"Impudent." As soon as Wang Ze finished speaking, Gao Qiu sternly reprimanded him, cursing in his heart that even discussing the Emperor's harem was seeking death.
Wang Ze lowered his head and bowed slightly to Gao Qiu.
Zhao Ji's eyes slightly narrowed as he waved to Gao Qiu, indicating it was fine, then said to Wang Ze, "General Wang, what do you mean by that?"
Possibly due to the scolding from Gao Qiu earlier, Wang Ze realized he might have overstepped, but since Zhao Ji wanted him to speak, he had to finish:
"Your Majesty, due to the unique nature of the harem, the Imperial Guard cannot defend too closely, coupled with the eunuchs and palace maids coming and going, compared to other places, the harem's defenses are prone to lapses..."
This time, Wang Ze wasn't too direct, his words were more tactful.
After all, the palace was only inhabited by the Emperor and the people from the harem.
Civil and military officials did not reside in the palace.
