Chapter 3
Qi Junmu's head felt heavy and muddled. His eyes were tightly shut, his consciousness bobbing between waking and sleeping. He couldn't open his eyes, and his whole body was weak, yet he was clearly aware of what was happening around him.
He knew that the Empress Dowager had asked Bai Feng about his current condition. He also heard her sternly scolding the palace maids and eunuchs attending him, saying they had been negligent in their duties, letting the Emperor fall this ill without even noticing. She also said that if anything happened to the Emperor, she would have them all buried with him.
