The Empress panted in shock. She mustered her courage and came to the bed again. Looking at the Emperor's gaze, she frowned. "His Majesty, can he hear us?"
Eunuch Li nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty."
The Empress's expression changed. "Then our matter is…"
Eunuch Li said, "I said that His Majesty can't move or speak, so Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about His Majesty overhearing."
