When Huo Xing'Er arrived at the Emperor's private courtyard, Ji Youyuan had just arrived as well, and they met at the door of the Emperor's room.
"Big Brother!"
Huo Xing'Er was the first to call out to Ji Youyuan.
Ji Youyuan nodded slightly at her, expressing courtesy.
Huo Xing'Er observed Ji Youyuan's serious demeanor and heavy thoughts, she opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.
Outside the Emperor's courtyard, guards stood every three steps and sentries every five steps.
Seeing Ji Youyuan and Huo Xing'Er, the leading guard hurriedly clasped his hands in salute.
"Sect Leader Ji, Second Madame, His Majesty and the National Master are inside awaiting you both, please come in."
The guard spoke, gently knocking on the door twice, and it was unexpectedly opened by Princess Ata.
"Sect Leader Ji, Second Madame, please!"
Princess Ata maintained a very humble posture, remaining as discerning as ever in front of the Ji Family members.
