He remembered Long Jingchen's words, and his expression instantly turned serious. He looked at the Empress and sighed and shook his head.
The Empress panicked at his posture. She grabbed the imperial physician's arm tightly and said in a harsh tone, "I'm asking you a question! What's wrong with His Majesty?"
The imperial physician trembled violently. Avoiding the Empress's gaze, he spoke softly, "The situation is not particularly optimistic."
As he spoke, he gently shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I am currently doing my best to treat you. The outcome will depend on Your Majesty's will..."
The Empress frowned deeply: "What do you mean by 'not very optimistic'?"
He shook his head, trying to avoid the Empress's gaze: "His Majesty's will to survive is very weak..."
He said that, but he was really panicking inside.
He muttered to himself: My Emperor, you've completely ruined me! This Empress is not someone who can be easily fooled.
The Empress's face turned deathly pale. She staggered back two steps, regaining her balance with the help of her maid. Looking at Yu Yi, she asked weakly, "How could this happen?"
The imperial physician shook his head: "This humble subject does not know either, but His Majesty seems to have lost some will to live..."
"I'm going to see him," the Empress said, and started walking into the room.
The imperial physician took the opportunity to step back, making room for the Empress.
Sang Jiang, Yang Qi, and the others followed the Empress inside.
As soon as the Empress entered, she rushed to Long Jingchen's bedside and hugged his hands tightly.
Looking at this scene, Sang Jiang felt a pang of pain in her heart. The place beside Long Jingchen used to belong only to her, but now it belonged to someone else…
She squeezed her eyes shut to force herself to hold back her tears.
The Empress, clutching Long Jingchen's hand, cried out, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong? Please open your eyes and look at me!"
Her response was nothing but Long Jingchen's complete lack of reaction.
The Empress stayed there until evening before being helped away by Lin Mama.
She didn't want to leave, but thinking about finding the mastermind behind the harm to Long Jingchen, she forced herself to go out.
No sooner had she left than Sang Jiang pounced on Long Jingchen's bedside.
Looking at Long Jingchen with his eyes closed, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She reached out and grabbed his hand, tears slowly dripping from her eyes onto his hand.
Long Jingchen didn't want to open his eyes, but feeling the burning tears on his hands, he couldn't help but open them.
As soon as Sang Jiang saw him open his eyes, she immediately pounced on him and hugged him tightly.
At this moment, she had forgotten about the previous dispute and only wanted him to get better quickly.
Long Jingchen was startled, then reached out and hugged her.
“Jiang Jiang…” His voice was very weak.
Upon hearing those two words, Sang Jiang froze completely.
He knows!
He actually recognized me!
For a moment, she forgot how to react, and just lay on top of him, whispering in his ear, "You knew all along?"
"Hmm." Long Jingchen's voice was still very weak. He chuckled and hugged Sang Jiang, saying softly, "Jiang Jiang, I recognized you from the first day you came here. Otherwise, why do you think I would look at you with such disdain? Jiang Jiang, I'm sorry!"
As soon as he said that, Sang Jiang struggled to get off him...
