The Imperial Palace, Yongning Palace.
Feng Shu had been imprisoned in Yongning Palace for two days. She refused to eat or drink, her expression vacant, and within these mere two days, she had rapidly lost weight. Emperor Yuan Hui was preoccupied with consolidating power and ascending the throne, leaving no time to concern himself with Feng Shu. The Jinyi Guard stationed at Yongning Palace ensured Feng Shu couldn't take a single step outside. The four palace maids attending to her were chosen by Empress Lin Yushu, tending to her daily needs.
After two consecutive days of torrential rain, the downpour eased slightly. Feng Shu sat dazed by the window, watching the rain, when she heard a gentle, familiar voice call out.
Shu'er…
Feng Shu saw Xie Zhang standing there, clad in fine clothing, smiling at her. Her brows curved gently, and she began to laugh foolishly as well. "Brother, come sit with me—I've embroidered a sachet for you."
