Gao Zhan stroked his white beard and shook his head. “I’ve already tried my best to save her life. This body is already at the end of its rope, but she has a strong will to live and is unwilling to take her last breath. I used a golden needle to seal her acupoints and keep the last breath, but I don’t know when she will wake up.”

“Grandpa, what do you mean?” Gao Yang asked. He had been away from home for many years. Ever since he started his official career, he had been expelled from the Gao family and had not had any contact with the Gao family for many years.

“What I mean is that she might sleep forever and never open her eyes again, but,” he looked at Gao Yang, “just like the young master of the Ye family you treated. No one knows what she will be like after she wakes up.”

In other words, when Shen Miao woke up, she might become a fool like Ye Hongguang. However, there was a greater possibility that she would continue to be in the sleep state forever.

“Isn’t that…” Ji Yushu swallowed the words “living dead”. However, even if he did not say it, the people around him understood what Gao Zhan meant.

“In that case,” Gao Zhan asked Xie Jingxing, “Your Highness, are you still willing to wait?”

“It doesn’t matter how long it takes.” Xie Jingxing said, “She fulfilled her promise and waited until I came back. I’ll also wait for her to wake up. Without my permission, death can’t take her away.” As he spoke, his eyes were cold, and he actually had the coldness of Emperor Yong Le. However, he still carried a wildness that belonged to him.

Everyone was silent.

Shen Miao’s eyes were closed and she could not hear these voices. She seemed to be sleeping very soundly. Luo Tan said, “Go out. Let her rest. She hasn’t had a good rest for the past year.”

Xie Jingxing treated the twins very well.

When his subordinates and good friends, who had been with him for many years, saw the patience he had towards the twins, their jaws almost dropped.

Xie Jingxing could in no way be described as a gentle and patient person.

However, he really exceeded everyone’s expectations. He spent time with the two children every day and took care of them with great patience. The two children only had nicknames now, and they were both given by Xie Jingxing. One was called “Chu Yi”, and the other was called “Shi Wu”.

Everyone in the court knew about Emperor Yong Let s edict. Now that the world was peaceful and Xie Jingxing was about to ascend the throne, what about the empress?

Who should he choose to be the empress?

Shen Miao was still unconscious. She might not be able to wake up for the rest of her life. Even if she woke up, she might be a fool. Throughout history, there had never been an empress who was a fool.

Humans were fickle. Xie Jingxing was loyal to Shen Miao, but who could say for sure in the future?

When Luo Tan found out about this, she was very indignant. The Shen army had returned with the Daliang Dynasty’s army, but they had yet to reach Long Ye and didn’t know about what happened to Shen Miao. Therefore, as Shen Miao’s only family in Long Ye, Luo Tan did not want to see Shen Miao end up with nothing after doing so much..
