章節 401: 401: Shall I show you?

The emperor's gaze fell upon Sui and her 'mother', and his face instantly contorted with a mix of concern and confusion, a worry that was palpable in the air.

But Sui's eyes went toward her brother, who had a close-off expression. It was clear to her that her brother was not happy to see her.
