Yes, Lord Xia had asked for leave.
One must know that when the late Emperor passed away, all the civil and military officials in the court had to pay their respects. He actually dared to ask for leave?
But the Emperor held the leave request that Lord Xia had sent, blinked his eyes, and allowed it.
All the officials guessed that Lord Xia had received some kind of mission from the new emperor.
The note read,"the daughter-in-law made a mistake and has left the capital for punishment, while the niece asked uncle to stay for food and play ..." Requesting for leave!
That was called self-righteous.
Eunuch Lu took a glance and saw the young Emperor who had just ascended the throne silently put away the note and allowed Lord Xia to take leave.
Eunuch Lu raised his eyebrows. He didn't see any of them.
"Your Majesty, the Zheng family's old master is waiting outside the Royal study." Eunuch Lu bowed and said.
