The Empress gently lifted her gaze, looking towards Qin Yu and the Empress Dowager, an unmistakable worry in her eyes.
"I will accompany her."
Watching Qin Yu sit there as if carved from wood, the Empress rose and moved closer, then attempted to help the Empress Dowager to the bed.
However, the Empress Dowager tightly held onto Qin Yu's arm, refusing to budge.
"Your Majesty, shall we...leave it like this?"
Qin Yu smiled helplessly, as his arm involuntarily sank into the heavy trust due to the Empress's actions.
He caught the subtle change in the Empress's expression.
But this truly wasn't his fault; he hadn't moved one bit. To be blamed for anything, it could only be the Great Phoenix's overwhelming majesty?
It was truly agonizing.
Why test him in such a way?
The Empress knit her brows, eager to rouse the Empress Dowager, but looking at her somewhat tired yet exquisite face, she just couldn't bring herself to do it.
