After arriving at the National Guardian General Mansion, Xiao Lizi didn't bother with pleasantries with anyone. He sought out Jun Ning and directly addressed the matter at hand, "Princess, please follow the Emperor's instructions and do not keep the person. Okay?"
Lan Xihe was right there, yet Xiao Lizi brought up this issue, completely disregarding Lan Xihe.
Lan Xihe also feared being abandoned!
She stood behind Jun Ning, trembling, lips tightly pursed, head hung low, clutching her garment's hem in fright.
"The Emperor is doing this for your sake." Xiao Lizi continued with heartfelt sincerity.
"Regardless of what Father thinks, I will definitely keep Lan Xihe." Jun Ning was resolute, "Lan Xihe isn't a bad person, nor will she harm me. She's just a poor soul separated from her parents, and if I don't take care of her, she'll die."
"Princess…" Xiao Lizi spoke helplessly, "There are countless pitiable people in the world. If you take care of all of them, can you manage?"
