Huo Yushen's face darkened slightly, and he bowed and retreated.
The chief minister of the cabinet, the speakers of the Senate and the upper and lower houses, the five chiefs of staff of the military, and the high priest Su Yanxing outside the door also bowed and retreated.
Only the chief imperial physician was left standing in the corner.
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan glanced at him and said, "You also leave."
"I know my body, nothing will happen to me anymore."
"If you feel uncomfortable, I will summon you to the palace."
"You haven't had a rest for so many days, right? I'll give you a long vacation."
The chief imperial physician bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan smiled and said, "If you have time, you can go to the Special Security Bureau more often and see if you can cure Xia Chujian's brain fog."
The chief imperial physician nodded in agreement.
After he left, only Empress Li Fengen and the Emperor were left in the imperial study.
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan looked up and said to Empress Li Feng En, "Zi Tong should also go down. I am tired and want to rest."
Empress Li Feng'en walked up to the emperor, looked him in the eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, what about my daughter?"
"When will you issue an order for the Correctional Service to investigate this case?"
"It's been nineteen years. I must find out whether my daughter is alive or dead!"
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan said unhappily, "I told you she was dead. She died at birth. Why are you still arguing about life and death? Don't you believe me?"
"Besides, what time is it now? You still only remember your daughter!"
"Do you know that our empire is under the threat of the Zerg army?"
"You are the mother of a country, how can you be so narrow-minded?!"
"All the women in this empire can be your daughters. Why should you only care about the one you have?"
Empress Li Fengen was almost amused by Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan's eloquent words.
She sneered and said, "Really? Then can your Majesty's throne be passed on to any woman in the empire?"
The Emperor, Tan Tai Hong Yuan, was enraged and said, "Queen! Don't think I dare not punish you!"
"What does it have to do with me if your child dies?!"
"If you want to investigate the case, find someone to do it yourself!"
"I'm busy here!"
"The Zerg army is about to attack us, and you only remember these trivial matters!"
Queen Li Fengen pressed forward and said, "I don't care about the Zerg army! I just want to know whether my daughter is alive or dead!"
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan looked away somewhat unnaturally and said, "Of course he's dead."
Queen Lee Bong-eun then pressed the issue, "What about the body? Was it really disposed of with the newborns? Did Your Majesty witness her death?"
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan shook his head: "How would I know?"
"The doctor who delivered her said she was dead. I only took a look from a distance and then had her taken away for disposal."
Queen Li Fengen asked, "Where is the doctor who delivered the baby?"
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan was furious: "It's been nineteen years! The Empress doesn't think that I, the Emperor, can still remember the whereabouts of a midwife, right?"
Queen Li Fengen took a deep breath and said, "I will check."
"When I gave birth, the medical staff who delivered me all kept records."
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan looked indifferent: "Then go check it out."
"Okay, go down."
He seemed eager to drive the queen away.
Queen Li Fengen showed no intention of leaving, but said: "Your Majesty, if my daughter were still alive, she would be the first in line to the throne of the empire."
"Your Majesty, do you really not care about her life or death?!"
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan said unhappily, "I want to care, but can I?!"
"Nineteen years have passed. I've already been reborn as a human."
"If she's really not dead, even if she's found, she'll be a useless person."
"If Empress Li Fengen cares so much about the empire's heir, then give me another one..."
Queen Li Feng'en never expected that the emperor would cheat.
She looked at Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan hatefully and didn't speak for a long time.
Just when Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan thought she was about to give up, Empress Li Feng En suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I can stop pursuing my daughter's whereabouts."
"But, I hope Your Majesty will release Xia Chujian."
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan did not expect that Queen Li Fengen would actually plead for Xia Chujian.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Queen Li Fengen coldly: "...release Xia Chujian?"
"Why are you so interested in her?"
Queen Lee Bong-eun said calmly, "I am not interested in anyone except my own daughter."
"But Xia Chujian finally helped my daughter uncover the truth and prevented that fake guy from taking over her place!"
"Just for this reason, I can't let her go."
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Can't you just let her go?"
"Tell me, how do you want to manage it?!"
"Have you forgotten that I am the emperor?"
Empress Li Feng'en looked at Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan, smiled strangely for a moment, and said, "Really?"
"Your Majesty is indeed the Emperor, but Your Majesty, I know how Madam Jiuyi's daughter died."
"If Your Majesty does not release Xia Chujian, I can go see Madam Jiuyi immediately and tell her that her daughter..."
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan showed a look of horror and interrupted Empress Li Feng En loudly: "Shut up!"
"You...you...vicious woman!"
In an instant, Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan activated his mental power.
