The Weiyang Palace seemed silent and bleak compared to before.
Winter had come, so Susu and Seven were not playing in the courtyard any more. It did not look so bustling when the gate was tightly shut.
The King walked inside and heard the sound of coughing. He was startled.
She caught a cold again? It seemed that every time he was here, her health was always in a terrible condition. She had never recovered, had she?
He raised his hands. He was about to knock at the door… but he finally put them down.
He just could not truly be concerned for the Queen after so many years of hatred. He turned around and walked away, leaving a trace of footsteps.
As he came to the outside of the Weiyang Palace, the King stopped walking. Somehow he did not feel like leaving at the moment.
The Empress Dowager happened to show up, and the King walked up to her. "Mom, what are you doing out here in the cold winter?"
