When Helian Jue arrived, the late emperor had already passed away.
Helian Jue probably won't have a chance to get the so-called "inner defense" position.
Cui Wulang spoke vaguely, as if he had truly "heard it from someone else."
Prime Minister Cui, however, was shrewd and experienced, and immediately saw through Cui Wulang's problem.
He suddenly stood up, took a few steps to his youngest son, and grabbed his right wrist.
Suddenly, he rolled up his sleeve, revealing his smooth arms.
