Kang Huijuan was outside the imperial court. He was nervous and terrified. What if the King punished him to death? Eunuch Gao Bing asked him to go inside.
Kang Huijuan nodded his head while Gao Bing had already gone inside. Should he admit his mistake? However, there was a lack of evidence. If he admitted the crime he committed, then not only would he fall in the eyes of the King, but also the ministers.
After contemplating over his thoughts, he walked in and he saw the suspicious gazes of ministers at him. It made him feel awkward and his heart was thundering against his chest. He greeted the King and stood with his head low.
"You took time to come inside," Qiu Zedong said in a stern tone.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty," Kang Huijuan said.
Kang Xi looked at his son and wondered what to do to save him. Because they were in the imperial court, there was no way he could even stand for his son.
