A Wise Decision

The next morning, Huo Jin reached the uphill where Sheng Li had told him to meet him. He went to the grave of Hu Jingguo and ended up seeing Sheng Li there. He had some chrysanthemum flowers in his hand. Sheng Li put them over the grave and stroked his hand over the soil beneath which Hu Jingguo was lying.

"Lili is pregnant with twins. I will bring the twins when they grow up. I will tell them how their uncle used to annoy me. I will tell them how brave you were!" Sheng Li said with a smile.

Sheng Li stood up and bowed before the grave. As he turned, he saw Huo Jin, who was staring at him. To his surprise, even Huo Jin had a chrysanthemum flower in his hand. "Greetings to Your Majesty," Huo Jin said and bowed.

He lifted his head when Sheng Li told him to pay his respects to Hu Jingguo. Huo Jin hummed and did so. "His Majesty has a special place for you in his heart. You must be a great person," Huo Jin said and tilted his head to look at Sheng Li.
