Xiao Chengqi couldn't be sure.
Consort Rong studied his expression and asked with concern, "What is it? Is something wrong?"
Xiao Chengqi snapped back to his senses, shaking his head with a smile. "It's nothing. I was just thinking that Qinyang has been in the Capital City for so long. It's truly a joyous occasion that she can finally reunite with King Yan Nan."
Consort Rong smiled. "Isn't it? King Yan Nan has only one daughter, and he dotes on her like a precious jewel. It's a good thing we won this time. If anything had happened to him, then Yue'er..."
The mere mention of the battle at Long City still made Consort Rong's heart pound with fear.
Xiao Chengqi nodded. "You're right, Mother. King Yan Nan has performed a great service. It's rare for him to return to the capital, so he should be able to stay for a while and spend some quality time with Qinyang."
Just then, a palace attendant came hurrying in from outside.
