Emperor Yan glanced at Liu Wuji.

“We will discuss the matter after I recuperated.”

“In addition, during my recuperation period, you and the prime minister will handle the state affairs. 1 am not worried with you here.”

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

Seeing that Liu Wuji was about to speak, Emperor Yan raised his hand to stop him.

“This matter is settled.”

Liu Wuji made a helpless expression and cupped his hands at Emperor Yan.

“Yes.” He replied.

Seeing this, Emperor Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

It was good that he didn’t refuse. Compared to appointing a crown prince and letting the crown prince oversee the country, he trusted the Imperial Advisor more.

Moreover, with the Imperial Advisor around, the Great Yan would definitely be safe.

Emperor Yan asked Liu Wuji some more things to take note of before letting him leave.

After Liu Wuji left, he summoned the imperial physician.

After taking his pulse and confirming that his body was indeed not in good condition and that his lifespan had been damaged, Emperor Yan completely gave up on the fluke in his heart.

After letting the imperial physician leave, he began to make arrangements.

The next day.

Emperor Yan did not attend the morning court.

Eunuch Dahu announced that the Emperor was not feeling well and needed to rest for a period of time.

During this period of time, the state affairs were handed over to the Imperial Advisor and assisted by the prime minister.

When the ministers received the imperial edict, their hearts were all at ease.

Previously, the Emperor had neglected the government, and they had no way to report it.

Now, the Imperial Advisor was back.

Moreover, with him in charge of government affairs, they believed that the court affairs would soon be clear and smooth.

In short, Liu Wuji was like a stabilizing needle. At this juncture, he calmed everyone’s minds.

Regarding the Third and Fifth Prince being imprisoned and the Emperor recuperating from his illness, everyone only dared to secretly discuss and no one dared to make a move for the time being.

After Liu Wuji took over, he quickly dealt with the memorials that Emperor Yan had accumulated during this period of time.

After that, they allocated funds to the border to continue strengthening the border guards.

After a series of policies, all the officials were convinced.

The originally terrified court quickly calmed down.

Ten days later.

Emperor Yan entered the middle stage of drug withdrawal.

“No, I can’t take it anymore! Go and get that pill for me! Hurry up and go!” Emperor Yan, whose grayish-white hair danced around his cheeks, was like a stray dog as he roared at Zhang Shi and Lady Yu.

The two women hurriedly went forward to help Emperor Yan.

“Your Majesty, take care of your body!” Lady Yu cried.

“Today is already the tenth day. Endure it Your Majesty. Endure a little longer and it will pass!” Zhang Shi followed.

Emperor Yan felt as if his heart had been bitten by thousands of ants. Facing the two women he used to dote on the most, he was also furious.

However, he still managed to control his anger and did not have the heart to flare up at Zhang Shi. Instead, he pushed Lady Yu away.

“Get lost!”

Lady Yu did not manage to steady herself and fell to the side.

Her fair and tender hand rubbed against the floor tiles, and blood actually came out.

“Ouch!” She couldn’t help but wail. Lady Yu looked at her own hands, tears flowing out.

Zhang Shi had already helped Emperor Yan up and used her own body to restrain him. She kept comforting him so that he would not go crazy again.

Ignoring Emperor Yan’s roar, Zhang Shi only hugged Emperor Yan tightly.

“It’s fine, Your Majesty will be fine! Just bear with it, just bear with it…I’m here, I’m here…”

Emperor Yan felt the woman’s love and treated the woman in front of him as Consort Shu.

Thinking of Consort Shu’s sincere feelings for him in the past, he shed tears as he forcefully suppressed the torture in his body.

No matter how uncomfortable his body was, no matter how much he cried, he controlled himself and did not attack Zhang Shi.

The two of them embraced each other like a beauty and a beast, but they also seemed to be sincere.

Lady Yu’s tears fell. Looking at this scene, she felt that she was redundant.

The Emperor abstained from medicine for ten days. She ate and lived with Zhang Shi and the Emperor, accompanying the Emperor for ten days. The treatment she received from the Emperor was vastly different.

Zhang Shi was the Emperor’s treasure. Even when the drug addiction acted up to the most difficult moment, the Emperor had never been rough with Zhang Shi.

But towards her, the Emperor did not have much affection.

It was still alright when the drug addiction did not flare up. He still cared for her a little.

However, once the drug addiction kicked in, he would treat her like an enemy. Beating and scolding at every turn.

At the beginning, she knew that she was not as similar to Consort Shu as Zhang Shi, but she could still convince herself to accept it.

However, after a few days, this kind of difference in treatment forced her to be jealous..
