Time always flies, and before they knew it, winter had arrived. During this time, Consort Yun did not cause any more trouble for Xianmo. The Prime Minister advised that the motherless eldest prince should be raised by the Empress. Since the Empress had no children, it was reasonable for her to raise the eldest prince. However, before His Majesty could speak, the Empress spoke up, citing her poor health as the reason that she could not take good care of the eldest prince, and advised His Majesty to place the eldest prince under Consort An's care.
The Prime Minister was furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide with anger, while Xian Rang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly placed the eldest prince under Consort An's name.
The Empress isn't unwell; she's pregnant.
Xianrang had never entered her palace, so it was impossible for her to be pregnant. Yet, ironically, she was indeed pregnant.
Only Feng Guang knew about this.
Feng Guang looked at Rong Tingxue's slightly protruding belly and fell silent for a long time. She had only thought of coming to see the equally deserted Fengyi Palace because it was New Year's Day. But when she saw it, she was dumbfounded.
Rong Tingxue, however, acted with composure and said, "I'm just pregnant, not ugly. Why are you staring at me like that?"
"You've been unfaithful."
"Nonsense." Rong Tingxue raised an eyebrow. "I don't like Xianrang, and Xianrang doesn't like me either. Isn't it only a matter of time before I have an affair?"
Feng Guang had never seen anyone speak of adultery so openly and gracefully. She paused for a moment, then asked, "Who would dare to have such audacity as to cuckold the old emperor?"
"Guess." Rong Tingxue smiled again.
Fengguang's social circle was relatively small, and she couldn't have guessed that the only men who could enter the harem besides the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Bodyguards were none of them, yet she didn't know a single one of them.
But Rong Tingxue just smiled and refused to say a word more.
Before leaving, Feng Guang heard Rong Tingxue say behind her back, "Consort An is a good person. Under her care, the First Prince will not have any problems."
"I know, thank you." Feng Guang thanked her sincerely, and then she left Fengyi Palace.
Rong Tingxue always gave her a strange feeling, as if... a sense of intimacy? But Rong Tingxue was also like a gust of wind, she couldn't see through her or touch her, but she had a gut feeling that she wouldn't harm her.
After returning to Yihe Palace, Feng Guang searched around and finally found Xian Mo in the study. She floated over and saw that he was holding a book. She saw a sentence that said the Abyss of Ten Thousand Poisons was the place where spiritual herbs and trees grew the most in the world, but it was also a place with endless dangers.
She twitched her forehead and slapped the book out of his hand.
Xianmo paused for a moment, then said, "Fengguang, you're back."
“Amo, I’m warning you, you absolutely must not go to a place like the Abyss of Ten Thousand Poisons.”
Xianmo nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I'm not going."
She was still not convinced. "Swear you won't go to that place."
"I swear, if I go, I will never..."
"Shut up!" Feng Guang covered his mouth, interrupting him impatiently. "You have to live well, and you can't say anything about dying or anything like that."
He smiled and softly said "okay".
Feng Guang reluctantly put his hand down, then gave a serious lecture, "You can't have too much curiosity. Going to such a dangerous place, nine times out of ten you won't come back."
"I know."
She snorted, "You know that much."
