Facing the guards' salute, Feng Xilan calmly withdrew her gaze and said to the palace maids standing to the side, "Go in and serve them well."
Feng Xilan had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome face. He was imposing even when he wasn't smiling or angry, which often attracted the attention of many palace maids who secretly glanced at him. Now, hearing what he said, they immediately nodded in agreement.
Although Shen Biyun was still under house arrest, she was still the Empress, and Feng Xilan was still the Crown Prince. Naturally, no one in the palace would make things difficult for Shen Biyun. However, Feng Xilan was still a little worried, which is why he gave her an extra reminder.
After Feng Xilan left, Shen Biyun seemed to regain her spirits.
She began to seriously consider how to make the emperor remember the kindness they had shown each other even for a day as husband and wife.
At this moment, although she harbored resentment towards the Imperial Noble Consort, after being confined for so long, she had developed a greater sense of fear and wariness towards her.
She should have realized that a woman who could spend so many years in that temple eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist prayers was no ordinary woman; in the end, it was just her own carelessness.
Fortunately, there are still many people who support Crown Prince Feng Xilan, and the Shen family is also very powerful and deeply rooted, so there is still room for maneuver.
Inside the royal palace of the Western Moon Kingdom.
Upon returning to the capital palace of Xiyue Kingdom, Fu Junheng was covered in dust and grime. He didn't even have time to take a proper bath and change his clothes before rushing into the palace to see the ailing emperor.
As soon as Fu Junheng entered the main hall, he saw the eunuch standing guard to the side with a somewhat indifferent expression.
The moment Fu Junheng saw them, his cold, sharp eyes unleashed his anger without any attempt to conceal it.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned icy. Even the eunuchs who were clearly the Empress Dowager's confidants and were monitoring the hall felt a chill and shrank back, not daring to look up and meet Fu Junheng's gaze.
"Get out!" Fu Junheng said, enunciating each word clearly. His cold voice sent a shiver down the spines of the eunuchs standing nearby, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.
Although they were ordered by the Empress Dowager to guard this place and should not leave in principle, when Fu Junheng spoke, they couldn't even utter a word of resistance. It was as if they would be killed by Fu Junheng's glare if they looked up. They could only hurriedly lower their heads and retreat.
There was no one else in the vast sleeping quarters.
Upon hearing Fu Junheng's voice, the Emperor of Xiyue, who was lying on his sickbed, struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and his dull eyes seemed to finally show a glimmer of light and happiness.
At this point, the emperor no longer had the strength to sit up, let alone support himself on the edge of the bed, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.
He tried desperately to pull himself up by clinging to the edge of the bed, his hands bulging with veins, but he still couldn't lift his upper body.
Just as he let out a soft, anxious, and painful cry, Fu Junheng, who was also rushing toward the emperor, had already arrived at his bedside.
"Father." Fu Junheng quickly reached out his strong hands and helped the emperor up.
The scene of father and son reuniting is always touching. The emperor's cloudy eyes were filled with a layer of mist, and although Fu Junheng's delicate features had not changed much, the deep emotions contained in his golden pupils were no less than those of the emperor.
Seeing that Fu Junheng's complexion had improved significantly after his trip to Tianzhao Kingdom, and that he had even removed his eye patch, the emperor knew that his trip to Tianzhao Kingdom had indeed been worthwhile.
The emperor, feeling both gratified and pleased, forced a weak smile.
