Feng Shou felt an even deeper sense of helplessness.
He truly wanted to run to the Imperial Mausoleum and pour out his grievances to the late Emperor: My dear, it's not that I don't want to support your son, but he is simply too headstrong, I can't help him!
Yet, Feng Shou still cherished the late Emperor's appreciation and their bond forged in seizing the world together.
Knowing full well that his efforts to dissuade would attract the Emperor's displeasure, or even resentment, Feng Shou still forced himself to enter the palace.
