章節 104: Scars on his back

After the Court Session ended, Xianwu headed out to the administration center, where he met Yujin. It was Xianwu's first time resuming the work after becoming the Crown Prince. 

"I wanted to talk regarding an important matter with you," Yujin stated as he stopped Xianwu at an isolated region. "I hope you don't mind if I talk as I used to before," he asserted. 

"I won't mind," Xianwu said. "So, what do you want to speak about with me?" he inquired. 

"Do you know that the Grand Empress Dowager has called Mother when you were not here?" Yujin asked. 

Xianwu shook his head. "Did it happen the day I was outside the capital?" 

"Yes. After our lunch meal together, Mother suddenly got an invitation from the Grand Empress Dowager. She even offered me and Zhongshu a bigger ranked position. Mother was quite angry when the next day these official robes came for me," Yujin explained to him while gazing at his clothes.
