Hu Jingguo had prepared the medicine by midnight. He mixed the powder in the lukewarm water and stood up from the chair. Sheng Li was looking keenly at Hu Jingguo. "Your highness, please lift the Crown Princess slightly and open her mouth," Hu Jingguo humbly requested.
Sheng Li did what Hu Jingguo had told him. He placed his palm under Ying Lili's head and raised it a little. Hu Jingguo handed the porcelain cup to Sheng Li. He carefully helped Ying Lili in drinking the medicine. He placed her head gently on the pillow and wiped her lips.
"When will she wake up?" Sheng Li asked worriedly.
"It will take time. I cannot tell his highness the exact time," Hu Jingguo replied.
The Royal Physician, who was standing beside Hu Jingguo, opened his mouth to speak. "Your highness, I think it will take probably twelve hours or more for her highness to gain consciousness." Hu Jingguo nodded his head while Sheng Li looked at Ying Lili, who was still looking pale.
