Mu Jinghang saw the gun Yin Lei passed over and was stunned.
He remembered seeing this gun somewhere but he couldn't remember where.
Yin Lei continued, "Do you see this? This gun is designed by that Gun God. I had to work so hard to find this."
"This gun alone outcompetes all the other submachine guns in the market. Its accuracy level is basically a miracle. Based on what I've heard, this is the least impressive gun designed by the Gun God."
"If the messages Country Ruan sent out were true and that the Gun God is now on their side, then the Country of Summer is in danger."
"We need to get on the good side of the Xia family. Without the weapons provided by the Xia family, we have nothing to use to fight against Country Ruan."
"You made Houshang lose face today. You're lucky she likes you and didn't give you a hard time. You better apologize for your behavior and try to improve your relationship."
"As for Qiao Qing, it's great that she is capable. However, no matter how good she is, there's nothing she can bring you and there's nothing she can bring to the table for the Country of Summer."
"If you really like her, and Houshang agrees, you can take her in as your concubine."
"After all, in this country, the Emperor is allowed to have many wives. The Empress, however, must be Houshang!"
His words earned Jun Yexuan's dry laughter, "How's that my problem?"
Yin Lei froze, "What?"
"I said," Jun Yexuan raised his head, "How's that my problem?"
He stood up, " I am simply your grandson. What responsibilities, what destiny? I have never been hungry for power so there is no way I am going to take your seat."
"The power of the monarchs or the war against the Quan family… The need to gain the support of the Xia family or the destruction of this country…. How is any of that. My. Problem?"
Yin Lei, "..."
Mu Jinghang started to laugh as well.
It was the Emperor's error to try and manipulate his third brother by using logic rather than emotions.
When it comes to Qiao Qing, his third brother's always has been 30% rationality. He didn't care about reasons or right or wrong.
For Qiao Qing to be a concubine? That crossed the line.
His third brother was willing to send his own grandma to jail. Why would he be a puppet of his grandpa's?
Yin Lei took several breaths to collect himself, "Just how charming is that girl for you to give up your life and your seat as an Emperor? To marry her, you're willing to clash against your grandpa?"
Jun Yexuan said, "Of course you don't understand just how charming she is. I don't need you to understand. This life, I am only going to marry Qiao Qing and I won't even consider other women. The destruction of a country? Even if my marriage causes the destruction of the world, I will not marry another woman!"
Yin Lei's eyes flickered with shock. Only after confirming again and again, did he finally accept that Jun Yexuan was serious about this.
He stopped trying to convince him and said, "If I remember correctly, you are here today to try and find Qiao QIng's father, right?"
Jun Yexuan's body quivered and he stretched his lips into a bitter smile.
He knew it. The familial ties meant nothing to his grandfather.
That self-pity only lasted a second. Soon, Jun Yexuan managed his emotions and returned to his indestructible attitude.
His gaze shot towards Yin Lei, "So what? You want to use that against me and threaten me to become a tool you can use for national security?!"
