Emperor Su chuckled, "It's not a big deal, everyone get up."
With his words, the crowd finally rose and returned to their places.
However, Emperor Su also realized that State Uncle-in-law Li Zhi had indeed been increasingly inappropriate lately, so he instructed, "Minister Li, you're quite irritable today. You must be too tired, why not go back and have a good rest. Xiao Zhouzi, escort Minister Li back."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Zhou nodded in response.
The meaning behind Emperor Su's words was truly to protect Ji Ruyan and slap Lord State Uncle Li Zhi in the face.
What is too tired and needs rest?
This is just formal talk; it also means to send Lord State Uncle Li Zhi away from this palace feast.
When had State Uncle-in-law Li Zhi ever been treated like this? He naturally saw Ji Ruyan as a thorn in his side! If looks could kill, Ji Ruyan would probably be pierced like a sieve by the daggers in Li Zhi's eyes.
