Hearing Huo Yan's words, Emperor Xuan was silent for a moment before he continued,
"Being in this position, I naturally have many reasons to do so."
He looked at Huo Yan, his voice low,
"Today I am the emperor, tomorrow I will be the crown prince. Do you know?"
Huo Yan lowered his eyes and replied softly, "I understand."
Emperor Xuan looked at him with scrutiny.
"Can she be the only one to do this?"
"able."
"Can you treat her children as your own?"
"able."
"I'm old now, and I don't want her to be too far away from me."
"Princess, if you wish to live in the Imperial Palace, the Princess's Residence, or the Huo Family, I have no objection."
Emperor Xuan chuckled and said finally,

"I believe I have done my best to serve Dacheng and the Huo family."

The whole hall was silent, so silent that Yuan Zhao could only hear the sound of the wind outside.
She clenched her fists, her fingertips turning faintly white.
But she knew that Emperor Xuan was doing it for her own good.
She heard her own heartbeat, and then Huo Yan's words hit her heart word by word.
"Your Majesty, the late Empress, the entire Huo family, and my late father and late mother serve as witnesses:
I am willing to use my life as a betrothal gift. From now on, whatever Showa wishes for is what I wish for.
I, your servant, will never disobey you."
