「After the morning court session.」
「In the Imperial Study.」
Zhao Huan still looked as ancient as ever, his body slightly hunched as he bent over his desk, reviewing memorials.
From time to time, he would summon ministers to question them.
He was as diligent in his rule as he had been in his youth.
But his fatigue was becoming more and more apparent.
When it was time for lunch, he ate in the Imperial Study, as was his custom.
Two simple stir-fried dishes and a small bowl of white rice—a characteristically frugal meal.
When he was halfway through his meal, Eunuch Li hurried over. However, he didn't dare disturb Zhao Huan's meal and simply stood quietly to the side.
Only after Zhao Huan finished eating at his own unhurried pace did Eunuch Li quickly present him with a warm, damp towel.
Then, he spoke in a low voice, "Your Majesty, word has come from the Imperial Clan Court. We've found the movements of those Demon Sect villains!"
"Oh?"
