Chapter 279: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Liu Zhi carefully reminded her, "But I heard that Duke Lang had begged the emperor. The emperor only dealt with County Governor Lu lightly on his account. Otherwise, County Governor Lu might not even survive."

Noble Consort Shu slammed her palm on the table and scolded angrily.

"You're actually speaking up for an outsider? Whose side are you on?!"

Liu Zhi hurriedly knelt down and said in fear.

"I'm naturally on your side! I hope you can calm down and not be rash. Duke Lang was deeply trusted by the emperor. If we fought him head-on, we might suffer. Why don't you endure it for the time being? As long as there's life, there's hope."

Noble Consort Shu sneered. "Don't I know what you're talking about? I naturally won't attack Duke Lang directly."

Liu Zhi looked up. "What do you mean?"

Noble Consort Shu looked down at her red nails and said slowly.
