241 Phoenix’s Bloodline (VI)

Upon hearing the news of Li Gui Fei's birth, the first prince came to congratulate the Emperor.

He was already in the palace and just found out the news, so he came to show his courtesy. 

As he walked under the snowy sky along the side road that led to Li Mei Palace, a delicate young lady suddenly walked out from the palace doors.

Her red crimson dress gave it away that she was the Empress from afar, but it was rather surprising to see her already leaving.

...Hm, she was quick.

However, as he watched her take a few steps forward, there was something unusual about the way she walked that made him knit his brows.

...Was he seeing things, but the way she walked felt unstable? It looked as if she was going to fall down any moment.

He didn't know why but he automatically sped up his pace and kept his cool deep eyes on her.

It didn't take long before what he just thought about was actually happening in front of his eyes.
