Alone, I sat through the night, waiting until a sound came from the rear, when a young eunuch reported with his head lowered.
"Your Majesty, King Lian requests an audience."
King Lian, this was the title of the Second Prince back then.
"Let him in." The new emperor did not turn back, but the twisted expression, the mad eyes disappeared instantly, returning to his usual calm demeanor.
The sound of King Lian's audience was transmitted far.
A moment later, King Lian appeared, and the new emperor turned around, with a complex look in his eyes.
It was as if he was looking at himself.
He didn't feel like he had won; he just felt like he was an even more pitiful wretch than this second brother.
"Second brother, there is something I need you to do."
"Minister brother will follow your decree." King Lian assumed a very low posture, not asking what needed to be done, because no matter what the matter, he had no right to refuse.
