Chapter 194: Emperors Regal Disdain (1 / 2)
The imperial decree was delivered to the Jin Prince’s residence.
Seated in his wheelchair, the Jin Prince pressed his temple with one hand, his knuckles pale from tension.
On his lap lay the imperial edict he had just received. The decree was brief and straightforward: he was ordered to escort Prince Fu, who was currently en route to the capital under custody.
And then…
Suddenly, a pair of hands gently massaged his temples, applying soft pressure. From behind him came the Jin Princess Consort’s gentle voice: “My lord, is there some difficult task you must undertake?”
The Jin Prince’s voice was hoarse as he replied, “It’s nothing. His Majesty has instructed me to escort Prince Fu.”
He turned, pulling the Princess Consort to sit beside him.
“You are seven months along now. Be careful in everything you do. Once I leave, you must never go anywhere without someone accompanying you…”
He continued to caution her: “I know you often go out to practice medicine, but now that you’re seven months pregnant, put it aside for now. Wait until after the child is born and you’ve completed your confinement period to resume.”
