"W-water," in a meek voice, Ying Lili asked for water. Her eyes showed the movements. Sheng Li, who was observing her closely, quickly poured the water into a porcelain cup. He lifted Ying Lili's head and helped her in drinking the water. Sheng Li's eyes were filled with tears when he heard Ying Lili's voice.
Wiping her lips, he waited for her to open her eyes. Ying Lili gradually opened her eyes and the first person she saw was Sheng Li. She passed a tiny smile to him and lifted her palm. Placing it on his cheek, she said, "I am f-fine." She caressed it for some time.
Hu Jingguo quietly stood up from the chair and walked out of the chamber, along with Court Lady Xu. The doors were closed behind them.
Sheng Li kissed her forehead and then cheeks. Leaning back he said, "You scared me to death." Ying Lili passed a tiny smile to him. Seeing Sheng Li in that state, even her eyes turned misty.
