Chapter 36
Feng Huanhuan nodded: "I was as surprised as you when I heard Sister Bai say that. Le Yingniang really didn't do anything too extreme. She just stood up and got off the ground, and then she started bleeding on the spot. So I said that his medicine was not useless. After all, it ensured the pregnancy at that time. But Liu Huaide also warned that after taking this medicine, you must not get up and stay in bed until the fetus is full-term. No one thought that she would really be gone after just one landing."
Feng Wu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. This was very strange and shocking. Even though he had fought on the battlefield for many years and had seen thousands of poisonous creatures in the Western Regions, he had never been so shocked. Feng Nianxiang was also shocked. He had never heard of such a strange thing in his life. But on second thought, in this case, Liu Huaide's pill might really be able to cure Huan'er's illness... At worst, he could just follow his instructions, which was better than worrying about it now.
Therefore, Feng Nianxiang was somewhat tempted. He picked up the white porcelain bottle again and said hesitantly, "Huan'er..."
"Father." Feng Huanhuan interrupted Feng Nianxiang, smiled, and asked, "Did Liu Huaide tell you anything?"
Feng Nianxiang had a slightly strange look on his face. He looked at Feng Wubai quietly, asking with his eyes whether he should tell the truth. All this was seen by Feng Huanhuan.
Feng Wubai saw Feng Huanhuan looking at him and his father with a clear expression, and he knew that she had guessed the whole situation. He inexplicably felt like he was caught doing something bad, and his whole body was hot.
So, he turned away from Feng Huanhuan's gaze and nodded uncomfortably to Feng Nianxiang: "Father, tell my sister."
Feng Nianxiang's face tightened after hearing this, and he slowly slumped down in his chair. At that moment, Feng Huanhuan felt that her father had aged ten years. She felt a little guilty, if it weren't for her illness, her father wouldn't be so depressed now.
Meanwhile, Feng Nianxiang had also prepared himself mentally. He slowly raised his head, revealing his pale grey eyes.
Feng Huanhuan could see that her father was forcing a smile and it was very powerless.
He said: "Huan'er, your father can support you for the rest of your life. The side effects of this medicine are not a big deal, but Huan'er may have children in the future and there is a risk of miscarriage. However, he also said that if you find him in time, nothing will happen. Huan'er just said that although Liu Huaide is very strange, the medicine is still effective.
And he didn't make any excessive requests, just asking his father to say a few good words in front of the emperor. Isn't the Spring Festival coming soon? He wants Liu Qinqin to be invited to the palace."
Feng Huanhuan took the medicine and smelled it: "Father, Huan'er feels better today than usual. If Huan'er feels worse again, he can take it, okay?"
"Okay, okay, Huan'er makes the decision."
Feng Nianxiang left the white porcelain bottle to Feng Huanhuan, and then, not long after sitting there, he and Feng Wubai left.
Huan'er needed to rest, so he didn't dare to disturb her any more during this period. He also knew that Huan'er didn't want to see him as her father.
The breath of early spring was getting stronger, and the roots of the walls were covered with new buds. At this time of year in previous years, Feng Huanhuan would have been running around the flower stalls in Kyoto, bringing back some species he had never seen before.
At this time of year in previous years, the mansion was particularly lively.
Seeing that his father was too worried, he even put his hands behind his back. So Feng Wubai called out softly, "Father."
Feng Nianxiang stopped and did not look back at him. Feng Wubai wanted to comfort his father, but he suddenly turned around and looked at him with a frown: "Have you found out where Han Fengci is these days?"
"Han Fengci?" He was stunned for a moment, then replied with a cold face: "No, this person just appeared out of thin air and disappeared the same way he came."
He even mobilized his own secret agent, and the most terrifying thing was that this person had no past.
He wanted to say something else, but his father suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Forget it, this is God's will." After that, he left with heavy steps.
Feng Wubai didn't know what his father meant. He thought his father wanted to give up looking for Han Fengci. So he quickly caught up with his father and called out to him, "Are you satisfied with this? Are you not going to look for him anymore?"
Feng Nianxiang nodded, "I won't look for it anymore."
"Why?" He was a little annoyed, "So are you going to let my sister miss me like this?"
