Zhao Yunhuai froze.
He had grown up under his elder sister's thumb and knew the meaning behind her every move. He instantly behaved, returning to his spot and sitting down cross-legged, all his arrogant demeanor vanished.

But then, Empress Chenzhao's brow furrowed again. Lu Songwen didn't dare make a rash move and could only remain standing where he was.
