Hou Residence, the bedroom of Yao Wenqi, where Zhe Yu had been keeping vigil. He didn't look at his father who had taken his medicine and gone to sleep but gazed out of the window instead. Although spring had arrived and a hint of greenery was visible in the courtyard, his heart felt icy cold.
Zhe Yu finally understood why the Emperor had been ignoring him. It turned out that the root cause was his bloodline. As long as the blood of the Yao clan flowed in his veins, he would never be favored.
Yao Wenqi had been awake for some time. During the early court meeting, he had indeed felt a moment of darkness before his eyes but had not fainted; he merely went with the momentum, returned to the Residence, summoned a doctor, took the medicine, and slept until the afternoon.
