"Qilin?"
Emperor Liang was greatly shocked. "Sir, do you mean—"
Mr. Zimu softly replied, "Your Majesty has two Imperial Grandsons, but there is only one Qilin, and it resides in the Crown Prince Mansion."
Emperor Liang furrowed his brows and asked, "Sir believes that Yuan'er is the Guardian Qilin?"
Mr. Zimu met Emperor Liang's sharp gaze and calmly said, "It's not what this humble one believes, but heaven's will dictates so."
That was clearly inconsistent with the State Preceptor's prophecy.
Emperor Liang withdrew his gaze and turned toward the lush, green branches outside the window. "Though I have long admired your renowned reputation, Qi'er was brought back to the Imperial City by the State Preceptor. Your opinion rather contradicts his, which puts me in a quandary."
