"You don't need to plead for her. I spoiled her, letting her covet the throne, and even openly oppose me!"
"Father..."
"Don't say any more. I'm tired and need to take a nap..."
"Your Majesty, please sleep well. I will fan you." Concubine Gang said softly.
Zhao Xi walked to the outer hall and looked at Zhao Ying kneeling under the scorching sun outside. He felt a familiar wave of pain in his chest again. He slowly closed his eyes, and the overwhelming pain escaped inadvertently.
The eunuch beside him thought he was not feeling well and hurried to greet him.
He raised his hand and said in a daze, "Go and bring some ice basins to the princess."
"But as for Your Majesty..." The eunuch was a little embarrassed.
"I am with my father, go quickly!"
"I obey your command!"

As night fell, the imperial physician left. The maid fed Zhao Ying a bowl of summer-heat medicine, and then was driven out of the side hall by Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi sat beside the bed, looking at the unconscious Zhao Ying. The candlelight was dim, and its reflection on his face made him look a little dark and unclear.
After a while, he reached out his hand and covered her face.
Looking closely, the hand was shaking.
The moment they got close, Zhao Xi's breathing stopped and he closed his eyes uncontrollably.
At the same time, my heart was in turmoil and huge waves were surging.
He admitted it.
