The words were undoubtedly a great comfort to the emperor, whose life was nearing its end.
The court was unusually quiet; the emperor appeared almost deranged, chuckling to himself as he read through the memorials, as if he were perusing a storybook. He then summoned Yun Zhi Yue to join him, and the two whispered to each other about the documents, completely ignoring the ministers in One Hall.
Feng Yu stood among the ministers, observing the two at the head of the table with a look of confusion in his eyes. As he left the court and returned to his residence, he felt a heavy weight on his mind, as if something troubled him.
As the sun set, a servant entered carrying a pot of ordinary green plants. "This is from the Imperial Noble Consort," he said. "She sent it over because she thought it would be excessive to abandon all the flowers and plants in the garden just because you are leaving the capital. She suggested you take at least one pot with you, to see how well this little plant can thrive away from Qin Wang Fu."
Feng Yu took the pot of greenery, dismissed the servant, and gazed at the plant for a long time. Finally, he pulled it out of its pot, revealing a corner of a black plaque buried in the soil.
Looking at the grass in his hand, severed from its roots, and then at the plaque hidden in the dirt, Feng Yu did not hesitate. He discarded the plant and dug out the plaque. After cleaning it thoroughly, he confirmed it was indeed made of dark iron, which meant it was genuine.
No matter how Yun Zhi Yue had managed to obtain this plaque in such a short time, Luo Bai could not escape responsibility for this assassination attempt. It had been several days since he had requested to resign from his position with the emperor; he could no longer delay—time was of the essence.
That night, Qin Wang Fu was attacked by assassins. To Feng Yu's surprise, what he had initially anticipated would be a serious injury turned out to be fatal due to another wave of assassins. He barely managed to hand over the dark iron plaque to the emperor before losing consciousness.
That night, not only was Feng Yu attacked; other young members of the Royal Family in the capital who had any chance of rising in status were also targeted by assassins. Those who were unfortunate enough to be caught in this wave of violence perished in the capital, while Feng Yu was among those fortunate enough to survive.
The exposure of the plaque brought disaster upon Luo Bai. Surrounded by Imperial Guards, Luo Bai did not resist when captured, fully aware that he would become a sacrificial lamb.
Among these Royal Family members, Feng Yu held a respected position due to his identity. The emperor personally visited Qin Wang Fu to express his concern and took advantage of Feng Yu's unconscious state to inform Qin Wang that his legitimate eldest son had been gravely injured and insisted that he come to the capital immediately.
If he did not come, Feng Yu would surely die; even if he did come, there was no guarantee that both father and son would survive—it all depended on how Qin Wang chose to act.
At this moment, as Yun Zhi Yue made her way to Zhao Prison, her mind felt like it was about to explode. From the moment Luo Bai was captured, the Reincarnation Stone had become agitated, incessantly chattering in her head.
【You've messed up the strategy! What have you done?】
【Ah! The strategy has failed, oh no, it's all over.】
【Heavens! If it fails again, it won't be a matter of loving you to death anymore, Yun Zhi Yue. What are you going to do in this world?】
Yun Zhi Yue scoffed, "I don't know what you mean by loving you to death or how your judgment of black value comes about. Let me tell you, feelings cannot be quantified. They change constantly. What you think is full value may not be the limit; what you consider love may not be entirely real. At least for this Luo Bai, achieving full value requires significant stimulation. It's just a temporary fluctuation—why panic?"
Now, in both the court and the harem, there was not a single person unaware of the Imperial Noble Consort's esteemed status and favor. Even in Zhao Prison, which was directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, all the guards treated Yun Zhi Yue with utmost respect.
