Chapter 1185: Meeting

At the very least, those corrupt officials at court, due to Chu Heng's presence, would probably not dare to embezzle so recklessly.

Emperor Xuanming was best at maintaining a balance, and there would certainly be corrupt officials, but as long as there was a deterrent force, governance would be much better.

Emperor Xuanming narrowed his eyes, looking more and more satisfied with Chu Heng, "Minister Chu, rise. Your words are reasonable; I shall keep this memorial."

"Presumably, Lord Chu has not seen Madam for a long time and misses her dearly. These past few days, I have found the small onions grown by Madam to be quite delicious."

"Summon someone to take Lord Chu to see Madam."

Chu Heng had not expected this unexpected favor; after first kneeling to thank the Emperor, he turned and left the Imperial Study. At the doorway, he saw Duke Zheng and Minister Qi waiting to see Emperor Xuanming.

Chu Heng raised his hand in greeting and then turned to leave.
