These anxious days dragged on for more than a month, and Emperor Yongning still hadn't recovered; he was haunted daily by the fear that one of his sons might suddenly die.
He was especially worried about the Crown Prince and several other sons he thought highly of.
He couldn't accept anything happening to any of these sons.
"Your Majesty, if you can't figure it out, let's not dwell on it. Drink your medicine?" Xiao Lizi, seeing Emperor Yongning's worry, was heartbroken, "Your body really can't take this kind of strain."
Emperor Yongning glanced disdainfully at the bowl of medicine and waved his hand, "I won't drink it."
Damn medicine, he'd been drinking it for how long, and still had no color in his face, only getting worse. It might as well not be drunk.
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Lizi tried to persuade him again.
"Hmm?"
Emperor Yongning shot him a cold glare, scaring Xiao Lizi into immediate silence.
