Li Zhuo, who was sitting upstairs, saw Xu Yan's expression and snorted coldly, "What's wrong, Master Xu? Why did you close the confession again? Are you afraid to read it?"
"That's right. After all, this involves a duke and two marquises. It's normal for you to be so nervous!"
What!?
Now, not only Xu Yan's face turned pale, many people also looked terrified.
They knew that the people involved must be of high status, but they never dreamed that there was a duke among them!
He is a duke, second only to the prince in the aristocratic system.

Doing so will be beneficial to the stability of Da Qi, but I wonder if Lu Chen will feel aggrieved?
Li Zhuo was also worried that Lu Chen might be dissatisfied, so he pondered for a moment before saying, "There's another matter we need to discuss today. Master Lu has made great contributions to the country and society during this period, and I've decided to give him a title!"
