Clang!
Just as Xie Yuan was in a daze, the palace gate was forcefully kicked open.
Leading the way were two young men in brocade robes, followed by a pair of eunuchs and palace maids.
"The Emperor has decreed that Helian Jue shall receive the decree!"
The fourth prince shouted arrogantly, then "kindly" reminded him, "Helian Jue, why aren't you kneeling down?!"
