Chapter 799: Chapter 799: Will She Be Angry? _1

Xiaoqing handed a piece of cake to Nan Feng, then said: "I’ve heard that we are going back to the palace in a few days because both ladies are pregnant. Well, actually it would be nice to be back in the palace, at least we wouldn’t have to quarrel with a group of palace maids here all day long."

"Yes, it would be good to go back," thought Nan Feng, so she wouldn’t have to face the awkwardness of meeting the Emperor again.

So, the hunting trip ended early.

On the day of the return to the palace, the entourage was still grand. Nan Feng watched from a distance as the Emperor helped De Fei and Zhang Tao into his carriage, carefully letting them sit inside and then he got in the carriage himself.

But just before closing the window and door, the Emperor looked back.

Nan Feng vaguely felt his gaze on her.

Since he saved her that day and they rode back on the same horse, there seemed to be a different layer between them.

As if something had gone sour.

Nan Feng couldn’t explain it clearly.

Perhaps they had become a bit more intimate, but they both knew that this intimacy could not continue between them.

...

Upon returning to the palace, the news of De Fei and Zhang Tao’s pregnancies spread throughout the palace. They were protected by the Emperor like national treasures, not only gaining extra palace maids and guards, but also having an imperial physician visiting them for check-ups every few days.

There were no routine morning meetings with imperial consorts at De Fei’s place anymore. The Emperor forbade anyone to visit them, unless De Fei wished to go out for a walk, otherwise, no one was to see De Fei.

Feeling guilty about kicking the horse that day, De Fei decided to visit Nan Feng when she was bored. Yet, Nan Feng turned a blind eye to De Fei and pretended to be unwell.

The next time De Fei came, Nan Feng bluntly told her not to come again, in case her baby got any problems and would be blamed on Nan Feng.

Because of this, De Fei was upset for a long time and almost had a miscarriage.

When the Emperor came to De Fei’s place that day and saw that De Fei was not in good shape, he asked her what was wrong. De Fei refused to speak ill of Nan Feng. In the end, it was Jie Geng, who attended to De Fei, who told the Emperor that De Fei was upset because of what Nan Feng said to her during a morning visit to Siyuan.

Remembering Nan Feng’s cold and proud eyes, the Emperor knew that Jie Geng had not spoken ill of Nan Feng out of spite, but that the incident really happened.

The Emperor had to comfort De Fei and told her not to go to Siyuan again unless necessary.

De Fei was still a little uncomfortable: "But, if I don’t go, Lady Nan Feng will not forgive me. If she doesn’t forgive me, I always feel as if I’ve done her wrong."

Watching De Fei’s innocent and pitiful eyes, the Emperor said: "Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll talk to her when I’m free."

De Fei immediately nodded: "Yes, your Majesty. You must clarify things and apologize to Lady Nan Feng on my behalf. Even though it would be too troublesome for you, it is indeed inconvenient for me these days."

The Emperor then caressed De Fei’s chin: "I understand, Nan Feng isn’t one to hold grudges. She will forgive you. Now, go ahead and drink this bird’s nest soup, it’s for nourishing the fetus."

Like a child, De Fei picked up the bird’s nest soup and started drinking it.

...

After leaving De Fei’s quarters, the Emperor headed towards Siyuan.

But as he walked past the Imperial Garden and was about to reach Siyuan, his steps halted.

Would she see him?

He had promised to punish De Fei that day, but as soon as he heard that De Fei was pregnant, he showered her with affection again. She must be angry, right?
