Zhao Zhang Wei's Confession

Sitting in the Imperial Court, Zhao Zhang Wei looked at the Minister of Revenue who was standing with his head bowed in the center of the huge hall. 

The ministers looked confused as they looked at the minister of revenue and then at the Emperor unaware as to why the Emperor suddenly told him to come and stand. 

"Minister Zhou, Zhen saw a recent letter sent by you at Empress' palace. Minister Zhou is very worried for Zhen."

Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes were sharp as he said those words while his lips had a gentle smile. 

Xi Ying watched this scene with somewhat interest-filled eyes. He wondered what exactly Minister Zhou did to irk Zhao Zhang Wei. 

On the other hand, Minister Zhou frowned in confusion with his head lowered. He had just given a suggestion to the Empress. 

Since he couldn't see the Emperor's face he didn't know if the Emperor was angry or whether he was really praising him for his thoughtfulness.
