Although the Grand Dowager was just jesting with Fourth Master Xiao, now with the unexpected arrival of the Imperial Decree, she couldn't help but feel worried.
"The army has just entered the city, why has the Imperial Decree come at this time?" She stood up, showing a trace of unease as she looked towards Fourth Master Xiao: "Is it about something else?"
Xiqiu also seemed a bit nervous: "Fourth Master!" As she looked at Fourth Master Xiao, she was genuinely concerned about the Emperor's attitude towards Xiao Yancheng. If the Emperor decided to pursue Xiao Yancheng's crimes, it could implicate the entire clan in punishment. But if not, Xiao Yancheng was merely a Xiao descendant left out in the wild, and having been threatened by Gu Worms like Xu Wei all these years, it would be understandable not to pursue it.
In reality, how the crime would be judged depended on the Emperor's will.
How could she not be worried?
