Lord Su looked at the talisman in his hand again, only to find that all the writing on it had disappeared.
Was that... the Emperor's true feelings?
The official standing next to Lord Su rubbed his eyes in disbelief at the incredible scene.
The words are missing?
Thinking back to the Emperor's reaction just now.
Could this talisman be real?
The Grand Commandant saw the regretful expressions on the faces of the officials standing beside Lord Su.
He spoke urgently, "Your Majesty, I just remembered that my son exchanged a thousand taels for that talisman, and I need to take it back to him."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, how can you allow the talisman on the ground to defile your hands? Please return it to me." Lord Sheng stood beside Lord Su, seeing everything clearly.

"Your Majesty, that bastard almost stripped my daughter of her clothes!"
"Your Majesty, I must report that the Marquis of Zhenbei has failed in his duty to educate his son. His nine-year-old child's mind is filled with lewd thoughts!"
"emperor,……"
