Chu Qianli ground the Heart-protection Pill into a powder and mixed it with water. She only managed to feed Feng Dingchu less than half of the pill before he vomited out the rest.
She kept vigil by his side through the latter half of the night.
As dawn was about to break, Feng Dingchu still hadn't awoken, but his parched and cracked lips were slightly moving.

"I am... your son, too, I... was also born to you..."
"I am... your son..."
Afterward, he just kept repeating this phrase: I am your son.
Chu Qianli inexplicably felt like crying and couldn't help but grab his hand, only to realize that his hand was constantly trembling.

Why would it be the Empress Dowager?
The Empress Dowager is his birth mother!
If the Empress Dowager, on her deathbed, still insisted on killing her son who had finally come to see her, how resolute was her desire to kill him?
