Governor Dong's expression was quite peculiar. He said, "To discuss your merits and rewards, the officials started debating in the Golden Palace from 7:30 in the morning, and it wasn't until an hour ago that they concluded. Even Grand Academician Li couldn't get any news during this time, let alone us."

"An entire day?" Fang Yun asked.

Governor Dong laughed helplessly, "Don't even mention it. Both sides were arguing fiercely. Even when the Empress Dowager asked them to break for lunch, they wouldn't. The guards couldn’t stop them from continuing their debate. The Empress Dowager couldn't just let the officials starve, so they had lunch right there in the Golden Palace, eating and arguing simultaneously."

Fang Yun blinked and chuckled, "That scene must have been quite unique. I can't even imagine it."
