zChapter 1043 - After Obtaining It, I Don’t Like It Anymore (2/2)
Without waiting for Feng Yuheng to reply, Xiao Bao ran up and being close to Feng Yuheng, he called out without prompting: “Older sis, older sis.” Then jumped over to hug Feng Yuheng’s leg.
Fendai did not know whether to laugh or cry, only saying: “In the end, you raised him for some time, this child is closer to you than to me.” Saying this, she walked up and pulled Xiao Bao’s hand, saying softly: “Xiao Bao, Second sister is busy, let’s not bother Second sister. Let’s go, older sister will bring you to eat fruit.” After saying this, she forcefully pulled Xiao Bao, who was reluctant to leave Feng Yuheng and left this area.
Watching that one big and one small figure walking away, she could not help but ask: “Second sister, do you think that Fendai grew old? She’s no longer like the domineering girl from a few years ago.”
Feng Yuheng said: “Thinking about too many things, humans would naturally age quickly. It’s not just Fendai who has grown old, me, you, all of us are no longer who we were in the past.”
As they spoke, a palace staff entered the hall from outside, came in front of the Empress, bowed and said: “Informing Your Highness the Empress, at the Jade Hall, His Majesty and Her Highness Yuan Shu have taken their seats. This Servant then came to Jing Ci Palace to invite you over!”
With one sentence, the Empress did not react much, but Xuan Tiange disliked it, asking on reflex: “Why did the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu take their seats first? Which country’s rule is this? The Empress is still sitting here, since when is it Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu’s turn to go first with the Emperor in this sort of event?”
That palace staff quickly spoke: “Please calm down, Princess Wuyang, all of this was arranged by His Majesty, This Servant is only responsible for passing the message, This Servant hopes that Princess would not give me too much trouble.”
Xuan Tiange scoffed coldly and did not say anything else. In fact, in the past, when she spoke in the palace, no one would dare to prevaricate in such a tone, but it was truly different now. But it made sense after thinking about it, the mother of the nation, the Empress, had fallen to this state. She was only the Princess of a royal family, how did that count for anything?
The Empress did not say anything else and led everyone towards Jade Palace, and Feng Yuheng was pulled to her side to accompany her. On the way there, she said softly to Feng Yuheng: “Ah-Heng, can you find a way to ask Imperial Concubine Yun to leave Winter Moon Palace? This One thinks that the Emperor’s illness has moments of good and bad. Last night he suddenly remembered Zhang Yuan, that’s why he was taken out of the Department of Guilty Servants. This One is thinking, Imperial Concubine Yun has been in the Emperor’s heart for so many years, it is possible that once she shows herself, the Emperor would remember everything in the past, and will not be this muddle-headed anymore.”
Listening to the Empress’ words, Feng Yuheng sighed inwardly while feeling troubled. Imperial Concubine Yun was not even in the palace now, how can they talk about appearing to see the Emperor! But she could not say this to the Empress directly. After all, Imperial Concubine Yun leaving the palace was a secret and could not be known by anyone in the palace. Therefore, she only said: “Father Emperor’s symptoms are very tricky, it is not that simple as remembering a person after seeing them. Ah-Heng can understand Your Highness the Empress’ feelings, but if Father Emperor can really remember Zhang Yuan and continue to do so after that, then Zhang Yuan would not be at your side now, right?”
She did hit the nail on the head, and the Empress no longer had anything else to say. The Emperor’s illness being sometimes good and sometimes bad is a fact, almost chasing Zhang Yuan back to the Department of Guilty Servants was also a fact, if Imperial Concubine Yun appeared and ended up like this, Imperial Concubine Yun might be in danger as well. She became fearful after this, regretting the fact that she raised this idea. It was lucky that Feng Yuheng did not agree, else she would have likely harmed Imperial Concubine Yun.
And currently, Feng Yuheng was thinking of something else. That day when she moved the Emperor into her Space to do a full physical examination, the results had came out a long time ago, but there were no abnormalities. Even the black line which had appeared in the Emperor’s chest did not reveal any problems. It was as if the black line was only drawn on the skin. But Feng Yuheng knew very well that the line was not on the skin, but within the blood and muscle.
Problems could not be found with the most scientific methods, that was the unique point of Gu infliction. But because of this, as a divine doctor from the future, she was unable to do anything about this illness. Did they really have to find a Miao villager? But, where do they find one?
Everyone had their own thoughts and they finally reached Jade Hall. Looking up, Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu and the Emperor were already sitting side by side, toasting their cups, looking just like a loving couple. Today, Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu put a lot of thought into her clothes, purple red court clothing, looking completely majestic, even an eastern pearl was hanging on her head ornament, giving her an oppressive aura.
Xuan Tiange was unhappy again, mumbling softly: “Why is she sitting on the Empress’ seat?”
Feng Tianyu said: “I heard that there will be a huge announcement during today’s banquet, could it be……”
