King of Sangnan, though past the age of knowing destiny, maintained himself well, with kind eyebrows and eyes and a handsome face, vaguely reminiscent of the elegant and charming man he was in his youth. Han Ziqi entered the palace and went straight to the Imperial Study for an audience, without any pleasantries between father and son. King of Sangnan immediately asked, "What is Xie Jue's attitude?"
"Father, what we are scheming might be in jeopardy. Xie Jue is impervious to persuasion, seemingly uninterested in Sangnan. I tried to appeal emotionally, but he remained unmoved, just like a piece of wood. If we want to persuade Xie Jue, we might need to offer more." Han Ziqi looked at his respected father and spoke candidly.
The father and son shared a very close relationship; Han Ziqi was born to the King of Sangnan's favorite woman and raised with care. Despite having a capable and valiant eldest son and a strategically gifted third son, he favored the Princely Heir the most.
