Emperor Zhiyue was a hunched old man.
But his spirit was exceptionally high, and he looked full of life.
With that kind of energy, Qi Suian suspected he could probably outlive the Crown Prince.
"I've heard about what happened at Lanlou Mansion. It was an accident."
Emperor Zhiyue spoke after the three of them arrived.
Whether out of confidence or sheer certainty, there was no one else in the study; just Emperor Zhiyue, reviewing official documents.
He was speaking to Yan Jingxing, not Qi Suian.
Now that they were here, it wouldn't be right not to offer some explanation.
"The Ghost People were an accident, too?" Yan Jingxing questioned.
This wasn't what he wanted to hear.
The Ghost People problem had never been solved.
If they were the result of some unforeseen mishap, Yan Jingxing would have had nothing to say.
But the fact that the Royal Family was involved was something he could not accept.
