Little Le couldn't bring the Emperor, his face sour, yet he dared not delay and hurried back to Regency Hall, while in the imperial study room, standing beside the Emperor was none other than An Jiuyue.
"I didn't expect you'd still enter the palace this late."
Just earlier, he was upset about the Retired Emperor's affairs and hadn't expected An Jiuyue to arrive in the capital today, let alone that she'd enter the palace this late.
"Eunuch Fu, go prepare a table of dishes."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing the command, Eunuch Fu, who had just entered, responded immediately and exited the imperial study room once more.
"Your Majesty, this was sent by Prince An Yang through me. He says it's a method for managing the drought." An Jiuyue handed a thick stack of papers to the Emperor.
"I'll take a look first. You sit for a while; the food will be here soon."
