Imperial Palace.
Yangxin Hall.
Changning Emperor's gaze slowly swept over the Shouyang Ginseng presented by Ji Mingyuan.
He then extended his hands, the frail arms trembling slightly, an obvious sign that his hands were devoid of any strength.
Yet the outstretched hands remained steady.
He took the Thousand-year-old Shouyang Ginseng handed by Ji Mingyuan and took a bite, slowly chewing it.
Afterward, a faint flush appeared on the Changning Emperor's face, and his demeanor immediately improved.
He looked at Jiang Ning, then at Ji Mingyue, and finally at Ji Mingyuan.
"Yuanyuan, stand guard outside. Without my orders, no one is to enter."
Ji Mingyuan paused, glanced at Jiang Ning and the Changning Emperor, and then nodded in response.
"Yes, father!"
With these words, he glanced at Jiang Ning and Ji Mingyue once again, turned, and quietly closed the room door as he exited.
"Shiqi, where is Chief Manager Hai?" asked the Changning Emperor.
