Ah Jiu looked at Emperor Yan, his eyes filled with cold sharpness, disappointment, disgust, and hatred.
Never before had he been so disappointed with this person, this one who was both father and brother to him, and he never thought he would be filled with such loathing.
"Doubt?" Ah Jiu chuckled lightly, just about to speak when a little eunuch entered nervously to report that the Empress Dowager summoned Prince Jin.
Emperor Yan frowned and looked at Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu also took a breath and bowed slightly: "Does Your Majesty have any further instructions? If not, I should go and pay my respects to Royal Mother."
"Ah Jiu, do you truly wish to oppose me?" Emperor Yan said with a darkened face.
Ah Jiu replied, "I dare not." He cupped his hands and turned to leave.
How audacious!
