She understood that this hope was extremely slim, if healing were possible, Gu Jiao would not look this way.
"I need to think," Gu Jiao went to the study room.
Mrs. Nan didn't dare leave; she stayed in the eastern room watching over Gu Yan.
As night fell, family members returned to Bishui Alley one after another, and soon everyone knew about the worsening condition of Gu Yan.
The Yao Family wept bitterly.
Even Gu Xiaobao, who never cried, felt aggrieved and pursed his small lips, his large eyes brimming with glistening tears.
The Dowager Empress hurried over from the Imperial Palace.
She had only one request for Gu Yan, to stay alive, but now even this seemed like wishful thinking.
She sat by Gu Yan's bed, suddenly looking much older.
Huangfu Xian and Little Jingkong also arrived in the eastern room.
Huangfu Xian had not been living in Bishui Alley for long and thought he was an outsider, but seeing Gu Yan unconscious, he felt very sad too.
