He looked down at the hand the Empress offered him. It was like a jade carving—fair and delicate, like a shy lily of the valley.
Zhou Cangyan hesitated before slowly reaching out his hand...
"Ah! Princess Consort, what's wrong?"
Hearing the cry of alarm from behind him, Zhou Cangyan decisively dropped his hand and immediately turned to see what was happening.
Song Lianhe froze.
She stared at him blankly, as if in that instant she didn't recognize him at all.
Chun De frowned as well.
Song Xilan had fainted. Thankfully, Kong Qing was there to catch her. Zhou Junlin also rushed over anxiously to check on her. "Lan'er?"
Zhou Cangyan only turned to look. Though he didn't step forward, the concern in his eyes was impossible to hide.
"Doctor Song! Get over here and check on the Princess Consort!"
Kong Qing roared at Song Lianhe.
Chun De's face immediately hardened with displeasure.
