Chapter 253 Are You Sure You Have Searched Everything?
Ji Yunxie shook his head, because the medicine was bright red in color, and the medicine stains his lips, which were slightly cool and pale due to the cold body, making them look rosy and attractive.
It makes the pale and delicate porcelain-white face look a little more enchanting.
"Not bitter, but with a hint of sweetness."
Liang An was skeptical, so he picked up the empty bowl and put it close to his nose to smell it.
"what?"
"Why does it smell a bit good?"
Ji Yunxie raised the corners of his mouth slightly and hummed softly as a response.
Seeing that his son really didn't feel the medicine was bitter, Liang An believed it.
"Sir, you are weak, do you need to rest?"
Although the young master is in much better health now than before, Liang An still feels that he is like a delicate porcelain doll and needs to be treated with care.
If Ji Yunxie hadn't said it, he wouldn't have realized it. After hearing Liang An's words, he responded softly.
"Ah."
"Then I'll get you some hot water so you can wash up and sleep better."
"it is good."
……
Imperial Palace, outside the Imperial Study
"Please wait a moment, Lord Beichen. I will let you go in and report."
Di Ran’s face was calm: “Yeah.”
In the imperial study, Empress Ji Yao sat at the desk with a sullen face.
A woman in black armor knelt below, her expression solemn: "Your Majesty, I have failed in my duty and failed to live up to your trust."
Ji Yao's eyes were cold: "It seems that I underestimated her." She glanced at the woman below and said coldly: "Are you sure you have searched everything?"
Zhao Ting replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have searched inside and outside, but I can't find it."
"When Prince Beichen suddenly appeared, he alerted the guards in the palace. I felt that I had been exposed and wanted to evacuate for fear of being recognized."
"But there were so many people and I was injured. I was afraid that they would track me down, so I stayed outside the palace to recuperate. I have only come to report to Your Majesty now."
Ji Yao narrowed her sharp eyes and glanced at Zhao Ting: "Get up, although you did a bad job in this matter, it can't be entirely blamed on you."
"Di Ran is a meticulous person. If she could be found so easily, the people I sent out over the years would have killed her long ago. How could she be allowed to live until now?"
Zhao Ting's eyes narrowed slightly: "Your Majesty is right."
"But I don't understand why Your Majesty is looking for the imperial decree and the late emperor's will?"
After all, every elder in the court knew about the late emperor's last will and testament, which had been read out long ago, and it was also well known that Prince Beichen had the right to act as regent.
Your Majesty, why did you go to the trouble of stealing the imperial edict?
As for stealing the imperial edict, she could understand it. After all, the imperial edict not only had the power to execute the emperor, but more importantly, it could also mobilize an army that had been secretly trained by the royal family of successive dynasties.
If it is for that army, there is nothing wrong with your Majesty's actions.
It is a bit puzzling if he just stole the imperial edict.
Zhao Ting has been with Ji Yao for many years, and Ji Yao can more or less guess what she is thinking.
His cloudy eyes flashed sharply, and his face was cold: "Do you think I want to?"
"The emperor has passed away, but she still issued such an order. It is obvious that she had prepared for it. The heir to the throne she had chosen was never me. If it were not for the princess forcing the emperor to abdicate and rebelling, and none of the remaining princesses were responsible, do you think I would still be sitting in this position today?"
"The late emperor only met Di Ran once and then adopted her as his daughter and made her king. He even issued such an order after his death. It is obvious that he wanted her to restrain me and prevent me from having peace of mind."
This old immortal thing should just die, why bother giving him such a treat!
Ji Yao had a gloomy face, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes: "It is obviously the Ji family's kingdom, but a person from another family is suppressing us and making decisions. How can I accept this?"
"Prince Beichen holds the imperial decree and the will in her hands, and can depose me at any time. As long as she is alive, I will be worried all day long. How can I be at ease?"
