"If this old minister were to tell you, my lord..."
"...that the person behind the events of those years was once the Grand Empress Dowager!"
Wang Wan lowered his voice as he spoke.
His words fell.
Fusu's expression changed: "Grandmother, the Grand Empress Dowager? Why would she do such a thing?"
"All of it was for profit and for power."
"As for the specifics, this old minister also does not know much. Perhaps only the Grand Empress Dowager and Lv Buwei of those days are clear about it."
"There is nothing more to be said on this."
"The reason this old minister mentions it today is merely to remind you, my lord, that you must never obliquely mention this matter in front of the Great King, nor must you ever offend Xia Wuqie because of it."
"In the Great King's heart, all the civil and military officials of court together do not compare to a single Xia Wuqie."
"Think deeply on this in your heart, my lord."
