"It... this is?"

Looking at the civet cat cub in front of him, which was wet, covered in blood, and already dead, Nalan Yunzhi felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue.

"Your Majesty, this... is none other than the civet cat princess born to Queen Feng..." Guo Dongbing, holding the civet cat, knelt down in front of Nalan Yunzhi, lifted the civet cat high with his hands, and presented it to Nalan Yunzhi.

"No, this is impossible! How could my Lingyan give birth to a civet cat? Ridiculous! Absurd!"

"Your Majesty, more than a dozen Wen Gongs and the eunuchs serving in the Bixia Palace, a total of dozens of people, saw it with their own eyes. Your Majesty, you... should just mourn less!" Ouyang Yuming crawled forward, hugged Nalan Yunzhi's feet, and kowtowed to her repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, that's not true. Lingyan didn't do that. Lingyan indeed gave birth to a daughter..." Feng Lingyan, who was holding onto the door of the bedroom, fell to the ground because she was too weak, and kept crawling towards Nalan Yunzhi.

"Your Majesty, Queen Feng is too emotional. To avoid irritating him further, you'd better leave Bixia Palace for the time being!" Seeing Nalan Yunzhi who had broken free from his hand and took a step towards Feng Lingyan, Ouyang Yuming, who was kneeling on the ground, hugged her legs directly.

"Your Majesty, this...how should we deal with this?" Guo Dongbing spoke at the right time, bringing Nalan Yunzhi back to consciousness from his daze.

"Find...find a lush tree and bury it beneath it. Pass on my decree: Queen Feng has tragically given birth to a stillborn child. She is overwhelmed with grief and is weak. Send her back to her bedroom to rest. Lord Wen and the eunuchs in Bixia Palace, who failed to protect their master, are all sentenced to death."

"Your servant obeys your order!" Guo Dongbing, holding the dead civet cat, kowtowed and accepted the order.

Nalan Yunzhi looked in Feng Lingyan's direction with great heartache, then turned and left the Queen's bedroom.

Looking at the emperor who was leaving with a flick of his sleeves, Feng Lingyan, who was lying on the ground, fainted after the last tear rolled down her eyes.

Recalling that day, when she saw him appear, there was suddenly a light in her eyes, but those lights eventually dissipated bit by bit in front of him, leaving only the heartbroken and desperate Feng Lingyan. Nalan Yunzhi couldn't help but burst into tears.

Yesterday was sunny and warm, today is rainy and cold. Looking at the river. Farewell to the distant mountains.

The sky is cold and windy, the bleak wind makes the flowers wither. My thoughts are broken and my sorrow is increasing, but my thoughts are not far away. I hope you will come back in my dreams.

Nalan Yunzhi picked up his pen and wrote a poem "Jiangchengzi?Missing You" next to the painting for her Lingyan.
