Prepared by my Mother

Nianzu woke up in the evening and felt weak. He heard the whispers and then the deep voice of the Royal Physician.

"Empress Dowager, the Prince is awake. The poison is removed from the body. However, the Fourth Prince will feel the weakness until he fully recovers."

Nianzu heard the Royal Physician talking to his mother. He tilted his head and found everyone from the family was present in the chamber. His eyes fell on Chuntao, who was seated on the chaise along with the Empress. His heart sank seeing the tears in her eyes.

He felt his head getting heavy and the figure of his mother appeared before him.

The sweets.

Something was weird in them. He wanted to speak, but the weakness was so much that he was unable to speak. He felt his throat getting drier with each second and somehow he managed to ask for water.
