After a while, the ajar door opened, and it was Concubine Mi, followed by several maids, holding steaming imperial meals and braziers.
The new emperor was still sitting on the chair with his eyes closed.
The brazier is close.
It was as if a red flame exploded in front of his eyes. He was suddenly frightened, opened his eyes suddenly, and shouted: "What are you doing?"
His voice was hoarse, his hair was messy, and his eyes were blood red.
Concubine Mi was shocked and immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty... I am my concubine, I am sending you a brazier and royal meal..."
The new emperor's expression softened slightly and he said calmly: "The family law of our ancestors is that braziers are not allowed in the palace. Don't you know?"
"But, Your Majesty, your body is too weak. It has been freezing cold these days. I am afraid that you will not be able to bear it. Besides, besides... the late emperor also lit a brazier in the palace..."

Everyone retreated.
The room was once again cold, with only the royal meal on the table emitting a hazy heat.
The great eunuch Wang Ju next to him reminded him conscientiously: "Your Majesty, please eat first, you must take care of the dragon body... Now, there are many things, thousands of things, each one, waiting for your decision, you
But we must not fall."
He sighed and ate something hastily, but everything that entered his throat was bitter and hard to swallow. Too many things had happened recently, which caught him off guard.
Late at night.
All the ministers waiting in the outer hall were dismissed, and everyone who had been busy for a day fell into a deep sleep.
Only in the Li Zheng Hall, there were palace people on both sides. Everyone held their breath and concentrated, and no one dared to make any noise.
