Gu Chengyu waited for a while, but the Emperor didn't call him to stand.
He knew the Emperor was still angry about the morning court affairs, so he didn't dare make any moves.
Gu Chengyu bowed his head, waiting for the Emperor to call him up. After all, if he wanted to punish him by kneeling, there was no need to summon him to the Imperial Study Room.
He waited for a while longer, and Gu Chengyu's knees started to go numb.
It seems the Emperor is quite angry! He wants to punish him physically, to give him a stern warning.
He pondered in his mind, thinking about how to face the Emperor's wrath later.
De'an noticed the Emperor was resting with closed eyes and was also shocked in his heart by the Emperor's indifference to Gu Chengyu's salute.
About a quarter of an hour passed, and Gu Chengyu suddenly felt something was wrong.
Is the Emperor testing his patience? Is he really going to punish him by kneeling in the Imperial Study Room?
