She was a little bewildered that moment.

After a long while, Zhong Qing raised her hand, gently touched Yan Yan"s head, and said, “What happened?”

Yan Yan became much gooey with Zhong Qing after he heard her soft voice and knowing the comfort that she gave him making him feel safer every time he was with her.

He said with a low voice, “The palace and people, I"m afraid of them. I feel like they"re not true to me. It"s threatening me."

Zhong Qing felt the agony of Yan Yan.

She looked down at Yan Yan, sighed, and thought: “Pity this little kid. A 10-year-old boy will be under so much pressure.”

She released him from their embrace and put out her hands on his shoulders and said "Don"t be afraid because Sister Peony will accompany you and never leave you, ok?"

Yan Yan gently made a “hmm” a sound.

Meanwhile in the palace, there were a lot of opinions and thoughts about the returning of w.a.n.g De to the Corelle Palace.

In fact, Emperor Hinode was also curious about what Yan Yan thought about coming back to the Corelle Palace, but his mind was also thinking about the Empress after she had a breakdown after hearing the announcement.

hen w.a.n.g De returned to the Cornelle Palace, the Emperor wanted him to feel comfortable there. He wanted him to have a healthy food to be served by his maids every day and he also wanted him to have clothes the same as him. But still, his treatment will be completely equal to all of them to avoid any green eyes among the five princes.

Those eyes which was brought together like a swaddling beast to the prince, thinking that the mother of the five princes was a waste and was worthless, were not spoiled by the emperor.

It is no other than the Empress who completely hated the former Queen.

When the Emperor heard about the giving of a welcome gift by the Empress to w.a.n.g, he got an idea and believed that the Empress was not true to w.a.n.g.

Five years later.

Prince w.a.n.g was already 15 years old.

“Big brother, let’s go hunting some ground horse!”, said the handsome young boy wearing a white robe pointing at the old boy in front of him wearing the blue robe.

This teenager wearing a blue robe was the eldest son of the Emperor, Yen Tak, while the young boy who was wearing the white robe was the fourth prince of the Emperor, Yan Chen.

Although Prince Yen Tak was just seventeen years old, he looked a little bit more mature than his other brothers because of his very tall and strong structure. His eyebrow looked resolute and very brave.

Prince w.a.n.g immediately agreed to the proposal of Prince Yan Chen. He was apparently very excited because he didn"t want to always just stay in the palace. Hunting was his favorite thing to do.

Prince Yan Chen looked back and asked the other prince, “How about you, my brother?"

As soon as he finished eating, the young boy who was wearing a lavender robe, frowned.

The fifth prince, Yan Bi, was very unhappy to lift up his head and said, “Riding is such a rough activity. I am not willing to go.”

He was so unkind to speak yet the fourth prince was not annoyed.

After all, the fifth prince was spoiled to their mother. He also had a domineering temper like the Empress.

"And you, my brother. Please take a rest. You are sick. Going with us in hunting is not good. So, please just take a rest.", the fourth prince said to the second prince.

Yan Yan, sitting at the edge of the window, looked up and smiled softly.

That day, he wore a blue robe, with beautiful features such as a jade generally moist, so warm and shallow, as if the room was with a bright light.
