Chapter 46: The Grudge of the Shattered Jade_3

Eunuch Fang knew he could not escape the punishment of the wooden plank, so he uttered a few more words to demonstrate his loyalty.

Li Sangruo's thoughts were adrift, growing impatient.

"The punishment can wait, you stand guard outside for now. Without my command, no one is permitted near Jiafu Hall..."

Eunuch Fang breathed a slight sigh of relief, "This servant understands."

He exchanged a glance with Song Shou'an and silently withdrew.

The doors of the hall closed, emitting a dull thud.

Li Sangruo sat on the soft couch, watching the young man dressed in the Great General's uniform but with a face full of apprehension, and with half-closed eyelids, she slowly beckoned him over, "Come here."

Song Shou'an hesitated for a moment, then moved silently toward the Empress Dowager, "Your Highness..."

He was very afraid; the Empress Dowager's single sentence could lead to Eunuch Fang receiving twenty hard strikes, while another could annihilate his entire family.
