Those who become emperors are indeed extraordinary people, but I'm not afraid.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Murong slept for a very long time. When he woke up, he saw Prince Anyang guarding his bedside!"
"Oh! Is that so, Ye'er!"
"Your Majesty, I found her in a mass grave. When I brought her back, she was covered in wounds!"
