Chapter 1006: Chapter 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.

"Hehehe, Empress Dowager!"

Zhu Zhong’s plump face was all smiles as he personally carried a food box, "This is the Osmanthus cake the Emperor recently made for you; freshly prepared. Please get up and have a taste!"

The Imperial gift from the Emperor, Empress Mo, if she were to refuse, it would constitute the crime of deceiving the emperor. Nangong Yi was using this tactic against Empress Mo, really infuriating her!

This unfilial son, not only refusing to repent, was using the Emperor to coerce her, making it even more vexing that the Emperor had earlier agreed to persuade him on her behalf, and now, instead of persuading, seemed to be aiding his son against her. Overcome with anger, Empress Mo could no longer concern herself with the potential for incriminating faults, simply closed her eyes, remained motionless, and kept silent.

Zhu Zhong glanced at King Qin kneeling on the ground, chuckled, and said, "Oh, look at this old servant’s memory; the Emperor just had a terrible coughing fit, and I was thinking of asking King Qin to attend to him. I nearly forgot, but good thing I ran into King Qin, now I remembered."

Hearing this, Nangong Yi bowed deeply toward the couch, saying, "Imperial Mother, your son will go check on Imperial Father first and will come back to see you in a while!"

Empress Mo still made no sound, and Nangong Yi, feeling helpless, stood up and slowly left.

Zhu Zhong watched as King Qin walked away then, with a smiling face, said to Empress Mo, "Your Highness, do not be angry anymore. The Emperor said that tomorrow he will ask Master Li Guo to read Miss Mu’s face. If she does not have the aspect of a national mother, the Emperor himself will personally order their engagement annulled. But if she truly is the fated Royal Consort, reborn Phoenix Star, the Emperor advises you to let this matter go!"

Empress Mo finally opened her eyes, her gaze sharp, her voice even colder.

"Is the Emperor treating his servant as a child of three, to cajole with such words? Who does not know that Master Li Guo is King Qin’s man, who will naturally speak on that woman’s behalf!"

Zhu Zhong stated, "Your Highness is overthinking it. If Master Li Guo is to determine whether Miss Mu is the fated Phoenix Star, he will naturally present evidence convincing enough that, otherwise, not only you but even the Emperor would not believe such claims. Therefore, Your Highness can rest assured!"

Hearing this, Empress Mo’s eyes narrowed, and she coldly smiled, "Very well. Go tell Master Li Guo, if I find him meddling, I will not let him off lightly."
