Chapter 169 Jiang Yimo flatters against her will for the first time
"I'm almost pissed off. How dare that bastard talk to me like that? He even dared to say that any man I picked up from the street would be several times better than me being his father..."
"Your Majesty, Prince Li only said those words in anger." Eunuch Li kept speaking well of Prince Li, also wanting to calm the old emperor down.
"It's just words spoken in anger! Little Leo, do you think that's just words spoken in anger?" the emperor asked back.
Little Leo didn't know how to respond to the old emperor.
Although what Prince Li said to the Emperor was indeed extremely outrageous, the Emperor was reluctant to hold Prince Li accountable.
Little Leo saw this clearly and dared to speak well of Prince Li.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Just when Little Leo was having trouble figuring out how to respond to the old emperor, a voice came from outside the palace that could save his life.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Evil King, Miss Jiang Yimo requests to see you!"
When the old emperor heard the two men coming, the anger on his face dissipated a little.
"Let them all come in!"
Immediately, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen were brought before the old emperor by a young eunuch.
The two men bowed respectfully to the old emperor.
The old emperor, standing on a high place, lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze was calm and deep, with a faint majesty, his voice was low and steady, as if it came from the depths of time, he asked: "You two have been in the library for a whole night, did you find anything?"
Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen looked at each other and shook their heads gently, their eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and confusion.
Then, they reported the important things that happened in the library to the old emperor. However, the secret of the golden lotus flying into Jiang Yimo's space was buried deep in their hearts and they never mentioned it.
Because Jiang Yimo knew very well that the secret of space was the treasure she was guarding. Once it was leaked to the old emperor, it might lead to unpredictable consequences.
The old emperor listened quietly, his expression serious and focused, as if he was thinking about something. From time to time, a gleam flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through their words and see the truth hidden behind them.
"Do you know what the vanishing golden lotus is?"
After hearing this, the two shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
"That's called the Golden Lotus of Merit."
"A thousand years ago, the library was a holy place for Buddhism. However, a terrible tragedy happened and the entire Buddhism was destroyed by the brutal massacre of evildoers..."
"And all this is just because of that mysterious golden lotus. The old emperor's eyes were heavy as he spoke these words slowly, as if he could see the tragic scene of the past reappearing before his eyes."
"Then why was this palace built so close to the library?" The two men were filled with doubts and confusion.
A trace of grief and helplessness flashed in the emperor's eyes. He sighed softly and said, "Because a thousand years ago, an empress and her husband were protected by the Buddhist sect and survived. So when they founded the country, they built the palace here. It is said that this is to protect the golden lotus and to remember that tragic history."
The old emperor was a believer in Buddhism, so when he talked about this history, his face was a little
The two listened quietly, their hearts filled with respect for Buddhism and anger towards the bad guys. They seemed to be able to feel the unyielding and tenacity of the Buddhist disciples back then, as well as their cherishment of the golden lotus.
The emperor went on to say: "This palace is not only a symbol of power, but also a witness to history. We want future generations to know that the spirit of Buddhism will never be erased." His eyes revealed his expectations for the future.
At this time, a breeze blew outside the window, making the windows and doors creak, as if mourning for this history.
It turns out that the forbidden area of the library has such a history.
After the old emperor finished speaking, the entire Chaoyang Palace fell into silence. Several people lowered their heads in silence, with a myriad of thoughts in their minds.
Time seemed to stand still, with only the breathing of a few people echoing in the air.
After a long time, the silence of several people was broken by Jiang Yimo's gentle voice.
She walked out slowly, her eyes showing concern, and her voice was as sweet as a nightingale: "Your Majesty, I see that you seem to be unwell. Your face looks a little pale, and your brows are slightly furrowed. Have you been overworked with state affairs recently? I am very worried."
Her words were as warm as the spring breeze, yet tinged with a hint of sadness.
Several people raised their heads and looked at Jiang Yimo, some with surprise on their faces, while others showed admiration.
The old emperor turned his head slightly and looked at Jiang Yimo, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.
He coughed a few times, his voice slightly hoarse: "I'm fine, I'm just getting older and my physical strength is a little weak."
His tone revealed a sense of helplessness and fatigue, as if he was carrying the burden of the entire country.
Jiang Yimo felt a surge of sadness in her heart. She thought that the emperor was just a mortal. Maybe he was very powerful when he was young, but now he was showing signs of fatigue.
"Your Majesty, I have worked very hard recently and finally developed a medicine that can strengthen your body. Take one pill of this medicine every morning and evening, and it will relieve your fatigue, make you energetic, and keep your body healthy."
"I know that the emperor is toiling over state affairs, worrying day and night, and is physically exhausted. I have seen it with my own eyes and kept it in mind, so I have spent some time these days developing a medicine for the emperor to regulate his body."
"During the development process, my daughter encountered many difficulties, but she never gave up easily, and finally she succeeded in developing it."
"Now that the medicine has been successfully developed, I am very happy. I hope that after taking this medicine, the emperor will be full of energy and be more adept at handling state affairs. I will also continue to work hard to do my part for the emperor and the country.
Jiang Yimo knew the old emperor's temper very well, and she went to great lengths to get him to accept her medicine.
Just now, when she was on her way to Chaoyang Palace, she carefully organized her words so as to please the old emperor just right without appearing too flattering.
Jiang Yimo chose her words carefully, and every sentence was carefully considered. Her voice was soft and sweet, as beautiful as the song of a nightingale. She tried her best to make the old emperor happy, hoping to see his expression of great joy.
However, at this moment, Jiang Yimo couldn't help but feel nauseous.
She knew that what she said was somewhat against her will, but she had to do so in order to achieve her goal.
She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and continued to speak those flattering words in a sweet voice.
Her expression seemed sincere, but in fact it concealed a deep sense of helplessness.
But she told herself that all this was to achieve her goal and to obtain more information in the library.
Finally, thanks to her efforts, the old emperor showed a satisfied smile on his face. Jiang Yimo was secretly happy and felt that the time was ripe.
