Chapter 382 - A Woman's Decision In The Court

Han Wenji entered the Imperial Court, and everyone bowed in his respect. He sat on the throne and looked at the petition in front of him on the desk. Reading the petition, he lifted his head.

"This is the first time the Court started later in the noon. The incident occurred in the morning and the ministers wrote and signed on the petition for the removal of the Governor instead of finding a solution," Han Wenji affirmed and looked at the Prime Minister.

"You could have handled this matter, Prime Minister," asserted Han Wenji.
