As Shufei's pregnancy progressed, Yigui Fei urged me every day to teach her how to perform "Feng Qiu Huang."

The more she practiced, the more severe her chills became.

By the time Yigui Fei's hair turned white at the roots, her chills had spread throughout her body.

Although she dyed her hair black with mulberry, she couldn't hide the fatigue on her face.

Finally, one morning, after Yigui Fei got out of bed, she collapsed back onto it and didn't get up for a long time.

Lying in bed, barely breathing, she asked me to fetch the emperor.

When I found the emperor, he was in Shufei's palace.

He was drinking wine and watching Shufei dance, with a smile on his lips.

It seemed he had forgotten that there was a woman in the palace who had suffered with him during the hard times.

I knelt in the hall and hastily wrote:

"Your Majesty, Yigui Fei is sick! She asks that you come see her."

The emperor's face changed instantly, and without even saying goodbye to Shufei, he went straight to Fengyi Palace.

I exchanged a glance with Shufei on the side, and we both saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes.

Yigui Fei, it wasn't so easy for her to fall from grace.

Although she had fallen out of favor, the years she had spent with the emperor were not so easily erased.

But that's okay, we still had a plan.

During the following week, the emperor rushed to Yigui Fei's bedside every morning, caressing the withered woman and never visiting Shufei again.

When the emperor came to Fengyi Palace, Yigui Fei naturally felt happy in her heart.

Lying pale in the embrace of the emperor, her eyes filled with tears:

"I thought that Your Majesty had abandoned me... I am indeed old, no longer young and interesting like Shufei..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, making her look truly pitiful with her pale face.

Naturally, the emperor was deceived by Yigui Fei's appearance.

He thought of all those years Yigui Fei had stayed by his side.

I stood by, watching the emperor hold Yigui Fei in his arms:

"Yi'er... I have wronged you, rest assured, I promise you, when you recover, I will make you my Empress and when you give birth to a prince in the future, he will be my heir!"

That night, the emperor stayed in Fengyi Palace and personally fed medicine to Yigui Fei.

It was truly difficult to bring her down.

Because of the companionship through those difficult years, Yigui Fei had become the emperor's favorite woman.

Even if she was temporarily out of favor, she could use some means to get back on her feet again.

I stood by, outwardly happy for Yigui Fei, but inside I sneered.

Because I knew that the east wind I was waiting for was about to arrive.

The sky in this palace was about to change.
