Attending the morning court session today, Gu Wenheng felt the gaze of the ruler on the throne falling upon him with unusual frequency.
It was clearly Minister Li beside him who was presenting a memorial, yet the Holy Emperor wasn't looking at the speaker. Instead, he kept staring at Gu Wenheng. It seemed a conclusion had finally been reached regarding the matter from a few days ago.
"Gu Aiqing," Hua Zhang called out to him. "You have raised a fine son. He has made a monumental contribution to the Rong Dynasty."
Gu Wenheng quickly stepped out from the ranks of officials. "This is all due to the blessings of Your Majesty and the common people. My son merely happened to be in the right place at the right time. He truly dares not claim credit for it."
