Soon, Li Ji had an audience with the Emperor.
In just two short days, Li Ji had lost a great deal of weight. His eyes were bloodshot, and it was clear he hadn't rested in a long time.
In fact, from the moment he learned Hua Manman had been kidnapped, Li Ji hadn't closed his eyes.
For the past two days, he had been rushing about, trying to find her as quickly as possible.
If the search didn't require physical strength, he probably wouldn't have even had the mind to eat a single bite.
The Emperor was naturally aware of all this.
He reminded him, "Finding her is important, of course, but you can't neglect your own health."
Li Ji replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I understand."
One look at him told the Emperor that Li Ji hadn't taken his words to heart.
The Emperor knew his personality well. Until Hua Manman was found, he wouldn't listen to a word anyone said.
So the Emperor changed the subject and asked about Lady Liang.
"What did Lady Liang say?"
