Zhai Tianyu did not say anything to Ji Yu, he did not want to face her tears by asking ugly questions at this moment. He still needed to go to the imperial graveyard and then stand by Liu Hui Ying lest everyone thought that she was not supported by him or that she was just an empress in the name.

” When will her majesty wake up?” He further asked Imperial physician Shao, he wanted to know just how long this fake sickness was going to be dragged on though inwardly Zhai Tianyu was annoyed on the surface he looked at his grandmother with an expression that was full of concern as if he couldn’t even withstand the sight of his grandmother falling sick like this.

Imperial physician Shao glanced at the ‘unconscious’ Grand Dowager Empress and then hesitatingly answered the question, ” Her majesty fell unconscious because her body was stressed as long as she takes enough rest, I am sure she will wake up soon.”

” Oh,” Zhai Tianyu nodded as if he understood what the Imperial Physician Shao was trying to say and then after much thought, he added, ” I think that we should all leave her majesty to rest then, I will go and attend the Liu family’s ceremony, I am sure by then her majesty will be awake and then we will go and pay our respects to Lord Ji who passed away in an unfortunate assassination.”

With that he turned around to leave, seeing that Zhai Tianyu really had no intention of stopping the grand dowager Empress gritted her teeth, she made such a big show to stop Zhai Tianyu from going to Liu Fei Fei’s funeral ceremony, she wanted Liu Hui Ying to pay respects to Liu Fei Fei alone such that she will be able to recover some of the lost face because of the incident of Ji Meng and the others if Zhai Tianyu was to leave now wouldn’t her entire hard work go down the abyss?

As the grand dowager Empress thought about it, she realised that she could no longer put on the unconscious act anymore, but waking up as soon as Zhai Tianyu turned to leave seemed to be a bit too coincidental.

In the end, she did what she thought was the only thing she thought was right.

” Kang Kang!!!” With a loud screech, Grand Dowager Empress woke up from her bed, her eyes crazy and wild as her hand stretched to the heavens, she kept calling the name of the previous Emperor and her son as she sobbed and asked for forgiveness.

” Your majesty!”

.....

” Your majesty, the Grand Dowager Empress!”

Both Ji Yu and the imperial physician Shao screamed as they tried to calm the Grand Dowager Empress down, it was as if the latter really lost her mind and was on the verge of losing her life.

Seeing them act like this Zhai Tianyu felt his head throb, he truly wanted to ask his grandmother whether or not she loved his father or did she thought of him as a chess piece till the end. How can she even use the name of his father to make her act look realistic? How can she not understand the fact that the dead should be allowed to Rest In Peace?

Though Zhai Tianyu had a lot of complaints, he still put on a worried look and turned to rush back as he helped the Grand Dowager Empress together with Ji Yu. The more he acted, the more he thought that he was becoming one of his scheming concubines, was this something an Emperor was supposed to do?

” Grandmother calm down,” he pushed Grand Dowager Empress onto the bed and then covered her with a blanket with a very worried expression on his face, he turned to look at Imperial physician Shao and then chided him angrily. ” What are you doing? Her majesty is like this and you are standing aside watching a show? Why don’t you help her? Or is it that you don’t want to help her? Should I take care of you and your family since you are so useless?”

Imperial physician Shao felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, the Grand Dowager Empress was pretending and so was the Emperor and as their loyal servant he was the one who was suffering the most.

In the end, he could only lower his head and apologize before taking out a calming incense and then lighting it up. Fortunately, the Grand Dowager Empress seemed to have acted enough, once the calming incense was lit up, she stopped sobbing after a few minutes and then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu with tears in her eyes and said, ” Ti...Tianyu, you are here?”

“I am here, your majesty,” he answered the grand dowager Empress before picking up a cup of tea and then helping her to take a few sips of water. Seeing that her grandson was still filial to her, the grand dowager empress heaved a sigh of relief and then put on an aggrieved look on her face. ” Ah, I was supposed to go to Ji Xianglan’s house and pay respects to him today but looks like my old body had another plan.”

She turned to look at Zhai Tianyu and then with a sigh added, ” Tianyu if you do not mind will you go with Ji Yu and attend the ceremony in my instead? Tell Xianglan that his aunt is sorry and couldn’t come to pay him respects as her old body is no longer as capable as it once was.”

Zhai Tianyu took a sip of the water from the cup that he was holding and then licked his lips, he seemed to be hesitating but when he saw his grandmother’s face that was pale and sickly, his eyes turned sad and he pretended to open his mouth as if he was agreeing but then suddenly he dropped the cup in his hands and covered his mouth as he gagged like he was going to throw up.

Imperial physician Shao: “.....” wow, his majesty was pregnant. What a miracle.
