"Your Majesty." Chief Su entered from outside the door: "The First Prince has arrived."
The Emperor paused, holding the brush, and nodded slightly: "Let him in." He put down the brush and leaned back in the chair, looking toward the door.
Chief Su responded and thought about the Emperor's previous intentions. It was clear he planned to issue an edict, so why summon the First Prince now, unless?
He couldn't help but feel secretly pleased, suppressing the excitement in his heart. He opened the door and went out, looking at Min, who was wearing mourning clothes and appeared gentle and elegant. A smile crept from his eyes, and he made a gesture of invitation: "Your Highness, please."
Min nodded slightly toward him and was the first to step into Jiaotai Palace.
"This son pays respect to Father Emperor." Min clasped his fists in salute, lowering his eyes without looking around. Chief Su quietly withdrew and closed the palace doors, standing guard outside.
