Chapter 385: Crown Prince Digs a Grave

The next day, at the early court assembly.

Emperor Kaihuang noticed Shen Erxian standing below at a glance.

"Oh, isn't that Shen Erxian, the Magistrate of Metropolitan Prefecture, grievously injured? How come? You came to the court despite such severe injuries; that must be tough!"

Shen Erxian couldn't understand, Shen Wei was also feigning illness, yet Emperor Kaihuang didn't concern himself with that, while he was truly injured!

Shen Erxian immediately stepped forward to reply, "Your servant was bedridden with serious injuries, unconscious. Upon hearing someone conveying Your Majesty's command, instructing your servant to work both injured and well, I, hearing how much Your Majesty values me, felt my injuries heal by sixty percent instantly! It's many times more miraculous than the Rune Words Spirit."

Emperor Kaihuang just silently watched Shen Erxian's performance, too lazy to expose him.
