In the grand hall.
Xiao Luming's expression is cold, while Xie Qianyun wears an expression of martyrdom.
The two remain in a standoff.
Wu Huahao is truly frightened out of his wits by Xie Qianyun.
In the military camp, she may not fear the Great General, after all the General is her own mother, and at most she could be beaten but not beheaded. But here, accompanying the Emperor is akin to staying with a tiger, should he be displeased, this is practically sending oneself to the Yama Hall!
The silence is suffocating.
Seeing Xiao Luming delay in responding, Xie Qianyun speaks loudly again, her attitude firm, "Your Majesty, it matters not whether you lead the expedition personally, but please allow this consort to accompany Wu Huahao to the border to repel the Tartar!"
"Empress and Wu Huahao, withdraw for now. Whether the Empress goes to the border will be reconsidered," Xiao Luming says coldly.
Xie Qianyun still wants to say something.
