Reasserting Power

How about the empress? Naturally, he couldn't move.

"Cousin, we must not do anything to the empress now. I have just taken over the management of Southern Patrol from the hands of His Majesty. If news of the empress's sudden death spreads, everyone will suspect me."

The current Hu Xiao absolutely could not let anything happen to him. What they needed to do now was to keep Hu Xiao trapped in their Liuzhou City, and not let him appear while she was sacrificing her life for the heavens.

"That's fine too. Cousin, please be careful. I'll go arrange other things first."

Wen Fuchen had thought through what Xue Mier had said, this was definitely not the best time, and if it was so, then he could take this chance to rest and grasp the rights to land in Hu Xiao's hands, at that time, even if Hu Xiao were to come back, it would be useless.
