"Look at what she has turned Xiao Qi into." The Emperor spoke with disdain, "That mother and son believe they are hiding well. Do they think I am a fool or blind?"
Sun Kui silently thought: Is this the reason you dislike the Seventh Prince, Your Majesty?
"The Empress believes her noble status as the main daughter of the Xie family makes her superior to everyone. And as for Xiao Qi, he thinks being the main son and the Xie family's legitimate nephew gives him status even higher than the Crown Prince's, feeling I should establish him as the Crown Prince."
These words from the Emperor were difficult for Sun Kui to respond to.
"This mother and son both believe they have noble lineage and that everyone in the world should revere them."
Sun Kui could only respond with a dry laugh.
"Go and see the Empress, and relay my words to her." The Emperor was truly reluctant to see Empress Xie.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Kui bowed to the Emperor and retreated respectfully.
