"Your majesty, in all the dynasties, there has never been a imperial concubine without an imperial concubine, but now there isn't even an imperial concubine. This humble subject believes that Nalan Duo'er is most suitable to take over the position of imperial concubine."

The person who said this was a close subordinate of the Nalan Duo'er family within the Phantom Fire Kingdom. The reason why Nalan Duo'er was able to smoothly become Xuanyuan Zhiling's concubine was also because of this old official's recommendation. Because of this, Xuanyuan Zhiling suspected that this old man was in cahoots with Song You, but did not have the chance to get rid of him.

"Nalan Duo'er? You mean you want her to continue to do evil things in the harem? "You have the nerve to introduce a person like her who has ill intentions and tricks to me. I don't have the chance to criticize you for this matter."

As Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, his eyes stared straight at the old official, causing his expression to become extremely ugly, but he did not dare say anything more.

"Your majesty, this subject should bring the empress back. Could it be that the harem has been abandoned like this?" A cold expression quickly flashed across Qiu Shangjing's face when he said this, but Xuanyuan Zhiling could still see his determination from his eyes.

Xuanyuan Zhiling laughed coldly, his smile carrying a bit of helplessness.

"Bringing them back is easier said than done. Does our empress still need our care?" Xuanyuan Zhiling's voice was very soft, as though he was muttering to himself, but also seemed to be complaining to the group of officials.

When the gathered officials heard Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, they all started to discuss among themselves. They felt that something was wrong with Xuanyuan Zhiling ever since he returned from the Misty Palace, but they dared not say anything and could only quietly discuss amongst themselves.

"Alright, let's call it a day for today's morning assembly. This Emperor doesn't want to hear any unreliable suggestions regarding the empress anymore." With that, Xuanyuan Zhiling turned and left, not caring about how the officials urged him to stay.

There was no one in the harem, and the empress's position was empty as well. Therefore, many old officials began to borrow from their own influence in the palace to arrange the women of the family in the harem in order to strengthen their family's influence in the palace.

Towards all of these, Xuanyuan Zhiling could only turn a blind eye. After all, all of these things that the old officials had done were within his expectations, as long as they did not go overboard, Xuanyuan Zhiling would not stop them, at worst, he would not touch any of the women.

"Your majesty, there are many more concubines in the imperial harem now, all brought here by old officials. Aren't you going to take a look and bestow the title?" Xiao Linzi bent his waist as he spoke timidly beside Xuanyuan Zhiling.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Zhiling laughed bitterly, and picked up the wine cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

"Titled? They are all political tools, what's the use of crowning or not? Once I give them the title, they will fight endlessly for it from now on. I don't want to do that. "

When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he was a little helpless, but his smile actually carried a little bitterness.

"Your majesty, you're really shrewd. This servant finally accepts it." Xiao Linzi's eyes stared at Xuanyuan Zhiling's face, as he said those words carefully.

"Did you learn to flatter by following those old eunuchs?" Xuanyuan Zhiling laughed indifferently, and said while staring at Xiao Linzi.

"This servant also has a leader. Your Majesty, if you like, this servant will say more in the future." Xiao Linzi's face was full of smiles, as he looked at Xuanyuan Zhiling, trying to please him.

"I don't advocate this. Young eunuch, you still have to serve me properly. Don't learn to be glib, do you understand?"

Sometimes, Xuanyuan Zhiling would calm down and think, that he had already obtained the world, and no one would dare say twice here, but was that really what he wanted? If so, why was his heart so empty?

It was already the beginning of summer, but the entire Misty Palace was still as abundant as it was in spring. This was because Misty Palace was a very unique location, and in a small col, the airflow was very special, which also led to the unique climate of Misty Palace.

Once he entered through the Misty Palace door, he saw an extremely large lotus pond. A gentle breeze would cause the fragrance of the lotus flowers to float past. Beyond the Lotus Pond was the main hall of the Misty Palace. The highest position of the main hall was the throne of the Misty Palace Lord, Liu Yue.

Qin Feng had arranged for Qin Feng to stay in the eastern wing of the main hall. This eastern wing might not be considered big or small, but the good thing was that when they opened the rear window, they could see the magnificent view of the Misty Peak.

Ever since Qin Feng's injuries had mostly healed, she had always relied on the scenery outside the window to relieve her boredom. Sometimes Song Mingzhi would come over from time to time to pay attention to him, but Qin Feng never took it seriously.

One day, Qin Feng stood in front of the window and looked at the Misty Peak shrouded in clouds. There were layers of mist between the trees that gave off a sense of mysteriousness.

"Qin Feng, have you been living well in the Misty Palace these past few days?"

Outside the door, a woman's clear voice was like a silver bell. This person was none other than the Asgard Master of the Misty Palace, Liu Yue.

Qin Feng was startled, she did not expect that Liu Yue would come to see her. To be exact, she was not looking at her, but trying to demonstrate his might.

"Thank you for taking me in and taking care of me." Qin Feng smiled faintly, showing a sense of forcing herself to smile.

Even after saying these words, Qin Feng's gaze was still fixated on the Misty Peak outside the window.

When Liu Yue saw this Qin Feng, she was first stunned by her cold attitude, then smiled faintly: "There's no need to thank me. I didn't come today to chase you away, I just wanted to announce a good news to you."

The two words of good news inexplicably caused Qin Feng's heart to tremble violently. She had a bad premonition.

"What good news?" I still want to congratulate you before I hear the true content of your good news. " Qin Feng tried her best to remain calm as she unconsciously clenched her fists.

