Surprisingly, no one actually made a protest. NONE. Nobody in the table of royals made a fuss about Prince Qui's answer to Emperor Guang. Princess Yingyue—their biggest bargaining chip, the person who gave most protection than the walls—was being placed on a bet, and not one person made a sound.
Tianshi Xue's jaw was lax. Did the royals actually trust Prince Qui that much? They were going to put their most formidable barrier on his hands?!
"H-hey," peeped Tianshi Xue. "Why do we have to reach that point? We're all family now. I can go to Shanmai when I please and I'm sure that Shanmai would give support to Heping whenever it needs help."
Before anyone could react, she snatched Prince Qui's and Emperor Guang's wrists under the table. She squeezed both with trembling fingers, but they should know that she was warning them both. "RIGHT?!" she asked her eyes wide at her husband and her brother.
Emperor Guang was the first to answer, "Of course."
