Chapter 176 - 175: The Traitorous Concubine and the Worthy Empress 10
Hearing that Anning was not feeling well and had yet to call for the Imperial Physician, Prince Jin couldn’t even bother with his meal and immediately entered the inner chamber.
Anning was lying on the bed, her complexion pale, looking very weak.
Prince Jin’s heart ached at the sight of her.
He sat by the bed and reached out to touch Anning’s cheek: "Why didn’t you call for the Imperial Physician?"
Anning, clutching her chest, said, "Calling the Imperial Physician would be useless; this has been an ailment of mine since I was young."
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Prince Jin asked softly.
Anning, still clutching her chest, said, "My heart feels unbearably stuffy. Today, I heard that there is a drought in various parts of Jin Country, and upon calculation, it has indeed been quite some days since it last rained. Looking at the sky, it seems it won’t rain any time soon. I thought of the people being displaced, without food or shelter, and it made my heart distressingly suffocated."
Upon hearing Anning saying this, Prince Jin’s expression turned a bit unsightly.
He didn’t look at Anning but rose and left in a flurry.
After he left, Anning had someone lower the bed curtains and went to sleep peacefully.
For several days in a row, Prince Jin did not visit Qifang Palace again.
