Chapter 888: Chapter 887: People, It’s No Good Anymore

Long Xinghe reined in his thoughts and looked up, his gaze accidentally colliding deep into his profound eyes.

There, they were clean and bright, clear and thorough, making one feel particularly comfortable with just a glance.

If possible, she truly did not want to involve him in any vortex.

"Ali said that the Imperial City has been unstable lately, with various forces poised to make their move, and because you and Prince Xuan have such a good relationship, it is not certain they won’t target you..."

"No matter what, I personally crafted this ring. If you appreciate my kindness towards you, please do as I say just this once. From now on, no matter what you eat or drink, test it for poison first, okay?"

"Okay." Feng Wuya nodded without a moment’s hesitation.

Long Xinghe sighed with relief.

"Alright, I’m still busy. You should go refresh yourself and have breakfast." she said.

Instead of leaving, Feng Wuya took a seat beside her.

"Wuya..."

"As this idle Prince, I always have nothing to do all day, I... I’ll help you."

Seeing her eyes brimming with bloodshot, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Tell me what to do, I’ll do it. You should rest for a while."

"It will dirty your hands..."

"In your eyes, am I really such a useless person?" Feng Wuya’s eyes darkened.

Long Xinghe smiled helplessly: "That’s not what I meant. It’s just that I can’t bear to dirty your hands. Look, your hands are so beautiful."

They were truly beautiful, beautiful enough to make one want to cherish them for a lifetime.

Feng Wuya ignored her and picked up the things on the table, imitating her movements, diligently working on the items.

Long Xinghe did not stop him, and was about to ask Jiang Tao to bring him hot water to wash up when, unexpectedly, the person who came was not Jiang Tao but Tie Xin.

"Prince!"

Tie Xin hurried over, his face filled with panic: "Prince, the Empress Dowager, she... she..."

"What about the Empress Dowager?" Feng Wuya jumped, the item in his hand clattering loudly onto the table.

Tie Xin urged: "Prince, quickly get ready and rush to the palace! The Empress Dowager... she’s in critical condition!"

...

Just as Chu Qianli had said, the Empress Dowager was of advanced age, and her health had deteriorated severely over the years. She was now reaching the end of her life.

It was a life that would not last much longer.

Even Chu Qianli, urgently summoned by the Emperor to perform acupuncture to invigorate the Empress Dowager’s blood, proved useless.

That day, Chu Qianli stayed by the Empress Dowager’s side the entire day until evening came.

"Emperor, I truly am powerless. You all... might as well spend time with the Empress Dowager."

The eunuch named Qing kept his head down, his eyes filled with wetness.

The Emperor’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed. In the end, he could only nod: "Miss Chu, please stay in the Empress Dowager’s sleeping quarters tonight."

"Alright."

The Empress Dowager might not survive the night, and it was uncertain whether Chu Qianli would be needed, but in reality, Chu Qianli had already made it clear that even if they sought her help, it would be futile.

But the Emperor felt that having her present provided some sense of security.

An indescribable sense of security.

The eunuch named Qing ordered someone to prepare a room in the west wing of the Empress Dowager’s sleeping quarters for Chu Qianli to rest in.

As for the Emperor and the Princes, they all went to accompany the Empress Dowager.

However, the Empress Dowager was not one who enjoyed bustling company, and thanks to the few needles Chu Qianli had administered, she seemed to be in slightly better spirits now.

But according to Chu Qianli, this was merely a fleeting resurgence, which would not last long.

After midnight, the Empress Dowager did not wish to have company and only left the maid named Jin, who had served her for many years.

Even the maid named Yao was sent away.

The maid named Jin knelt by the bedside, knowing the Empress Dowager had something to say. She whispered: "Empress Dowager... everyone has left, what do you wish to say?"
