Chapter 2159: Chapter 2159: What a Miscalculation, Such a Miscalculation!

He was merely thinking that the matter between the Yiinn Family and the royal family of the Beikun Kingdom should be kept away from the common people as much as possible.

It was best to avoid troubles whenever possible. At crucial times, he also had to protect the common people of the Beikun Kingdom from suffering the ravages of war, instead of becoming homeless once again.

“The common people are always innocent, and it would be best if this strife could be settled peacefully.”

“Indeed.”

Seeing that State Scholar Qing said so, the other State Knights had to agree, albeit without options.

For the sake of the common people, any sacrifice they had to make was acceptable. As for the Emperor of Beikun, such a deplorable emperor, they really didn’t want to bother with him anymore; he could do whatever he wished.

Thus, they went towards the imperial study room, albeit, they all walked very slowly.

The Chief of the Imperial Guards nearly went mad seeing their sluggish pace and kept reminding them to move faster; otherwise, His Majesty would be in danger.

…

Inside the imperial study room, the Emperor of Beikun was beside himself with anger after watching the State Knights leave.

But he was powerless, knowing that the person invited by the Yiinn Family would soon come for him, he couldn’t predict the outcome. He still had to figure out a way to completely annihilate the Yiinn Family.

“Had I known it would be such a hassle, I should have killed Yiinn Wanli from the start. With him gone, would I still fear those two kids stirring up trouble?”

He furiously punched the table and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

The young eunuch standing behind him dared not utter a word.

Everyone in the Plant Plane knew that the Yiinn Family still had two children. However, despite only having two children, three states covetously eyed them.

Moreover, there was only one Yiinn Stone Space; who wouldn’t want it? Everyone wanted to monopolize it, right?

If the Emperor of Beikun really managed to seize those two children, it could lead to the downfall of his nation. This was also why the Emperor, despite his desire for the Yiinn Stone, did not dare to make a move initially.

He too feared a united front against him from the other states.

“No good, I must find a way. These State Knights, they eat and drink at my expense all year round. But when I actually need them, they become utterly useless!”

He loathed those State Knights in his heart, for such a trivial matter and they had all sorts of excuses to push it aside and then they left.

Did they really think that he had nobody else to rely on but them?

“If they push me to the brink, I’ll send the troops to wipe out the Yiinn Family and the entire Gui Ting Manor. Let’s see how Yiinn Wanli can remain so arrogant then!” he viciously declared.

Not killing Yiinn Wanli when he had the chance was truly the biggest mistake he had ever made.

Even if he could not do it openly, he could have sent someone to do it covertly. As long as the children were in his hands, what would those other states have to worry about?

It was very foolish. Why didn’t he think of that at the time?

A grave miscalculation, truly a grave miscalculation!

“The Emperor of Beikun truly has guts!”

Just as he was pondering how to kill Yiinn Wanli and bring those two children to his side, suddenly, he heard a mocking voice ringing in his ears.

“Who’s there?”

He was startled and looked up in the direction of the voice.

Upon looking up, he saw three men and a woman walking into the imperial study room. Moreover, they were strangers, people he had never seen before.

“Who are you, do you know where you are? Looking for death, aren’t you?” he interrogated.
