Does this mean to realign allegiances?
The Crown Prince's mind wasn't tangled with complexities. Upon hearing the news about rewarding a good friend, his face lit up with excitement. "Where is Chen Mo? Quickly let him come in to receive his reward!"
Eunuch Jin looked at the Empress, and seeing her nod slightly, he declared sharply, "Summon Deputy Thousand Households Commander Chen Mo of Sky Scale Guard into the hall!"
Moments later, two golden-armored guards pushed open the hall door.
Sunlight streamed through the doorway, casting a tall shadow on the ground.
The ministers turned their heads to look, only to see beneath the dark embroidered black robe with scale patterns stood a figure tall and upright, with sharp brows, eyes like cold pools, exuding an air of maturity beyond his years.
A common thought arose in their minds:
What a handsome young man!
Chen Mo walked through the crowd, reaching the foot of the golden steps.
