Chu Li laughed. "I shall not care about it now, I'll take a day at a time. Who knows? The emperor might summon me in seven days."

"By the sound of that, he'll keep going?" Xiao Qi furrowed her brows as she asked.

Xu Huande answered, "Even if someone were to plead, based on the emperor's temper, I'm afraid that he won't change his mind at least for half a year to a year!"

"Luckily it's only half a year to a year." Chu Li chuckled. "If he's never going to change his mind, I'll have to stay here forever."
