At this moment, Prime Minister Wang was feeling utterly uncomfortable.
The unexpected defeat of the Heroic Guard Camp had dealt a heavy blow to his reputation. Not to mention, Emperor Taikang was so overcome with fury over the defeat that he passed away in agitation. The charge of angering the Emperor to death was one he couldn't bear, no matter how powerful he was.
Emperor Taikang fell into a coma for a night, and during that entire night, the Prime Minister stayed by the Dragon Couch, watching Emperor Taikang gasp his last breath. It was yet another heavy blow to him.
Emperor Taikang was weak and mediocre, and held great respect for him as Prime Minister. Their relationship was also quite deep. How could he not feel heartbroken and sad over the death of Emperor Taikang?
Empress Dowager Zheng seized the opportunity to attack, Duke An added insult to injury, exacerbating the situation.
