*SECOND YEAR AS CROWN PRINCESS*
"Your Highness, you should take a rest. You have been here for three days."
Eunuch Huang held out a steaming cup of tea, which I accepted.
I sat by the Emperor's bed, leaning my head on the one hand resting against the chair's arm rest.
Though it was autumn, the coals that were burning in the heating plate made the room hot and stuffy. But there was no choice - Royal Father shivered without the heat.
I took a sip of the tea, wiping off the sweat beading on my forehead.
Having been awake for two days straight, I couldn't help but doze off in my seat.
Eunuch Huang headed over to the bed to change the wet cloth on the Emperor's forehead.
The old man had been feverish for the past three days. My heart ached to see Royal Father like this.
The Emperor had collapsed while walking in the Royal Gardens, causing mass panic and chaos through the Palace.
