Originally, seeing Qiong Hua here was already quite unexpected for him. And seeing that mischievous child, who had played tricks on him several times, nestled in Qiong Hua's arms, affectionately calling Qiong Hua mother, Emperor Yongning's surprise was akin to having a restful sleep in the middle of the night, only for the room to suddenly catch fire.
A great wave of shock stirred within him.
But an emperor is indeed an emperor.
After a brief surprise, he regained his composure.
He ordered the Imperial Guard to stand outside the Cold Palace, allowing no one to enter. Everyone present today, except for the Imperial Guard and eunuchs, was to be immediately expelled from the palace, with Xiao Lizi personally overseeing the matter to ensure no mistakes were made.
Fortunately, there were not many outsiders present today, only an old matron of the Cold Palace and two guards.
I trust Xiao Lizi will handle it perfectly.
