"Are you telling me that Shen Qi took the young emperor out of the palace for a stroll?" Lu Yichuan asked in surprise late at night.
The butler nodded slightly. "Yes, the news just came in. It's said that Shen Qi bought the emperor a lot of toys and even took him to cockfights and the flower and bird market."
Lu Yichuan frowned upon hearing this, deep in thought for a moment before letting out a cold laugh. "A woman's heart is indeed venomous."
Shen Qi, what a clever scheme. The young emperor was only sixteen, the age when one naturally craves fun and excitement. By indulging him with games and diversions, Shen Qi was clearly trying to turn the emperor into a hedonist, gaining his trust while ruining him in the process. What a treacherous minister!
"So she thinks I'm out of options?" Lu Yichuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "Tomorrow, prepare Qingyao and Fuliu to accompany me into the palace."
