"Your Highness, how do you plan to deal with this situation? Perhaps, we should report it to the Emperor. Once he understands the situation, he won't blame you."
"Do you really think the Emperor is unaware of the situation here?"
"Are you suggesting the Emperor did this intentionally?"
Xiao Junhao didn't respond, his silence serving as a silent agreement.
The look in his eyes startled Pei Wu.
"How much silver do we have left in the palace treasury?"
After a pause, Xiao Junhao asked Pei Wu, who had been managing the palace affairs for many years. On hearing his question, Pei Wu replied quietly, "Your Highness, at most, we can move around a few tens of thousands of taels."
"Why so little?"
Upon hearing Pei Wu's response, Xiao Junhao frowned instinctively. But after his initial surprise, he remained silent.
