Third person POV

He couldn't blame Xu Tingfeng, Xu Tingfeng didn't found her body, it wasn't weird if he announced his baby daughter was dead. He tried to think how to bring down this general of his. And by looking how the gnarl acted, it seemed like he hasn't know the culprit yet. The emperor was relieved, he sighed and looked at Hong er again.

Emperor: ” Can you take off your mask?”

Hong er lowered her head and said.

Hong er: ” I can't, Your Majesty.”

The emperor immediately became angry, the vein in his forehead were going to pop. ' This family is too much! How dare they disrespect me!'

Emperor: ” Impudent!”

The hall became silent, the ministers didn't dare to breath loudly. The emperor glared at Hong er but Hong er didn't flich nor scared.

Hong er: ” Please ease your anger, Your Majesty. I have a reason for this.”

Emperor: ” Speak!”

Hong er: ” I had vowed to the God of Light Sheng Jie to not show my face to the public before I marry. The only men that can see my face are my family, Your Majesty.”

The emperor was speechless. He clenched his fist under his sleeve, he can't just force her to break her vow because he wants to see her face. And he couldn't offend this general of his. The emperor could only wave his hand, Xu Tingfeng and Hong er went back to their seat. The Da Chu Crown prince, Long Shangu, stood up and lifted up the his wine cup.

Long Shangu: ” Let's start the festival, shall we?”
