(MC POV)
The staredown continued for several more moments, the guards and coachmen expecting me to do something while I just stood there patting Cai Hong.
One of the coachmen probably got tired of waiting and leapt off the carriage, giving me a stink eye before opening the door of the carriage for its occupant.
A middle aged, bearded man was seated inside the carriage, dressed in some sort of gaudy clothes with gold decorating almost every inch of it.
He had the Royal Family insignia sewn on every visible part of his clothes too, like he was worried that people wouldn't know he was of Royal blood.
Except I remember the only other living member of the Royal Bei Family was Queen Guiying so who could this be? Some long lost uncle or something that was taking advantage of the current Royal Family's situation to claim power?
Nah, it can't really be that right?
