There was nothing Auntie Lan could do now. Without the king's permission, no one could rehire Jin Xiaoxi.
Since she could not console the boy, she had to talk to the king.
Huo Yunshen had just finished a meeting with some state guests. Upon returning to the Triumph Palace he saw Auntie Lan waiting for him by the gate together with Little Grape.
Huo Yunshen came and asked, "What's going on? Why are you both here?"
Auntie Lan felt embarrassed and said. "Your Majesty, it's your call. His Highness insists on seeing her!"
Huo Yunshen knew who Auntie Lan was referring to and could not help frowning.
Little Grape got hold of his clothes and raised his head to ask, "Daddy, can you bring Auntie Xiaoxi back? You promised me that when I was fine she would be back. When is she coming back? Can you take me to her?"
