章 112: The knife cuts too deep 1

The Imperial Palace of Northern Wei, the Eastern Palace.

Zhongshan Longwei massaged the space between his eyes gently as he flipped the page over. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he stiffened a yawn. 

It was getting hotter by the minute, he leaned back on the seat, gently resting his head on the back of the seat as his vision blurred.

At this point, there was no way he could continue reading this book. The spirit was willing but the body was not. 

He shut his eyes and took a deep breath, gradually controlling his breathing until it was slower. The dull headache at the back of his head began to let down.

His attendant's arrival made him open his eyes. He blinked and sat forward, "has she settled in?" 

"Yes, your royal Highness".

Zhongshan Longwei looked down at the open book and sighed, "good," he shut the book and set the book aside.
