The mood in the throne room changed completely after Minister Hu was dragged away.
The same people who moments before had been only indulging Chu Yun condescendingly now looked at him as if he was a fox that had sneaked into their chicken coop -- an all around very apt metaphor.
Chu Yun had gotten rid of Minister Hu for now, but there were more names in Gu Wei's list. Many of them were familiar, like the Minister of Finance -- who was giving him a cold, calculating look all the way across the room.
He remembered their meeting well. She was a traditional woman, happy to point out how Xiao Zai's lack of heir made him unfit to be King -- but now here they were anyway.
And she clearly wasn't happy about it.
