Chapter 50 Fei Hua's Embarrassing Encounter

"What did you say?! Su Yuyao miscarried?!" Mother Yi asked in shock. "When did this happen?!"

"Your Majesty, I heard that Su Yuyao, being young and unaware of her pregnancy, miscarried due to her playful antics!" Guiyue replied, bowing. "Originally, this matter was kept very secret; even Su Yuyao herself was unaware, treating it as menstrual recovery. However… when Qinggan's confidant examined Su Yuyao's medical records, they discovered that the physician had used postpartum remedies. They then took the opportunity to examine the accompanying physician's prescription, thus confirming that Su Yuyao had indeed miscarried…"

"It's a pity... Although Zeyuan has a daughter, his health isn't good..." Mother Yi sighed. "However, it's not necessarily a good thing for Xuanfeng to have a child at this time. It's better that he doesn't......"

Mother Yi wiped her eyes and asked, "How is Su Yuyao's health?"

"I heard he's recovering very well, and Lady Qingyue is taking care of him."

"It must be hard on Qingyue, having to watch over Feihua and take care of Su Yuyao at the same time."

"Your Highness, why didn't you send someone to accompany them? Instead, you let Lord Xuanfeng arrange it himself. Lord Qinggan's information network isn't as efficient as before..."

"With such a deep rift between Xuanfeng and me, how could he possibly trust the person I sent? By the way, how's Qinggan doing?"

"Lord Qinggan has already secured ten hilltops in the southwest corner, and now they are full of temples. I heard that the incense is very prosperous!" Guiyue said with a smile.

Her mother sighed softly, rubbing her temples, and said, "Not a single good news! Go now, I need to go into seclusion."

Guiyue was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly retreated.

Yi's mother slowly got up, looked up at the Bagua diagram on the roof, walked to the center of the Bagua diagram, and sat down cross-legged.

She closed her eyes, focused her mind, calmed her breath, and gradually a deep blue void appeared before her.

Five primary world sources are rotating and floating in the void.

The blue General Source governs the due east, nourishing the Wuji Dao with its generative Qi to give birth to life; the red Monarch Source governs the center, clearing blockages in the Dao with its expelling Qi to stabilize the Wuji; the white Delicate Source, spread throughout the center and hidden behind the Monarch, governs the function of gathering and storing essence to nourish Qi; the black Source of Destiny governs the southeast and southwest, serving as the foundation for storing essence and establishing the root, and is the fundamental destiny in the Wuji Dao.

The greatest source of all things is the yellow source of granaries, where the powerful, thick earth merges with the energy of the other four sources of all things, nurturing nature...

...

"Aunt! I disagree! I will go and bring her back!" Xuanfeng said with a frown.

"Xuanfeng, I'm not asking for your consent, I'm informing you!" Qingyue said angrily. "Yao'er was originally Lord Qimeng's closed-door disciple, and should have stayed by his side to be raised! It's you who have selfish motives and won't let go!"

"Aunt! Every time the girl leaves my side, something bad happens! I will never let her leave me again!" Xuanfeng couldn't control his temper and retorted loudly.

Qingyue looked at the frustrated Xuanfeng and said softly, "Xuanfeng, have you thought about Feihua? Can Feihua leave you in her current state? She doesn't recognize anyone anymore, not even when Baiyan Fairy committed suicide..."

Qingyue paused for a moment, then continued, "Feihua only recognizes you! You stay with her through this difficult time, and once she's a bit more sober, then you can go and worry about Yao'er. Besides, what could possibly happen to Yao'er at the academy?"

"Your Majesty! Your Excellency! Come quick! The Fairy of Flying Flowers is causing trouble again!" Fangchun shouted loudly.

Xuanfeng and Qingyue rushed into the side hall, where they saw Feihua struggling naked in Fangchun's arms, crying, "Let me go! I want to have Xuanfeng's child!"

"Feihua!" Xuanfeng opened his arms and called softly, "I'm here!"

"Xuanfeng?" Feihua's eyes were no longer empty. She threw herself into Xuanfeng's arms. "You're finally back. Have you finished dealing with everything in Wuji Dao? Are you staying this time? When are we getting married?"

"Feihua, put on your clothes first," Xuanfeng coaxed softly.

"Wear clothes? Why?" Fei Hua's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and she shouted in a man's voice, "You're not allowed to wear clothes! Who gave you permission to wear clothes?! Stand up straight! Hahahahahaha..."

Feihua laughed loudly, making Xuanfeng grit his teeth.

