"Erm… The 13th Prince… is here!"
The eunuch outside of the Weiyang Palace stumbled upon those words.
Everyone in the palace stopped what they were doing and stared at the palace's slowly opening
gate.
There was dead silence, and only the 13th Prince's footsteps could be heard loud and clear.
Shen Ao could still fake a smile to the guests a moment ago. However, upon hearing this dreadful piece of news, he could no longer do it.
He started to doubt if he had somehow offended the God of Fate.
Ever since the 13th Prince had reached the age of six and started to understand what was going on around him, he would seldom appear on such occasions. He had been living alone in Lan's Palace for the past 10 years.
Even when his father would have a birthday celebration, he would simply make someone pass the king his present.
He had never shown his face for a banquet, and everyone was taking it as the norm.
