章節 1509: 20.73 First Black Star - Meng Ruyi (1)

Somewhere in the Imperial Palace...

A few officials and ministers could not go home on time due to an endless pile of work. They all gathered, unable to go home on time, and had to stay in the palace to continue their work as the human emperor himself; he never did any work as the ruler of the capital. It's embarrassing to hear him indulging in his desires instead of working to solve the problems of their territory.

The old officials and ministers were all haggard and almost looked sickly, with the dark undersides of their eyes. They'd even lost a lot of weight, making them look ill. The other young officials weren't that experienced and longed to faint from fatigue.

In a room with a huge table full of scrolls and paper. Several old ministers and officials can barely keep their eyes awake; even so, they can't stop working. The moment they stop will be when the kingdom will be stagnant and more problems will pile up, making it harder to solve.
