章節 365: Chapter 354: Pleasing the Daughter-in-law? The Empress Beats the Emperor Behind Closed Doors

"Yes, this servant will go do it now."

Eunuch Li followed the order, and as the Emperor thought it over, he felt it wasn't sufficient and called him back, "Also bestow the South Sea Night Pearl on Lady Shen."

The Emperor continued to pace in the Imperial Study Room, sighing, "What a mess! The Empress will not let this go once she learns of it, knowing her temper."

The mere thought of the Empress gave the Emperor a headache.

He suddenly stopped walking and ordered, "When the Empress returns, tell her that I am ill."

The young eunuch nodded respectfully: "This servant shall obey."
