“It’s time for dinner your majesty” a tall maid servant announced to the empress.
Empress Gu Zongying continued crying, even despite the fact that Cai Ruolan and Xie Peizhi were trying to calm her down.
“Dinner should go to hell!” she shouted at the maid servant. “Do you know who is ill?”
“Mother you can’t starve yourself, you have to take something okay? Father shall be fine. He works himself out too much, that’s just the reason why” Cai Ruolan tried to explain to her, but the Empress refused to listen to her.
“No Cai Ruolan, you don’t know how much I’m…”
“Mother, your crying will only make it worse, calm down!” Cai Ruolan continued. “I know how you feel, but you should be thankful that he’s alright, please don’t cry mother” she helped wiped the Empress’s tears with her hands, then helped her stood up.
