"Hehe, did you forget again? When we're alone, you should still call me sister."

In doing so, a good thing would have turned into a bad thing.
Moreover, the message he wanted to convey to the Empress had already been made clear.
However, after the young Emperor returned and saw that Lin Yi had already arrived, his previously gloomy mood surprisingly lifted quite a bit.