Liu Yue let out a light laugh, and a gloomy look quickly flashed across her face. The corner of her mouth seemed to carry a slight sneer, and her smile contained a bit of ridicule.

"I'm pregnant. Is that good news?" Liu Yue tried to look into Qin Feng's eyes, but Qin Feng was still unable to move.

His heart shuddered violently, and then he began to bleed.

"Are you going to tell me that this child is, is Xuanyuan Zhiling?" Qin Feng's voice was extremely trembling, to the point that Qin Feng was barely able to hear her own words.

Liu Yue scoffed, agreeing to Qin Feng's words.

"You don't have to act like this, Xuanyuan Zhiling no longer has anything to do with you, do you not understand?" When he said these words, Liu Yue's face was gloomy and cold, that kind of gloominess seemed to have come from the depths of hell.

Liu Yue's every word was sharp, and she could only let out a bitter laugh in a helpless situation.

"Alright, is that what you came here to tell me? Now that you're done, you can leave. " Qin Feng said coldly, her eyes were already filled with hot tears, their tears had already started rolling in.

Although he had finished speaking and Liu Yue seemed to have seen the sorrowful expression on Qin Feng's face that he wanted to admire, he still did not have the intention to leave.

"Go?" Don't forget that this entire Misty Palace is mine, where do you want me to go? Do you think you have the right to do so? " Liu Yue let out a light laugh, and her tone carried a trace of gentleness.

Was Liu Yue really pregnant? This news was simply like a bolt out of the blue. If Liu Yue was really pregnant with Xuanyuan Zhiling's child, then who was she? Her children were gone, and Xuanyuan Zhiling no longer contacted her like before.

Qin Feng's heart was constantly dripping blood, and she had already completely collapsed.

"Alright, since you're not leaving, can I leave now?"

With that, Qin Feng turned and left, but she was suddenly grabbed by the wrist of Liu Yue.

"Don't leave, if not Song Mingzhi would have thought that I was the one who forced you to leave." As Liu Yue spoke, she turned around and left. Seeing Liu Yue stepping out of the doorstep, Qin Feng's tears couldn't help but flow down from the corners of her eyes.

Liu Yue walked out of the room, and the moment she stepped out of the door, her posture became heroic and bold, because she had been pretending to be a pregnant woman just now. In order for Qin Feng to believe what she had said, she had to be extremely careful with every step.

"How is it? Does Qin Feng believe you? " Song Mingzhi had long been sitting in his own room, waiting for Liu Yue to come out. When Liu Yue walked in, she closed the door, as if afraid that the news would spread.

When Liu Yue heard this, she let out a light laugh, and her expression carried a little coldness.

"If I, Liu Yue were to go, what thing wouldn't I be able to accomplish?" A trace of confidence quickly flashed through the corner of Liu Yue's eyes. This light also carried a trace of confidence, allowing Song Mingzhi, who was previously in a state of suspense, to finally calm down.

Because Song Mingzhi knew that Qin Feng's medical skills were incredible, and to a certain extent, Song Mingzhi was worried that Liu Yue would be able to see through it with just one glance.

Song Mingzhi heard and laughed lightly before saying: "That's not bad. You must not relax by all means in the future. Qin Feng is not someone who can be easily deceived like we imagined."

Even though these words did not fit with Liu Yue's intentions, Liu Yue knew clearly in her heart that Song Mingzhi's words were extremely logical, so Liu Yue nodded her head very seriously.

"Of course I know that." A tinge of seriousness appeared on Liu Yue's face.

Song Mingzhi nodded his head, the emotions between his brows seemed to be slightly complicated, as if he had thought of something troublesome, and he was not in a good mood.

"Why aren't you happy? Our plan has already been successfully accomplished, and now, as long as I find Xuanyuan Zhiling and really give birth to his child, we can continue our plan. " Liu Yue said these words with a face full of determination, and even unswerving determination.

Song Mingzhi had obviously noticed the dark and cold look on Liu Yue's face. He knew that Liu Yue had already made up her mind that she would definitely obtain Xuanyuan Zhiling this time.

"I'm just thinking, the current Qin Feng must be extremely sad, right?" Song Mingzhi sighed, although all of these plans had been made by him and Liu Yue, he still couldn't help but feel sorry for Qin Feng, even if she was just grieving for another man.

Very quickly, Xuanyuan Zhiling received a letter from the Misty Palace. The content was written by the Misty Palace Palace Master Liu Yue, and the general content was to tell Xuanyuan Zhiling that she was pregnant with Xuanyuan Zhiling's child. When Xuanyuan Zhiling saw the contents of the letter, his heart trembled violently.

Xuanyuan Zhiling sat on the chair and hung his hands down powerlessly, his face full of helplessness.

"Qin Feng, are you alright? I brought you lunch. " Song Mingzhi knew that this attack would be fatal, because the injuries he had suffered previously had caused Qin Feng's child to die. Now that she knew that her man was pregnant with another woman, how terrifying would this attack be?

In order to take more care of Qin Feng, Song Mingzhi had already decided that he would take good care of Qin Feng and make her completely forget about the man that he should not have fallen in love with, the man that did not belong to her.

Song Mingzhi's heart tightened. He suddenly widened his eyes as he nervously crashed into the door. He thought of a terrifying possibility, and that was that Qin Feng wouldn't be stumped by it, right?

The moment Song Mingzhi slammed the door open, his eyes quickly searched the room for Qin Feng's figure. After discovering that there was no one hanging in the room, Song Mingzhi finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Then, he saw Qin Feng curled up at the foot of the bed.
