Chapter 1123: Unbearable Days

Crown Prince Lu smacked his lips and looked at his mother with tears in his eyes.
He hated that he couldn’t talk. He wanted to ask where the crown prince had gone.
Why had such a powerful person disappeared all of a sudden?
He couldn’t speak, so he could only cry.
However, he had also received Lu Fenying’s warning and knew that he couldn’t cry anymore. This father really had a bad temper, especially since he wasn’t his biological son and was just adopted.
If his mother found out, she definitely wouldn’t defend him.
So… Crown Prince Lu was scared.
Mo Qian’er’s motherly side was strong. She took Crown Prince Lu away from Lu Fenying and said, “Why are you threatening your son?”
Lu Fenying was extremely handsome, but when he coldly intimidated someone, even noble families were afraid of him, let alone such a young child.
Mo Qian’er despised Lu Fenying even more.
She didn’t even want to talk to him unless it was a special matter.
It was fine if he bullied her, but he even bullied his son.
In the end, Crown Prince Lu admitted defeat and Mo Qian’er was brought back to Heavenly Wind Empire by Lu Fenying.
When no one was around, Mo Qian’er said to her son, “Even if you don’t want to leave, don’t cry like this. Your body isn’t in good shape to begin with. Sigh… I don’t want to leave either, but I have no choice… Given my identity…”
Crown Prince Lu smiled and nodded while holding his mother’s snow-white fox fur collar.
Mo Qian’er knew that her son understood her.
“Mother is useless after all.”
Crown Prince Lu patted his mother’s head. It’s fine. I’ll protect you when I’m older.
The emperor was just a father with a bad personality. When the crown prince was older, they would see who was afraid of whom.
A wise man knew when to submit.
After Mo Qian’er left, Gu Bailu felt even more lonely. She chatted with Bu Yaolian every day and stayed in Prince Zi’s residence without returning to the palace.
She didn’t want to care about national affairs or think about what would happen to the human world in the end.
She couldn’t even protect her son; how could she care about protecting the human world?
She wasn’t a saint.
Feng Qingtian knew that she was in a poor mood, so he let her be.
He went to the palace every morning and returned to Prince Zi’s residence after he was done with government affairs.
The empress dowager was in charge of the palace. In any case, Feng Qingtian had no harem to begin with.
Although Gu Bailu was in a poor mood, she could tell that Feng Qingtian was as upset as she was.
When he came back from the palace, Gu Bailu was a little nicer to him.
Bu Yaolian started to show after two months. Su Shenfan could finally see for himself that he really was going to become a father.
Su Shenfan was even more unwilling to let Yaolian run around. He wouldn’t let her go anywhere outside the house.
The house had several rooms, and if Bu Yaolian wanted to exercise, she could only walk around here.
March came, and the yellow orioles took flight. The earth came back to life, and the willow trees bloomed. Bright and beautiful spring had come, and all the citizens of Pale Emperor City changed into spring clothes.
The citizens were all happy, but… the noble families of Pale Emperor City weren’t.
Because it was spring, and they were planning to get new clothes… But there were no new fabrics for spring this year, and no embroiderers.
The shops truly didn’t have any new fabrics this year. They only had ordinary fabrics which the noble families normally wouldn’t even glance at.
Even if they took out the top-quality fabrics which they still had at home, there were no embroiderers.
In the past, all the embroiderers on the streets fought for the business of the noble families, to make clothes for them.
Now, these embroiderers had disappeared.
All the embroidery mills were closed.
Where were they?
They were all at the empress’s maternal home!
