99 Only Hope She Is Keeping Safe

Capital City.

Zijin Palace.

Piled up on the emperor's desk were statutes submitted by the officials.

However, Yuwen Xiu would not even look at them.

He didn't need to read them to know what they were about. They must be about impeaching the Imperial Advisor and things regarding Jiang Li and Lu Fan.

The carved wooden door of Zijin Palace was pushed open. The creaking of the door brought some life to the quiet and empty palace.

The old eunuch entered in a hurry, waving his fly-whisk incessantly.

Yuwen Xiu, sitting on the dragon throne, glanced at the old eunuch. He pressed a finger to his lips, as if signaling him to keep quiet.

"Don't scare our black dragon."

The old eunuch was surprised, so he started to walk on tiptoes right away.

"Do you already know who stole the nine decrees that we wrote?" Yuwen Xiu asked.

He sounded cold, cold enough to kill someone.
