Inside Taihe Hall.
The Emperor and Marquis Jibei were discussing border issues.
The more they talked, the more uneasy the Emperor felt.
Because the matters mentioned by Marquis Jibei were all unknown to the Emperor.
Even though he had been bedridden these days, these military reports should have been brought to his attention.
"Why weren't these messages delivered to the palace?" the Emperor asked Eunuch Fu.
Eunuch Fu, "...."
The Emperor.
Please don't look at this servant.
I've been following you every day without missing a step, I'm unaware of these matters.
Could it be that Duke Chong has kept it hidden?
It surely must be!
He is indeed bold; these matters aren't something he can hide at will.
However, managing to keep it concealed, making the Emperor trust Marquis Dongxiang a bit less, isn't impossible.
Eunuch Fu speculated in his heart.
Then ——
He realized he was still too naive.
Things were not as he had imagined at all.
