Xue Wei was stunned by what he had been told. Although he was somewhat hesitant to believe what was said, he was also aware that it was likely correct.
Whenever the Emperor spoke about his mother, his face was soft and gentle.
It was clear that he had known Xue Wei's mother well, and that he considered her at least a friend.
Xue Wei lowered his head and was in deep thought, but the Emperor let him think without saying anything to disrupt him.
After a bit of time, Xue Wei lifted his head again, and he had hidden all his emotions behind his emotionless face, but even so, the Emperor was not annoyed.
"Do you know what happened to your mother?" The Emperor finally asked the question that he was worried about the most, but Xue Wei shook his head.
"I have no memories of a mother," he said honestly, "Do you have any knowledge about an Azure Dragon named Xiao Lei?"
