章 264: Sharing

Nianzu skipped breakfast as he wanted his mother to wake up first. Han Wenji told Nianzu to have a meal, but he refused. Eunuch Jin came to the Emperor and whispered something in his ear. "I have some urgent work. Inform me when Lady Hui will be awake," Han Wenji asserted. Nianzu bowed and stayed in that position until the Emperor walked out of the room. 

Once the Emperor left, Nianzu lifted his head and looked at Chuntao. "Why is she taking so much time to wake up?" Nianzu worriedly asked. 

"Your highness, it's because of the medicines," Chuntao replied and looked at Deng Hui, who had opened her eyes. 

"Your highness, the Virtuous Lady is awake," Chuntao jumped in happiness. Nianzu quickly looked at his mother and sat on the stool beside the bed. 

"P-Prince Nianzu," she murmured and tried to get up. Nianzu helped his mother while Chuntao put some pillows behind her back.
