The next morning, Su Li's head felt fuzzy as she entered The Audience Hall for the morning assembly early.
She listened with half an ear as the ministers droned on and on about their departments or duties.
Each of the ministers tried hard to prove their worth and usefulness to the monarch.
She sighed at their pedantic thoughts but didn't have it in herself to reprimand them.
Meanwhile, Ning Fu watched the monarch with hooded eyes.
Just as the morning assembly ended and the monarch called for a particular Imperial Guard, Ning Fu stopped in his steps and stumbled on his own two feet.
He was saved from an embarrassing crash as one of his subordinates stopped his fall by grabbing his arm.
Still, the other person looked at him with worried eyes.
"Is everything alright, Unit Commander?"
But Ning Fu wasn't in the state to respond to his words verbally and simply shooed him away.
