Fall of the Imperial Advisor

The emperor's move not only showed the magnificence of his imperial bearing and might but also enabled him to use Feixue as a hostage.

There was no way Feixue could have joined the palace's ranks and become a queen.

The imperial advisor said to Emperor Li, "I thank you, your majesty, for pardoning the people of the Imperial Advisor's Residence. However, Feixue is blind and her body is frail. I'm afraid that she would not be worthy of such an honor. As for Yan Yuan and the others, I'm afraid that they will have their reservations because of what happened to me. I ask you to allow them to choose their own path."

Emperor Li lowered his head and looked at the imperial advisor with much disappointment. He was confident that he had been very good to the imperial advisor, but it seemed that the imperial advisor had never truly been willing to serve him wholeheartedly.
