Chapter 804 Unusual Thoughts (3)
It was not the hour for court meetings when the National Master entered the Imperial Palace, and the emperor immediately guessed his purpose. Remembering the National Master’s firm opposition to the peace talks, his eyebrows furrowed at once.
Alhatu’s expression also changed slightly.
"Lady Lin rarely visits our North Country; Alhatu, why don’t you show her around our Imperial Palace? Oh, and take her to your mother’s palace. Perhaps she might make a friend of Qiqige." The emperor’s hesitation was momentary before he resumed his hearty demeanor.
"As Your Majesty commands." Alhatu, having achieved his wish, could not stop smiling.
The emperor’s suggestion held no interest for Lin Ziyin. As a science student, she had little interest in ancient architecture. However, given her current status as a captive, it was not her place to voice any opinions.
"Thank you." Lin Ziyin thanked him perfunctorily before she and Alhatu walked out.
Just outside the study, they ran into the somber-faced National Master.
"National Master." Alhatu greeted first with a smile.
Though the two belonged to different factions and Alhatu was the second prince of North Country, the National Master held an especially high stature in North Country. Even someone like Alhatu could not afford to act dismissive in the National Master’s presence.
