“Originally, according to what the Imperial Advisor said, as long as we can hold on for another three days, the Emperor will be able to completely remove the effects of the Life Essence Pill.”
“If His Majesty takes care of his body, he could still have half a year of lifespan.”
“But in order to meet you with dignity, the Emperor chose to sacrifice his life.”
Li Wan’s eyes were filled with shock. The hand in her sleeve had already dug into her palm.
“With the current situation, I’m afraid that the Emperor won’t even be able to last till tomorrow.” Zhang Shi said again.
Li Wan’s mind went blank.
A moment later, she came back to her senses.
“Did His Majesty ask you to say that?” She then asked Zhang Shi.
In order to meet her in a dignified manner, he had taken the Life Essence Pill?
That man was ruthless to others, but he was also ruthless to himself.
“No, it’s not that. I couldn’t bear for the Emperor to do this, but Your Highness didn’t know, so I presumptuously decided to tell Your Highness.”
Li Wan looked at Zhang Shi unhappily.
“You are indeed very presumptuous.” She said in a deep voice.
Zhang Shi was frightened and almost knelt down.
“Humph!” Then, Li Wan looked at Zhang Shi in annoyance and turned to the side, ignoring Zhang Shi.
He only had one day to live? That was good too…
That’s good too…
At the same time, in Shanghua Palace.
Emperor Yan told Prince Anyang about his funeral.
“Send Zhang Shi out of the palace.”
He had already seen Consort Shu, so there was no need to keep Zhang Shi around.
Although he regretted not being able to share a bed with Consort Shu after death, there was no need to arrange a substitute to accompany him forever.
In this way, it could also be considered as severing the relationship between him and Consort Shu.
He would wait for Consort Shu in the afterlife, then he would reunite with her.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Prince Anyang accepted the order.
Only then did Emperor Yan stand up from the soft couch.
Then, he looked at the box beside him.
“Bring that box with you and follow me to the Conference Hall.”
“Yes!”
In the next moment, Emperor Yan seemed to have recovered his vitality as he strode out of the hall.
When he walked out of Shanghua Palace and saw Li Wan, Emperor Yan smiled at her but did not say anything.
Then, he left with Prince Anyang and his entourage.
This time, it was Li Wan’s turn to watch Emperor Yan leave.
It was not until the dragon carriage was far away that Li Wan withdrew her gaze under Zhang Shi’s gaze.
“Please follow me out of the palace.” Soon, a guard came to pick Li Wan up.
Li Wan took one last look at Zhang Shi and left with the guards.
This departure was a farewell.
Zhang Shi watched Li Wan leave.
His expression was a little complicated.
Was Consort Shu really heartless to the Emperor?
In the Conference Hall.
The ministers had been waiting here for several hours.
If it wasn’t for the Emperor’s order to have everyone wait here, the court session would have long dispersed.
Just as the courtiers were discussing whether to invite the Imperial Advisor and send someone to ask the Emperor, Eunuch Dahu’s sharp voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
“The Emperor has arrived!”
The officials instantly moved. When they saw Emperor Yan enter the hall, they all knelt down and bowed.
“Long live the Emperor.”
Emperor Yan didn’t look away and walked straight to the throne.
He glanced at Liu Wuji, who had a puzzled expression on his face, and then waved at the officials.
“Everyone, please rise.”
“Thank you, Emperor!” Only then did the ministers stand up.
Seeing that Emperor Yan had not seen him for a few days, he actually became much more energetic.
His body seemed to have recovered, and they were all a little happy.
The last time they saw the Emperor, his complexion was extremely bad. They were all worried that the Emperor did not have much time left.
Now that the Emperor had appeared full of vitality, could it be that he had recovered?
This was a good thing.
Emperor Yan’s gaze swept across the courtiers’ faces and a smile appeared on his face.
“I haven’t seen you for a few days. Seeing that all of you are well again, 1 am gratified.”
He was really in a good mood now.
Resisting the Life Essence Pill had consumed too much of his essence. For a long time, he had lived in pain and exhaustion.
Now, his body had regained its strength, and he even felt that his mental state had returned to when he was young.
Although this was the only day, he did not regret it.
The courtiers discussed softly. When they heard that the Emperor was concerned about them, they all smiled.
“Today, the reason why I asked you all to come is because 1 want to announce two things.” Emperor Yan said again.
Silence returned to the hall.
“First, 1 want to issue a self-reproaching edict.” Emperor Yan followed.
The air in the hall seemed to freeze instantly.
Immediately, some officials knelt down.
Then, the ministers knelt down.
“Your Majesty can’t…” The voices of remonstrance were endless.
The self-condemning edict was an edict issued by the Emperor when there was a problem in the court, when the country suffered a natural disaster, and when the regime was in danger..
