At first, Fei Yu could understand the way her young lady was talking to Song Wuxia, but after she was so frightened that she fainted, she woke up in the Imperial Hospital to find Liu Qi's deadpan face. You can imagine how terrified she was!
Feng Guang didn't understand the girl's fright. She only knew that if Baili Mo just sat quietly across from her without any common topics, she would feel very awkward. So she casually asked Xiao Zhaozi next to her, "Song Wuxia's people said they wanted to check if there were any assassins in our East Palace. How did their investigation go?"
Xiao Zhaozi paused for a moment. No matter how many times he heard it, he would subconsciously think that the Crown Princess who could call Song Wuxia by her name was really brave. He lowered his head and said, "Not long after the Crown Princess left, His Majesty sent an edict saying that the assassin had been caught and the people from the Western Depot left."
"They don't seem like easy people to talk to..." Feng Guang muttered, stroking his chin. "Especially that Song Wuxia, how could she leave so easily?"
Moreover, Baili Mo was imprisoned recently because of Song Wuxia's framing. Logically speaking, this eunuch should be Baili Mo's mortal enemy. He even dared to frame the Crown Prince, which shows that he is a fearless person. So how could he give up and leave so easily?
As if knowing what was troubling her, Baili Mo picked up his pen and wrote on the paper: "Although Song Wuxia wields great power in the court, it is not advisable for her to break ties with the Emperor at this time."
"Wait..." Feng Guang moved a little closer to Baili Mo, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Does the old emperor know that Song Wuxia framed you?"
Her ethereal voice rang in his ears, and he could even feel the warmth of her breath.
Baili Mo's Adam's apple bobbed, but his gaze remained fixed on the paper. After a moment, he wrote: "Perhaps he knows, perhaps he doesn't."
What kind of answer is this?
"My father trusts him very much."
"Trust an outsider more than your own son?" She couldn't understand it at all. Although there was no kinship among the royal family, Baili Min should trust his own son more than a eunuch. She lowered her voice and said, "You are the Empress's son and the old emperor's eldest son."
She remembered the knowledge that Fei Yu had taught her before. Back then, when Baili Mo became the mute crown prince, all the officials in the court requested that Baili Mo be removed from his position as crown prince, but Baili Min refused. In fact, he even dismissed many officials in a fit of anger. From this, you can see that Baili Min liked this son. So why would he now favor a eunuch?
Could it be... no, no, no, impossible. Song Wuxia's demeanor doesn't seem like that of Baili Min's male concubine.
Feng Guang denied the idea as soon as he had it, but Song Wuxia was even more like a flower in the fog, impossible to see clearly.
Baili Mo wrote down a sentence: "People are fickle, let alone the ruler of a country."
There's a saying: "Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger."
Feng Guang glanced at him quietly and saw that he only had a faint smile on his face, without any sadness or distress. She felt a little lost and couldn't tell whether she pitied him or sympathized with him.
It's like eating a piece of cake that didn't taste good; it makes you feel a bit down.
He put down his pen, took her hand, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He was as gentle as the wind and as elegant as a refined gentleman. He opened his mouth and said three words, "I'm fine."
Suddenly, she seemed to hear the most beautiful sound in the world.
