The court hall was silent.
No one spoke.
Ye Liuyun, for his part, had no intention of getting involved at this moment. Instead, he looked curiously at Lei Zheng beside him.
"Marquis Ning'an?"
Seeing Ye Liuyun's gaze turn his way,
Lei Zheng explained, utterly unconcerned.
"You only recently took the position of Southern Governor, there's a lot you still don't know. Marquis Ning'an and Marquis Wanshun are the same—they don't have much power, just an empty marquis title."
"But, in one thing they're exactly alike."
Under Ye Liuyun's curious gaze,
Lei Zheng explained softly, every word measured.
"Both their titles were personally granted by the old emperor. In other words, they're the old emperor's people!"
"So their main purpose is to deal with the old emperor?"
Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow.
If the people who escaped from Purgatory were simply seeking revenge, they'd probably attack indiscriminately.
Not target their strikes so precisely.
