Yan Huan sighed in resignation but followed them at once.
He was under the Holy Emperor's orders to keep an eye on Cao Jin. If something were to happen to Cao Jin, the position of Commander of the imperial guard would undoubtedly be his.
Cao Jin took the tray from Xuan Mei's hands, paused, and looked at its contents. "The Princess Consort is very thoughtful."
"The Princess Consort appreciates your hard work guarding the Prince Mansion."
"My thanks to the Princess Consort."
Yan Huan immediately stepped forward. "What a coincidence. I was in such a hurry when I came that I haven't eaten yet. You don't mind, do you, Commander Cao?"
Cao Jin merely glanced at him and said nothing.
After taking the tray, Yan Huan inspected it meticulously. He only relaxed after confirming there was nothing suspicious.
The pastries on the plate were exquisitely made and looked very tempting. His traitorous stomach actually started to rumble.
