She hadn't figured out how to answer that yet.
Xuanyuan Yonglin burst out laughing.
"Your Majesty the Empress, since this is about power and not about love, then what methods are off-limits?"
"As long as you get it, isn't that enough?"
With that, Xuanyuan Yonglin bowed to Su Yan once more.
"Or you could also consider taking me as your husband."
After speaking, Xuanyuan Yonglin took his leave.
"This subject takes his leave."
The First Brave Warrior left together with him.
Su Yan stood there, and was just about to walk off.
But when she turned her head, she saw Situ Xiu standing at the end of the gravel path.
She fell silent for a moment.
Then she turned her head to look back behind her.
Xuanyuan Yonglin and that warrior had already left.
She had no idea how long Situ Xiu had been standing there.
Not until Situ Xiu walked over and bowed to Su Yan.
"This subject pays respects to Your Majesty the Empress."
His hands were clasped just so, every movement by the book.
