Late at night, the stillness was unbroken by a breeze, while the air was saturated with restless heatwaves.
Just walking this stretch of road had made Yan Wanqing so hot she was sweating profusely.
At this moment, every organ inside her was twisted with pain, yet her face couldn't betray any emotion.
It was with great difficulty that she was finally told the eunuch went in to report, and she was asked to wait outside for a while longer.
Yan Wanqing had no choice but to stand outside the hall and wait.
After waiting for half an hour, her undergarment was completely soaked through.
Leaning on the medicine Xiaoliu had given her to numb the wound's pain, she wondered if she could have continued standing without it.
"Commandery Princess, His Majesty summons you inside," the little eunuch came out and said to Yan Wanqing.
Yan Wanqing nodded at him, ascended the steps, and walked into the grand hall.
