Feng Guang followed the soldiers all the way there and finally met up with Baili Mo and his group at the city gate.
Baili Mo, who had been looking worried, smiled with relief upon seeing Feng Guang. He walked to her side, took her hand, and wrote in her palm, "Where did you go?"
“I…” Feng Guang thought for a while and decided to lie through his teeth. “After I got separated from you, I accidentally fell into the water and then I met Baili Shu. He took me to his mansion and gave me a clean set of clothes. Later, your people came, so I followed him to find you.”
He also wrote: "Is there any serious harm from falling into the water?"
"I'm fine, I'm not injured."
A smile played on his lips, a gentle and refreshing quality in his expression. He slowly wrote in her palm, "As long as everything is peaceful and uneventful, that's all that matters."
Feng Guang felt a little guilty, a rare occurrence. This man genuinely cared about her; after they were separated, he searched the entire city for her, while she, on the other hand, was sitting on a pleasure boat… She belatedly realized that Song Wuxia seemed to have taken advantage of her quite a bit…
She suddenly felt her hand being held tightly. Looking up, she saw Baili Mo smiling at her.
She understood that he was unhappy because of her distraction. Although he was still smiling, she knew he was indeed angry. Feng Guang became even more defiant and cautiously said, "How about... we go back to the palace first?"
Baili Mo nodded.
After returning to the East Palace, Feng Guang was in a state of anxiety. She didn't know how much of her story Bai Li Mo believed, or whether he would go to Bai Li Shu to ask if what she said was true. However, Bai Li Mo's behavior seemed to indicate that he did not intend to pursue the matter any further. He was still gentle with her, caring for her, smiling at her, and taking care of her in every possible way.
A sudden wave of guilt washed over Feng Guang, a guilt she termed "betrayal by her wife"...
It's probably the feeling of a pampered young wife cheating on her gentle and considerate husband.
But heaven knows, she didn't like Baili Mo at all!
If it weren't for the constraints of their "husband and wife" relationship, Feng Guang would have completely ignored him! Or... or if his attitude towards her had been just a little worse, she wouldn't feel like a sinner right now!
Feiyu looked at the young lady who had said she wanted to sit in the pavilion in the courtyard and admire the flowers, and was so engrossed in it that she was biting her handkerchief. She was puzzled and asked, "Miss... what's wrong with you?"
This doesn't seem like the state of someone getting their period.
Feng Guang bit her handkerchief and sobbed a few times, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"But if Miss doesn't tell me, then Feiyu will never understand."
"Oh ho, so you know how to argue with me now?"
The quick-witted Fei Yu lowered her head hastily, "Fei Yu wouldn't dare!"
Feng Guang didn't really blame her. She knew about Fei Yu's powerful gossip skills, so she asked, "Have the Crown Prince and Yi Ren had any contact these past few days?"
"Contact?" Fei Yu thought for a moment and replied, "It's just like usual. Yi Ren will take the Crown Prince's pulse regularly, but there's no other contact. Hmph, that girl has finally learned to know her place."
As usual... Feng Guang stroked her chin. Could it be that she misunderstood? Actually, there's really nothing between Baili Mo and Yi Ren, or perhaps they're just hiding it too well?
