The man in black was taken aback.
"Why are you crying? You're not dead yet, are you?"
"As a dignified Concubine, my personal maid has been locked up, and I don't even have anyone to pour me tea or water, so I have to rely on a stranger like you to bring me water." Concubine Xu felt so aggrieved that she couldn't catch her breath between sobs.
Already frail and weak, she now seemed even more delicate.
The man in black initially thought it was something serious; she's crying over this trifle?
"What's this about? Drink your water quickly."
Concubine Xu wiped away her tears with difficulty and said weakly, "I'm already this miserable, and you still scold me?"
"I'm not scolding you, just drink." The man in black handed the teacup to Concubine Xu's lips, softening his voice slightly.
Lacking the strength in her hands, Concubine Xu drank a few sips of water with the assistance of the man in black.
Not until Concubine Xu pulled away did the man in black ask, "Had enough?"