"Not high enough! Bend over again! Hahahaha... Aren't you arrogant?..." Feihua began to tremble, her eyes filled with terror, before her voice returned to normal, "I'm scared... scared... no one... no one to protect me..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xuanfeng hugged Feihua tightly with tears in his eyes.

Feihua looked up, her terrified eyes fixed on Xuanfeng's face, and said in a child's voice, "Xuanfeng, you're finally back! You've come to take me home!"

Xuanfeng picked up Feihua and gently placed her on the bed. Feihua burrowed under the covers and said, "Xuanfeng, will you sleep with me?"

"Feihua, have you taken your medicine?"

"Oh, I still have to take my medicine..." Feihua sat up, took the medicine from Fangchun's hand, and drank it without hesitation.

After taking the medicine, Feihua finally calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.

"Xuanfeng, are you still going to bring Yao'er back?" Qingyue wiped her eyes and asked.

Xuanfeng looked at the sleeping Feihua and sighed, "Let the girl stay at the academy for now..."

"Yao'er, this is the courtyard where you will be staying. Bai Er has already tidied it up for you." Qi Meng said as he led Su Yuyao into a courtyard.

Su Yuyao slightly curtsied, "Yes, thank you, Immortal Master."

“If you need anything, go to Gong Meng. But you must not go to Meng Yu for anything, understand?” Qi Meng said sternly.

"Ah? Yes, Immortal Master!" Su Yuyao replied.

"Yao'er! I heard you're going to live in the academy..." Meng Yu ran in excitedly, but when she saw Qi Meng, she turned and ran out again.

"Meng Yu! You brat! You still dare to provoke Yao'er?!" Qi Meng cursed.

"Yao'er! If Meng Yu comes again, don't pay him any attention!"

“Yes…” Su Yuyao replied with a disappointed look down.

"Also, hand in your homework before dinner!" Qi Meng said sternly. "If it's not up to standard, you won't get dinner!"

"Huh? Oh, okay..." Although Su Yuyao was very unwilling, she could only obey...

But she only managed to study diligently for two days before she couldn't keep up the act any longer.

"Bai Er... please help me!" Su Yuyao pleaded, following behind Bai Er. "Go check on Xuan Feng, see what he's doing, and while you're at it..."

"And bring Lord Xuanfeng along too?! To have him take you home?!" Bai Er retorted.

"Hehe, that would be the best!" Su Yuyao said with a grin.

"Miss! Please spare me! If I go down to find the master and the Empress finds out, I'll be punished!" Bai Er pleaded, holding Su Yuyao's hand. "Miss, you've only had two days of peace! I beg you! Please be patient a little longer!"

"Fine, don't help me then! I'll figure it out myself!" Su Yuyao stormed back to her room.

"Miss! Don't be angry! Dinner is almost ready!" Bai Er called out.

It was late at night, but Su Yuyao was wide awake. She got up and looked at Bai Er lying on the side of the couch. Was he snoring? He was sleeping so soundly!

She draped a long robe over her shoulders, gently pushed open the door, and sat on the stone steps by the entrance. She looked up at the moon, letting its cool light fall on her round face, soothing her longing for Xuanfeng.

That bastard, he's probably sleeping with Feihua again, otherwise why hasn't he come to see me for two days...

She looked at the silent forest, and then... she looked at the sleeping White Ear in the house, and then... she looked at the dark bedroom of the Immortal Master not far away, and then... she looked at the silent forest, and then... she looked at the dark bedroom of the Immortal Master not far away, and then... she looked at the dark bedroom of the Immortal Master.

Suddenly, she had a bold idea!

She cautiously began to walk, tentatively venturing down the mountain step by step. Gradually, she quickened her pace, and finally, disregarding everything, she ran down the mountain...

"Stop!" A gloomy voice came from above Su Yuyao's head.

Su Yuyao was startled and quickly stopped. She saw a figure leap down from the treetop and land in front of her. It was Meng Yu!

"Yao'er?! What are you doing here in the middle of the night... are you sleepwalking?!" Meng Yu said with some surprise when he saw that it was Su Yuyao.

"Meng Yu! I...I want to go down the mountain for a bit, I...I left something at home!" Su Yuyao instinctively lied.

“Yao’er,” Meng Yu looked down at Su Yuyao and laughed, “You… wearing a bellyband and a long robe in the middle of the night to go home to get something?!”

"Huh?!" Su Yuyao then realized that she wasn't wearing a ruqun (a traditional Chinese dress), but only a bodice and shorts. She quickly pulled her long robe over her chest and shouted, "You're not allowed to look!"

