The Emperor nodded in strong agreement. He also believed that Shao He was a rare talent, even more skilled than the group at the Northern Imperial Medical Institution in the field of medicine.
Prince Li was rendered speechless, unable to find words to retort.
Old Madam Chu and Liang Weishuang, seeing the situation turning unfavorable, hastily pleaded tearfully at the side, "In Marquis Pingnan's Mansion, we only have this sole descendant left. We seek nothing else but hope that this child can acknowledge his ancestors and return to his lineage, so we do not end up with a terminated lineage!"
Liang Weishuang even knelt on the ground with a look of grievance and said, "If this child could be sent back to Marquis Pingnan's Mansion, I would treat him as my own son, willing to accept any punishment should there be a slightest misstep."
Their tearful pleading caused the Emperor a considerable headache, while a flicker of shrewdness passed through the Empress's eyes.
