Hua Yan made a soft "um" sound in response to Yun Chi's words but did not say anything.
Yun Chi smiled and said, "It is said that Emperor Taizu was fond of Empress Shun Jing from the previous dynasty. He started the uprising for her, but by the time his army reached the Imperial City, Empress Shun Jing had followed Emperor Huaiyu in drinking poison. Emperor Taizu was truly heartbroken, and even after taking control of the Imperial City, he waited half a year before ascending the throne."
This time, Hua Yan did not utter a sound, seemingly listening quietly.
