Chapter 647: Turbulent Undercurrents

  "Greetings, Your Majesty," Prime Minister Zhou said as he kowtowed. 

 The Jin State's ruler, Emperor Zhao Heng, restrained the anger on his face and looked at Prime Minister Zhou with an ambiguous expression.

 "Prime Minister, why are you in such a hurry to enter the palace? What urgent matter do you have to tell me?"

 Prime Minister Zhou bowed deeply and appeared very humble.

 "I came to the palace today for two matters. Firstly, I am here to seek forgiveness from Your Majesty. Previously, the First Prince was trapped in the northern wilderness. I was afraid that Your Majesty would be worried so I didn't report it to Your Majesty immediately. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. Secondly, I want to beg Your Majesty to save the First Prince. The First Prince has been abducted by evil people and is in danger. I beseech Your Majesty to save him."
