Chapter 044: Physiognomy

Sang Yan was speaking with Feng Ji.

She had learned from the guards around her that he was an Imperial Censor and, seeing him kneeling under the sun at such an old age with a readiness to die for his country, her heart went out to him.

"Please get up."

"It's such a hot day, if you pass out from the heat, your body won't be able to take it."

"You keep saying you're loyal to the Emperor and love your country, but if something happens, it's the Emperor who will be blamed. Do you want people to call him a foolish or tyrannical ruler?"

After advising him for a few moments, she had someone prepare mung bean soup.

As the ministers were leaving the court, they saw her offering the mung bean soup to Feng Ji.

"Putting on airs!"

"Such pretense!"

They came over and forcibly helped Feng Ji to his feet.

Feng Ji was still shouting, "Emperor, the heir is most important!"
