Chapter 468: Marshal is backing up the mermaid husband again (16)

"I should have known it long ago. He never treated me as his mother at all. Now he even dares to betray the empire!" Zhao Yi suddenly swept everything on the table to the ground, his eyes red.

Yan Changxiao frowned, "Mother, you told me about mermaids a long time ago. He didn't act on his own initiative..."

"What?! You want to liberate the mermaid too?!" Zhao Yi suddenly looked up and looked at Yan Changxiao.

"You were bewitched by him, weren't you? Did he force you to say that? I knew it, I knew it. If I had known this, I should have strangled him to death!"

Zhao Yi repeated it like a madman, and the resentment in her tone made Yan Changxiao feel that she was a little scary.

"I don't care! I won't allow the Mermaid Protection Act! Yan Changxiao, if you were my son, you are not allowed to agree to this!"

Zhao Yi, in turn, immediately grabbed Yan Changxiao and asked him to promise not to enact a mermaid protection law.

Yan Changxiao frowned, "Mother, mermaids have been in dire straits for so many years. Father had intended to promote the liberation of mermaids before. What we are doing now can be regarded as inheriting the will of the father. Why are you so angry?"

Zhao Yi was stunned, "He also wants to free the mermaid?"

Yan Changxiao nodded, "Yes, it's a pity that the nobles were too powerful back then, so father had to put it aside for the time being..."

"Ha, ha... So that's what he thinks..." Zhao Yi laughed at herself. She thought she had already impressed that man a long time ago, but she didn't expect that she had never been truly accepted by him after all these years!

Seeing Zhao Yi's collapse, Yan Changxiao stepped forward and supported her with some concern, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Yi waved her hand and pushed him away, "I'm fine, you go out, I want to be alone."

She didn't want to see Yan Changxiao's face now.

Yan Changxiao clenched his other hand hanging by his side, then quickly loosened it, saying calmly, "Okay, then you should have a good rest."

He had long been accustomed to it. From childhood to adulthood, Zhao Yi would never tell him anything and would only give him orders after making a decision.

He knew that Zhao Yi was doing this for his own good, but sometimes he still couldn't understand why she was always like this.

It's like locking yourself in a glass house, not allowing anyone to get close, and completely isolating yourself from other people.

If you are unhappy, others will be unhappy too.

Yan Changxiao sighed softly. He was tired and didn't want to force it anymore. He just let her do it.

After coming out of Zhao Yi's palace, Yan Changxiao went straight to the meeting room.

Although Zhao Yi obviously disagreed with the liberation of the mermaids just now, this was his father's last will and it was also something he and Changsui had discussed.

If we want to solve the problem of noble privileges, we must start with the independence of the mermaids and succeed!

Of course, some things are not so easy to succeed. Various forces in the upper echelons of the empire are intertwined, and there are intricate connections between officials and nobles.

Moreover, even if there are officials who do not have the support of the nobles, there are bound to be some who raise mermaids. The implementation of the Mermaid Protection Law not only affects the nobles' pie, but also their interests.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. Mermaids have been kept as pets by humans for so many years. It may be difficult to convince the public to suddenly establish a law to protect mermaids!" There is a little trick to raising mermaids.

"Yes, and there has been a blood feud between humans and mermaids for so many years. Even if we enact such a law, it may be of no use!" This is upright but only from the perspective of humans.

"Changsui has reached a consensus with the mermaids. As long as the empire accepts them, they are willing to live in peace in a corner." Yan Changxiao looked at everyone and said in a calm voice.
