Chapter 752: Chapter 752: The Matter Brother Ye is Pondering Over_1

It was only then that the Dowager Empress came out of her memories with Qin Kun and turned her attention towards Concubine Jiang, "Let’s go."

"We’re leaving?" Concubine Jiang was somewhat puzzled.

But the Dowager Empress had already turned and started walking away, leaving Concubine Jiang with no choice but to follow.

"Concubine, if you wish to take the Empress’s place, there’s something your aunt needs to remind you of," the Dowager Empress said as they walked.

"Your Grace, please speak," Concubine Jiang held back her frustration and impatience.

"You are still young, you must be patient in all things!"

"Even in the face of someone as lowly born as Nan Feng, I should still bear it?" challenged Concubine Jiang.

"Think for yourself, can she pose a threat to you?" the Dowager Empress asked.

"It’s the Emperor, he always tends to favor her," replied Concubine Jiang, "That’s why I..."

"Then think about it, will the Emperor make her his Empress? At most, he considers her his confidante. You are his concubine, there are things he can’t say to you, but can confide in that commoner woman. Learn from Empress De, she knows how to be more considerate and serve others better than you."

Concubine Jiang blushed, but could only bow and say, "Yes, thank you for your guidance, aunt."

...

In Siyuan, after those at the gate had walked away, Nan Feng finally turned around.

She then sighed slowly, looking down at a weed on the ground. She pulled up the weed, murmuring, "This palace, it likes to categorize people into different ranks. My situation is the same as this weed, anyone can uproot me at will."

She knew that the Dowager Empress and Concubine Jiang had come, but she decided to play ignorant.

Now, only Old Xing was left. So, it seemed as though Nan Feng was speaking to him. Old Xing raised his head, but said nothing.

After many years in the palace, he had also learned to be patient.

Nan Feng smiled and asked, "Old Xing, does it tire you out, living so cautiously in the palace?"

"Lady Nan Feng, this old servant has no choice but to live this way."

"Do you ever wish to leave the palace? If one day I were to leave, would you come with me? You could be my gardener, I’m good to my servants, I definitely wouldn’t mistreat you," Nan Feng said with a smile.

Old Xing looked at the sky, then at the ground, but did not reply.

The world outside the palace had become distant to him, so distant that he could no longer remember what it was like.

...

The Emperor unrolled the letter he had taken from a pigeon’s leg. The words were smaller now, the sentences longer, the paper was full of complaints about the oppression in the harem, how complex the fight between women was, how cautious she had to be.

However, there was a line at the end, "I’m fortunate to have the Emperor’s help."

Just one sentence like this was enough to make the Emperor’s heart bloom with joy.

Nan Feng’s letters initially started with complaints about the Emperor, then she stopped mentioning him altogether, but now, she was expressing gratitude for his help. How could he not be joyful?

It was strange that the gratitude from such a reserved and quiet woman could make him so happy.

All the imperial concubines in the palace, they would risk their lives for his favor, even if it were only for one night.

After much contemplation, the Emperor reached a conclusion: It seemed that I, too, have begun to demean myself!

...

When Yege, in the land beyond the frontier, received Nan Feng’s letter and saw the sentence "I’m fortunate to have the Emperor’s help", he pondered over it for a long time.
