"It's also possible that he's just too tired and needs a good, long sleep," Zhou Ying agreed. "Maybe he will wake up once he's well rested."
The Emperor sighed and left with the Empress, pulling Gu Chengxi aside to inquire about the details.
Meanwhile, Gu Wanning offered comfort. "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I believe Chengrui will be alright."
"I believe so too," Zhou Ying replied with a nod.
Learning that Gu Chengrui seemed to be deeply asleep, the Emperor turned to Zhou Ying. "Until he wakes, send someone to the palace twice daily with updates."
"Sure, Lin Yifan will handle it," Zhou Ying agreed.
"Don't hesitate to ask for help if needed," the Emperor nodded. "And most importantly, keep him safe."
"Understood," Zhou Ying replied.
"It's late. Get some rest. We'll return to the palace." The Emperor then left with the Empress. Zhou Ying had Gu Chengxi see them out.
