Chapter 214: Empress Dowager

Zhao Wang Lei stared at the scroll in Eunuch Wang's hands for a long time.  His blank face didn't give away what was going on inside his mind or heart or that was something that he thought.

Because one person in the banquet hall had already seen the emotions he was trying so hard to hide and now that person was extremely curious about this scroll that had an Imperial seal but shocked the Emperor himself to this state.

"Read it aloud."

Xi Ying heard the Emperor's voice and with interest-filled eyes he watched as Eunuch Wang turned to look towards everyone.

As the old Eunuch opened the scroll, Xi Ying wondered just why would not the Emperor first want to read it and then show it to anyone else.

After all, if the scroll had something that was not liked by him then as the Emperor he could easily divert the topic. In the end, the Eunuch, the seal, the Imperial Palace everything belonged to him.
