Chapter 854: Testing (1)

The Emperor, upon hearing the news, showed displeasure: "As the Empress and mother of the nation, she ought to behave with dignity and gravity. Her every word and deed should set an example for the women of the world. How could she be so flustered and unstable as to actually fall and even injure her head? Truly disappointing to me!"

Zhu Zhong dared not talk back, bowing his head and arching his body as he awaited the Emperor's order. Emperor Jin Ming rambled on for a bit before saying, "Send for Court Judge Yao to see to her. When Third Brother comes back, if he sees his mother half dead, it will only upset him!"

Chief Zhu bowed and withdrew.
