Sun Doudou saw Sun Kui return and quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Master, you're back."
Sun Kui nodded slightly, then looked at Prince Dai and Minister Kong, who had already walked away, and asked Sun Doudou, "What happened? Why do Prince Dai and Minister Kong look so grim?"
Sun Doudou shook his head and said, "I'm not sure."
Earlier when Prince Dai and Minister Kong were in the Imperial Study, Sun Doudou was standing guard at the door and didn't hear what they were talking about inside.
"Master, as soon as you left, Minister Kong came to request an audience, and not long after, Prince Dai arrived."
Sun Kui more or less guessed what was going on, "I'll go in and serve, you keep watch at the door."
"Yes, Master."
Sun Kui walked quietly into the Imperial Study, bowed to the Emperor, and then said, "Lady Zhaoyi asked me to thank you on her behalf."
The Emperor acknowledged with a sound and said nothing further.
