In the bedroom.
Li Yu was sitting up in bed, looking weak and listless.
A maid knelt on the footstool by the bed, carefully feeding him porridge.
When he suddenly heard that the Regent King had arrived, Li Yu was so startled he couldn't catch his breath and broke into a fit of violent coughing.
The maid hurriedly put down the bowl and used a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
Li Yu swatted her hand away and scrambled to lie back down.
He instructed the maid.
"If the Regent King comes, just tell him I'm still unconscious."
If the Regent King hadn't forced them to repair the roads, he wouldn't have suffered this disaster.
'It would be a lie to say he didn't harbor any resentment toward the Regent King.'
But given the vast difference in their status.
There was nothing he could do to the Regent King. He could only feign unconsciousness, hoping to use the opportunity to give the Regent King a scare and see if he would still dare to torment them in the future.
