In the God Cultivation Temple.
The Xia Emperor did not rest. He leaned back on his dragon bed and read a book. Wei Shang came in from outside, carrying a bowl of Five Treasures Lotus Seed Congee. His footsteps were very light. When he came closer, he put down the tray and handed the bowl over.
"Your Majesty, this old servant ordered the imperial kitchen to make this. Eat it while it's hot."
He put down the book.
The Xia Emperor took the bowl and stirred it with a spoon. His eyes lit up." Has Qing Lin gone?"
" Lord Marquis is a man of honor. He just returned with Hongling and learned of this from Chang 'an. He rushed over and ordered Li Xuan' an to remove Minister Fu's bracelet, chains, and shackles. He also beat Fu Ming up and ordered Tie Mo and the others to be tortured to death!"
The Xia Emperor's eyes flickered with a bright light, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
