Chapter 219.1
“Your Majesty, what’s the matter?”
Feeling someone touch him, Emperor Jin’an finally realized that she had walked up to him and was trying to touch his forehead by tiptoeing.
His muscles tensed up suddenly; it had been deeply ingrained in him over the years to reject women’s touch. He reflexively wanted to push her away but inexplicably held himself back.
He remembered that he not only didn’t dislike her, but he even liked her.
He lowered his head to look at her; her fair complexion and soft red lips emitted a subtle fragrance that tantalized his senses, making him want to get closer, closer still. In her watery eyes, there was an anxious look, as if she was very concerned about his condition.
The empress.
It was evident that this body doted on her greatly, or else why would she be bestowed the title of empress?
Yaoniang didn’t notice the subtle scrutiny in the man’s eyes as she spoke, “You don’t have a fever, do you? Are you having another headache? Have some food first, and later I’ll give you a massage. Maybe we should call Imperial Physician Liu to take a look; you’ve been having frequent headaches lately.”
She chattered on and, holding his hand, led him to the table where a bowl of congee had already been prepared. The congee was thick, and the rice had burst open, making it look rich and delicious.
