In the study of Prince Han's Mansion, Xiao Jin and Lai Qian were chirping incessantly, reporting the news they had gathered to Zhao Yao.
Xiao Jin and the others had been away from the Swamp Prefecture for quite some time. During this period, they had heard a lot in the capital city.
After listening to Xiao Jin and the others, Zhao Yao's expression was unreadable.
Noticing Zhao Yao's displeasure, Xiao Jin tilted its little head and asked concernedly, "Yao Yao, what's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"
Zhao Yao reached out to stroke Xiao Jin's little head and said gently, "I'm fine. I just didn't expect the situation in the capital to be so complex." The current state of the capital was expected, but he hadn't anticipated being manipulated.
Lai Qian nuzzled Zhao Yao's face, "Yao Yao, you're not in the capital, don't be afraid!"
Xiao Jin said, "I will protect you!"
Zhao Yao smiled and said, "With you protecting me, I'll definitely be fine."
