I shook my head. “You wouldn’t. You’re a smart person. You know that if you kill me, Liu Lieyu will find out sooner or later. Then you will be doomed and never be able to recover. You wouldn’t do such a stupid thing.”
Of course, I also believe in the little girl who always wanted to challenge me and surpass me.
Fei Yan produced a gourd of wine from who-knows-where and gulped it down her throat.
I know that Fei Yan is making a difficult decision right now. I lean silently against the bronze door, waiting for Fei Yan's choice.
Fei Yan just drank, as if her gourd contained an endless supply of wine. Fei Yan drank until her eyes turned red, staring intently at me without saying a word.
I felt a little uneasy being stared at. I glanced at the sky and saw that the sun was already setting. It was noon when I arrived, and I didn't expect so much time had passed.
People outside must be getting anxious. I'm worried about the situation outside, but Fei Yan has set up a barrier so I can't hear any noise from the outside. I don't dare to disturb Fei Yan rashly, for fear of affecting her at this crucial moment.
Fei Yan had drunk an unknown amount of wine. The moon had already risen above the horizon when Fei Yan suddenly threw down her wine gourd. I was looking at the sky and was startled. When I looked at Fei Yan, I saw wisps of white steam rising from her body. I knew that was the wine she had just drunk.
As the white mist dissipated, Fei Yan was found completely naked. I was startled by her lack of clothing; even though I'm a girl myself, the sudden appearance of a naked woman made me feel somewhat shy.
Fei Yan's skin was fair and smooth, and her figure was slender. Fei Yan slowly raised her right hand and stretched out her right hand. Water flowed slowly from Fei Yan's right hand. I stared wide-eyed. Was Fei Yan taking a bath?
The water flowed faster and faster, soon drenching Fei Yan completely. Flower petals drifted in from nowhere, following the water's current and swirling around her. This... this... do other gods bathe like this? I was a bit bewildered; after all, I'd never seen any other gods bathe before.
The petals enveloped Fei Yan's entire body in circles as the water flowed. All I could see now was Fei Yan's raised right hand. Soon the water flow subsided, and Fei Yan's fair body was revealed again. Fei Yan glanced at me with a serene expression.
With her right hand down, and in a breath, Fei Yan put on the robe I had worn the first time I met her. Her cold eyes looked at me as she slowly walked to my side and whispered in my ear, "I promise you."
I was slightly taken aback when the bronze door behind me suddenly opened, and I fell to the ground with a thud.
"Imperial Consort! Aunt!" Zi Teng's voice rang out from behind me, and then I was helped up.
I stared at Fei Yan in disbelief; Fei Yan had agreed.
"Aunt, what are you and the Empress doing? Why has the Empress been here for so long?" Zi Teng rushed to Fei Yan as soon as she saw me being helped up.
Fei Yan glanced coldly at Zi Teng and said sarcastically, "Since when do I have to report my aunt's affairs to you?" However, Fei Yan's cold eyes still revealed a hint of concern for Zi Teng.
Wisteria stamped her foot and said, "I don't care about you anymore! If you do anything and get punished by the Eastern Emperor, I won't care about you."
Fei Yan closed the door with a cold face, "I don't need your light."
We were left alone, staring at the already closed gate.
Fei Yan glared at the tightly closed door with resentment, then turned to me and asked, "Your Majesty, why have you and my aunt been here for so long?"
"Huh?" I looked utterly hopeless. Why do I have to lie again and clean up this mess?
