In the Imperial Study.
The Emperor was reading a memorial.
After just a glance, he tossed the memorial to the ground.
The memorial was an impeachment against the Marquis Dongxiang for not attending morning court.
Su Jin had been missing for three days, so the Marquis Dongxiang hadn't attended court for three days.
Normally, the Emperor might not empathize, but now the Eldest Prince had been assassinated, poisoned, and was missing, making the Emperor's heart burn with anxiety, unable to focus on the memorials.
The Marquis Dongxiang not wishing to attend court was understandable.
These officials at the Imperial Censorate were standing and talking without feeling any real concern; how could the Emperor not be angry?
"There's still no news of the Eldest Prince?!" the Emperor said angrily.
"Still... still none," Eunuch Fu replied tremblingly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Eldest Prince will certainly be alright."
