Ling Hua respectfully accepted the secret decree and half the Tiger Talisman handed to her by the Emperor.
The Emperor had a solemn expression, "Ling Hua, I trust you, don't let me down."
The Emperor felt that trusting Ling Hua so much was quite rash. Previously, he did not trust her to this extent; he believed what she said. But now, this trust began when Xiao Zhen became the Crown Prince. He did not trust her because of her loyalty to him, but because of her loyalty to Xiao Zhen and her wholehearted support in helping him ascend the throne.
It was based on this that he dared to entrust Ling Hua with such a heavy responsibility, giving away half of Youzhou's Tiger Talisman.
Although the Emperor knew clearly that this half of the Tiger Talisman might not be useful for the 300,000 troops in Youzhou, it represented the Emperor's trust and entrustment, equivalent to handing over his power to Ling Hua.
