Chapter 919 Misunderstanding

The wind outside the window was strong, breaking a branch. The guards outside the hall didn't feel anything unusual, having become accustomed to the strong winds this year.

The Emperor sensed that Eunuch Liu hardly dared to breathe, his brow furrowed, "How long do you plan to hold your breath?"

Eunuch Liu breathed carefully, "Emperor, you have been standing for quite a while, why not take a rest?"

The Emperor remained standing, eyes still on the window, "You think I'm getting old too?"

This time, Eunuch Liu wasn't just sweating; every hair was standing on end. He raised his hand to slap his own mouth, "This slave misspoke, this slave is at fault."

The Emperor was merely expressing his feelings. Today, with the Crown Prince not around, he could reveal some of his inner thoughts. The Emperor was human too; he tired, although he didn't feel this way when he was younger. The court had been more complex back in the day.
