ALL LIVING THINGS WILL DIE
Even when Wu Jingguo was still the Crown Prince of Wu Li, Wu Shun needed help from his son to do his daily work. When Wu Jinhai took over the position from Wu Jingguo, the eldest son also helped his father do his work in the Xinyang Imperial Palace. That kind of sight was normal, but today the Emperor had to do everything alone because his two sons were not in the palace.
He was the one who gave orders to the two young men yesterday, and that was the reason behind their absence from the palace yesterday. That was also the reason why Wu Shun looked busy while staring at the pile of reports on the table in front of him.
He was focusing his attention on those reports, but his attention was diverted when his eunuch announced the Empress Dowager's arrival in the building. Wu Shun didn't expect the old woman's arrival, but he also couldn't just ask her to leave, and that's why he immediately stood up from his seat before welcoming the old woman.
