Half a month had passed since that incident, and Suxin had not been in touch with Arthur. It was the first time in two years that she had defied him like this. Similarly, Arthur had not reached out to Suxin. She knew that this time, he must have seriously crossed a line with his brother; in their family, Arthur was the emperor—no one dared to disobey his orders, not even the elders of the clan. Once Arthur made a decision, they could not change it.
Suxin had tried to visit the imprisoned White Wolf; she didn't know if Arthur had actually sought medical treatment for White Wolf or had killed him after turning his back. But every time she approached the cell, the guards stopped her, saying the young master had ordered that no one was allowed in. She knew that by 'no one', they meant particularly her, because no one else in the family cared about whether White Wolf lived or died.
