A bright moon hung above the trees, casting silver light over the palace. Everything looked mysterious and hazy under the moonlight.
In just one day and night, Chang’an was already in turmoil — Xiao Ming had been attacked, and the Crown Prince was under house arrest.
“Your Majesty, the Empress has been kneeling outside for half an hour. If she keeps kneeling like this, what will happen to her health?” said Feng Deshui, watching Emperor Xiao Wenxuan pacing back and forth.
Ever since he returned from the Eastern Palace, the Emperor had been agitated. Feng Deshui knew that the Crown Prince’s act of hiding the Khan’s tribesmen inside the palace had completely thrown the Emperor off balance.
“If she likes kneeling, let her kneel! If she hadn’t spoiled the Crown Prince so much, would he be this useless?” Xiao Wenxuan roared.
Feng Deshui shrank back a little. It was clear that the Emperor was truly furious this time.
He sighed and tried again, “Your Majesty, even if not for Empress Zhao’s sake, shouldn’t you consider the royal baby she’s carrying?”
Xiao Wenxuan frowned. Only then did he remember the Empress was pregnant. He gave a cold snort and said, “Let her in.”
Feng Deshui nodded. He knew the Emperor was only angry about the Crown Prince, but deep down, he still cared for Empress Zhao.
After all, Feng Deshui had served Xiao Wenxuan since youth — he knew very well how much the Emperor cherished her.
