章 208: I am not going anymore! Part I

When Bai Yu woke up, Ouyang Feilong was already gone. There was still his warmth left on the mattress beside her. She had been tired more easily lately, and so she would go to sleep before Ouyang Feilong came back to the palace. Almost every morning, she would wake up to find a trace of his warmth. And on the nights that he did not come, Xiao Xi would tell her that he slept in the royal study.

As the son of heaven, Ouyang Feilong was working hard for citizens and the nation in a way he was not used to. He had to govern and not fight on the battlefield, as he had done for over a decade. Bai Yu understood this well, so she tried to avoid causing problems for her lover.

It had been almost two weeks that the wind blew in the direction of her palace. All the consorts and concubines knew that Bai Yu had laid a trap, letting Mu De Fei feel complacent first before striking back and taking over her power, then reducing the Empress Dowager’s power all in one fell swoop.
