Chapter 895 - 892: Outstanding Achievement
Murong Yan had more distinct and sharp features than Murong Yu, with a more rugged contour, exuding a strong masculine aura beneath his handsome appearance.
Especially those eyes, calm and profound, impenetrable in revealing emotions, emanating an imposing deterrent that made him appear tall and deep, preventing anyone from daring to approach, unlike Murong Yu, whose eyes always wore a gentle smile, naturally drawing people close.
Empress Yan called out to Murong Yan like Emperor Yan used to, "A Yan, come to your sister-in-law’s side..."
As soon as she spoke, Empress Yan’s nostrils flared, and tears involuntarily streamed down, the excruciating pain in her heart struck again, gripping tightly onto the silk beneath her, barely resisting the urge to faint.
Murong Yan responded by walking to her side, kneeling on one knee, remembering the image of a young girl when he first met her years ago. Now, she had silver in her hair, and looked utterly haggard, croaking, "Sister-in-law."
Since his brother’s passing, Murong Yan swallowed his grief and used forceful measures to suppress the noble families of Wei Kingdom seeking to foment chaos, but whenever idle, he couldn’t shake his sorrow, finding it hard to sleep.
Later, upon receiving a letter from Bai Qingyan, his insomnia eased slightly.
Today he came to see Empress Yan, having tidied himself up beforehand to avoid saddening Empress Ji once more, yet the deep red veins in his eyes betrayed Murong Yan’s burning agony within.
"These years abroad have made you suffer..." Empress Yan’s voice was extremely gentle; she wanted to reach out and touch Murong Yan’s hair like her husband used to but found her arm too weak to lift. She smiled hard at Murong Yan, "I know your brother must have passed the throne to you, His Majesty told me before, and I nodded in agreement."
