I've been wondering why Emperor Wu Xuan suddenly summons me at this hour. It's already dark. Eunuch Liu comes over and fetches me himself.
My wife looks at me. I can see worries in his eyes. "What is happening here, Fū'jūn? Why does the emperor summon you at this hour?" she asks. I held her face and smile.
"Don't worry, Fū'rén. I think the emperor just wants to tell me some private matters. You know that I'm a loyal official. I know His Majesty was aware of that," I replied.
My wife looks worried. I embraced her and brushed her hair. "Fū'rén, worrying too much will make you sick. Just trust me. I'll be home sooner than later. I promise you that," I mumbled.
She raised her head and grabbed something from her clothes. It's a pouch that can be taken from temples.
"Here. Don't take it off your body. It will surely bring you luck," my wife stated. I smiled and took it.
"I have to go now, Fū'rén. I'll see you later if you're not still sleeping," I remarked.
