Baili Mo gestured to Fengguang, indicating that if he wanted to eat that string of candied hawthorns, he could go and get it.
He's such a good person!
Feng Guang felt inexplicably grateful. She looked at Song Wuxia happily and reached out to take the candied hawthorn skewer, but Song Wuxia withdrew her hand, took a bite herself, and Feng Guang's outstretched hand froze.
Song Wuxia spat out two seeds expressionlessly. Even spitting out seeds was done with such elegance and grace by good-looking people. He said indifferently, "Since Fengguang doesn't want to eat them, then I'll eat them myself."
She was just a little slow! She doesn't want to eat anymore!
Feng Guang stared at him with a bitter and resentful look. If she weren't concerned about her image, she might have rushed up to fight him. Of course, she wouldn't have been able to beat him.
Song Wuxia glanced at the quiet Baili Mo, then said to Feng Guangliang, "Since the message has been delivered, I will take my leave now."
With a simple wave of his hand, the five men in black kneeling behind him vanished without a trace, while he strolled away leisurely, a string of candied hawthorns in his hand.
Feng Guang watched his tall, slender back, her teeth itching with hatred.
Just then, she noticed Yiren still kneeling on the ground and thought to herself that she seemed to have been kneeling since the beginning. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty and quickly said, "Yiren, please get up."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness." After thanking her, Yi Ren slowly stood up. Because she had been kneeling for so long, her posture was still a little unsteady, and she looked very weak and pitiful.
Feng Guang glanced at Baili Mo again, only to see that Baili Mo noticed her gaze and smiled at her with great tenderness. He didn't even look at her.
Could it be... that he really doesn't like her?
Feng Guang felt even more puzzled. It wasn't that she was confused, but because she remembered that when she first woke up, she always felt that there was something between Baili Mo and Yi Ren. Now, Baili Mo's behavior seemed to be a completely different story. She had to reconsider. If this Baili Mo didn't like Yi Ren, then who would he like?
Could it be... herself?
No, no, no, thinking like that seems too narcissistic.
Back in her palace, Feng Guang didn't give up pondering this topic. She tentatively asked Fei Yu beside her, "Fei Yu, who do you think the Crown Prince... likes?"
"Of course it's Miss," Fei Yu replied matter-of-factly, without any other answer.
Feng Guang then asked, "Why do you think he likes me?"
"Miss is the Crown Princess, and she's so beautiful. Who else would the Crown Prince like if not her?" Yi Ren pouted. "Could he possibly like that Yi Ren?"
“That’s… a very insightful observation.” Feng Guang realized that asking Fei Yu was a mistake, so she waved her hand and said, “Never mind, you can leave now. I’m going to sleep.”
"Yes, goodnight, Miss." Fei Yu curtsied and turned to leave.
Feng Guang couldn't fall asleep. She tossed and turned in bed. Finally, around midnight, she got dressed, bypassed the patrolling imperial guards, and carrying a lantern, walked out of the palace and onto the corridor where she had met Song Wuxia and Baili Mo during the day.
The corridor is surrounded by trees and flowers. The flowers are in full bloom under the night sky, and the dew-covered blossoms and green leaves make them even more lovely.
A figure slowly emerged from the darkness. "The night is deep and the dew is heavy. To come here to admire the flowers in such a beautiful setting, what a refined taste you have."
