Shortly, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps was heard.
Everyone turned towards the sound, only to see Gu Xi with his full head of white hair, walking in slowly and resolutely.
"Grand Tutor!"
Liu Hong reacted with great swiftness. Before Gu Xi could even speak, he immediately rose from his seat.
With a face full of smiles, he quickly stepped forward, carefully supporting Gu Xi, and said with a tone of concern,
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, Grand Tutor, and now I see you are in good health."
"This heart of mine is finally at ease."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Xi's expression was calm, his tone as serene as water, as he let Liu Hong assist him to a chair that had been prepared in advance.
As for the others, they had long lowered their heads, not daring to look at Gu Xi.
Especially those eunuchs, even their bodies started to tremble.
There was no way around it; Gu Xi's deterrence was too strong.
They feared Gu Xi would directly target them.
