Li Ang's mind was in disarray as he followed the yellow-robed eunuch to the back of Liangyi Hall.
Behind the hall, the Emperor and Empress, now completely sober, were present. Also standing there were the Mountain Master, the Prince, the Crown Prince, a group of highly influential ministers, and even Cheng Juxiu, who stood by a long table, smiling at him.
When did Senior Brother Cheng return to Chang'an?
Li Ang felt a sudden relief. Seeing Cheng Juxiu so happy suggested that there probably wasn't a problem.
"I, Li Ang, pay my respects..."
He had just begun to speak and was about to bow when the Emperor interrupted him, "Alright, dispense with the formalities."
Emperor Yu sized up Li Ang and said with a smile, "Is this invention your work?"
Hm?
A sense of foreboding rose in Li Ang's heart as he saw Emperor Yu pick up a silver, leaf-shaped clip from the table.
Forceps?
Li Ang instantly understood why Cheng Juxiu was present in Liangyi Hall and nodded helplessly, "Yes."
