"Yes, Princess and Tang Fei are close friends, concerned about Tang Fei's safety... so she went to see him," Yan Wenli said aloud, providing an explanation.
"So, you handed Tang Fei over to her? In front of so many people?"
"..."
Yan Wenli had no words to respond.
He could have refused, and he should have refused.
But when he was faced with Phoenix's angry expression and questioning eyes, he felt a guilty conscience as if he were a thief.
He did not know how to utter those words of refusal.
So, he handed Tang Fei over to Phoenix.
"You've put the Royal Family in a very passive position," Zhong Daolong adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, speaking with some dissatisfaction, "Children can act on impulse, but we, as their elders, cannot."
"It was mishandled on my part," Yan Wenli bowed as he apologized.
Zhong Daolong waved his hand, signaling Yan Wenli to sit down and speak.
