Chapter 242: Call the Crown Prince over, I am going to beat him to death today!

Emperor Kaihuang was resting in his private chamber when a eunuch came to report.

"Your Majesty, Chief Li Moxian from the Town Martial Office requests an audience."

An older eunuch by the side glared at the incoming eunuch, who immediately lowered his head in fear.

"Why are you glaring at them? If a minister wishes to see Us for official business, can We neglect our duties to sleep a little longer?"

As he spoke, Emperor Kaihuang rose from his bed, grabbed a robe to drape over himself, and then waved the eunuch away.

"That lad, Li Moxian, would rather be eight hundred miles away from Us if he could. Let him in quickly."

Soon, Li Moxian, clad in a white robe with ink-wash paintings of mountains, water, and bamboo forests, entered.

"Greeting Emperor Kaihuang, long live, may the Emperor live forever..."

"Stop stop stop...," Emperor Kaihuang knew how much Li Moxian detested all these cumbersome formalities; otherwise, he wouldn't have always tried to avoid seeing him.
