Capítulo 188: The Trials

Xing fell asleep in the swing Shengli brought for her and she couldn't open her eyes even if she wanted to and her head felt heavy.

Is something wrong with me?

She went back to sleep when Shengli's voice brought her to consciousness and she felt a chilling hand touching her forehead and her whole body shuddered.

"Xing... Wake up"

"Xing... Please... "

"Xing"

Xing could hear his cries that reeked of despair but could not open her eyes and she could hear the angry bellow of Shengli,

"Is this how you treat your Empress?... Are you.... "

Is he shouting at the maids?

He was shouting some more but Xing couldn't hear it all and she went back to sleep.

When Xing came to after some time, she was in her bed with Shengli, with dark hair and in the Eunuch uniform, having a basin of water with a towel, sitting beside her on a stool watching her concerned.
