Jianhong's expression was exceedingly grim.
His voice was piercingly cold as he cast a glance at the eunuch beside him. "Summon Lou Yingqi to the hall!"
His tone carried a bone-chilling frost that brewed a suffocating atmosphere, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Not daring to delay, the young eunuch jogged out of the hall.
The matter at hand was of grave importance. It was so severe that even the Profound Array Department could not bear the consequences. No matter how formidable Celestial Master Xu was, he wouldn't risk universal condemnation to shield his disciple.
Inside the grand hall, the suffocating silence lingered. Everyone stood in place, waiting quietly as time ticked by.
Finally, under the young eunuch's guidance, Lou Yingqi slowly appeared in the imperial court.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." The moment he entered, Lou Yingqi bowed respectfully to Jianhong.
