He gazed at her tenderly with his quiet eyes.
Feng Guang paused for a moment, then silently turned her head away. Even the thick-skinned Feng Guang had moments of embarrassment. "It's nothing... I didn't help you much. On the contrary, Yi Ren treated your injuries and brewed medicine for you. She worked very hard. I think... when you get back to the East Palace, you might as well thank her properly?"
Even if she were to be made a concubine, it wouldn't matter!
Feng Guang's plan was well thought out. As the Crown Princess, she had not conceived for a long time and would definitely be besieged by the court officials. Although her father, the Prime Minister, was in charge, they would not dare to be too presumptuous. However, there would be a lot of rumors circulating behind her back. Moreover, there were no other concubines in the Crown Prince's palace, which would inevitably earn her the reputation of being a jealous woman.
She didn't care about other people's opinions, but she felt that after she resigned from her position as Crown Princess, she could find a second spring in her life.
That's right, she didn't want to be the Crown Princess at all, because she felt deeply that she wasn't cut out to be the Empress. Rather than having to pretend to be gentle and virtuous in the future, she would rather find a successor as soon as possible and resign early.
But Baili Mo didn't understand her thoughts. He thought she was still upset about the day she saw him walking with Yiren. He lowered his gaze and slowly wrote in her palm: "If you don't like Yiren, I can make her leave the East Palace."
"No, no, no..." Feng Guang quickly shook his head. "You can't send her away. You're not well. Who will take care of you if she leaves?"
"The Imperial Medical Academy has imperial physicians."
“When you came out of the imperial prison last time, you were so badly injured. One after another, the imperial physicians refused to come. Not one of them dared to come. It’s clear that they are all petty and opportunistic people. Even if they were to accept bribes and try to tamper with the medicine, it’s possible that none of them can be trusted.”
Without hesitation, he wrote down each word carefully: "I will try my best not to get sick."
“Although I really want to believe you…” She looked into his calm eyes, her eyelids twitched, and she immediately changed her words, “Of course I believe you! But… better safe than sorry.”
"If Fengguang is worried, I am willing to consult the Imperial Advisor and learn medicine myself."
Feng Guang never expected him to write such a sentence. She didn't know how to answer for a moment. After a while, she finally organized her thoughts and said, "Your Highness, I think... you don't need to go to so much trouble. Besides, I don't dislike Yi Ren. In fact... she is quite useful."
It goes without saying that Yi Ren can heal the sick and save lives. More importantly, she also has the power to attract attention. For example, Fei Yu, who strictly limits her sweets intake, keeps a close eye on Yi Ren out of fear that she will succeed in taking over the position. This gives Feng Guang many opportunities, such as stealing a few pastries from the kitchen...
So, she really is useful!
Baili Mo looked at her gently for a while, as if judging whether her words had any other meaning. Finally, he wrote in her palm: "You have the right to deal with the people of the Eastern Palace."
"Do I... have that much power?"
“Fengguang is the Crown Princess, the mistress of the Eastern Palace, and also…” He raised his eyes, his obsidian-like eyes revealing tenderness and a faint joy, “my wife.”
He couldn't speak, so he could only write words in her palm, but just that made her suddenly... go limp.
