Princes arrived at the imperial side hall one after another, but Ji Ru noticed that she was the only princess present; the other princesses had all claimed illness.
Ji Shang sat down with Ji Ru and said, "You see, I told you should have pretended to be sick too."
"They didn't come."
Suddenly, Emperor Donghua, radiating golden divine light, appeared above the Dragon Chair. Emperor Donghua never spoke directly and merely wrote a few strokes on the white paper before him.
Cao Zhong, the Sect Leader of the Wugen Sect, despite his incomplete body, commanded the hall with a powerful voice and imposing presence, "The Da Yan royal family always treasures time and spares no words for nonsense. You should all know the matter at hand."
"Now, His Majesty wishes to send a prince or princess to assist in the battle in the Death Realm. Who among you is willing?"
The princes looked around; none uttered a word, clearly understanding the current situation.
