Chapter 745
Cheng Dalei and Baili Sheng walked side by side into the grand hall of the Ministry of Rites, attracting curious glances from the officials they passed. Part of it was their curiosity about Cheng Dalei, a man they had heard of but had never seen before. On the other hand, they were also stunned at Baili Sheng's attitude towards Cheng Dalei.
So the two of them are close friends.
Baili Sheng's attitude effectively represented the current emperor's perspective. Thus, officials did not dare to slight Cheng Dalei in any way and went out of their way to satisfy his requests.
They swiftly arranged a place for Cheng Dalei to stay. Baili Sheng even offered to send Cheng Dalei ten beautiful concubines to serve him at any time.
"Ah, I brought my maids with me, and I have official duties to attend to. It's more important to relieve the emperor of his worries," Cheng Dalei declined, suspecting possible spies among the group of concubines.
