Xia Miaoyuan answered yes and ran back happily. When he ran to Sun Hanlin's side, he deliberately kicked off his shoes and stopped.

Nanny Li had no choice but to pick up the shoes and squat down to help her put them on.

At the same time, Xia Miaoyuan pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

Sun Hanlin whispered to the two civil servants, "This eulogy is absolutely true. It was written by Cao Hanlin."

The two civil servants both had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"You don't know! There's a hidden story here. Cao Hanlin had no choice but to do this."

"A while ago, Hanlin Cao somehow offended the Emperor, and the Emperor ordered him to stop being so verbose in his speech and writing."

One of the civil servants interrupted and said, "Cao Hanlin is indeed too long-winded. It's understandable that the emperor asked him to change."

Sun Hanlin's eyebrows danced with joy as he continued, "There's nothing wrong with changing your habit of being long-winded. It's just that our emperor's methods are too extreme."

The two civil servants asked in unison: "What method?"

"The Emperor has specially sent his trusted aides to closely monitor Cao Hanlin. Day and night, twelve hours a day, they are not allowed to leave Cao Hanlin even for a single step."

"Everything Cao Hanlin says and writes must be supervised by them. If the word count exceeds, he will be fined."

The two civil servants were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

Sun Hanlin raised his eyebrows and continued, "Do you know? Since being supervised, Cao Hanlin has been punished hundreds of times."

One of the civil servants asked, "Hundreds of times? How much silver would that cost?"
