"Princess, we haven't caught the person yet, what should we do?"
"It's alright, take your time." She wasn't in a hurry.
Night slowly enveloped the entire capital, and lights began to illuminate the city one by one. However, the Biyou Palace was unusually quiet. Emperor Mingde sat before the statues of the Three Pure Ones, staring blankly at the Three Pure Ones, and murmured, "I miscalculated."
No one knew what he meant by "miscalculation." Liang Yunsi, who was standing beside him, reported that he understood Emperor Mingde's words even less.
In the past, when Emperor Mingde spoke, someone would respond. But now, when he finished speaking, there was complete silence. He was extremely unaccustomed to this and glared at Liang Yunsi, only to see Liang Yunsi looking puzzled.
"You also think I'm useless?" he said angrily.
"This servant dares not." Liang Yunsi knelt before him, bowing his head to beg for forgiveness.
"No, no, all you can say is 'no,' what else can I say?" Liang Yunsi wanted to kick him, but no matter how he raised his foot, he couldn't bring himself to kick.
"Qin Ji, where is Qin Ji?" Emperor Mingde asked, his tone was very bad and his emotions were extremely unstable.
Liang Yunsi kept his head down. "He's by the new emperor's side."
Qin Ji is a member of the Shadow Division, subordinate to the Emperor. Naturally, he is now tasked with protecting Zhao Yi, not Emperor Mingde, the retired Emperor.
Of course, the Shadow Division wouldn't abandon Emperor Mingde; they would still protect him. However, their leader, Qin Ji, would no longer protect him personally, but instead would protect Zhao Yi.
"That's right, we should protect the new emperor. Wei Tingsi, that ungrateful wretch, didn't even come to his rescue!" he said fiercely, spitting as he spoke.
It's clear that he abdicated, but he was still unwilling to accept it.
That's understandable. He hasn't even performed the Fengshan ceremony yet, so how could he be willing to abdicate?
A few days ago I was feeling extremely unwell, so I didn't have the energy to complain. Now that I'm feeling much better, I naturally have the energy to think about other things.
"You may leave. I wish to speak with the patriarch," he said.
Liang Yunsi had served him closely for many years and knew his temperament best. If he was asked to leave now, it meant that there was something he didn't want him to know. However, he couldn't refuse to leave, and he couldn't disobey the Emperor Emeritus just because he was the Emperor Emeritus.
