Two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female. The two did not speak, but gave the impression that they were competing. He, the prefect and host, was caught in the middle and did not know what to say to ease the atmosphere.
Fortunately, Mo Qin rescued him. At this moment, Mo Qin arrived in a hurry with a group of people. Upon entering the main hall, he first bowed to Zhao Shu and said, "Princess, I am late and have failed to provide adequate protection. Please punish me, Princess."
