This statement was exceedingly clever. Without a single word of overt flattery, yet each sentence subtly implied a relationship of paternal affection and filial piety between Emperor Huian and Chu Heng.
Sure enough, Emperor Huian's Dragon Face lit up with great joy, and his gaze toward Chu Heng became even more tender, "Since it is good for Hengheng's health, your father will drink this cup, and the rest you should keep for yourself to drink!"
Chu Heng smiled, saying nothing.
Looking at his son's gaunt cheeks, almost devoid of any flesh, Emperor Huian sighed heavily in his heart, his gaze filled with affection tinged with a touch of guilt. Unable to refuse his son's filial intent, he picked up the cup and took a sip.
