"Then you've got it all wrong." The emperor wore a smile of amusement, "Marquis Wuping and his lot are panicking right now."
"Marquis Wuping and his lot don't have time to be happy, why would they be panicking?"
The emperor shifted his posture, propping his chin with his right hand, and cast a scrutinizing gaze over Sun Kui.
"Have you forgotten your master's temperament? Do you think Marquis Wuping and his lot have the guts to spread these rumors? Do they dare stir up trouble in the dark?"
Prompted by the emperor's question, Sun Kui finally caught on.
"Marquis Wuping and his lot wouldn't dare." They know well the emperor's difficult temperament. If they were truly behind spreading the rumors, trapping the emperor in a disadvantageous position, the emperor surely wouldn't let them off easily. Besides, fundamentally, it's their fault in the first place.
The emperor grinned mischievously, "Now this is interesting."
