"Your Majesty, I am terrified!"
Shen Chong hurriedly knelt on the ground, his expression filled with fear. The Emperor's reaction was too overwhelming, making him anxious. Did I say something wrong?
But Qi Yun paid no attention to his plea for forgiveness, staring blankly at the man on the bed.
After a while, he cried out in pain, "It's me, I have wronged you!"
Shen Chong was dumbfounded, kneeling on the ground with his head bowed heavily. He wanted to look up to see the Emperor's expression but dared not.
"During these days, stay here and take good care of him. As for your family, with the few madams and concubines causing a fuss, you wouldn't want to be caught in the middle of it anyway."
Uh...
Shen Chong's old face flushed red.
His family's affairs were ultimately a scandal, but a scandal brought before the Emperor—what does it matter?
He responded dejectedly, "Your Majesty's orders, I will obey!"
