The Emperor is truly open-minded.
But they feel the Emperor is too optimistic.
It was clear that Marquis Dongxiang intended to continue beating him, and it was only the timely report about the Prince Zhenbei Mansion by the little eunuch that interrupted him.
Marquis Dongxiang wouldn't come to the Chaohua Palace just to punch the Emperor, would he?
If he didn't vent enough this time, he might continue next time, rendering this punch the Emperor received in vain.
Eunuch Fu believes he understands Marquis Dongxiang quite well.
However, who knows when the Emperor's face will recover from swelling; he can't just stay in the Chaohua Palace indefinitely.
Once Marquis Dongxiang left the Chaohua Palace, he headed straight back to Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Tang approached and asked, "Did you speak to the Emperor?"
"Not yet," replied Marquis Dongxiang.
Mrs. Tang sighed, "It's just as well not to speak of it; mixing celebrations and mourning brings bad luck."
