"Alright." Grandpa Xu looked at the little girl and said, "Grandma, please."
The little girl glanced at the towering palace walls. "Please come in, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
After Eunuch Xu left with the little girl, the gatekeeper ordered his men to tie up the big man.
The big man struggled for a moment, then calmed down after being kicked twice.
As the Emperor grew old, he would go back to Consort Zhang's quarters to rest for a while after the morning court session.
During this period, Steward Qi will not need to be by his side to serve him.
Steward Qi is not young anymore, so he will take this opportunity to rest.
When Steward Qi arrived at the resting place, he saw his godson holding a rotten food box and leading a little girl standing in the room.

"Um."
"You want to use that 100,000 taels of silver to buy the lives of your whole family?"
