Zhaoming Hall.
The Supreme Emperor was reviewing memorials when Eunuch Fu rushed into the main hall, panting heavily. His hunched posture and the strange way he was carrying something behind his back made both emperors frown simultaneously.
Zong Zhengxi asked, "Fu Luhai, what are you carrying on your back?"
Eunuch Fu sighed and replied, "Your servant is carrying a pot, a pot sent by the Old Matriarch."
With that, he took out a rod tucked at his waist and offered it with both hands, "A weapon—the Old Matriarch beat up Princely Heir Xun."
The Supreme Emperor: "…"
Zong Zhengxi: "…"
Prime Minister Xun had just left court when he heard that his son had been beaten into looking like the God of Longevity. He hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xun Yu lay on the bed, looking completely disfigured, his swollen forehead nearly squeezing his eyes shut.
If he weren't his own son, Prime Minister Xun would've kicked him out on the spot.
