Having just flipped through two pages, a small palace maid walked in from outside, "Empress Dowager, Marquis Changan requests an audience."
"Let him in."
Yao Guang instructed directly, as An Xuan shared a close relationship with them.
Ji Ruyan especially regarded An Xuan as her own younger brother, so naturally, Yao Guang also saw An Xuan as a confidant.
An Xuan walked in and cupped his hands towards Yao Guang, "An Xuan greets the Empress Dowager, may the Empress Dowager live a thousand years."
"Marquis Changan, dispense with the formalities, have a seat."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
An Xuan nodded in response, then sat down.
After sitting down, Yao Guang noticed him give her a look, indicating he wished to speak privately, so she dismissed the palace maids on either side of the room.
Once An Xuan saw everyone leave, he said, "There is good news, and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Let's start with the bad news."
