The Arrival of Summer

Yuan Hongdao furrowed his brows as he listened to the prime minister speak softly: "I’ve been working in the government for so long that I don’t have a clue as to how many people I’ve offended. Out of my two sons and one daughter, I had expected Gong’er to make something of himself, but after such an unprecedented tragedy, I only have Dabao and Chen’er left… I have to at least arrange something for them."

Yuan Hongdao frowned, "It’s just that the sudden turn of events is quite radical."

Lin Ruofu’s gaze softened all of a sudden. "As a father, we need not overly exert ourselves. Right now, the emperor is in his prime, so by the time the fight to be crown prince occurs, we will have been long dead. There’s nothing to be worried about."

He continued with a question. "Has it been confirmed that it was the doing of somebody using the Sigu sword style?"

Yuan Hongdao nodded. "Yes."
