Yuwen Feng’s mouth curled into a slight smile as he leaned back, listening to Yun Qingyi’s words. He knew she wasn’t telling the truth, and he knew it was almost certainly true that she had sent people to the Yeling Continent to kill that child. Yet, he didn’t care. As long as Yun Qingyi was still willing to put effort into humoring him, didn't that simply show that he still held a place in her heart?
Seeing the chill in Yuwen Feng’s eyes recede, Yun Qingyi knew he believed her explanation. She put on a forced, strained smile and lowered her head slightly. "I didn't want to bring this up with you, my husband. After all, it is my own failing that I have not been able to bear you a son or a daughter. I never expected you to find out. Fortunately, Concubine Yu was able to bear you a firstborn son; otherwise, the guilt would have left me unable to eat or sleep in peace."
Yuwen Feng merely raised an eyebrow at her feigned smile. As she lowered her head, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes when he caught sight of her hairpin. He stood up and slowly walked behind her. Observing her attire for the day, his lips curled slightly. He reached out, pulled her to her feet, and drew her into his arms. Looking down at her with a wicked glint in his eyes, he teased, "Madam, your appearance today seems a bit different from usual. It seems... you look a bit more tender and delicate."
