Song Lianhe had been on edge ever since she left Kunyi Palace.
Although the Empress hadn't pressed her further, she had a nagging feeling that things weren't that simple.
A palace attendant had just escorted her to East Yang Gate when someone hurried up from behind.
"Lianhe!"
"Father?"
Song Lianhe hadn't expected to run into Song Xingfeng here. He was dressed in his official robes, likely having just left the morning court session.
"So you still remember you have a father?!"
Song Xingfeng was so furious he raised his hand to slap her. Seeing this, the palace attendant behind Song Lianhe frantically intervened. "Oh, my! General, please calm yourself! Please, General, calm down!"
Only then did Song Xingfeng recognize the attendant as someone from the Empress's Kunyi Palace. He gritted his teeth and reluctantly lowered his hand.
