Chapter 183 - Pear Blossoms Bloom (Part Six)
Xu Jin no longer dared to pick up the documents from the floor. He scrambled to the side, wanting to distance himself from that audacious woman. Like a fish gasping for air, his mouth was agape as he glanced up at the Emperor, whose face was dark as the bottom of a pot. He slid his gaze over to Wang Lihua, who was calmly gathering the scattered documents as if nothing had happened.
Wang Lihua gathered all the documents from the dance area, organized them in her hands, and extended them toward Xu Jin. "Here," she said.
Xu Jin didn’t dare to receive the documents from her. He simply stared dumbfounded at the woman before him.
Seeing Xu Jin’s frightened expression, Wang Lihua sighed, placed the organized documents on his table, and walked straight toward the exit of the hall without looking back.
As Wang Lihua reached the hall’s entrance and was about to step out, a loud voice called out behind her.
"Stop!"
With a calm expression, Wang Lihua turned back and looked at Chen Kaiming, who sat atop the dais.
Chen Kaiming’s hair and beard bristled, like the mane of an enraged lion. He glared at Wang Lihua, his voice laced with fury as he shouted, "Wang Lihua, do you really think I won't have you executed?!"
Wang Lihua’s face remained calm, unfazed by the Emperor’s threat.
"In such a vast empire, is there anyone that a tyrant like you won't kill?"
It was that word again.
