Ah Jiu received the message that Wufu entrusted to Mo Lan, and moved into action. Several subtle commands were dispersed, then he glanced distantly at Emperor Yan, nodded, and turned away.
Emperor Yan's gaze was deep, with a flicker of coldness passing through his eyes. His lips curled coldly but quickly settled. He beckoned Prince Dong.
Prince Dong obediently came to his side.
Emperor Yan patted his head and said, "Stay by your father's side."
He was his only son!
Upon hearing this, Prince Dong obediently sat beside him, while Xiao Qi, who had heard Mo Lan's words, stood expressionless behind him, scanning the surroundings warily with amber eyes.
Emperor Yan glanced at Xiao Qi, so young yet calm, steady, and vigilant, this was the person of the Princess Consort of Jin.
He then looked at his son again and sighed lightly.