Feng Nianxiang turned around slowly and looked at him sideways.
"Wu Bai, some people, as long as they don't want to see you, you will never see them. If a bird wants to see a fish, the fish must be willing to come out of the water."
After Feng Nianxiang finished speaking, he left.
Feng Wubai stood there thinking about his father's words. He could feel his father's helplessness.
But why is this?
It only takes time for the noble family to find someone. Why did his father give up so easily? In his opinion, Han Fengci was not a god, but he knew some hiding skills. If he was given some time, he would be able to find him out from the cracks in the rocks. At this time, he had no choice but to think. Even if he had to tie him up or press his head down, he would be pushed to his sister's side!
He clenched his fists, looked back in the direction of Huanxin Garden, and said to himself: "Sister, I will definitely find the person you want to see for you. Even if he is at the end of the world."
Feng Wubai decided to go look for it himself.
That night, the moon was bright like a hook, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was quiet and peaceful everywhere.
"Tiao'er, I am sorry for you. With my sister in this state now, it is really hard for me as a brother to be happy alone."
Bai Tiao hugged Feng Wubai, buried her head deep in his chest, and comforted him: "Silly boy, Huan'er is also my sister."
Feng Wubai hugged her tightly in his arms: "I have let you down."
"How could that be?" She said softly, "With Huan'er in this state, we can't get married. What if Huan'er is heartbroken? Now that you want to go find Master Han, I support it. It's not only for Huan'er, but also for our future, isn't it?"
Feng Wubai pulled Bai Tiao away from his arms and looked at her in disbelief. Before he came, he had already made the worst plan. If it were any other woman, there would be no room for understanding. And he did not ask for Bai Tiao's understanding, but only asked Bai Tiao not to get angry with himself. He was the one who had let her down, and he was the sinner. But now she was in front of him, looking at him with her affectionate eyes, as if she was talking in a dream, and everything was unreal.
So he uttered with his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Tiao'er, you..."
"What do you mean by 'I'?" Bai Tiao smiled, raised her hands to help him straighten his collar, and continued, "Now I am also half her sister-in-law, why don't you acknowledge me?"
"Yes, why not?" He choked up and said, "You are Huan'er's sister-in-law, the only sister-in-law."
"You are the only one who talks too much. Be careful on your journey. I will wait for you here. Don't worry about my father. Now that they know about the imperial edict, they will never provoke me easily."
The two of them stayed together for a long time, and only reluctantly separated when they saw dawn had broken.
"Miss, stop looking, or you'll catch a cold." Haitang put a cloak on Baitiao and urged her, "Master Feng has gone far away, I will help you back to the pavilion."
The first hint of coldness was coming, and it was indeed bone-chilling. Bai Tiao then withdrew his gaze, glanced at Haitang, and nodded.
"What's going on over there at Handan?" Bai Tiao asked.
Haitang said, "My dear young lady, since the last time he saw Hong, the master has never set foot in Handan's yard again. Handan did look for the master several times, but he was always sent back."
Bai Tiao raised the corner of his mouth and said, "With this little patience, you are not even half as good as Le Yingniang."
"I will keep an eye on her at all times and report back to you immediately if there is any movement. Don't worry, Miss. Right now, Young Master Feng is the most important." Haitang said.
Bai Tiao glanced coldly at Haitang's face: "You see things clearly."
Haitang was stunned for a few breaths, and then said: "I am only thinking about the young lady. No matter what Mr. Feng asks for now, the young lady can only obey and must obey. As long as Miss Feng gets through this, everything will be clear as a mirror."
Bai Tiao did not reply.
She knew the relationship between the two siblings. It was not an exaggeration to say that Feng Huanhuan was brought up by Feng Wubai himself. She couldn't just focus on her own happiness and ignore Feng Huanhuan, because that would only push Feng Wubai further away. If she were a man, she would have followed Feng Wubai out to look for him long ago.
A few days after Feng Wubai left, a major event happened in the palace - the emperor took in a new wife.
And this newcomer was the disliked Liu Qinqin.
Bai Tiao sat on the high couch, peeling an apple, with an unconcealable smile on her face: "Huan'er, you said that Liu Qinqin is quite capable."
