Chapter 401: Young Master Ji Yunxi (3)
Song Jingchen walked out. His expression was much better, but his footsteps weren’t stable, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
"Eunuch Li, send him out of the palace."
Emperor Chong’an’s voice came from inside. Eunuch Li quickly agreed and personally helped Song Jingchen out of the palace.
On the other side of the palace path, a woman in red wearing a veil slowly walked over. Song Jingchen took a look and retracted his gaze.
That woman was not dressed as a palace concubine, nor was she any princess he had seen. However, she was heading towards the imperial study.
Eunuch Li seemed to have seen through his confusion and explained, "That’s Miss Ji. A while ago, His Majesty’s body was unwell. The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital gave him a prescription, but he hasn’t recovered. The old prince was worried about His Majesty’s dragon body, so he introduced this person to the palace."
The old prince that Eunuch Li was talking about was the late emperor’s only younger brother. The late emperor fought half of the war. By the time Great Xia was established, his parents had long passed away, leaving him with only his younger brother.
It was said that when a person achieved the Dao, they would ascend to the heavens. Wasn’t this the case when it came to the old king?
The late emperor immediately conferred him a title and a fiefdom. He even used the word "Xia", Emperor Xia.
Moreover, he was exempted from kneeling and there was no need to go to the fief. He was really in the limelight. Everyone was worried that this person would have ulterior motives. After all, Great Xia could not withstand the war back then.
