Liu Hu's eyes sharpened, and after a moment of silence, he sighed softly: "After all, the Grand Tutor was entrusted by Emperor Xiaohe."
"I recall in the past...."
"When I was young, Emperor Xiaohe bestowed much favor upon me."
"And for several generations, the forebears of the Gu Clan have rendered great service to our Great Han."
"In the future, the Empress should refrain from concerning herself with the Grand Tutor...."
"The Grand Tutor has grown old."
"In a few more days, he might request to resign."
With that, Liu Hu sighed deeply once again.
But suddenly, Yan Ji's expression changed, that familiar look of hesitation reappearing on her face.
"Your Majesty... this concubine...."
Liu Hu immediately furrowed his brows and asked, "Why does the Empress act this way again?"
"I know of a secret.... but I am somewhat afraid to speak," Yan Ji's voice trembled slightly.
The more this was the case, the more curious Liu Hu became.
