For a good while, Feng Bailing finally snapped out of her stupor.
"You mean to say, it's the Emperor who made Noble Consort Guo barren?"
Dugu Wu was somewhat surprised as well; he hadn't expected Feng Bailing to catch on so quickly.
No wonder the dean always praised Feng Bailing in front of Dugu Wu.
In other people's eyes, Emperor Yongye was an exalted ruler, a wise monarch who combined grace with majesty, but Feng Bailing, having lived through that life, had a very thorough understanding of Emperor Yongye.
Especially after experiencing the time with the Empress, Feng Bailing could be even more certain that Emperor Yongye was a ruthless character, one who, for the sake of the throne, would disregard any and all emotions and familial bonds.
The Empress had initially been without progeny too and later adopted Dongfang Cheng; could it be that Noble Consort Guo would become the next Empress?
A chill surged from the depths of Feng Bailing's heart.
