Chapter 683: The Affection of the Great Mother!
After Empress Zhao spoke, she sighed deeply, her brows knitting with worry for her nation and her people.
"Spreading rumors is easy, quashing them is hard," she lamented.
At that moment, all eyes naturally turned to Yun Xiao, awaiting his response.
With a composed expression, Yun Xiao nodded and continued from where the Empress Dowager left off. "Among the people, there are evildoers; these scoundrels ought to be disciplined."
"Like I said, a favored son of heaven such as Sir Lu could not possibly be involved with a Divine Heaven grade high criminal. Those wagging tongues also need to be silenced," Empress Zhao remarked, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction as she watched Yun Xiao.
Afterwards, Yun Xiao took his seat to enjoy some dance and music, savoring the divine peaches and fine wine, before excusing himself on the pretext of needing to meditate.
As the celestial ladies bid him farewell, there was a hint of reluctance in their goodbye.
Descending from the Western Kunlun Palace, Yun Xiao’s expression grew cold.
"Has Sovereign Lu conspired with the White Emperor to eliminate you?" Yue Yin inquired.
