Chapter 1028: Chapter 828: What Are the Second Prince’s Orders

Tuoba Lie once again stood up from the tub, and Nan Feng remained unmoved, merely taking a large towel from beside to wipe off the beads of water on his body before helping him to dress.

As she was helping him into his second garment, Tuoba Lie suddenly reached out and pulled her to himself, but the first thing that met his body was Nan Feng’s belly.

Tuoba Lie lowered his head for a glance and immediately felt deflated. Pushing Nan Feng away, he said, "Bad luck."

Nan Feng walked towards the exit while speaking, "I’ve heard from the older generation that having a pregnant woman serve oneself is indeed bad luck. Second Prince, your late-night snack is ready, it’s laid out outside. Please, eat it while it’s hot."

After Tuoba Lie got dressed and came out, he saw Nan Feng standing respectfully beside the table. He swaggered over and sat down at the table, then picked up his chopsticks to try a bite.

The bread soaked in soup was not bad. After taking a bite, Tuoba Lie looked at Nan Feng and said, "Come here."

Nan Feng approached, "What orders do you have, Second Prince?"

"I had originally thought that after capturing you, I would simply lock you in the room, and then torment you ten or eight times every day, but now that you’re pregnant, I find it terribly annoying. Just continue to do this and that for me. Every day I have to look at your dead-fish face, can’t you show me a smile?"

"Second Prince, Nan Feng is sincere to everyone; I cannot do a false show of flattery."

Looking at Nan Feng’s cold face, Tuoba Lie too felt dispirited. "Then you may go. I’ll call you when I need something."

...

Tuoba Lie and the Empress were taking a stroll on the grasslands.

Now that Tuoba Lie had the imperial authority in his grasp, it was only a matter of time before he succeeded to the throne. However, since the troops had been withdrawn, the Empress had been unwilling to see him.

This was also due to Tuoba Yun. Because Tuoba Lie had raised arms again for Nan Feng, offending Dajin, Tuoba Yun in the Palace was certainly having a hard time. They still did not know whether she was dead or alive, so naturally, the Empress would blame Tuoba Lie.

Now that Tuoba Lie had brought Nan Feng back, the Empress was even more infuriated. Therefore, Tuoba Lie kept trying to please the Empress, constantly saying that as long as the troops were withdrawn, Dajin wouldn’t make things difficult for her sister and after some time, they could offer Dajin an apology or tribute some rare items from the grasslands to mend the relationship.

Initially, the Empress ignored Tuoba Lie, but he came every day, and eventually, she couldn’t resist his sweet talk and forgave him.

However, when the Empress saw a woman washing clothes with a basin from a distance, she couldn’t help but ask, "Isn’t that Nan Feng?"

"Yes, Mother Empress."

"What is she doing?"

"Washing your son’s clothes."

"Is she carrying a child in her belly? By the looks of it, she must be five or six months along?"

"According to her, yes," Tuoba Lie, worried that the Empress would be unhappy upon seeing Nan Feng, changed their direction, "Mother Empress, let’s go this way."

"Why did you even bring her back?"

Tuoba Lie replied coolly, "Mother Empress, I brought her back to make her compensate for everything your son has lost. I want to torment her gradually until she kneels down and begs your son. By that time, she will have no more value to use, and then your son will deal with her. So, Mother Empress, before I deal with her, you cannot deal with her in my stead."

The Empress glanced at Nan Feng, then at Tuoba Lie, "Why would I deal with her? I don’t even want to see her. But as for you, make sure you don’t develop real feelings in the end."
