278. The Bold Act of Third Feng
Inside Prince Ding's Mansion, upon hearing the words brought back by Ye Li, Feng Zhiyao remained silent for a long time, unable to say anything. Ye Li felt helpless about this. Standing in Feng Zhiyao's shoes, she could naturally blame the Empress's stubbornness for delaying Feng Zhiyao. However, this could not entirely be blamed on the Empress. She had never given Feng Zhiyao any hope, and what she was doing now was indeed the best a woman, especially a woman of her time and status as an Empress, could do. Ye Li could not demand a woman, taught to honor her loyalty to the king and uphold traditional female virtues, to meet her own standards.
"Xiuyao, about Third Feng…" Ye Li asked with a hint of worry.
Mo Xiuyao lifted his head from the scroll in his hands and said, "Don't worry about him; he knows his limits."
