"This story is good, thank you, Fengguang." He gave a final compliment, then lay down and closed his eyes with a strange realization. Yes, before anyone could figure out what new knowledge he had just unlocked, he fell asleep...
Feng Guang really wanted to wake him up again and tell him that the story praised truth, goodness and beauty, but when she saw him sleeping so peacefully, his docile appearance melted her heart.
Never mind, let's leave it at that.
She smiled and lay down. Although she didn't feel tired, her human sleep schedule told her that she needed to sleep.
The rain kept falling, and the house continued to leak.
That morning, Feng Guang sat in the corridor, passing the time by weaving tassels out of boredom.
Fengyan watched as the red silk rope seemed to move through the air, and he remained silent.
Finally, Feng Guang finished weaving, and a beautiful tassel fell into Feng Yan's hands. "This is for you. Hmm, if you get a sword in the future, you can hang it on as a sword tassel. But I wove it too ugly, it would be embarrassing to hang it up, haha."
"I like it," he whispered, clutching the red tassel tightly.
"If you like it, that's fine. But it has another use, remember what I said?"
"Yes." He nodded seriously.
The sound of rain outside subsided, and the heavy rain turned into a light drizzle. Feng Guang looked at him and felt a little regretful. "I don't know if it was right or wrong to push you to the emperor's side. Once you've gone there, there's no turning back. You might get caught up in the complicated court struggles in the future... Perhaps it's better for you to be lonely now, without any intrigues or schemes."
He looked up, and his once lifeless eyes gradually regained their resolve. "I'm not afraid. I need rights."
With power, the incident involving Eunuch Li would not continue. With power, he could protect those he wanted to protect. And power, like in that story, also gives him the ability to change the fate of others.
He'd had enough of being bullied.
Fengguang has fallen silent. She was the one who said she wanted to carry out the plan, and she was also the one who advised him not to go. Now she is very conflicted and doesn't know what to do.
He stood up, took the tassel, and walked outside for the first time. He paused for a moment, and then his still slightly immature voice came out, "I'm going alone. I'll be back. Fengguang, wait for me."
Just as Feng Guang was still feeling that something was off about those words, his figure had already disappeared into the courtyard.
"Hey, what's all this talk about! I told you to call me 'sister'! You have no manners..." She stood up and yelled at the door, but that brat probably couldn't hear her.
A distinguished guest has arrived today amidst the dilapidated palace walls.
Today, Xianrang was accompanied only by one eunuch. The drizzle continued to fall, and Ma Yuan dutifully held an umbrella for His Majesty, preferring to get soaked herself rather than let His Majesty get wet at all.
The further they walked into the West Palace, the more desolate it became. Xian Rang frowned as he looked at the increasingly dilapidated houses on both sides and said coldly, "I never knew there were such run-down places in the palace."
"Your Majesty, this is the Cold Palace used by the previous dynasty to imprison concubines who had made mistakes or were out of favor. Later, the late emperor took pity on these concubines and released them from the palace. Now it is no longer used, and these rooms have been in disrepair for many years."
"Hmph, no matter what, they're just too much of an eyesore. Go back and issue an order to tear down all these yards. Planting flowers and plants there would be much prettier than this."
"Yes." Ma Yuan bowed.
