"A humble commoner pays respects to the Emperor, may the Emperor be blessed with eternal fortune and health."
Inside the room, Steward Lin knelt on the ground to greet Yan Xiu: "This humble commoner knows that the Emperor didn't want his identity exposed, which is why I didn't greet you immediately. I hope the Emperor won't hold my disrespect against me."
Steward Lin spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Yan Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the person kneeling on the ground: "Stand up, are you the steward here?"
"Yes, my surname is Lin." As Steward Lin spoke, he got up from the ground. His demeanor was respectful, but he showed no sign of fear.
This made Yan Xiu take a few more glances at Steward Lin.
"You may withdraw." Yan Xiu said, walking towards the bed.
Xue Yin instinctively wanted to block Yan Xiu, but Steward Lin grabbed her arm.
Steward Lin shook his head at Xue Yin, and the two of them left the room.
