"How did I become tyrannical? Haha, Xie Yun, you are quite amusing," Rong Jing said with a smile, his ability to change expressions so quickly left Gu Lan speechless.
"I misspoke," Xie Yun replied with a faint smile, breathing a sigh of relief internally, realizing that the Emperor no longer minded the matter.
"Everyone, rise," the Emperor addressed the crowd kneeling before him, his smile as harmless as that of a noble gentleman, "Changle, today is your coming-of-age ceremony, why would I punish you? Besides, it was my oversight in not considering your bond with Prince Rui."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Baoyi stood up in surprise, tears shimmering in her eyes.
Rong Miaoyan also felt relieved, grateful that Xie Yun mentioned Marquis Gu, calming her father down.
