"As long as you haven't deceived the Emperor, Young Master, no one can touch you given your status," Eunuch Liu said in a low voice.
The Emperor wanted to deal with Pei Shaoqing, and he certainly didn't mind helping his sovereign with this burden. But there was a prerequisite.
Pei Shaoqing's crime had to be real.
