"You may leave now!"
Lao Ai suppressed his fear and waved the eunuch away.
After he left, Lao Ai's gaze fell on the middle-aged man sitting to his right. Seeing that he still looked calm and collected, he immediately became furious and said, "Now that things have come to this, don't you have anything to say?"
The middle-aged man, with a refined and scholarly air, held a feather fan in his hand and said with a faint smile, "The long-cherished dream of Marquis Changxin is about to come true, which is truly a cause for celebration."
"Oh?" Lao Ai's worries vanished instantly, and he looked eagerly at the middle-aged man in front of him. This man was named Ge You, his retainer. He was unparalleled in wisdom and was highly relied upon and trusted by Lao Ai.
Ge You fanned himself with a feather fan, his eyes gleaming, and said in a deep voice, "The Empress Dowager's imperial seal can be used by Marquis Changxin at will.

Ge You smiled broadly, stood up, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said loudly, "Lord Changxin, rest assured, I will handle this matter perfectly and guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
Lao Ai reached out and helped Ge You up, saying each word clearly, "If this great undertaking succeeds, Lao Ai will never forget your great contribution and will repay you with the position of Prime Minister."
