Chapter 169: The City Wept (2)

After the Emperor returned to the palace, he didn't return to his senses for three whole days! After he recovered, he quickly issued three decrees!

The first one returned the rights of the Empress to her. When the Empress came out of the temple, she still wasn't aware of what had happened.

The second decree was to send elites to assist Zhen Xi Wang. He wasn't so hard hearted after all, since he allowed Zhen Xi Wang to use the majority of his troops to find the missing Gong Jue.

And the last imperial edict was the one that truly caused a great disturbance!

In a panic, he wanted to open his eyes but couldn't. Now, the moment he woke up, he didn't care where he was, but instead tried to search for Gong Yi Mo's shadow.

But the first thing he saw was actually his Imperial Mother!

"Imperial... Mother?"

After not speaking for a long time, his voice was hoarse and weak. However, the Empress heard him. She opened her eyes and saw that her son was awake! She immediately cried tears of joy!

"Che'er, you're finally awake! Someone come! Imperial Physician! Someone quickly call for the doctor!"

After the slight craze, Gong Che finally sat upright. Since he was still weak, the Empress fed him medicine as she told him what happened while he was asleep...
