Chapter 1100: Chapter 179: Admonition

County Duke Yu visited the imperial palace alone the next day.

Tomorrow would be the Double Ninth Festival. The Emperor had to prepare for heaven worship. Although this worship ceremony was not as grand as the First Moon’s initiatory offerings, there are no trivial matters in heaven worship, so preparations must be started early.

On the eighth day, the Emperor was still very busy.

But amidst his busyness, the Emperor met with County Duke Yu in the Imperial Garden and even wanted to personally support him by the hand.

County Duke Yu dared not let him assist, hurriedly stepping back with his cane, bowing to let the Emperor go first, with himself a step behind.

The Emperor knew his character: appearing frail and physically weak, but unyieldingly firm, even more so than Wei Zhi during his service period.

Thus, the Emperor smiled, walked ahead, and upon reaching the Imperial Garden, chose a pavilion to sit. Seeing that County Duke Yu still did not speak, he waved his hand to dismiss the attendants.

Once everyone had walked away, the Emperor smiled and said, “Assistant Minister Yu, you wouldn’t have traveled thousands of miles just to collect a basket of rice cakes in the capital city, would you?”

County Duke Yu bowed and said, “Your Majesty, during my time in Yuezhou, I heard such words.”

“Some say, the Crown Prince being childless is a divine punishment because he is considered illegitimate and not favored by the former Emperor. Now, his childlessness is merely a minor warning. If the chaos is not set right, soon the heavens might bring disaster upon the entire world.”
