The King of Su, Ru Fang, looked the part of someone who had been in a coma for the last couple of years.
His skin was sallow and stuck tight to the bones of his face. He must have been a handsome man once, but the poison had sapped all of his vitality away. Now, he most closely resembled a walking corpse.
Maybe now that he was awake, and eating solid foods once again, he'd recover some of his lost energy, but somehow Chu Yun doubted it.
Looking down at the King of Su from his throne next to Xiao Zai's, he thought the old King would never be the same again.
Next to King, the Queen Consort and the Third Princess were kneeling on the ground in supplication. A needlessly humiliating display -- since they had been treated with nothing but courtesy and no one was blaming them for Ru Long's actions.
