For the next few days, Li Xun remained at home, recuperating.
Li Ji locked himself in his room, refusing to come out.
He ignored anyone who knocked on his door.
Gao Shan could only have someone place his meals at the door.

In truth, everyone knew deep down that the dead could not be revived. The Princess Consort was never coming back to life.
But no one dared to tell the Prince that.
