Chu Qianli was brought into the Emperor's Qianming Palace.
The Emperor, with Grand Eunuch Qing attending to him, was drinking tea.
Seeing Chu Qianli, he immediately broke into a smile, his face warm and peaceful.
"Has Lili finally arrived?"
The term "Lili" made Chu Qianli's skin crawl.
"Paying respects to Your Majesty." Chu Qianli, maintaining her composure, bowed deeply.
The Emperor chuckled, "You are excused from the formalities, please take a seat."
Grand Eunuch Qing immediately ordered someone to prepare a seat for Chu Qianli, and even served refreshments.
Chu Qianli pursed her lips, knowing that the Emperor was a man of profound schemes.
The matter of her grandfather, if she didn't bring it up, the likelihood was that the Emperor wouldn't either.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor has brought my grandfather into the palace for treatment. I thank you for this. I am concerned about my grandfather," said Chu Qianli, "may I know if I might be able to see him?"
