The Emperor's words rather surprised the Empress Dowager. She had not been the least bit aware about this.
But when those same words fell into Jun Wu Xie's ears, it was immediately clear to her that those people who had come to seek the Emperor out must have been people from one of the palaces among the Twelve Palaces!
"Imperial Grandmother! They told your grandson, if your grandson does not follow their orders to continue seeking out whatever is on the map, they will kill your grandson! Your grandson really doesn't dare to hand the human skin map over. They will really kill me!" The Emperor was shaking like a leaf, his face filled with terror.
The Empress Dowager's eyebrow lifted and she turned to look at Jun Xie.
However, Jun Wu Xie told her: "That map, I cannot do without."
