Compared to your one-word king who oversees the military and political affairs of the twenty-seven prefectures in the North, the regent oversees all government affairs in the world.
Your Majesty is worthy of being a dragon or a phoenix among men. First, two generations of late emperors relied on you, and now your majesty has shown you great support.
From now on, when we are in the same palace and serve as ministers, we can rely on you, Your Highness."
Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Dezi who was smiling and flattering, and looked at the imperial edict in Xiao Dezi's hand.
"Your Majesty, please accept the order!"
"Cough cough...cough cough..."
Liu Mingzhi's face suddenly turned crimson and he began to cough. His body was shaky and he hurriedly held on to the chair beside him. Only then did the nervous girls heave a sigh of relief.
Xiao Dezi was also startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, raising his hand and gently patting Liu Mingzhi on the back: "My lord, are you okay? Don't scare us!"
Liu Mingzhi held the chair handle and slowly sat on the chair.
"Eunuch De, please forgive me for not being able to accept the order.
Liu Mingzhi was a foreign minister, so how could He De dare to occupy the position of regent in charge of national affairs and undermine Liu Mingzhi.
Please tell Your Majesty, Eunuch De, that the late Emperor showed great kindness to his old ministers. How dare Liu Mingzhi betray his trust and go back to Beijing to report on his duties in violation of the late Emperor's decree to guard the country?
Liu Mingzhi had no choice but to boldly resist the order.
Moreover, I have been infected with wind and cold since then, and my health is getting worse and worse. I am not in good spirits, and it is difficult to cure it with medicine and stone. The famous doctors are at their wits' end.
Now that the roads are blocked, traveling and traveling will definitely be tiring, and my body may not be able to bear it.
It is really difficult to return to Beijing to report on my work."
"this........."
Xiao Dezi looked at Liu Mingzhi's extremely ill face with a troubled expression and didn't know how to answer the question.
"Your Majesty, is it true that you can't go back to Beijing to report on your duties?"
"Ahem...uh huh...
Dear Eunuch, I am really powerless.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Xiao Dezi hesitated for a long time, looking at Liu Mingzhi's weak look, he nodded hesitantly: "My lord, take care of yourself, then we won't bother you.
There should be no delay in returning to Beijing to resume the decree."
"Have a safe journey, and I'm sorry to send you so far!"
"Princess, princess, ladies and gentlemen, let me take my leave."
The girls looked at their husband's sick face. Wuxia and Xiao Dezi looked worried and nodded calmly.
"Father-in-law, please go slowly. I won't send you far."
Liu Song hurriedly started to lead the way: "My father-in-law, please come this way!"
"Good work!"
After Liu Song led Xiao Dezi away, the girls hurriedly surrounded Liu Mingzhi.
"Husband, are you okay?"
"Husband, if you don't feel well, I'll go see a doctor right away."
Everything the girls said to me was full of worry.
"It's nothing serious. You go and make some medicine for me. I'll take a rest first."
"Okay, okay, we'll go right away."
The girls immediately rushed towards the backyard, and in the blink of an eye, only two maids were left waiting in the main hall.
Liu Mingzhi looked sadly at the dark sky covered with heavy snow, tightened the cloak behind him, and walked toward the inner courtyard with slightly staggering steps.
The figure is indescribably lonely.
This is your order!
Do you think Liu Mingzhi, without the royal seal, is so insignificant?
Alas, finally.
The love between you and me as a king and a minister will eventually come to an end.
