"Well, it is to be expected after all. His status is different now than it was in the past."
Qin Yi remained silent for a while before uttering these words, his voice laden with deep disappointment.
He was a child of just nine years old. It was remarkable enough that he had developed the capabilities he had now. How much more could he really expect?
"No matter! Let's just take it one step at a time."
Ye Han shook his head, "Since you have returned, go and carry out your duty in the palace to avoid suspicion. At present, I'm merely a clay idol crossing the river, struggling to even safeguard myself! You must tread carefully, and not let others seize upon your lapse."
"I understand."
Even though Qin Yi was secretly anxious, he forced himself to stay calm and requested an audience with His Majesty in the palace.
Fortunately, the presence of the amiable eunuch reassured him considerably. From the expression on the eunuch's face, His Majesty must still hold some affection for him.
