The Emperor had held the throne with prestige and authority these years, controlling the country of Daliang. His words carried exceptional weight, and no one dared to defy him. In his mind, naturally, no one would dare to fool him.
Unexpectedly, his beloved Imperial Concubine, whom he had doted on for years, turned out to be a pawn of others. The Pingxi General Residence, that he had trusted, was secretly harboring ulterior motives.
He was so angered that he fainted, becoming seriously ill to his very core, even bedridden.
This came as quite a shock. The person who had seemed robust in health unexpectedly couldn't withstand such a blow.
The Duchess, unable to bear parting with her son, listened to Zhou Gu's words and said to him, "If it's just a delay of two days, then let's wait two more days."
Zhou Gu nodded his head. He didn't have any other choice but to wait.
