The man and his fellow ministers fell silent at those words.
Their king... was beyond saving.
The man glared at Xiao Yu, then turned to Qi Yunheng,
his face full of indignation. "Your Majesty, even if he's telling the truth now, who knows whether he'll change his tune tomorrow? After all, he has so many male favorites in the Jin Kingdom!"
