Meanwhile, Feng Guang grabbed someone and asked for directions, heading straight to the Imperial Study. The guards at the door stopped her, and she forced a warm smile, saying, "I have something to discuss with His Majesty. May I trouble you, guard, to inform him?"
The guard, with an iron face, said, "His Majesty has matters to discuss with the Crown Prince and the Imperial Preceptor, and has given orders that no one is allowed to disturb them."
"Imperial Advisor?" Feng Guang's heart skipped a beat when she heard the title; she was afraid of people like the Imperial Advisor.
"Indeed, the Imperial Preceptor is also in the Imperial Study." The guard said respectfully, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I am only following orders."
Feng Guang wasn't one to make trouble unnecessarily. She knew that even if she made things difficult for these workers, it wouldn't do any good. Scratching her hair, she could only wander aimlessly around the entrance of the main hall.
After pacing around a few times, she felt something was off. She didn't like Baili Mo, so why was she so anxious about his life or death? But then she quickly thought of something else. After all, Yi Ren had just helped her, and Baili Mo was Yi Ren's sweetheart. If she helped Baili Mo, wouldn't that be repaying Yi Ren's favor?
Feng Guang thought about it more and more and more, and then turned around to consider whether she could sneak into the Imperial Study. Just as she was gritting her teeth and thinking of a way, the door of the Imperial Study opened and Baili Mo walked out from inside, with an old man with a sage-like appearance beside him.
Upon seeing the scenery, the old man exclaimed, "Oh?" and then teased, "It seems the Crown Princess is too worried about His Highness the Crown Prince, which is why she came to the Imperial Study to wait for him. She is indeed a young man; a day apart feels like three autumns."
Feng Guang's face turned a rare red.
Baili Mo chuckled, walked to her side, and gently took her hand. Her first reaction was to pull away, but considering there were so many outsiders present, she couldn't refuse him, so she held back.
"I heard that the Crown Princess has lost her memory, so let me introduce myself." The old man with white hair and a youthful face bowed slightly. "I am a physician, and I hold the position of Imperial Preceptor."
Feng Guang also curtsied politely and said, "So you are the Imperial Preceptor. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"It is truly my good fortune to be able to see the Crown Princess today," Xuanhu said kindly, stroking his beard. "However, judging from the Crown Princess's complexion, she is still quite weak and needs to drink more blood-nourishing soups."
Feng Guang asked, "Does the Imperial Advisor understand medicine?"
"A brief overview, nothing to mention."
Feng Guang had never heard of this Imperial Preceptor from Fei Yu, so she couldn't guess what abilities he had. She smiled and said, "I will keep the Imperial Preceptor's words in mind."
"Then I will not disturb Your Highness and the Crown Princess any longer. I will take my leave now." Xuanhu bowed and turned to leave.
Only after the figure of the man with the suspended pot disappeared did Feng Guang hurriedly look up and ask the man beside her, "What did His Majesty talk to you about? Is he planning to lock you up in the Heavenly Prison again?"
He gently shook his head.
Feng Guang breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling even more puzzled. "Then why did His Majesty want to see you? It couldn't be just to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, could it?"
He chuckled, took her hand, and slowly wrote in her palm: "My charge of treason has been cleared."
"real!?"
"I won't lie to you."
Upon seeing this, Feng Guang felt a slight unease for a moment, but soon she exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful! You've cleared your name, and you no longer have to worry about being arrested and taken to the prison on the way."
"Thank you for the beautiful scenery these past few days." When he wrote her name, his movements became much slower and gentler, making one's heart itch with desire.
