They must have done it on purpose. Without Master Shao here, how would he know which of the medicinal pills was the antidote for the poison in his body?
He gritted his teeth and said to Qian Jiyun, "Qian Jiyun, don't you want the abdication edict? As long as you ask Master Shao to give me the antidote, I'll give you the edict."
"Please don't!"
Qian Jiyun took a step back, pulling An Jiuyue away from the old Emperor to prevent him from trying to involve them.
"Your Majesty, you sound as if you want to pass the throne to me. I can't accept such a big position. Is Your Majesty trying to send me to the center of the storm?"
"Qian Jiyun!"
