The outcome of this situation depended on whether the strategy was fully realized; it was uncertain if this person would want to strangle her. Feng Yu wanted to use her, but she too wished to take advantage of Feng Yu. This was a battle of wits between players, unlike Feng Yu, who was new to the game; she had complete memories and experiences and did not believe she would lose.
She pulled Luo Bai into her embrace and gently comforted him with sweet words, which helped calm his mood. Her gaze discreetly assessed Luo Bai from head to toe, finally landing on the identity token.
One drawback of ancient times was the lack of facial recognition technology; fingerprint authentication would have been extremely convenient. Everything required a physical proof, which was usually kept close at hand. Losing it could lead to significant trouble, and what could be more convincing as evidence for assassination than Luo Bai's identity token?
Obtaining it should not be difficult, but the challenge lay in replacing it with an identical counterfeit to delay Luo Bai's discovery, giving Feng Yu a chance to act. However, being in the inner palace made it difficult to find someone to create a fake token. Contacting Feng Yu now seemed unrealistic.
Perhaps sensing her gaze linger, Luo Bai took out a black token and asked, "Are you looking at this?"
Yun Zhi Yue candidly admitted, "Yes. Most tokens are gold, silver, or bronze; your black one is quite rare."
Luo Bai rubbed the token casually and replied, "Yes, it's made from a rare black mysterious iron found within the palace. This type of metal is extremely scarce and hard to replicate."
Yun Zhi Yue's eyelids twitched. Did he guess her intentions and say that on purpose? Upon reflection, that seemed unlikely; she must be overthinking it. However, since it couldn't be replicated outside, she had no choice but to resort to desperate measures.
She decided not to show any curiosity and pretended it was just a casual question. As dawn approached, Luo Bai had to leave after some intimate exchanges at Yao Xian Palace.
Naturally, Yun Zhi Yue couldn’t sleep. With Feng Yu about to leave soon, packing her belongings wouldn’t take long. Therefore, she needed to announce her pregnancy as soon as possible to take the next steps.
After some contemplation, Yun Zhi Yue visited De Fei Palace and then secluded herself upon returning.
Three days later, Yun Zhi Yue had a verbal spat with Liang Fei in Yuying Garden. Such conflicts were common in the inner palace, akin to eating and drinking; after all, Yun Zhi Yue was currently favored above all others. It was normal for some people to express their displeasure with sarcastic remarks.
What was unusual was that Yun Zhi Yue became so enraged that she fainted. When the imperial physician checked her pulse upon regaining consciousness, he confirmed that she was pregnant.
The Emperor had been left in a daze, sitting on the Dragon Throne for quite some time without reacting. It was only when Luo Bai reminded him to check on Yun Fei that he stumbled his way toward the inner palace.
At this moment, Luo Bai also felt unsteady, the word "pregnant" echoing heavily in her mind. After a few exchanged words, Liang Fei unfortunately found herself confined by the Emperor for two months, and this was under the condition that Yun Zhi Yue had not suffered any harm.
In the inner palace, De Fei and Liang Fei were supposed to preside over matters together, but now De Fei had completely taken the lead.
"Your Majesty, my sister Yun Fei is truly wronged. Liang Fei is merely relying on her status as one of the four consorts, which is why my sister does not dare to speak up, leading to her current distress. Now that my sister is with child, Your Majesty might as well grant her an identity that no one can offend. This way, when you handle state affairs, you won’t have to worry about her being bullied."
The Emperor's eyes brightened; this was indeed a good idea. However, an identity that no one could offend could only belong to the Empress. Although the Empress was under house arrest in Feng Gong and the Chancellor was bedridden, she was still an old minister who had won people's hearts. If those in the inner palace spoke ill of her, it would only bring shame upon him; thus, he truly could not dispose of the Empress.
