Although there was no court assembly today, Yu Wenquan didn't slack off either. He rose early, practiced a set of boxing, had a simple meal of soup and cakes, and then continued to write intently at his desk, the reports piling up into two large stacks. It wasn't until nearly noon that he lifted his head, instantly feeling his neck stiff to the point of nearly locking.
"Ouch..."
He gave a soft cry, and the eunuch Liu Yu, who was attending him, quickly stepped forward to help him sit up, gently massaging his shoulders to relax his muscles.
Yu Wenquan moved his neck and asked, "Has Yu Mingli returned?"
Liu Yu replied, "Eunuch Yu hasn't returned yet."
Yu Wenquan paused for a moment and then said, "Bring me some tea."
