Hearing Zhao Yan's words, even Guo Kai, who wasn't very bright, was stunned.
"Great King," he began, "even if Ying Zheng hates his mother, she is still the one who gave birth to him, and nominally the Empress Dowager of Qin. How could it possibly be done, kidnapping Concubine Zhao from Qin?"
"Yong City is one of Qin's most vital strongholds!" Guo Kai added.
"Prime Minister, are you willing to do anything for me?" Zhao Yan turned his head, his gaze intensely serious as he looked at Guo Kai.
Under this stare, Guo Kai grew anxious. But his entire position as Prime Minister was a gift from Zhao Yan. If his answer wasn't satisfactory, Zhao Yan could dispose of him at any moment. He knew that in the court, Lian Po, Li Mu, and even Zhao Yi all despised him and couldn't wait to see him gone!
"Everything I have was given to me by the Great King. I am willing to go through fire and water for the Great King, without a moment's hesitation," Guo Kai immediately knelt to express his loyalty.
