Zhao Rui raised her head, although there was still a pale complexion on her face, it was now tinged with a blush.

"Your Highness, please go in."

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, she stepped aside.

Li Chen shook Zhao Rui's hand, then strode into the room.

Zhao Xuanji followed closely behind.

This was the first time Zhao Xuanji had spoken to Zhao Rui since her defection.

"Did you wake the emperor up by bowing to him" Zhao Xuanji said faintly.

Zhao Rui lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhao Xuanji, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has the protection of heaven."

"I must say, I didn't expect this," Zhao Xuanji said with a meaningful look before entering with Li Chen.

Zhao Rui pursed her lips and, head bowed, exited the palace.

In the Qiany Qing Palace's bedroom, Li Chen saw Emperor Daxing...stand up.

He was wearing a fresh, bright yellow undergarment that could be both a nightshirt and underwear.

Li Chen was not unfamiliar with this outfit. The Taishang Emperor, lying on his sickbed, always wore something like this.

But this was the first time he had seen an emperor who was awake and standing after his time travel.

"Well now, meeting me and you've forgotten your manners"

The great emperor's face was still gaunt, even to the point of being skeletal, but his speech was extremely fluent and full of vigor, his eyes sparkling with life.

If not for his extremely thin frame, and if Li Chen didn't know the ins and outs of the situation, he probably wouldn't have imagined that the person in front of him was a man who had been lying in a hospital bed in a coma for over a year, barely clinging to life.

"Your son, greets his father."

Li Chen knelt down and bowed.

"I, Zhao Xuanji, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Behind him, Zhao Xuanji also knelt down.

Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, Emperor Daxing laughed and said, "Get up."

After the two of them stood up, Emperor Daxing suddenly said something out of the blue.

"Zhao Rui, not bad."

Li Chen furrowed his brow and replied, "The imperial concubine is always calm and reserved, indeed quite good."

The Great Emperor seemed to smile but not smile, his gaze falling upon Zhao Xuanji.

"The scheme, I've woken up."

Zhao Xuanji hung his hands down and remained silent.

"Enough."

The Great Emperor said calmly.

Zhao Xuanji bowed and said, "Your subject will obey your order."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow, he was about to speak, but Emperor Daxing waved his hand, silencing him.

"You shall withdraw your people and arrangements, and then return. I still have words to say to you."

Zhao Xuanji still bowed his head, kneeling on the ground and performing another bow before slowly withdrawing from the sleeping hall.

From beginning to end, Zhao Xuanji kept his head bowed. Li Chen couldn't see his face or expression at all.

After Zhao Xuanji left, Emperor Daxing sat down by the bed and looked at Li Chen, saying, “Chen’er, come here.”

Li Chen was a little uncomfortable with the title, and for a moment he didn't react. When he came to his senses, he walked before the great emperor.

"Father Emperor, I'm delighted to see your recovery." Li Chen said.

The Great Emperor, however, did not heed his words. He said: "You should be able to guess that I am a dying ember flickering back to life."

Li Chen pursed his lips and said nothing.

He had a lot to say, a lot of questions to ask, but at this moment, he didn't know where to begin.

"Zhao Xuanji..."

Li Chen had finally managed to organize his words when the Great Emperor interrupted him.

He is nothing to worry about.

"You did a great job."

The two sentences did not give Li Chen any closure, instead, they only left him more confused and perplexed.

"Father, he is plotting against me."
