Chapter 400: Chapter 398: Noble Lord, Empress_1

"A ten-year-old child, can they really go against the heavens?"

"Mm, Xinzi is right."

The Empress's gaze became momentarily distant, involuntarily following his thoughts as she spoke.

Noble Lord's eyes were filled with a touch of triumphant smile.

"That child, Xinzi has also seen her, nothing special, just exceptionally beautiful, and also quite clever. It's suitable for her to be a companion for Xuan'er."

"Mm."

The Empress involuntarily nodded her head.

"Your Majesty has agreed, you can't go back on your word."

Noble Lord withdrew his gaze, suddenly feeling a pain in his forehead, subconsciously rubbing his brow.

"Alright, I will listen to Xinzi and spare the girl's life for now."

The Empress snapped out of her daze, blinking in confusion, her mind momentarily muddled.

"Xinzi thanks Your Majesty on behalf of the Prince for your care."

Noble Lord gently rubbed his brow, revealing a faint smile.

"The Prince is also my son, how could I not cherish and protect him?"
