"When Prince Anyang ascends to the throne, the Nangong family will be exonerated. At that time, my grandfather can also retire and return to Daishi Village with us."
Liu Wuji raised his glass in response.
"I hope everything goes smoothly."
The next day.
The Yan Emperor, who had disappeared from the court for nearly a month, finally appeared.
The ministers were only then aware that their emperor was haggard and even found it difficult to stand.
Liu Wuji stood a little below the Yan Emperor's dragon throne, while the other ministers stood below.
Among them were Prince Anyang and Lin Xiaoyue.
With a loud shout of "attend court" from the eunuch Da Hu, the ministers below knelt down in a row, and Liu Wuji also bowed deeply to the Yan Emperor.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!" The ministers shouted.
"Rise." The weak Yan Emperor raised his hand. His voice was almost like a sigh of air.
