The Emperor shook his head, "Shuren guessed wrong."
Zhou Shuren forced a laugh, "For my wife?"
The Emperor gave him a look that said he was very clever, "Shuren's love for his wife is deep, and I am truly touched. To prevent Shuren from dying of grief, I have brought four people; Shuren may choose two of them."
Zhou Shuren, "Aren't they all for me?"
The Emperor let out a cold laugh, "You certainly don't stand on ceremony."
Zhou Shuren truly coveted the Emperor's men, they could be put to use without having to secretly guard against them and they would ensure the safety of his home. The Emperor had indeed been very generous, "This subject thanks the Emperor on behalf of his wife for the grace."
So, don't ask to see his wife. She has injured her foot.
