"Bao'er, what else do you want? Just tell the Emperor directly, stop crying, alright?" The worry in Emperor Yongning's eyes was unmistakable.
Jun Ning seized this opportunity to achieve her goal of bringing her mother out of the Cold Palace. By rights, she had no reason to cry anymore, and she herself didn't want to continue crying.
But why was she still crying?
Because she had been crying for so long and so intensely that now her actions were completely beyond her control, and she couldn't stop even if she wanted to.
Only when she was exhausted from crying, utterly weary, and sleepiness overcame her did she close her eyes and fall asleep, ceasing to cry.
The tension in Emperor Yongning finally relieved a little, as he took a deep breath and freed one arm that was holding Jun Ning, using it to wipe away the tear stains at the corners of her eyes, and then gently patted her back to coax her further into sleep.
