The sound of the Dengwen Drum echoed. Gao Demao felt a chill in his heart, not knowing what significant event was about to unfold. Hearing the Emperor call for him, he hurriedly entered with his dusting whisk: "This old servant is here! Your Majesty, your command!"
"What is going on?! The Dengwen Drum sounded again?!"
From the Emperor's raised voice, it was clear how furious he was.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! This old servant has already sent someone to inquire. There should be a response soon! Please, Your Majesty, do not worry. This old servant will wait outside, and I will report back as soon as there is any news!" Gao Demao knelt and repeatedly tried to appease the Emperor.
Watching Gao Demao jog out, the Emperor clenched his teeth, his face turning ashen. He couldn't help but harbor resentment towards Bai Qingyan once again. If it weren't for Bai Qingyan, how could the Dengwen Drum be struck again!
