Yongning Palace, fragrant.
The Empress Dowager leaned back on the red pearwood armchair and closed her eyes to rest. She allowed the two skilled palace maids to trim her exquisitely maintained nails.
Yongning Palace was grand and magnificent. All the decorations on the palace indicated the noble and inviolable identity of the palace owner.
When they were trimming their nails, the palace maids did not make any noise so as not to disturb the noble Empress Dowager's rest.
An elderly palace maid came in from outside the palace. Her feet did not make any sound. She bent over and whispered in the Empress Dowager's ear," Your Majesty, he's here. Where did he come from?"”
The empress dowager's closed eyes slowly opened, and her phoenix eyes looked up. Her face, which had no wrinkles at all, was expressionless, and her eyes flashed with an elite light.
He seemed to smile, but at the same time, he didn't seem to smile. "Got it." The empress dowager responded and closed her eyes again.
The old palace maid stood at the side with her hands hanging by her side.
A moment later, Qin Feng hurried over and greeted the empress dowager.”
The Empress Dowager opened her eyes again. Seeing Qin Feng, she revealed a motherly kindness.”
As he spoke, he stood up and waved away the palace maids around him. He placed his hand on the hand of the old palace maid and sat up, showing extreme joy. "Li Ran, Yu Ran, why aren't you looking at the tea?”He called for the palace maids to bring tea.
Qin Feng frowned and bowed,"Mother, your son came this time to ask for a favor."”
The empress dowager was still happy about Qin Feng's arrival.”He complained,"Feng 'er hasn't come to visit aijia for a long time."”
It was as if Qin Feng was her precious son.
Qin Feng was startled and said,"It was your son's negligence. I will visit mother often."”
The empress dowager held her maid's hand and stood up. Her face still looked young with a smile."Aijia is joking. Feng 'er should be focusing on state affairs. How can he come to see aijia every day?"”
Qin Feng took a step back,"Mother, your son came this time because I have something to ask of you."”
When the empress dowager heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly. A trace of displeasure flashed past her eyes, but she returned to smiling. "What do you mean you have something to ask?”The empress dowager seemed to be angry as she took the tea from Yu Ran and slowly opened the lid. The fragrance spread out and she looked at the tea leaves before saying to Qin Feng,"Feng 'er, try it too, it's the best Yuhua Fresh from Mujiang.”
Qin Feng was silent for a while before looking up at the empress dowager who wasn't smiling. He said seriously,"Mother, your son implores you to let Fan Bei go.”
The Empress Dowager blew on the tea leaves without making a sound.
Qin Feng continued,"Yun Zhong is your man and I know that it was your idea to take Fan Bei away, but your son can guarantee with his life that Fan Bei is innocent."”"Oh? Innocent, just because she took a knife for you?”The empress dowager put down her cup and stopped smiling. She looked at Qin Feng and asked casually. "Not only because she took a knife for me…"
Before Qin Feng finished, the empress dowager interrupted him. "Feng 'er, I know that as an emperor, it's inevitable to be lonely. It wasn't easy for you to get someone that you like, so you definitely don't want to let go.”The empress dowager's tone changed." But Feng 'er, think about it. You're the emperor and you have all kinds of women. Why do you want a scheming woman of unknown origin?”
Qin Feng interrupted her. I don't have any other thoughts about Ah Bei." "Such a title, Feng 'er." The empress dowager shook her head.
"No, it's just that Fan Bei isn't a bad person. Mother, believe me."”
The empress dowager sighed and looked at Qin Feng with a disappointed expression. You're still young and don't understand the power of this relationship. But your Imperial Father entrusted you to me. If anything happens to you, how can I explain it to your Imperial Father..."
As he spoke, he used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes.
Qin Feng saw this and knew she did it on purpose but he couldn't find anything to say to her. "Feng 'er, you have to know that you are the ruler of West Qin.”
The Empress Dowager said earnestly.
Qin Feng lost without a fight and pondered for a long time before saying,"Mother, then let me see her again.”
The Empress Dowager took another sip of tea in a graceful manner." It's indeed Yuhua Xin from Mujiang. It's a pity that I can't drink it in the future."”He said this casually, but there was a hidden meaning behind it.
Then he looked at Qin Feng with a victorious smile."Alright, go say goodbye."
Qin Feng bowed again and said in a low voice,"Thank you mother, your son will take his leave."”
As he spoke, he walked out with heavy footsteps.
The empress dowager finished her tea, her eyes secretly rippling.
He put away all his expressions and smiled coldly.
The palace maid asked,"Your Highness, will he listen to you?"”
The corners of the Empress Dowager's lips curled up. She asked back with determination," What do you think?”
In the prison, Fan Bai watched as the stone door slowly opened. A familiar face appeared behind the door. "Ah Feng!"
She called out in surprise.
