Bab 185: The Seventh Noble Clan
It wasn't particularly surprising when none of Liu Yao's beloved officials stepped out to claim credit for stirring up enough trouble that they've spent the entire morning court discussing it. He hadn't been harbouring high hopes either.
He shifted subtly on his throne—it wasn't a particularly comfortable sort of chair and if he didn't slouch in it, he wasn't able to recline against the backrest—before moving on to the next matter on his agenda. The Kaiming were already investigating the murders and the latest ploy against Ah Yun behind the scenes. There was something else Liu Yao had to achieve today.
"Beloved Subject Ren."
Right Prime Minister Ren, whose expression had been stiff since Liu Yao had launched his offensive, stepped forward and bowed. "This subject is present."
PERTIMBANGAN PENCIPTA 
Queeniecat
Queeniecat (1) Clay Bodhisattva crossing a river: a saying that meant one was incapable of saving oneself, let alone others.
(2) Running hand script (xingshu): Also known as a semi-cursive script, this style of calligraphy emerged during the Han Dynasty and is attributed famously to Wang Xizhi’s writing of ‘Preface of the Orchid Pavilion’, of which the only existing versions date back to the later Tang Dynasty and are copies of his work. Compared to the regular print script, it had a more free style that doesn’t require lifting and pressing of the brush and the entire character should be written in one stroke. However, unlike the fully cursive script, it retains more legibility and characters are still easily recognisable.
A/N: Thank you very much for reading and the gifts, power stones and comments! Could some of my dear readers who use the app to read please confirm for me whether there are any footnotes embedded into the text itself when reading on mobile devices? I usually write and post on the computer and didn’t realise that the app version doesn’t seem to incorporate the footnotes!
