"Since you have done so much, Zhen will reimburse you and give you reward. Zhen will not wrong a good person and will give you the reward you deserved."
"Many thanks for your generosity, Your Majesty." Imperial Doctor Si cupped his fist.
Emperor Yang Zhou waved his hand and gave a few more orders before dismissing the court. With such incident, who was in the mood to talk about the other affairs of the nation? It would be better for them to hurry and headed to the north border and taught some lesson to those people from Fan Yi Kingdom.
The court dismissed.
These officials walked out of the main hall, still feeling apprehensive.
"I didn't expect that those people from Fan Yi Kingdom could be so courageous that they sent an assassin among the entourage who comes."
"I really thought that they could see Fei Yang Kingdom's greatness, so they come here. But it seemed that I was thinking too much."
"They wouldn't be convinced so easily."
"It's thanks for Imperial Doctor Si today."
"Yes, I'm thankful that Imperial Doctor Si come today to check on His Majesty's health or he wouldn't be here."
The officials were talking with each other as they walked out. Their voices were relatively low, but it was clear that everyone was discussing this matter. They were glad that Emperor Yang Zhou was someone who prioritized his health and there will be an Imperial Doctor who came from time to time to the Imperial Palace to check on him.
Without him, they wouldn't be able to subdue the assassin fast enough before he reached His Majesty.
After all, there was still a distance between the Emperor and the other officials. Not to mention, many of them were frozen in fear when they saw such a scene with their own eyes.
At the back, Shangguan Yu's face was somewhat dark. He responded to the few greetings of the officials before asking the servant to push him towards the Red District. After the incident during Emperor Yang Zhou's inauguration time, he hadn't visited the Red District in a long time.
The people there recognized Shangguan Yu instantly and the manager smiled. "Your Highness, are you looking for Miss Mi?"
"Yes, bring her to me." Shangguan Yu looked at the woman in charge calmly.
"Alright, I'll call her."
Shangguan Yu was brought to a private room and before long, Shangguan Mi walked inside while being half pushed. Her clothes were messy and it was clear that she was told to clean up as fast as possible before she was allowed to enter.
She raised her head and saw Shangguan Yu there. Her body froze in fear as she could remember the scene where she almost died just because he suddenly appeared here.
Gritting her teeth, Shangguan Mi asked, "What do you want, Shangguan Yu?"
"To be calling the name of a royal family members so impudently, do you know the punishment, Shangguan Mi?" Shangguan Yu asked back.
Shangguan Mi then recalled the fact that Shangguan Yu was not only the head of Shangguan Family in the Capital City but also the prince of Fei Yang Kingdom. The Imperial Family's position was absolute, no one would dare to defy them because of the punishment they would be imposed should the matter be brought up.
The question seemed to have poured a cold basin on Shangguan Mi's head. ƒreewebɳovel.com
