"The Crown Prince is here?"
The Emperor repeated the question, his stunned demeanor revealing a trace of aged foolishness on his well-maintained face.
"Yes, he has arrived at the palace gates—"
The Emperor abruptly stood up.
"How many troops?"
"A hundred from the Xuan Yi Guard..."
"A hundred?"
"Indeed... Shouting at the front lines... The Crown Prince led a hundred from the Xuan Yi Guard, crossed Ba Bridge, and came to see Your Majesty with the general..."
The Emperor was dumbfounded.
Did he come just on a shout?
Bringing only a hundred from the Xuan Yi Guard?
Was he obedient or arrogant?
"Let him in," the Emperor frowned and said, "Let him come in alone!"
But when Li Mu truly appeared alone before him, fear suddenly grew in his heart, which then turned to anger: "How dare you!"
He grabbed something and threw it at Li Mu.
Li Mu didn't even blink, raising his hand to catch the pen he hurled between his two fingers.
It was the Imperial Brush Red Seal.
