Long Feiye and Han Yunxi hadn’t even reached the Duke of Qin’s estate when Emperor Tianhui sent men to receive them at the capital and summon Long Feiye to court.
“Are you coming along?” Long Feiye asked.
Han Yunxi gave a start, never expecting Long Feiye to ask her. She wasn’t the clingy type, nor had he ever taken her along on his formal business.
Long Feiye knitted his brows and asked again, “Are you coming?”
“I’m going!” Han Yunxi replied loudly. How could I miss such a good show?
By now, the skies were already dark. Despite this, a throng of people stood outside Emperor Tianhui’s imperial study. There was the crown prince Long Tianmo, Great General Mu and his son, the Prime Minister of the Right, Su Shaokun, the high official of the Ministry of War, and the high official of the Ministry of Revenue. Naturally, all of these men were from Emperor Tianhui’s side.
“His Highness Duke of Qin arrives, esteemed wangfei arrives,” a eunuch proclaimed loudly.
All of the gathered men exchanged glances at the announcement before breaking out into whispers. Why did Qin Wangfei Han Yunxi come? The emperor had summoned the Duke of Qin to discuss serious military matters, so what was a woman like her doing in a place like this? After all, there were no women present at this imperial study, aside from a few court ladies. Long Tianmo and Mu Qingwu’s expressions both looked complicated. They were the only people who hadn’t made any comments. Emperor Tianhui watched his people talk while remaining silent himself, knowing all too well what was coming.
Very soon, Long Feiye and Han Yunxi arrived. Both of them bowed and offered greetings to the emperor, while everyone else bowed and greeted them in turn. Han Yunxi’s gaze lingered on Emperor Tianhui for awhile and discovered that this man in his forties had grown much older in their months-long absence. There wre even a few strands of white hair growing from his temples. On the one hand, he’d been battling with an illness, on the other, there were state affairs plaguing his heart. The worries for the upcoming battle were there to vex him as well. It really wasn’t easy being an emperor.
“Qin Wangfei hasn’t been to the palace in a long time. It’s about time you paid respects to the empress dowager,” Emperor Tianhui was obviously trying to drive Han Yunxi away.
Before Han Yunxi could speak, Long Feiye remarked, “Chendi1 hasn’t seen empress dowager in awhile as well, so I shall accompany wangfei.”
His attitude silenced the entire crowd.
