Empress Wei once admired the Emperor.
But the Emperor favored Mingzhu and even granted her daughter the title of County Princess, causing Empress Wei to lose hope completely.
Yet she had no right to behave capriciously; even if her heart was like ashes, she had to appear concerned when the Emperor was ill.
Seeing the Empress Dowager enter, she gave a curtsey and stepped aside.
"Grandmother, Father won't take his medicine and is being disobedient."
The young Crown Prince, still in his childhood innocence, was quite favored by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, so he spoke without much reservation.
The Empress Dowager patted his head, "Return with your mother first. Grandmother has something to discuss with your father."
The young Crown Prince instinctively looked at his mother, his eyes full of inquiry.
Empress Wei looked worried, "Mother, I'll wait outside the hall. Once you finish your discussion with the Emperor, I would like to massage him to relieve his headache."
