to him, but not now."
