Since Lin Feng's demotion, the Wu Emperor had not set foot in this place again. Once the favored prince, he had now become a discarded pawn in the eyes of many. His mother, Consort Lin Feng, whose real name was Lu Wanying, often worried about her son's fate, losing sleep over it. Over time, her health had deteriorated, and she grew increasingly frail.
The Wu Emperor, Lin Zhen, had been indifferent to her plight, not even offering a single word of concern. At this moment in Zi Xiang Courtyard, Lu Wanying sat quietly in her room. Suddenly, urgent shouts from the palace maids broke the silence: "Your Highness, the Emperor is arriving! Quickly prepare to receive him!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanying was momentarily stunned, a look of surprise crossing her face. Then, as if realizing something, she murmured to herself, "Ah? How could it be so sudden? Could it be that the Emperor has come for Feng Er?"
With this thought in mind, Lu Wanying dared not delay for even a moment. She hurriedly got up to groom herself and instructed her servants to prepare hot water for a bath.
Before long, the Wu Emperor Lin Zhen entered the courtyard with steady steps. "This humble servant, Consort Wan, pays her respects to Your Majesty."
"Rise," he replied.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lu Wanying slowly stood up and gracefully took Lin Zhen's outer robe like a delicate willow swaying in the wind, gently placing it on the hanger.
"Consort Wan," he said, "Feng Er has returned. I hereby decree that his status as a prince is restored."
"Really?"
Lu Wanying's heart surged like a vast ocean, turbulent and unsteady; tears flowed from her eyes like a flood breaking through a dam.
"Your Majesty, may I see Feng Er?"
"Of course. Tomorrow after court adjourns, I will have him brought to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Thinking of reuniting with her son the next day made Lu Wanying's sorrow dissipate like morning mist.
The following day, after court adjourned, the Wu Emperor sent someone to notify Lin Feng to visit his mother. When mother and son finally met, Lu Wanying's tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
"Feng Er, how have you been outside?"
"Mother, I am doing well."
Hearing Lin Feng's response, Lu Wanying could sense something. After that incident, she had cried and pleaded to see Wu Emperor Lin Zhen, but was denied an audience.
Lu Wanying knew Lin Feng well; he would never act in such a manner. As she looked at her mother, she noticed the weariness etched on her face.
"Mother, how have you been in the palace?"
"Everything is fine in the palace."
In truth, life in the royal court was monotonous; there was nothing particularly noteworthy about it. The mother and son chatted extensively about how Lin Feng had been eating, where he was staying, and how his days were going.
Lu Wanying asked Lin Feng a myriad of questions over the past few days, which left him somewhat overwhelmed. However, after learning about her son's recent experiences, Lu Wanying felt a wave of happiness; her son had grown up.
Now, the only thing she cared about was Lin Feng.
At noon, after finishing his morning duties, Wu Emperor Lin Zhen arrived at Lu Wanying's quarters.
