Chapter 1841: Chapter 1841: The Completely Sidelined Emperor Chapter 1841: Chapter 1841: The Completely Sidelined Emperor “There’s no need to worry about external affairs for now, focus on your cultivation,”
Zimo considered for a mont and then spoke.
“Hmm.”
Lin Caisang nodded in agreent.
“Now that you’ve co to Lianxinmai, you shouldn’t leave temporarily. As for matters concerning the Emperor, I will arrange everything. Just focus on your cultivation here,”
Had the Jinchu Space not been restricted to only a few people, she would have wanted to pull Zhe Jue and the others along to cultivate in Lianxinmai, which would definitely have sped up their progress.
“I’ll leave external matters to you,” Zimo said, looking at her.
“That’s not a trouble at all,”
Lin Caisang didn’t mind at all, knowing that even without her, Zhe Jue and the others could handle things well on the outside.
…
Inside Prince Mo’s Mansion, tranquility ensued as always.
Only after several prompts from the Emperor’s side did Lin Caisang send a large amount of so-called antidotes that she had prepared into the palace.
However, the dicine required daily tid brewing and had to be taken on schedule.
It was only after two months of following this regin that the Emperor could barely walk on his own, which marked the detoxification complete.
Before that, the Emperor could hardly do anything.
The state politics continued to be dominated by Wei Zilin and his uncle. The Emperor could only watch anxiously, powerless to act.
He internally cursed Zimo and everyone at Prince Mo’s Mansion thoroughly, but cursing changed nothing. He continued to lie in bed, as helpless against Zimo, Wei Zilin, and the others as ever.
…
In the blink of an eye, several months passed.
The Emperor remained the sa, prone to cursing, but the court of Wei State was no longer as it was.
A great portion of power was now in the hands of Wei Zilin, the Empress, and his uncle.
Now, every step the Emperor took could potentially be monitored by the people the Empress sent, who would report to Wei Zilin, and at court, all officials followed Wei Zilin’s lead.
This Emperor, having spent just a few months bedridden, had been thoroughly stripped of power.
“Mother, are you not going to intervene in the affairs between Lin’er and the Empress?”
The idle Emperor, visiting the Empress Dowager’s palace, looked displeased as he questioned his mother.
Now, only if the Empress Dowager stepped forward could the power swallowed by the Empress and Prince Lin be spat back out to him.
But regrettably, the Empress Dowager seed oblivious to the recent changes in the court and took his concerns lightly.
“Everything is fine as it is. Lin’er is doing well. Emperor, you should rest,”
The Empress Dowager, holding so flowers and preparing to arrange them herself, remarked casually to the Emperor.
“Moreover, given how long you were poisoned, you should focus on recuperating. We should not let the old poison relapse. I believe you should not overwork yourself with state affairs. Prioritize your health,
As for previous matters, let Lin’er handle them for now. If he cannot manage well, I am still here,
There won’t be any mishaps,”
“Mother, what do you an by this?”
Hearing his mother’s words darkened the Emperor’s face imdiately.
Listening to her, it seed she still supported Lin’er and did not wish to return the control of the state to him. How could this be acceptable? He was the Emperor, the ruler of Wei State, the true dragon, the Son of Heaven! How could he remain in such a passive state?
