Chapter 81: Solicitation

"Ah, the Emperor also asked that this be specifically handed to you." The Eunuch continued presenting a book to Lei Xing. She took it and looked it over, it was another copy of "The Art of War"

The Eunuch continued, "This is from His majesty's personal collection. He said to tell you that this one is a better version and will be more to your liking and that if you need any books in the future, you should inform him or if you ever feel bored and would like to browse a collection, the royal study has the best collection of books in the country and you are more than welcome to peruse through at any time."

Lei Xing slightly knit her brows and glanced at her desk where she was reading last night and noticed the copy she had was not there.

{...Don't tell me that was what he was retur- It's none of my business...}

Lei Xing walked over to one of the bookshelves and flipped through the books.
