His mother transformed into a demon and departed within the Jiaofang Palace, and it was also within this Jiaofang Palace that he was repeatedly tested in his true form, leaving him covered in cuts and wounds.
Memories hidden in the darkness surge forth.
The palace gate seemed to be twisting, turning into a gaping maw, emanating a ferocious, bloody stench.
It's a mage again!
He lowered his brow slightly and said calmly, "Since it is for the sake of Father Emperor, your subject has no objection."
The two entered one after the other, and all the busy palace maids and eunuchs knelt down to pay their respects.
The shouts startled the people who were speaking inside the hall.
Yun Xiaoran looked shy and excited.

"Mother, since it is to pray for Father's well-being, we family members can go. Princess Xiaoran, please stay here."
