r, he still needed the man, so he had to avoid getting on his bad side.
Even though he despised this Royal Uncle of his, he did not show it on his face.

Long Xiao slammed his hand down on the table angrily.
“But Long Chi, a man should at least have principles! I admit that I desire Great Shang’s throne, but I’ve never thought of resorting to something so despicable as a plague.
Do you know what will happen if the plague spreads at the frontier? The Yan Kingdom and Danjue will break through our city walls without having to lift a finger! And you still want to take advantage of the situation and dispatch your troops? Long Chi, you disgust me!”

Long Chi laughed brusquely.
“Why bother putting on the noble act, Royal Uncle? Since our goals are the same, who are you to criticize me?”

In a rage, Long Xiao planted one hand on the table and grabbed a fistful of Long Chi’s shirt with the other.
“Let me tell you this very clearly—I desire the throne, but at least I have my principles! We can stir up chaos inside the kingdom, but don’t you ever touch the soldiers at the frontier! Do you hear me?”

Long Chi pushed his hand away and snickered.
“Royal Uncle, I didn’t come here tonight to listen to your lecture.
Do you think you’re the only one who has principles? It’s true that the plague was my doing, but I’ll give them the antidote when the time comes.
I’m only doing this to make the Emperor panic.”

“You really have the antidote?” Long Xiao stared straight at him.

“Of course,” said Long Chi firmly.
“Besides, it’s not a plague.
It’s just a poison, but it won’t kill them.”

Hearing this, Long Xiao finally exhaled in relief and slumped into the chair behind him.

If Long Chi had really planned to sacrifice the soldiers at the frontier on his path to the throne, he would do everything in his power to kill him today.
