Chapter 1006 - 1008 Heaven Destined Phoenix Star (2)
He walked to the front of the couch and, lifting his robe, knelt on the ground and said to Empress Mo, "Son asks mother to eat!"
Empress Mo neither spoke nor opened her eyes, just lay there motionless.
Nangong Yi waited for a while, and seeing that Empress Mo had no response, he signaled to Chai Feng, who was standing behind him, with a glance; Chai Feng then withdrew, and Nangong Yi remained kneeling there for the time being.
The mother and son stayed in deadlock, she lying there refusing to eat, he kneeling here refusing to stand, neither of them speaking, yet none willing to concede!

Cai Wei sat in her boudoir from evening until it was thoroughly dark, and still, Nangong Yi had not come; she felt somewhat uneasy, so she sent Brother Ying to gather information.
Brother Ying was a Divine Beast, best known for finding things. It only took him three to five minutes to locate Nangong Yi, after which he perched outside Empress Mo’s sleeping chamber, stretching his head to peep in while reporting back what he saw.
"Master, it seems that King Qin is being punished by Empress Mo; he is currently kneeling in front of her couch reflecting on his behavior!"
Upon hearing that he was being punished, Cai Wei instinctively felt that this related to her and immediately became alert. "Listen carefully, what are they saying?"
Brother Ying cocked its head and listened for a long while then, disappointed, said, "They haven’t spoken at all, just one lying down, the other kneeling, neither minding the other, uh... someone is coming!"
Chief Eunuch Zhu Zhong entered, followed by the expressionless Chai Feng.
