In the living room.
Leng Xiaoye motioned to her assistant with hand gestures before turning to face Huangfu Jue, her gaze lingering for a moment on the door of the room where Gan Yuan and Gan Tang were sleeping.
"Let's talk in the study!"
Her voice had barely faded when there was another round of hurried footsteps outside the door, and Will arrived at the doorway, panting.
"Mr. Duke..." seeing Leng Xiaoye, he hesitated, then immediately stopped in his tracks, "Your Highness the Queen, good morning! I... I have some urgent matters I need to tell the Duke."
Leng Xiaoye spoke in a deep voice, "Let's talk in the study!"
She was wearing a robe, clearly just having been roused from bed by the noise, and her voice was still a bit husky, but already clear and authoritative.
Will didn't dare to speak again. He respectfully stepped aside, waiting for Leng Xiaoye to pass by before he dared to look at Huangfu Jue, urgency apparent in his eyes.
