Yun Zhi Yue bent down to tend to the plants, not bothering to return the greeting. As she fiddled with the tender leaves in her hands, she smirked and said, "It would be better for the Crown Prince to send it to the Empress; the palace cannot afford the Crown Prince's gifts."
Feng Yu chuckled lightly, "Your Highness, what are you saying? No matter how rare the item is, it has its value. To the Crown Prince, giving it to you is where its true value lies."
Yun Zhi Yue paused for a moment and turned her gaze seriously towards her. "Have you ever thought that everything you possess can be measured by value? What about those who genuinely care for you? Are they not being trampled upon?"
Without any hesitation, Feng Yu replied, "If it belongs to the Crown Prince, what does it matter if it gets trampled?"
Yun Zhi Yue laughed, unsure why she had asked a question with an obvious answer. "Crown Prince, you are indeed suited for a Lonely Person. The Flower and Grass Palace truly appreciates that. Now we can await the Crown Prince's gift."
The term "Lonely Person" was not used lightly.
A glimmer of amusement flashed in Feng Yu's eyes as she realized her goal had been achieved; her smile deepened. After all, as a consort, spending too much time together could be detrimental. The two exchanged a few more words before parting ways in the garden.
Upon returning to the palace and packing her things, Cui Ling expressed her concerns. "Your Highness, are you planning to ally with Qin Wang Shizi? But what if Fang Jieyu is carrying a prince? What will His Majesty think?"
"It doesn't matter," Yun Zhi Yue replied confidently. "Even if he were born, he would just be an infant; how could he compete? His Majesty's health is far from robust."
"When the time comes that he can no longer attend court daily, Da Feng will inevitably fall into chaos. The palace lacks a powerful family backing; we need support within the court."
"After returning to the palace, make sure to assist those rough servant girls more often. Small players have their uses; we need to understand the movements of each palace. Being blind and deaf will not lead us to success."
Cui Ling took a deep breath and immediately responded respectfully. She had a premonition that after this return to the palace, their Yao Xian Palace would no longer be quiet.
As Haohangdang's entourage left the palace, laughter echoed from within the Dragon Carriage.
During this time, aside from visiting Fang Jieyu's Dragon Bloodline, the Emperor spent nearly every day in the company of Yun Guiyi, his affection for her evident.
This outing had undoubtedly brought great rewards for Yun Guiyi. In some respects, it even surpassed Fang Jieyu’s gains since she would have to deal with most of the turmoil upon returning to the palace.
The favor she received was still far less impactful than Longzi’s.
Luo Bai rode behind the Dragon Carriage, his expression darkening with every passing moment. An aura of malevolence surrounded him, causing nearby eunuchs to keep their distance.
The imperial physician Wen Ningmo quietly approached Luo Bai on horseback and asked in a strange tone, "What’s with your complexion? You’re just a palace consort; you cannot change that fact—why bother?"
Luo Bai answered evasively, "How long until I can fully recover?"
Wen Ningmo paused for a moment, finally realizing what Bai Luobai was asking. Hesitantly, he replied, "Just one more needle should do it. You’re not thinking—"
Luo Bai fixed a fierce gaze on Huang Long Nian, the chaotic laughter ringing in his ears, and snapped, "Don't worry about anything else. Just heal me quickly."
Wen Ningmo sighed; even if he wanted to intervene, he needed to have the ability to do so. Changing the subject, he said, "I heard that His Majesty has agreed to let you establish the Si Li Jian. You might find yourself targeted by the powerful officials. Have you thought this through?"
Luo Bai sneered, "So what if I am targeted? The Si Li Jian has the authority to assist His Majesty in reviewing memorials. In the future, it will be easier for me to go after those court officials. What can they do?"
Over the years, His Majesty has neglected court affairs, allowing power to slip away. This is my chance to reclaim authority; how could I not devote myself wholeheartedly to this cause?
Wen Ningmo shook his head; it seemed that Da Feng was heading for chaos.
