Ji Fengyan stood before the huge palace gates as the General of the Wolf Smoke Regiment. Shortly after a guard transmitted news of her arrival, the Emperor agreed to meet with her. She then followed a palace servant into the grounds.
The face of the servant leading Ji Fengyan into the palace was wreathed in smiles. He was polite and respectful and didn't forget to sing some praises of her.
Ji Fengyan just maintained a bland smile, while a million thoughts swirled in her mind.
In her eyes, the magnificent palace was a pit full of conspiracies.
Ji Ru and Ye Yuan must have known something. That's why they had advised her to leave.
But…
Ji Fengyan would be an ungrateful wrench if she really left just like that.
Even though Ji Ru said he could protect the Ji family, but… Ji Fengyan knew that if she were to leave immediately after just arriving at the capital city, the Emperor would instantly understand what happened. By then, the Ji family would not be able to redeem themselves.
