Zhang Zhi looked troubled: "It's all my fault that I lack the ability to find the evidence."
"The news Minister Zhang brought back is already commendable, I am pleased. Tomorrow, as you mentioned, you can bring it up again during the early morning audience." Emperor Xuanming was not prepared to swallow his anger.
Zhang Zhi quickly bowed and nodded: "Yes, I will return today and make a more detailed report."
"Very good." Emperor Xuanming calmed his anger, maintaining a favorable attitude towards him, "Minister Zhang, return home early to heal your injuries. I won't detain you any longer."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will recover quickly so as not to delay my official duties." Zhang Zhi was keen to earn Emperor Xuanming's attention, naturally not missing the chance to shape himself as a diligent official.
Emperor Xuanming was even more pleased and awarded him medicinal herbs.
Zhang Zhi exited the Imperial Study.
