As soon as the clerk said those words,
everyone in the hall changed expression.
"My lord..."
Uncle Qi's face was filled with uncertainty. "The remnants of Prince Jiang... actually dared..."
He could not finish his sentence.
Zeng Anmin looked toward his father.
Yet Zeng Shilin's expression did not change in the slightest. He remained as steady as an old dog.
He even unhurriedly took Huzi from Concubine Lin's arms, picked up a pastry from the table, and fed it to Huzi.
"I know."
The entire hall fell silent for a moment.
Everyone looked toward Father, their eyes full of bewilderment.
Zeng Shilin did not even raise his head. He continued playing with Huzi in his arms and said with a faint shake of his head,
"Just wait."
After saying that, he continued feeding Huzi the pastry and spoke no more.
Hmm??
Zeng Anmin frowned slightly. Judging from Father's reaction... he did not seem surprised?
Then another hurried set of footsteps sounded outside.
"My lord, Two Rivers Prefecture Governor Qi Xiande has rebelled and opened the city gates!! The Rebel Army has already entered the city!!"
The clerk who entered the room dropped to his knees and kowtowed, trembling all over.
In an instant, everyone panicked.
Only Zeng Anmin's body jolted as he looked at Father with shock in his eyes.
"Mm."
Feeling Zeng Anmin's horrified gaze, Father's lips curved upward slightly.
Only then did he slowly set Huzi on the ground, take his cloak from the chair, and walk calmly toward the hall entrance.
"Let's go. Prince Jiang's rebellion ends here."
With that, he walked out alone.
Uncle Qi hurriedly followed behind Father, looking outside with a respectful expression.
"This..."
Zeng Anmin's expression shifted uncertainly as he looked up at Concubine Lin.
"Trust Master."
Concubine Lin merely smiled
