nt. They had no idea what was happening outside, and to an onlooker, it might have seemed like they were just playing a game of who blinks first."Sugar, you need to explain.""……" Let me know if you ha...By imperial decree, Heaven's mandate is hereby bestowed upon the Empress of the Northern Border. The Princess, both martial and scholarly, possessing grace and wisdom, has made great contributions in defeating the Great Yue nation. Therefore, tomorrow morning at court, she shall accompany the King of the Northern Border to receive rewards for her service. So it is decreed.

"...."

Upon hearing the contents of this imperial edict, An Xuetang's lips twitched. This emperor was truly as stingy as she had imagined!

He didn't directly bestow rewards upon her, insisting she first present herself before him before granting her grand gifts. Wasn't that just to see how capable she truly was

Then, she would surely not disappoint him.

Mo Yunjing glanced at Yun Si, and Yun Si took the imperial edict from that official's hand.

This Beijiang Prince's Manor is still very generous. At this moment, he smiled and clasped his hands together, "Since..."

"Grand Chamberlain Chen, it's time for you to leave!"

"...."

Before Chen Gong could utter any polite phrases, Yun Si coldly said a sentence, instantly making the atmosphere extremely awkward!

However, Yun Si's tone was laced with killing intent. Chen Gonggong, that old fox, naturally understood, so he bowed repeatedly and backed away, turning to leave without hesitation. He didn't dare to linger; his life was precious!ade a gesture to the tigers, who suddenly roared in unison, as if understanding him perfectly.Such a scene almost made Mr. Liu faint again.However, An Xuetang still stopped Mo Junyi. She looked down a...
