Chapter 077 Treasure

Sang Yan had no choice but to accompany him.

The two of them visited Sang Kun at the Sang Mansion together.

Sang Kun had gone to Wuzhou to exterminate locusts, a truly exhausting endeavor. He had tanned quite a bit and, compounded with injuries, he looked haggard, and his meticulously groomed beard had also become dry and withered.

He lay on the sickbed and, upon seeing the approaching Emperor, struggled to get out of bed to show his respects.

"No need. My subject, you are injured. Please stay in bed."

He Ying's voice was gentle, his demeanor compassionate.

Sang Kun was moved to tears, "Thank you for your Imperial Grace. However, I am unworthy of it, Your Majesty."

He knew he was at fault and explained, "But I never intended to default on the payment to the merchants. It was just that I delegated the financial matters to my son who, due to his wife's incident, had to leave in haste, hence the delay in the settlements."

So, Sang Jue's departure was also a reason.
