Zhou Shixiong received the letter on the day of the Laba Festival. After scanning its contents, he immediately ordered a horse to be brought over and rode straight for the imperial palace.
"Minister Zhou, why did you decide to come to the palace instead of celebrating the festival at home today?"
Zhou Shixiong directly presented the letter from his breast pocket. "Holy Emperor, can you give me an explanation for this?"
Frowning, Hua Shunming gestured for Le San, who was standing nearby, to take the letter. Glancing at the opening lines, Hua Shunming raised an eyebrow at Zhou Shixiong before continuing to read.
Gu Wenheng truly lived up to his title as Champion Scholar. The entire letter was written with such passionate indignation that Hua Shunming almost had the illusion that he himself was a despicable, shameless scoundrel who burned bridges after crossing them.
Of course, that wasn't exactly what the letter explicitly said. He wouldn't dare.