Meng Yu turned around, smiling, and said, "Okay, I won't look. You should go back to sleep! I'm on duty tonight, so there's no way I'll let you go down the mountain!"

"I...I have to go downstairs for a bit, I'll be right back..." Su Yuyao pleaded softly, "Please, I'll only be gone for a little while..."

"Hey, I already told you! I'm on duty, there's no way I'm letting you go down the mountain!" With that, Meng Yu leaped back onto the treetop, yawning. "You'd better go back now! Don't keep me from sleeping!"

"Huh?" Su Yuyao stood blankly under the tree, then suddenly smiled and whispered, "Thank you, Meng Yu!"

Su Yuyao, pulling her long robe tighter, continued running down the mountain...

The Yuantun Palace looked weary in the cold, quiet night. Su Yuyao walked up the stone steps to the entrance of the palace, but she couldn't open the door no matter what she did.

She glanced at the side hall again, where there was a faint candlelight, but she dared not make any rash moves.

She peeked through the crack in the door, trying to see where Xuanfeng was, but inadvertently saw him gently placing the naked Feihua on the bed...

Su Yuyao's heart sank. Sure enough! That bastard doesn't come to see me because he's with Feihua every day!

Her heart suddenly felt empty, filled with an indescribable sense of loss and frustration. She wanted to cry, but her tears choked her.

What should I do to stop being sad?

"Hmm? Girl?!" Xuanfeng heard Su Yuyao's thoughts and turned to look at the gate.

"Xuan... um!" Su Yuyao was about to open her mouth when someone covered her mouth and forcibly pulled her aside.

"Yao'er! Who let you come!" Qingyue angrily tapped Su Yuyao's head. "Look at yourself now, what a mess you've made of!"

"Your Majesty," Su Yuyao asked, her head bowed and tears welling in her eyes, "Are Xuanfeng and Feihua together every day? Is it because they are together every day that Xuanfeng doesn't come to the academy to see me?"

"You child!" Qingyue said angrily, "Isn't Feihua sick?!"

"When I was sick, he didn't stay with me like this..." Su Yuyao pouted.

"You!" Qingyue glared at him. "You're being jealous again! Even if nothing happened between them, what right do you have to stop it?!"

As she spoke, Qingyue tore off her cloak and draped it over Su Yuyao's shoulders. "Hurry back to the academy! Don't let Xuanfeng see you!"

"Your Majesty, if you won't let me stop them from being together, then why do you keep stopping me from seeing Xuanfeng..." Su Yuyao said indignantly.

"How can that be the same?" Qingyue raised her hand angrily, glancing at Su Yuyao. "You child! How can you be so insensible! You only make things worse when things are already chaotic! Can't you just be patient and wait until Feihua is a little better before looking for Xuanfeng?!"

"Then... when will Feihua get better?" Su Yuyao asked.

"Sigh..." Qingyue sighed, "It's too early to say..."

"Huh? Then there's no time left?!" Su Yuyao twisted her body and said angrily, "How much longer do I have to wait?!"

"You! Keep your voice down!" Qingyue pinched Su Yuyao's wrist. "Don't let Xuanfeng hear!"

"Let's have a baby! Xuanfeng! Let's have a baby!" Feihua started making a fuss again!

Qingyue, disregarding Su Yuyao, hurriedly rushed into the side hall, and Su Yuyao followed curiously inside.

Feihua was kneeling naked in front of Xuanfeng, clutching his belt, her face filled with despair.

"Feihua, get up." Xuanfeng gently helped Feihua up.

Feihua suddenly shoved Xuanfeng aside, grinning maliciously, and said in a man's voice, "Want it? Beg me! Beg me!"

"Hey? Su Yuyao?!" Fei Hua saw Su Yuyao behind Qing Yue and immediately rushed over.

Xuanfeng was startled and turned around to look behind Qingyue. "Girl?! You really came?!"

While Xuanfeng was still stunned, Feihua had already rushed in front of Su Yuyao. Despite Qingyue and Fangchun's best efforts to stop her, Feihua still managed to grab Su Yuyao's wrist.

In an instant, Su Yuyao froze. She saw the terrifying seaweed whip lashing down relentlessly, saw groups of naked women dancing in the seaweed before her, saw entire coral branches lined up at her mouth, and finally, she saw a kind yet repulsive face, a face that said, "Get pregnant..."