"How strange," Feng Huanhuan ate the grapes and tasted them carefully. "Grapes are sour on the outside and sweet on the inside. Fruits have two sides, not to mention people."
"That's right. I heard that Liu Qinqin went to a spring viewing party and rarely came out of the palace since then. Most importantly, no one knew where she was. Not long after, word came out that there was a new young master in the palace." Bai Tiao handed the peeled apple to Feng Huanhuan and continued, "I suspect that it was Concubine Cihe who did it."
Feng Huanhuan was biting an apple. When she heard this, she suddenly stopped and looked at her with a sweet smile: "Sister Bai is so smart!"
Bai Tiao smiled and said, "Hmm? Huan'er knows?"
"Yes." She nodded heavily. "But how did Liu Qinqin become the mistress? This is very strange. Imperial Concubine Cihe must want to take revenge on Liu Qinqin. If she climbs onto His Majesty's bed, with Liu Qinqin's beauty, she will surely cause His Majesty's wrath, and he might even execute her directly."
"That's what I thought." Bai Tiao couldn't think of any other reason, so he blurted out, "Could it be that... the emperor... likes that?"
This made Feng Huanhuan laugh out loud.
Fortunately, they were in Feng Mansion. It was disrespectful for the two to talk about the emperor behind his back, but they were joking and laughing happily. They didn't go to the Spring Festival a few days ago. Feng Huanhuan said she was sick, and Bai Tiao said she had to take care of Feng Huanhuan because there was no mistress in Feng Mansion. They escaped the boring Spring Festival. Unexpectedly, they missed this farce.
However, there are not many such happy moments, and right now, it seems that someone is missing among them.
Feng Huanhuan said with a hint of melancholy: "When will Sister Yueliang come back?"
Who could have thought that one day, Sister Moon would leave a letter and go away. She said she had something urgent to do and would be back soon. But this soon seemed like a long time.
Bai Tiao saw Feng Huanhuan's tired look. Her drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and her pale face became thinner and thinner. Although she ate normally, her energy and spirit were fading away. Without energy and spirit, even the snow lotus from Tianshan Mountain would be useless.
So, she comforted him: "Huan'er, Yueliang is very skilled in martial arts, nothing will happen to her. She is a heroine, she doesn't even blink an eye on the battlefield."
In fact, Lan Yueming had already set out with Feng Wubai to look for Han Fengci. However, she could not tell Feng Huanhuan. Everyone was trying their best to keep this a secret.
But what she didn't know was that Feng Huanhuan's longing was a signal from her body. She had been feeling more and more tired in recent days, and always felt that she didn't have much time left. She didn't like leaving without saying goodbye.
The sun rises in the east as usual, but the old friend has not returned. From the time when the snow is about to clear up to the time when the garden is full of spring, the days pass by like the breeze, coming and going gently.
Feng Huanhuan sat weakly under the wintersweet tree, quietly soaking up the sunlight. Now, the thing she hated most was keeping track of the days.
Keeping track of the days is an expression of anticipation; her anticipation is like a shooting star chasing the moon; but that bright moon is too high, it is the light that she cannot catch up with even if she burns up her life strength.
Life is full of ups and downs.
She hopes to be like the gurgling water under the snow-capped mountains, born to pursue the fleeting red of the morning sun, and everywhere she goes is phosphorus stone. Even if her body is broken into pieces and cut into millions of hers; even if she flows to the sun-blocking caves, the dying rivers, and the dirty sewage wells, she is still the same her. She will become clouds, become rain, and be parallel to the light.
In this way, would she be closer to him? She always made herself laugh because of these bizarre thoughts, not only during the day, but also every night, she would dream of some strange things.
These were all things she had never experienced before; yet they seemed to have really happened.
In her dream, she was a phoenix, in a very cold place, she brought back a little boy. She always tried in vain to continue dreaming, but every time she reached this point, it would be interrupted.
That unforgettable feeling and the feeling of not being able to obtain it is painful.
She was very curious about why this dream made her so sad. When she woke up, her heart was so empty; how could she fill it? She felt her heart trembling in the dream, which made her heart twist and turn.
