The Six Ministers were naturally overjoyed, while Chen Zhuo and the other officials looked grave.
Standing at the forefront, Lv Huaiyu and Zhuang Jingming kept their eyes lowered in silence.
As the boisterous atmosphere gradually calmed, Emperor Wu Lie spoke, "Today's court session is merely to put your minds at ease. I am well aware of the state of my health, and I fear my days are numbered... cough, cough, in these tumultuous times, until the Crown Prince can shoulder the responsibilities alone, the affairs of the court will still trouble the Empress."
"..."
The faces of the Six Ministers turned red as if their throats had been clutched.
At that moment, Emperor Wu Lie seemed to recall something and said, "Speaking of this, I have heard that a newcomer has risen in court, achieving remarkable feats, unmatched in fame. It seems to be the Thousand Households of the Sky Scale Guard, named... Chen Mo?"