Su Yuyao's heart trembled violently. What had Feihua gone through?! She could even sense the shameful longing and despair that followed Feihua's pleading...

Xuanfeng stepped forward, pulled Feihua aside, and held her in his arms, saying to Su Yuyao, "Girl! Run!"

"Don't go! Don't go! We have to get Su Yuyao! We have to get Su Yuyao!" Feihua shouted.

"What did you say?!" Xuanfeng stared at Feihua in shock.

"Do you know?" Fei Hua said, staring with empty eyes, "Sa Ningbao is Su Yuyao! Su Yuyao is here! She's causing trouble in the Internal Affairs Department! Go and arrest her! No, Xuan Feng is here... No..."

"What did you say?!" Xuanfeng's eyes widened.

"Ah! Don't worry, don't worry... I'll get Xuanfeng away, then you go and capture Su Yuyao, okay? Once you get her, Xuanfeng won't want her anymore..."

"What...did you say?!" Xuanfeng suddenly grabbed Feihua's hand. "You deliberately sent me away so that Zeyuan could go and catch that girl?!"

"It's a pity we failed..." Tears of disappointment streamed from Feihua's empty eyes. "I didn't get your seed, and Zeyuan didn't get Su Yuyao either..."

Su Yuyao was also stunned by Feihua's words. She never expected that the terrible things she had experienced were actually a conspiracy between Feihua and Zeyuan.

"I was wrong..." Fei Hua collapsed at Xuan Feng's feet, tears streaming down her face. "I was wrong..."

"Feihua," Su Yuyao called softly, "you were indeed wrong, but your mistake made me who I am..."

Feihua seemed to understand, and she looked up at Su Yuyao, "My mistake, did I grant your wish?"

"Yes! You are wrong. You wanted to destroy me, but I became pregnant with Xuanfeng's child because of that terrible thing! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have Xuanfeng's love now."

Su Yuyao slowly walked to Feihua's side, knelt down gently, and covered Feihua with the cloak. "Feihua, I know everything that happened to you was terrible, helpless, and desperate, but... we still have to live, don't we?"

Su Yuyao held Feihua's hand and said, "Since we didn't die, there must be a reason why we lived. I bear the hatred of the massacre of my family, and you must live for yourself! Only by living... can we have a chance..."

“A chance?” Fei Hua blinked. “There’s no chance anymore. Xuan Feng didn’t give me the seed…and your child is gone too…”

“Xuanfeng can’t have children now. We need to protect him, so we can’t have children for him…”

"Not having children, to protect Xuanfeng?" Feihua muttered woodenly.

Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Feihua calm down, and then called Fangchun to help Feihua to bed.

"Girl!" Xuanfeng, holding back tears, picked up Su Yuyao and hugged her tightly. You little brat! You always manage to surprise me!

Su Yuyao smelled that familiar scent again. She nuzzled her face against Xuanfeng's chest and said puffily, "You bad Xuanfeng! You don't even look at me!"

"Missed me?" Xuanfeng asked, gently tucking Su Yuyao's long hair behind her ear.

"Mmm!" Su Yuyao replied, her face flushed.

"So you secretly ran down the mountain?" Xuanfeng's tone was gentle, but his eyes were stern.

"Well... it wasn't exactly sneaking around... everyone was asleep... no one saw me..." Su Yuyao blinked and tried to explain.

Xuanfeng glanced at Su Yuyao's clothes, slapped her bottom hard, and said with a laugh, "Tomorrow I'll tell my martial uncle to punish you properly!"

Su Yuyao rubbed her bottom indignantly, "If anyone's going to be punished, it should be you! Who told you not to come and see me?!"

"Yao'er!" Qingyue's expression was still not good. She glared at Su Yuyao, then turned to Xuanfeng and said, "Xuanfeng, Feihua is already asleep. You should go and get some rest too!"

"It's alright, I'll talk to the girl for a while!" Xuanfeng held Su Yuyao's soft little hand, and his heart began to stir again.

"Yao'er!" Qingyue said coldly, "What do you want to say to Xuanfeng?"

Su Yuyao was looking into Xuanfeng's eyes with delight when she heard Qingyue's tone change. She quickly looked away, lowered her head, and said, "I... I just wanted to say a few words..."

"A few words?" Qingyue pressed aggressively.

"aunt……"

"Go and get some rest!" Qingyue interrupted Xuanfeng. "You haven't had a proper night's sleep in days!"

"Xuanfeng... go and rest..." Su Yuyao looked at Qingyue's face and knew that there was no chance tonight.
