Buried Too Deep

Pan Shuo's delicate face turned purple.""Actually, I think…I think General Yang is really not bad. Can the emperor consider my suggestion again? I'll... I told General Yang."

Emperor Yu Heng was amused when he heard that.

"What? Who do you think you are? Do I have to do as you suggest? You even privately agreed with Yang Shao that you were secretly buying and selling officials?!"

"No, no, no, no. I don't dare."Pan Shuo was getting more and more anxious as he scratched his ears and cheeks.

"I don't have any other thoughts. I just see that General Yang is a talent..."

"You can still tell that he's a talent. You're quite a talent too."

".. Thank you for your praise, emperor." Why did it not sound like a good word?

Pan Shuo didn't take it to heart. Instead, he was focused on explaining the private exchange, which made Wei Desheng laugh so hard that his intestines were almost cramped and a few inches shorter.
