The atmosphere in the warm pavilion of the Imperial Study was extremely oppressive, pressing down on Sun Kui and his disciple Sun Doudou, who stood at the door with cold sweat on their faces, not daring to breathe loudly for fear of punishment.
Since the former Crown Prince's family was killed, the Emperor's mood has been in a state of anger. In recent days, many ministers and eunuchs have been scolded, reprimanded, and severely punished by the Emperor. Even the favored Sun Kui has been berated.
The Emperor, his face as dark as water, sat on the kang, while Hidden Guard A stood trembling beside him, waiting for his orders.
Just as Hidden Guard A's back was soaked in cold sweat, the Emperor finally spoke: "Continue watching them."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
