Without the Arithmetic Book, perhaps after his death, he would only be left with infamy.

“Your Majesty…” Liu Wuji’s tone became heavier.

Seeing this, Emperor Yan recalled the past and revealed a look of guilt.

Then, he quickly calmed down.

“Before Prince Anyang enters the capital, I’ll have to trouble you with the matters in the court.”

“When he takes over the government, you and the prime minister have to assist him.”

At this moment, Emperor Yan seemed to have changed into a different person.

He was really preparing to give up his power.

“Yes.” Liu Wuji replied.

Emperor Yan was finally relieved.

After a while, he said, “also, Zhang Shi has nothing to do with this. Let her go.”

“If she weren’t here in the past 19 days, I wouldn’t be able to make it.”

Liu Wuji instantly raised his head and looked at Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan smiled.

“Although I am old, my mind is not muddled.”

“Zhang Shi has been taking care of me these days. She has done her best and is not lying.”

“I…I can’t leave her…” Emperor Yan sighed and regretted his last sentence.

He missed Consort Shu, or rather, he had missed her since he started taking the Life Essence Pill.

The weaker his body and the worse his mental state, the more he missed her. He missed the time they spent together.

A complicated expression flashed across Liu Wuji’s face.

“We’ll make arrangements after we find out the ins and outs.” He said.

Emperor Yan looked at Liu Wuji. He was originally a little angry, but he put away his anger.

Since Zhang Shi was innocent, when the matter was investigated, Zhang Shi would come back sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yan did not dwell on this matter anymore.

“Alright. Let the imperial physician in. You can leave.” He said to Liu Wuji. There was a hint of frustration.

Liu Wuji did not react. He cupped his hands at Emperor Yan and left.

That night, under the interrogation of the officials of the Ministry of Justice, the matter of Emperor Yan being poisoned was concluded.

The person who poisoned him was Lady Yu. She was angry that Emperor Yan killed Master Guo and his family, so she poisoned him.

At this moment, everyone found out that Master Guo’s family concluded Lady Yu’s younger brother.

After she was exposed, Lady Yu committed suicide.

When Emperor Yan received the testimony, his expression was very gloomy.

After a long while, he threw away his testimony and accepted the truth.

The only thing that made Emperor Yan happy was that the Imperial Adcisor had sent Zhang Shi back to his side.

Looking at Zhang Shi’s face that was extremely similar to Consort Shu’s, Emperor Yan once again had the motivation to persevere.

In the Imperial Consort’s bedroom.

A eunuch knelt in front of her and reported the situation in Shuanghua Palace.

Knowing that the matter of Lady Yu poisoning His Majesty had been resolved, the Imperial Consort was relieved.

“Continue to keep an eye on the Shanghua Palace. Report back immediately if anything happens.” The Imperial Consort said in a deep voice.

At most half a year? It was too much…

However, there were still eighteen days left.Jt was not that easy to survive.

When his son entered the capital and ascended to the position of Crown Prince, he should die…

That night, in Dashi Village.

After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms early because of the cold weather.

A fast horse suddenly came down the official road and galloped into Daishi Village.

A man and a horse quickly galloped along the village road, straight to the Liu family.

“Master is back!”

“Madam, Miss! Master is back!” Not long after, cheers suddenly rang out from the gatehouse.

As the sound approached, Lin Xiaoyue, who was preparing to go to bed, also heard the commotion outside.

When she heard the contents of the servant’s clamor, Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up. She grabbed a large cloak and draped it over her body before leaving.

When she arrived at the courtyard, she realized that Liu Shi and Li Wan had also come out.

The three of them were delighted as they quickly headed to the front yard.

At this moment, the front yard was already bustling with activity.

The servants all got up and invited Li Xiao inside.

The servant led the way with a lamp and helped Li Xiao carry the things.

Zhao Fu quickly arranged for the cook to go to the kitchen to boil ginger soup for Li Xiao and prepare hot water and food.

Then he went to call for a charcoal basin.

The front yard was bustling with activity.

“Li Xiao!” Lin Xiaoyue was the first of the three women to arrive at the front yard. Seeing that it was indeed Li Xiao who had returned, she immediately called out to him.

Seeing the figure in the corridor, Li Xiao’s originally cold face seemed to melt as he quickly walked towards Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue couldn’t wait any longer. She immediately ran and plunged into Li Xiao’s arms.

The man was weathered all the way, and his embrace was a little cold, but Lin Xiaoyue only felt warmth and steadiness.

“I’m back.” Feeling the uneasiness of the person in his arms, Li Xiao said in a muffled voice.

Six days ago, after settling the matter with the Chu Country, they galloped all the way. Two horses died in the journey before they managed to rush back tonight..
