The night messenger stationed at the main tower's entrance saw his Khan emerging and hurried forward.
Yet seeing his Khan clad in a simple robe, with a solemn expression, he seemed to have disturbed his peaceful sleep, bringing with him annoyance.
Considering this, Yelang couldn't help but feel a tightening in his chest, yet he dared not delay his report.
The Khan held the princess consort in such high regard, emphatically stressing that if there were any news regarding her, it must be reported immediately.
That's why he had entered the palace gates in the dead of night.
Yelang knelt respectfully and bent his arm in a salute, saying, "Greetings, Khan."
Yelu Yan regarded him with a faint voice and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yelang stood up, approached, and spoke in a low voice, "Reporting to the Khan, the new Emperor of Houliang dispatched men to infiltrate the Prince's Mansion at night, but they were repelled by the Houtang troops."
Yelu Yan responded with a light "Hmm."
