The crown prince arrived at the Palace of Dusk. He was then escorted by the special sevants into the private room to see the empress.
Li Jun couldn't help but become stiff whenever he was about to meet the empress. He wondered since when had he felt this way.
Once upon a time, he had felt adoration and respect towards his imperial mother but the more he knew, the more he became cautious to act in front of her.
She had made him walk on eggshells around her.
"There you are, my son," the empress smiled when she saw her son.
Li Jun forced himself to smile as he greeted, "Good morning, imperial mother. I wish you always in good health and may prosperity bless you for life,"
The empress chuckled, seemingly amused. She put down her fan on the table slowly but the thudding sound it made caused one's heart to tremble.
