"His Majesty!"
Before the palace maid could finish her words, she suddenly saw Liu Qi behind her, whose face was ashen.
This really scared her out of her wits, and Li Ji was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
The words she originally said were just words made out of anger, but she never expected that the emperor actually listened to every word she said.
"His Majesty!"
Li Ji was completely dumbfounded.
But by the time she chased him out, the emperor had already disappeared. How could she catch up with him?
"You damn slaves, why was no one notified when His Majesty came in?"
"Mother, your Majesty's visit was really unexpected. When we found out, His Majesty was already outside the door."
Several palace maids and eunuchs knelt directly at Li Ji's feet.
"Come here, drag them down! Beat them!"
Although the emperor did not say what to do with him, the words he just said were clearly heard by the emperor.
Li Ji now hates these slaves even more than Liu Deng.
"My dear, please spare my life!"
At this moment, the palace maids and eunuchs were all dumbfounded. Li Ji clearly wanted to beat them to death.
But no matter how much they begged for mercy, how could Li Ji let them go?
"Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself. Your Majesty must have been angry for a moment, so she spoke indiscriminately and said some things that shouldn't have been said!"
Seeing Liu Qidu shaking with anger, Chuntuo hurriedly followed behind and waited carefully.
"He speaks without restraint? Listen to what he just said? With a master like him, I can imagine what kind of demeanor that damn dog slave will be after he arrives in Buqi City?"
Liu Qi was really a little angry at Liu Deng in his heart, but after hearing these words today, the little bit of temper he had left was thrown out of the sky.
After all, compared to this stupid woman, Liu Deng's character is undoubtedly much stronger.
"Your Majesty, all your mistakes are your fault. Please don't get so angry that you are so angry. The Prime Minister is ill now. If something happens to your body again, what can you do to this great Han Dynasty? manage?"
To be fair, Chuntuo didn't want to care about Li Ji's affairs, but seeing Liu Qi's excitement, he was really a little scared.
"This damn bitch! If she is so resentful towards you, I should just kill her!"
Thinking about what Li Ji had just scolded him, Liu Qi's disgust for her had almost reached its peak.
Hearing Liu Qi's words, Chun Tuo quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
He has been with Liu Qi for more than a day or two, and of course he understands that all the decisions Liu Qi makes now are made in anger.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of His Highness the Crown Prince, please bypass her this time! The Crown Prince is still young. If you kill the Empress, I'm afraid it will break His Highness's heart."
Speaking of the prince, Liu Qi finally took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
"That's it, let's pass the order and ban her for three months to see the effects!"
In any case, Liu Rong still has nothing to find fault with in terms of filial piety.
Even if he was thinking about his son, he could only endure this tone for a while before speaking.
"promise!"
Seeing that Liu Qi finally let go, Chuntuo let out a long breath.
"You can still draw at will. Your Majesty, why don't you go and see King Jiaodong? He has been in trouble a lot recently. It is said that he threw a nest of ants into someone's bathtub while the maid next to the empress was taking a bath."
Seeing that Liu Qi was still angry, Chuntuo said softly.
"This brat!"
After Chuntuo interrupted him like this, the expression on Liu Qi's face finally softened.
"Then let's..."
Chuntuo asked quickly and quietly.
"Forget it, let's go see him another day. You can accompany me out of the palace."
In any case, Shen Tujia is also an old minister. Liu Qi should go and see him regardless of whether it is emotional or rational...
"Your Majesty, someone just came from the Prime Minister's Mansion and said that the Prime Minister has passed away..."
Liu Qicai had just changed his clothes and was about to leave the palace when a young eunuch hurried over.
"..."
"I, I'm sorry for him..."
Suddenly hearing the bad news, Liu Qi couldn't help crying.
I originally thought that I would go and see him again at night.
But I didn't expect that after such a delay, I didn't even see him for the last time...
"You Si, let's prepare for the funeral with the courtesy of a prince..."
After a moment of silence, Liu Qi closed his eyes in pain, and then silently walked towards the imperial study.
Early the next morning, the court meeting should have been cancelled. However, Shen Tujia was the prime minister of a country after all. Now that he was gone, there should indeed be an explanation for the funeral.
Of course, such a big thing had spread throughout Chang'an City last night.
Therefore, this morning, several important ministers who were qualified to take over as prime minister were all eagerly waiting for him.
Tao Qing, who was originally the most promising, is now unknown to anyone.
The remaining few, no matter who they are, are always a little behind in terms of qualifications.
So this matter was really a bit mysterious for a while, and everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the emperor's decision.
As long as you can reach the position of prime minister, it means that your family will reach the peak of prosperity!
"Have you heard everything about last night?"
After waiting for the ministers to shout long live, Liu Qi suddenly stood up from the throne and slowly walked to the middle of the Xuanshi Hall.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Prime Minister unfortunately passed away due to illness. This is a great regret for me. But now I am full of waste and waiting for prosperity. Your Majesty, please take care of your health!"
Seeing the emperor's haggard look, Chao Cuo hurried out of work to answer questions.
"Your Majesty, please take good care of your dragon body!"
Whether it was false feelings or true feelings, no matter what, it finally made Liu Qi feel a little better.
This funeral process has long been established in the imperial court, so naturally there is no need to say anything more.
But despite this, the details were discussed for more than an hour. Seeing that everything was finally finalized, Liu Qi felt somewhat relieved.
"Today has been a little long. Everyone, is there anything else? If nothing else, let's call it a day!"
Originally, today's court meeting was supposed to appoint a candidate to act as prime minister, but the emperor seemed to have forgotten about it. This really made those important ministers feel a bit like cat scratching their hearts.
"Your Majesty, I have ordered Li Ben to report something to you!"
