Xiaoming gradually opened his eyes and heard Jin Yu's voice. His brows furrowed as he felt his body weak, but he could hear the voice of his wife Peng Yuxian.
After a while, the voices stopped and he felt Jin Yu's hand above his. "Your Majesty," she whispered and placed her other hand on his cheek, "please open your eyes."
It took time for Xiaoming to open his eyes when she helped him in sitting in a half-lying position. She took the water glass from the tray and brought it to his mouth.
Xiaoming sipped water and moved his head away. The servant took the glass from Jin Yu and stepped behind. Jin Yu wiped his lips using her thumb.
"Your Majesty, a healthy soup is prepared for you," Jin Yu said.
"I don't want to eat," Xiaoming said and kept his gaze away.
"Why?" Jin Yu's eyes filled with tears. "You didn't even take your meals in the morning," she said.
