The Emperor was flustered and caused the military report to get soaked, making the writing blurry, and some parts were even ruined.
Honestly, if it weren't the Emperor who made such a blunder, the Empress Dowager would really have ordered someone to drag this clumsy person away and behead them.
You have Zhang Liang's clever plan, but others have a ladder to cross the wall.
The Empress Dowager's face turned green with anger, she held back her fury and asked, "Can the military report still be read clearly?"
The Emperor looked at it, vaguely able to make out some things, and if he combined what he could see with guessing, he could tell that Marquis Dongxiang had beaten someone.
Marquis Dongxiang beating someone?
That's the most normal thing!
The Emperor wasn't surprised at all.
If he went to the camp and behaved himself, the Emperor would find it strange.
Besides, Marquis Dongxiang beat Duke Chong's person. As long as they're still breathing, it's not a big deal.
