Song Lianhe sized up the imposing, magnificent man before her, clad in golden armor. 'Cao Jin?'
Cao Jin, Cao Ying's older brother.
Rumor had it he was the greatest master in the Imperial City. The Emperor held him in high regard and had praised him in public on more than one occasion, saying he was a rare talent who reminded the Emperor of his younger self.
That was why, at such a young age, he was already in command of the imperial guard, which answered directly to the Emperor.
For Emperor Cheng Xiao to have given him such an important position—a position for a trusted confidant, one might say—showed just how much he valued him.
Without another word, Cao Jin shoved his sister in front of her. "She is at the County Princess's disposal."
"Brother..."
"Shut up."
Cao Jin gave her a cold look. "Do you have any idea what you've done? You've dragged the entire Cao Family to the brink of utter ruin!"
