"Yes! This servant will go at once!" Li Shengan hurriedly retreated.
"Come back!" Zhao Junyao called out to him again.
"Your Majesty?" Li Shengan hastily turned back.
"If word of this matter gets out, I will hold you accountable," Zhao Junyao warned, neither too lightly nor too heavily.
Li Shengan's heart thundered with fear. "Yes! This servant understands!"
"This servant takes his leave!"
When he left, Li Shengan wiped the sweat from his forehead! He realized that he was increasingly unable to fathom the Emperor's thoughts.
The crime of deceiving the Emperor could still be willingly overlooked by His Majesty; it seemed that Lady Xia was indeed no ordinary person!
With this thought, Li Shengan quickly summoned his apprentice.
"Lady Xia has been unwell lately. Go to the Imperial Kitchen, pass the word, and instruct them to take good care of her. Remember, this matter must be kept secret!"
