Earlier, when Emperor Wu Su awoke and learned that Ji Qingwu had married, he had flown into such a rage that he coughed up blood. The sight had truly stunned all of them.
Afterward, Li Yuzong, Lu Duan, and one other official withdrew from the hall. The three of them gathered together and reached a consensus on the matter of Ji Qingwu.
Emperor Wu Su's act of coughing up blood made them reflect. 'Have we not been doing enough as his subjects?'
'There is only one Emperor. If his health is ruined by anger, where would we ever find such an enlightened monarch again?'
And so, these few zealous officials put their heads together, wanting to share the Holy Emperor's burdens.
Therefore, the result of their discussion was that from now on, they would handle all matters concerning Fifth Miss Ji with the utmost diligence, as if they were the Emperor's own affairs.
The more smoothly things went for Ji Qingwu, the less Emperor Wu Su would have to worry.
Zhaoyang Hall. Utter silence.
