The faint scent of sandalwood filled the air, and the refreshing fragrance permeated the atmosphere. Slowly opening his eyes, Xiaoru Feng found himself surrounded by yellow curtains. For a moment, he couldn't tell where he was.

Outside the window, moonlight shimmered like water, and the stars twinkled. In a daze, Xiao Rufeng suddenly remembered something, causing him to startle and hastily get up. However, to his surprise, the pain was unbearable, and he clumsily fell off the bed.

"The young master has awakened, quickly go inform the Emperor!" A palace maid entered the hall upon hearing the sound, her eyes lighting up at the sight of Xiao Rufeng waking up. As she called for another palace maid to inform the Emperor, she hurriedly approached and helped Xiao Rufeng up, sitting him on the bedside."

Xiao Rufeng, however, refused to sit no matter what. There was no other reason for this except that it was the dragon seat. The reason he had hurriedly gotten up before was also because the surroundings were all too familiar to him. This was Murong Junsheng's Zhaoyang Hall.

The palace maid had no choice but to support Xiao Rufeng with her hand, so that he would not fall down from exhaustion.

Before long, Murong Junsheng strode over and came into view. Standing side by side were Xiao Rufeng and a palace maid whose name he didn't know, and to his surprise, the maid's hand was damn well resting on Xiao Rufeng's waist.

Displeased, extremely displeased, Murong Junsheng glared fiercely at the palace maid, who was frightened and shivered. She quickly let go and knelt down with a thud, saying, "The servant pays respects to the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

Without the support of the palace maidens, Xiao Rufeng naturally collapsed onto the bed.

"Get out!" Murong Junsheng angrily scolded the palace maid. He chuckled as he watched Xiao Rufeng's futile attempt to get up, but was too weak to do so. He quickly approached and helped Xiao Rufeng up, allowing him to sit on the bedside stool.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Rufeng struggled!

"What are you doing?" Murong angrily shouted, successfully stopping Xiao Rufeng's struggles. He stiffened his body, allowing Murong Junsheng's hand to rest on his waist and sit him down on the bed. He no longer struggled as he had just done in front of the palace maids. He dared not and did not have the qualifications to struggle. In front of Murong Junsheng, he would forever be as humble as dust.

For a moment, the great hall fell silent. Murong Junsheng carefully observed the person standing before him, growing thin and haggard. These years had not been kind to him!

"Hmph, it seems that you haven't enjoyed these years as much as I had thought!" Murong Junsheng's tone carried a hint of scorn. Although the disheveled figure before him stirred a bit of pity, the person in front of him had inflicted harm upon the woman he loved, which was a fact that he couldn't forget. He couldn't forget the events of that year, when Feng was almost killed right before his eyes, with the perpetrator being the person standing before him now.

Xiao Rufeng remained silent, facing Murong Junsheng once again. He had no words to say in response. He didn't care about irony or anything else; his only concern now was Yangyang.

"Your Majesty, you promised to let me see Yangyang!" Xiao Rufeng pressed his lips together and finally spoke. He was able to wake up mostly because of this request.

Murong Junsheng furrowed his brows. Xiao Rufeng didn't say a word, and he had indeed forgotten about this matter. However, once the fire in his chest was mentioned, it couldn't help but rage on.

This matter needs to be traced back to that day. Murong Junsheng left after making harsh remarks to Zhang Taiyi. Poor Zhang Taiyi tried his best to save Xiao Rufeng's life, and finally managed to preserve it. However, even though his life was not at risk, Xiao Rufeng just wouldn't wake up. Those few days, Murong Junsheng was particularly irritable, and that fire just flared up instantly!

Poor Doctor Zhang was once again commanded by Murong Junsheng to do whatever it takes to wake him up.

"Your Majesty, this young sir has absolutely no will to live. Even if you were to take the life of your humble servant, there is nothing your humble servant can do! Unless Your Majesty can somehow spark his will to survive!" No matter how much Mu Rong Junsheng threatened or enticed, Physician Zhang could only utter these words.

After this, Murong Junsheng would whisper something in Xiao Rufeng's ear every night, but after several days, it still proved futile! In the end, it was Lu Zixuan's words that woke the dreamer.

Lu Zixuan said that what Xiao Rufeng cared about the most was Yangyang. This sentence once again ignited a flame of jealousy in Murong Junsheng's heart. He refused to admit that the illegitimate child was the person Xiao Rufeng cared about the most, but with no other choice, he reluctantly agreed to give it a try. So, he whispered in Xiao Rufeng's ear, "Your son is fine and doing well. If you wake up, I will let you see him."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Rufeng has actually woken up, and as soon as he woke up, he came to fulfill his promise.

At this moment, Murong Junsheng's face can't be described as anything but unpleasant. He exerted force in his hand and his words were even more unpleasant, "So this is the only thing you care about in your heart! With your body in such a state, you actually managed to have an affair and give birth to this illegitimate child. Truly..."

"Your Majesty, you promised me!" Despite the pain in his waist, he still spoke firmly. Faced with the hurtful words of Murong Junsheng, Xiaoru Feng was not unaffected. He wanted to say that he had not had any relationship with anyone other than the Emperor, and Yangyang was not a illegitimate child! He was my son, and also your son. But he couldn't and dared not say these words, so he buried them deep in his heart. At this moment, seeing Yangyang was the most important thing for him.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely take you to see him tomorrow!" Murong Junsheng responded excitedly, swinging his sleeves as he left, completely forgetting that this was his palace and why he should be leaving!"
