The tears of Queen Zhilan blurred her eyes in an instant. "Nancy, go and spend some time with your brother. I need to talk to your father."
Nancy nodded and followed Xia Rou out of the room.
After the others had walked far away, Queen Zhilan turned to her husband, "Randy, you must promise me one thing."
"Say it, no matter what it is, I will promise you!"
"Now that Nancy has returned, and you've proven she's your biological daughter... in the line of succession to the throne, you must place Nancy ahead of Kai Di's child."
"...Fine, I promise you." Emperor Randy hesitated for a moment but eventually gave his agreement.
Queen Zhilan pressed her pink lips lightly, "I know asking you to do this puts you in a difficult spot. For generations, the throne of Haotian has always favored boys over girls..."
Emperor Randy shook his head quickly, "It's not difficult. I've owed so much to the children already. This is something I owe her."
