C9 The Fate of Destiny

My heart skipped a beat, Ninth Madame's family is actually the overlord of Mongolia, a person who holds a high position?

I lowered my head and did not dare to say anything.

A string of footsteps entered the hall. I lowered my head even lower. I couldn't wait for everyone to pretend that I didn't see them.

Sitting on that square stool, I felt very uncomfortable, like I was sitting on pins and needles. I listened to the Emperor's polite words with these people.

Each sentence was like the words in a book, and there was nothing new about it.

However, the sound of sweat was like a bell. Every time he spoke, you had no choice but to listen.

I secretly peeked at the people of His Highness. They were all dressed in the clothing of the Mongols. The one in the middle wore a deep blue robe, and a beautiful totem pattern was embroidered on his belt. He wore soft leather boots and a conical hat on his head. His might was not lacking, and his powerful gaze was enough to shock all his enemies.

I don't know why, but he reminded me of the name of the enemy. This place, on top of this palace, has a murderous atmosphere that makes people uncertain.

Finally, they exchanged pleasantries. It's over, the etiquette that should have been done has passed. Ninth Madame suddenly pulled my hand. "Come, Yun Qier. Come and meet our sweat. Come and meet my elder brother."

Caught off guard, I have never thought of meeting her family. I am only here to draw for the Empress, am I not?

But in front of everyone, I have nowhere to hide, so I can only follow her up and listen to her introduction one by one. I pay my respects and bow, like a wooden puppet without a trace of anger. I don't even want to remember every single stranger. I don't think I will have any interactions with them in this life, right?

The Mongols don't really care about the etiquette in the Central Plains, so the last person Ninth Madame introduced to me was that Great Khan called Tu Erdan.

I bowed, as if I was paying my respects to other people. I did not have any special words or gestures, but I could feel a sharp gaze shooting towards me from within the bow, causing me to feel a wave of fear.

"Raise your head." I heard the foreign man's dignified voice.

Slowly raising his head, to tell the truth, I'm not afraid of him. It's just that I don't want to attract attention. I'm just a little Miss Seventeen of the Prime Minister's residence.

"I've seen you sweat a lot." I gave a slight bow.

He was once Ninth Madame's sweat. It turned out that Ninth Madame's entire family lived in his tribe. Ninth Madame's elder brother was a brave general under Tu Erdan's sweat tent. That was why he entered the capital with Da Han. That was why they met this time.

He looked up at him. He was half a head taller than others even when he sat. He was truly not an ordinary tall and powerful person. There was no fear in my eyes. I don't know martial arts. However, I'm not afraid of the person in the sword and saber. I don't know him and I don't know him. Why would I be afraid?

I thought it was just a bow, but I've seen him before. So, he left. He didn't answer my question. Instead, he sat behind the sandalwood tea table and stared at me. I stood in the middle of the hall. My legs were a little numb. I looked back at him, waiting for his amnesty.

He continued to look at my face silently, as if he was admiring a flower. A touch of gentleness suddenly appeared in his eyes, but it didn't disappear. It made my eyes red and my heart beat faster. There are so many people in this hall. How can he be so rude?

I coughed lightly and bowed once more, "Yun Qier has seen sweat before."

He suddenly came back to his senses. "Come over and sit with me."

I was shocked. If I sat beside him, wouldn't I be violated by him?
