章節 216: 216 Supreme

Zhao Yi called over one of the servant girls and said, "Change my clothes for me."

For a moment, he seemed to be transported back to that night eighteen years earlier.

A group of court officials stormed into his imperial residence, promptly bowing before him in unison.

He was well aware that he was not favored by his own father, and as such preferred to avoid being seen in his father's presence.

He originally thought that he would live his entire life without gaining any notoriety.
