Capítulo 260: Imploring Notions

The next day.

After receiving constant reports all day about the Empress dowager refusing treatment and food, the Emperor finally gave in under Eunuch Li's pleading gaze and went over to see her that evening. 

He arrived in her room to find the Empress dowager still lying on her bed with the same bloodstained clothes from the night before, looking pale and miserable. The Emperor felt bad seeing her like this, but then she opened her mouth and spitefully spat out, "You ungrateful son!"

And with that statement, the Emperor's feelings of pity flew out the door, "If that's all you have to say, then I'm leaving." He said turning to leave.

"Stop!" The Empress dowager went as she pushed herself off the bed and ended up crumbling to the ground. The Emperor stopped, turned back to her, and then let out a breath, and then went over, picked her up and sat her down on the bed.
