"Imperial Father?"
"Get lost!"
Xiao Junhao tried to explain, but as soon as he began, Emperor Qi Ming rebuked him angrily.
"Prince Qing, it's better if you leave the palace now. Don't further infuriate the Emperor."
Xiao Nanye, who was standing on the side, gently interjected after witnessing the scene.
Upon hearing Xiao Nanye's words, Xiao Junhao's eyes filled with gloom. He dared not argue, instead, he bowed to Emperor Qi Ming and left the palace.
As he turned away, the kindness on Xiao Junhao's face vanished instantly, replaced by an intense gloom.
He feared that he would not even be able to attend the Emperor's birthday feast this time.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Upon hearing the news, the Empress rushed over, her eyes filled with concern for Emperor Qi Ming.
Seeing the concern in the Empress's eyes, Emperor Qi Ming grabbed her hand, "Empress, don't worry, I'm fine."
