Meng Yunzheng nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I am certain, Your Majesty."
"Good, then I will grant you this request," the Emperor raised his voice, unable to suppress a couple of coughs.
Listening to this voice, Meng Yunzheng felt that indeed the Emperor could endure for a while longer.
In his heart he pondered, yet on the surface, he respectfully and gratefully knelt down to thank him for the grace.
Once the matters were discussed, what followed in the early morning court was unrelated to him, so Meng Yunzheng withdrew from the great hall.
After waiting for a moment in a side hall, the signal to dismiss the court came. The Emperor truly could not bear it; today's early court had gone on a bit long, and it was already not easy for him to hold out until now.
Ministers began to trickle out, discussing as they went the content of the court, with most talk centering around Meng Yunzheng.
