"Escort, escort!"

The top floor suddenly became chaotic, but Emperor Xuanwu remained calm.

"Why are you panicking?"

His attitude calmed the others down, and several princes also reacted and gathered around Emperor Xuanwu.

"Father, are you okay?"

Regardless of whether it was true or false, they all had worried expressions on their faces at this moment.

Emperor Xuanwu swept his eyes across their faces one by one, and finally spoke slowly,

"Your father has experienced countless assassination attempts."

"That's nothing!"

"Long live my father! Long live my father!"

The second prince Yuanrui spoke first.

Yuan Ce followed closely behind.

"Father is the true emperor, so naturally nothing will happen to him."

Then the eldest prince Yuanlin and several other princes also spoke.

Emperor Xuanwu looked at them for a while and then slowly looked away.

There were indeed assassins, but the Imperial Guards and the capital's guards were no pushovers either.

Except for the first arrow, no other arrow posed any danger to Emperor Xuanwu.

He pushed away Yan Mingjue who was blocking his way and continued to stand by the window.

Su Qingwan and the others on this floor also heard about the incident, but in the end there was no chaos. There were just fewer people gathering at the windows.

But Yan's mother didn't. She even wished there were fewer people so that it wouldn't be so crowded.

Hearing that the emperor had almost gotten into trouble, she subconsciously looked up, and at that moment Emperor Xuanwu was also looking down.

Their eyes met immediately, and they both saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

Yan Mingjue had been guarding Emperor Xuanwu's side. Seeing his expression suddenly change, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Emperor Xuanwu's gaze, but only saw his mother, whose face also showed shock and surprise.

A ridiculous thought flashed through his mind.

Emperor Xuanwu suddenly grabbed his hand, looking somewhat excited.

"Who is that person?"

Yan Mingjue: "..."

After a moment of silence, when Emperor Xuanwu looked at him impatiently, he pursed his lips and said,

"That is my mother."

Upon hearing Yan Mingjue's words, Emperor Xuanwu stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning.

Yan Mingjue did not say anything either. He was no less surprised than Emperor Xuanwu.

When he was a child, he always thought that person was his father and that person was really good to him.

Until later, his background was exposed, and the man had no choice but to give up on him.

For all these years, he never thought about looking for his biological father.

Whenever Yan's mother was unhappy, she would curse him and his biological father with the most vicious words.

He didn't want to know what kind of person his biological father was.

But, by some strange coincidence, he seemed to know it now.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Mingjue said calmly,

"Your Majesty, please go in first."

"The assassin has not been caught yet, so he will be in danger."

At this time, Yan Mingjue had returned to his usual calm state.

Emperor Xuanwu just kept looking at him without saying anything.

He was thinking about how he looked when he first met Yan Mingjue.

At that time, I just thought Yan Mingjue was good-looking, smart, and resourceful.

The reason why he truly values ​​the other person is because he is sincere to Su Qingwan.

He had not done something at the beginning, but now that he saw others had done it, he always had to be a little soft-hearted.

After Yan Mingjue became his right-hand man, he admired him even more.

Later, he learned about Yan Mingjue's life experience, and he was still wondering how cruel his biological father was to abandon him and his mother.

Turns out, he might be that guy!
