The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1825

Gu Jiao's hands had long frozen stiff, her cheeks and lips numb from the cold, making her speech slurred: "Hei Fengqi, hang on a bit longer, Yunzhou is almost here!"

Hei Fengqi panted, gritted his teeth, and, holding up his shaking body, dashed towards the city tower of Yunzhou like an arrow——

...

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, snow fell all night in the Capital City of Zhan Country.

Yujin almost couldn't push open her door when she got up before dawn.

"Is the snow really this heavy? It's blocking the door... Someone come!" she called.

A rough-handled maid came over with a shovel, clearing the ice and snow from her door and pulling open the room door: "I was just thinking of shoveling the snow, never expected you to get up so early."

Yujin didn't blame her, it was indeed her own early rise. She glanced towards the direction of the south wing, and asked softly, "Has the young master woken up?"

The maid replied, "I don't think so, I haven't heard any noise."

Yujin nodded: "I understand, you can go about your work."

"Alright." The maid went to sweep the snow in the courtyard, her movements very light, not disturbing anyone.

In the south wing room, Shangguan Qing had woken up early. Last night, mother and son talked until very late; after midnight, Princess Xinyang couldn't resist the sleepiness brought on by pregnancy and fell asleep.

Shangguan Qing hadn't taken the antidote from the National Master Hall and suffered terribly from the poison in his body, unable to close his eyes even for a moment.

Of course, he didn't originally intend to close his eyes either.

He quietly watched Princess Xinyang beside him.

This was his mother, who had gone through hell at Ghost Gate Pass to bring him into this world after ten months of pregnancy.

She was very gentle.

Though she might have been very strict too, but he hadn't had the chance to experience it, right?

As the sky grew close to dawn, his increasingly uncomfortable body hinted at him to leave here as soon as possible.

"Faster than I thought..."

On the way here, he thought he had three more days; during dinner, he faintly felt there was only one day left.

But now——

He clutched his heart.

It was about to explode, he was almost unable to breathe.

"Brother."

Xiao Hen's low voice came from outside the door.

Shangguan Qing wanted to respond to him but was afraid to wake Princess Xinyang.

"I'm coming in," Xiao Hen said.

The door was pushed open, Xiao Hen stepped inside.

He saw Shangguan Qing sitting at the bedside, drenched in cold sweat, his face unnaturally pale, lips bluish, body shivering.
