Nan Feng noticed the Emperor not only did not leave, but instead squatted down to watch her washing the bowls.
This esteemed Emperor, perhaps from having been stifled within the Imperial Palace, held a curious fascination towards the mundane tasks of the common folk.
Yet she, not knowing what to say, simply allowed him to observe.
After washing the bowls, Nan Feng slightly bowed to the Emperor, holding the basin, "Your Majesty, I beg your pardon, I cannot accompany you any longer."
"Wait," the Emperor stopped Nan Feng.
"Does Your Majesty have additional orders?" Nan Feng asked.
Under the dim lantern light, the Emperor said, "Do you also believe that I was improper in my actions and should not have used Nangong Nini as an instrument to pressure your husband to go to war?"
