"Well, let me start with my maternal grandfather," Ji Ruyan began, "he was the Protectorate General of the Sky Poison Country. Now in his sixtieth year, he faced treachery in his middle age, resulting in the death of his wife and children at the hands of others. The only surviving daughter became The Emperor's Imperial Concubine. Upon hearing this news, Consort Bing took her son, who had just been born for three days, to The Emperor's palace. Kneeling, she begged to send the child to the Protectorate General Mansion to be raised, volunteering to pray for the nation and willing to accept confinement within the deep palace."
As Ji Ruyan spoke slowly, Qianyue felt a jolt in her heart. She hadn't expected that the man with the black and white visage had experienced so much.
Hearing his story, Qianyue felt that her master being betrayed was not such a big deal after all.
Seeing Ji Ruyan pause, Qianyue asked, "What happened after that?"
