Chapter 8: Wow! The Prince Consort wiped out his entire family! (2 / 2)
The old Emperor sat in the Wuying Hall, his usual office for the inner court, but for the first time, he wasn’t immersed in official business. From time to time, he looked up at the palace door, making the head eunuch wonder.
Who is His Majesty waiting for?
A eunuch hurried in to announce: “Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and the other Ministers are here to see you.”
The old Emperor nodded and waited for two or three breaths. When there was no further announcement, he turned to look at the eunuch, who seemed confused and helplessly glanced toward the head eunuch. The head eunuch, too, was puzzled.
The curtain in the corner fluttered slightly, and the old Emperor calmly asked, “Anyone else?”
The eunuch suddenly understood and quickly replied, “Xu Yanmiao, the official of the Ministry of Personnel, is also waiting outside.”
The old Emperor nodded. “Let them in.”
The eunuch took a deep breath and called out, “Announce—”
Soon, the ministers entered the hall.
