"Father, rest assured." Min sobbed: "They are my own brothers, I will certainly protect them."
The Emperor nodded with satisfaction, just about to speak when suddenly Chief Chang's voice came from outside, speaking with someone. The Emperor vaguely recognized the person's voice, his gaze darkening as he tightly furrowed his brows.
Thinking for a moment, he said: "You may go."
Min bowed his head and left, encountering Le Xiu at the doorway.
Le Xiu looked anxious and asked: "How is the Emperor now?" She entered the palace without declaration.
"He just took his medicine and is resting now." Min threw a glance at Le Xiu, whispering: "Why has the Empress entered the palace?"
Chief Chang hurriedly brushed past them, Le Xiu did not respond to Min's question but grabbed Chief Chang: "Where are you going?"
Chief Chang looked inside, lowered his voice to reply: "The Emperor has summoned Fourth Master Xiao into the palace."
