Cang Xixue shook her head at Feng Guche and insisted, "No, it's all because I care about Your Majesty that I did such a thing to the Empress."
"Your Majesty the Empress is truly devoted to His Majesty, and I know and believe this without a doubt."
Cang Xixue raised her head to look at Feng Guche, her dark eyes filled with a pleading look, "If Your Majesty truly cares for me and orders me to rest, then please allow the Empress to take care of Your Majesty."
"If the Empress could take care of Your Majesty, I could rest assured to recuperate. Otherwise, I really can't bear to leave Your Majesty's side and would like to stay and take care of Your Majesty myself."
Thinking of Shen Biyun, Feng Guche was actually somewhat resistant to accepting her care, but seeing Cang Xixue's pale appearance and tired body, Feng Guche really couldn't bear to see her working so hard and couldn't bear to refuse her suggestion.
"Alright, I promise you. I will send the Empress. You should rest well." Feng Guche said, pulling Cang Xixue into his arms.
Cang Xixue had a faint smile on her lips, but her eyes were icy cold, and even showed a hint of smug satisfaction at her successful scheme.
After Cang Xixue left, Feng Guche thought for a moment and then ordered Eunuch Gao to summon Empress Shen Biyun to his side to take care of her.
Women in the harem, such as Consort Rong, were eagerly hoping for a chance to regain the emperor's favor. After much effort, they managed to find out that Cang Xixue had been taking care of them tirelessly for many days and nights and finally collapsed. They originally thought that the good thing of showing their face and serving Feng Guche would fall on them, but they did not expect that the Empress would take the advantage for free. They were all angry, jealous and resentful.
Shen Biyun was initially surprised to receive this news, but she was also delighted and even grateful to Cang Xixue.
Shen Biyun had always harbored resentment towards Cang Xixue's return to the palace and was always wary of her. She felt that Cang Xixue might already know that she had played a part in the way she was framed back then, and that she would definitely find an opportunity to take revenge on her after returning to the palace.
But to her surprise, Cang Xixue has been back in the palace for so long now, and she is completely different from what she imagined.
Although Cang Xixue's son's desire for power is now almost out in the open, Cang Xixue remains calm and serene, seemingly having no desire for anything.
Feng Guche's doting on Cang Xixue after her return to the palace was beyond Shen Biyun's expectations, which made Shen Biyun even more uneasy and hostile towards Cang Xixue.
Not only did Cang Xixue not have any desire for exclusive favor, but she was also always polite and respectful to the Empress. Even after she fell ill, she took the opportunity to take care of and get close to the Emperor.
This immediately changed Shen Biyun's opinion of her, and she even felt a strange sense of guilt towards Cang Xixue. After all, if it weren't for her tacit approval, Cang Xixue wouldn't have been framed and forced to leave the palace to live alone with a Buddhist lamp for so many years.
At one point, Shen Biyun even felt that Cang Xixue's days of longing over the years had been so bitter that it pained her as a woman. In a daze, Shen Biyun realized that she shouldn't be targeting Cang Xixue like this anymore.
The moment Shen Biyun stepped into Feng Guche's bedchamber, she felt a little uneasy.
