Suddenly, warmth engulfed Pei Hengyu from behind. He was inexplicably pulled into a tight embrace, and his mind went completely blank.
Just as he opened his mouth to scold the intruder, he felt a tickle at his ear. Yuwen Junan’s voice murmured softly against his skin, "I can take on cases for Your Majesty. I fear nothing, and I am at your command! Political foundations, becoming a target for everyone—I, Yuwen Junan, care for none of it. My heart belongs only to Your Majesty!"
The confession came so abruptly that Pei Hengyu couldn't even process it. The boy, seemingly lost in his own devotion, pressed on, "Anyone you don't wish to act against, I will spare for your sake. Those who hold high positions yet refuse to obey your commands—I will investigate them to the end and seize this opportunity to purge them from the Capital! I am willing to be your blade. Whoever you wish to keep, I will not harm a hair on their head; whoever you wish to destroy, I will never show mercy."
