In the past few days, in order to finish the embroidery on this brocade robe as soon as possible so that it could be presented to the Emperor by Feng Xilan when he came, she worked day and night. Although she could not be said to be working without sleep, she was almost forgetting to eat and sleep.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xilan looked at Shen Biyun's somewhat haggard face and was deeply moved, her eyes filled with heartache.
With mixed emotions, Feng Xilan grasped Shen Biyun's hand that was holding hers and said, "Why must you do this, Mother..."
Why go through all this trouble for this brocade robe?
However, there were some things that Feng Xilan could only think in his heart but could not say out loud. In the end, he could only nod silently and say, "Mother, rest assured, I will personally deliver this brocade robe to Father. I will not let Mother's hopes be in vain."
The joy of completing the brocade robe vanished instantly with those words. As Shen Biyun calmed down, the thought that the result she had always wanted was merely a matter of Feng Guche's momentary whim and a single sentence filled her with sorrow.
Shen Biyun's eyes dimmed, and she remained silent for a long time. In the end, she simply nodded blankly, which was taken as an admission of Feng Xilan's words.
Feng Xilan could see the disappointment in Shen Biyun's eyes and her endless despair for Feng Guche, so she could only try her best to comfort her, saying, "I think when Father sees this brocade robe, he will remember the affection between him and Mother, and he will surely lift Mother's confinement soon."
I hope so.
Shen Biyun sighed inwardly, then everything went black. She felt her head was so heavy she couldn't lift it and almost fell over. Fortunately, Feng Xilan reacted quickly and reached out to support her.
"Mother, are you feeling unwell? I will summon the imperial physician immediately." Before Feng Xilan could finish speaking, she turned to call for someone.
But before he could speak, Shen Biyun stopped him.
"It's alright, Mother is not feeling unwell. She's probably just a little tired from resting too much lately." Shen Biyun rubbed her temples, realizing that she had simply been sleeping too little these past few days.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xilan immediately summoned the palace maid who served the Empress.
The palace maids helped the Empress lean against the headboard with soft cushions. Feng Xilan knew that Shen Biyun needed rest most right now, so she quickly got up, took the box containing the Emperor's brocade robe with both hands, curtsied, and took her leave.
"Your Majesty, please rest well. I will take my leave now." Feng Xilan hugged the brocade box, glanced at Shen Biyun with some heartache, and turned to leave.
After leaving Fengyi Palace, Feng Xilan did not immediately go to find Feng Guche.
After her divorce from Mu Chenshuang and several ups and downs in the court, Feng Xilan's temperament has been tempered. She is no longer as spirited as she once was, but has become more cautious and has even learned to read people's expressions.
Today, he noticed in court that Feng Guche looked unwell and was irritable and impatient, so he did not intend to provoke him by bringing up Shen Biyun's matter.
Feng Xilan secretly planned that now that the City King had been beaten, there was still a mess to clean up with his subordinates and their affairs.
He could take this opportunity to handle some important matters first, and then report to the Emperor. Once the Emperor was pleased, he could then take out the brocade robe embroidered by the Empress herself.
Having made up her mind, Feng Xilan's gaze fell on the brocade box containing the brocade robe in his hand, her expression becoming even more resolute, and her steps even more steady.
After Feng Xilan left Fengyi Palace, a figure quickly flashed away and disappeared between the palace walls.
