If he didn't leave now, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist the urge to cut off Gu Chao's head!
Although, he deserved it!
"Your Majesty —— the Consort Dowager ——"
Nurse Cai uttered a miserable shriek.
The Emperor swiftly turned around, only to see Consort Dowager Jing with a pallid face, trembling like a withering autumn leaf about to fall.
With tearful eyes, she took one last look at the Emperor before falling unconscious.
The Emperor rushed forward to catch her, clutching her emaciated body and cried out desperately: "Mother Consort! Mother Consort! Summon the royal physician ——"
Only in the late night did Consort Dowager Jing regain consciousness.
The Emperor was reviewing memorials in his study, with the old Marquis kneeling in front of him.
Without deciding on the appropriate punishment yet, leaving him to kneel in the courtyard was too humiliating, it would discredit the royal family!
