Chongzhou, Prince Chong's Mansion.
Prince Chong, Chu Yan, was standing under the rockery, gazing into the distance, while to his left, Gongsun Yan, wearing light armor, stood with his hands at his sides, waiting attentively.
On Chu Yan's right was a man in a stone-blue brocade robe, the former Prefect of Yuzhou, Liang Song, who was also Liang Xue's father.
Having been rendered a powerless figure, he returned to West River and was employed by Chu Yan as the Chief Clerk of the Prince's Mansion.
Behind Chu Yan, a man dressed as a servant reported the latest situation from the outside world, hands cupped and bowing forward.
After listening, Chu Yan snorted coldly, with a displeased expression, saying, "Lately, this Duke An is really enjoying a smooth ride, isn't he?"
"I never expected that this Yue Ruyan, being of imperial lineage from the Nanyue Kingdom and a Divine Power Realm Martial Artist, would become a concubine of that Chen Thief," Gongsun Yan remarked.
