It turns out that the masked man who suddenly appeared, seemingly not an ordinary person with his imposing manner and incredible speed, actually knew Grandfather, and Grandfather seemed to trust him a lot. Moreover, he seemed to have a different kind of feeling towards An Xiaomian.
If An Xiaomian has such a strong supporter, and Grandfather also supports An Xiaomian, once they return after this incident, Grandfather will surely suspect him.
Moreover, he spoke too hastily just now and seemingly let something slip out. Before anyone else mentioned why An Xiaomian was there, he had already said that she was framed. These details and the Hidden Guards would surely report them to Grandfather.
Chen Yao suddenly felt like the sky was collapsing on him.
It's over, his dream of the throne was about to shatter!
He slumped to the ground in despair and agony, holding his head in pain.
...
An Xiaomian was in Shangguan Xiu's arms, and they quickly and safely exited the forest.
