But Feng Guche's laughter lasted only a moment. He suddenly felt a sharp pain on one side of his head. He frowned slightly, his gaze became serious, and he looked at everyone earnestly and announced, "Then let's do as Lord Mu says."
The officials in the court looked at each other. Although they still had some other thoughts, they dared not say anything more and obediently flattered Feng Guche.
Feng Guche, feeling a sharp pain on one side of his head, looked impatient and waved his hand, announcing the end of the court session.
Fearing punishment, no one dared to offer any advice and they all respectfully and orderly withdrew from the main hall.
Supported by Eunuch Gao, Feng Guche didn't even glance at Feng Xilan and Feng Moran, who were standing respectfully to the side. After leaving the main hall, he went straight to the palace of Imperial Noble Consort Cang Xixue.
Recently, whenever Cang Xixue is not by Feng Guche's side, he occasionally experiences headaches.
But every time he returned to Cang Xixue's palace, Cang Xixue would patiently and gently massage his temples with her slender fingers, which carried a comforting fragrance. His symptoms would immediately subside, and he would feel comfortable both physically and mentally.
Feng Guche thought that he had been preoccupied with Cang Xixue lately, and that being with her made him feel happy and relieved his physical discomfort. As a result, he became more and more immersed in the gentle embrace of the Imperial Noble Consort.
After Feng Guche left, Feng Mozhan glanced at Feng Xilan with a half-smile in his narrow eyes, seemingly unconcerned that Feng Xilan had regained so much power, and even showing a disdain that completely disregarded him.
With mixed feelings and lost in her own thoughts, Feng Xilan suddenly looked up when she noticed a gaze fixed on her, only to see Feng Moran walking away with a flick of her sleeve.
Feng Xilan narrowed her eyes, staring at the arrogant and unrestrained Feng Moran, guessing that he would not let the matter rest so easily.
In the vast palace, Feng Xilan was the last person to leave.
Since his last meeting with Empress Shen Biyun, Feng Guche has shown special leniency by allowing him to pay his respects to Empress Shen Biyun every five days for only one hour, until she is released from confinement.
Feng Xilan planned to tell Shen Biyun the good news that the city king had been demoted and that she had regained power, so that she could feel at ease.
When Feng Xilan arrived at Fengyi Palace, there were still palace maids standing by the gate. In the past, the concubines often came to pay their respects, and the area in front of Fengyi Palace was very lively. Now that the Empress was under house arrest, the huge Fengyi Palace felt as desolate as the Cold Palace, which made people sigh.
Before entering the main hall, Feng Xilan concealed her thoughts and put on a faint smile, just to make herself look better and not want Shen Biyun to worry about her.
Feng Xilan had only taken a few steps inside the hall when she saw Shen Biyun's personal maid carrying a tray. Her gaze fell upon the tray, which was covered with gold embroidery thread and scissors.
He looked up with a slight surprise, and the palace maid quickly explained to him, "Her Majesty the Empress has been busy these past few days making a brocade robe for His Majesty herself."
Feng Xilan immediately understood the reason, and nodded, saying, "I understand. You may all leave now."
In an instant, all the palace maids in the hall withdrew. Feng Xilan was about to greet Shen Biyun when Shen Biyun happily took his hand and stopped him from doing so.
"Your Highness, you've come at the perfect time. Take a look at this brocade robe. It was specially made for His Majesty by the Empress Dowager." Shen Biyun said this with a sigh of relief.
