Her heart was pounding, her mind was a blank.
She hurriedly tugged at the black dress that had creased from sitting too long, and brushed aside the strands of hair that had fallen over her forehead.
Flustered, she said, "Oh oh, I'll... I'll be right there."
Her mind was in chaos, completely at a loss for what to do.
Nervously, she approached the door, her palms shaking as she opened it.
But outside stood only an elderly member of the Imperial Family with a seemingly playful smile.
He smiled and said, "Sorry, I spilled the beans."
"A letter from Jiang Fan has arrived."
The Old Dream Demon Emperor's tense body suddenly relaxed as she leaned against the doorframe, full of embarrassment and annoyance:
"Clan Elder, don't joke about Jiang Fan in the future!"
Her heart was still racing wildly at the moment.
Her palms were sweaty.
Only heaven knew how scared she had been just now.
"You've been too tired lately, just playing a joke to lighten your mood."
Lighten up?
