Consort Ju Fen lowered her eyes as she was terrified to hear that. "Did you forget that I am the same Sheng Li whom you wanted to kill so desperately?" He arched his brow up.
"Your son would have been alive if you had not brainwashed him for the throne. Your late husband wanted Princess Bai Yaling to get married. He got sick because all of his consorts never cared for him and made their sons fight amongst each other. At least, don't hurt his soul when he is no more," Sheng Li told her.
"But what about my son's child?" Her eyes filled with tears. "At least I can hold my grandchild and see my late son in him," Ju Fen proclaimed as tears poured down her cheeks.
"Consort Ju Fen, you really don't care about your daughter-in-law," Sheng Li chuckled. "And you don't think of other Princes as your sons. You are still the same. You did not change a bit even after losing your son. Do you have any idea what your son did to Princess Bai? He beat her up. He gave her the mental and physical pain yet you are shedding tears for him," Sheng Li got annoyed at her.
"I am a mother, Your Majesty. For me, there's no fault in my son. A man can treat his woman however he wants to," She confronted him.
"Did your husband ever treat you that way?" Sheng Li questioned her. "You have such a sick mentality, Consort Ju. You are not allowed to step into the Eastern Palace. It is my command. If I find out that you tried to come here, I won't take even a second to throw you into the cold palace. Feel yourself lucky that I have not done this till now because of my late father," Sheng Li threatened her and clenched his fists.
"Now, you may leave," Sheng Li told her.
Consort Ju Fen bowed and left to her chamber. Sheng Li tilted his head and his Royal Bodyguard came forward. "Keep an eye on Consort Ju. Inform me if she makes any move," Sheng Li ordered him. He bowed and went behind Consort Ju Fen.
Sheng Li took the walkway towards the Northern Palace when he encountered Lei Wanxi, who was coming from the front. He was delighted to see him and came towards him.
"Brother Sheng, you here?" He asked him.
"Hmm. Where are you coming from?" Sheng Li asked him. "How is the work at the office?"
"It is fun, Brother Sheng. I was with Brother Nianzu. Can Brother Sheng spare me a few minutes? If he has important work, then I won't stop him," Lei Wanxi stated.
"What happened?" Sheng Li queried him. Lei Wanxi took Sheng Li towards the pavilion. He then started to speak.
"Brother Sheng, Huo Jin has started to write the poems in the memory of Xinyue," Lei Wanxi stated. Sheng Li with a bewildered expression looked at him.
"I saw him coming from the hill behind this Palace. Brother Sheng, don't you think Huo Jin shall move on?" He asked him.
Sheng Li found it strange because earlier Wang Hao and Xiao Zhan were talking about the same. "Did you meet the Generals?" Sheng Li asked him.
"No," Lei Wanxi replied. "Why did Brother Sheng ask?" He asked him confusedly.
"Because the Generals were talking about the same. I thought you talked to them," Sheng Li answered.
"Then, what did they say? Do the Generals also feel the same? Brother Sheng, we shall do something for Huo Jin. Even Brother Nianzu feels the same," Lei Wanxi proclaimed.
"What do you mean? Clarify," stated Sheng Li.
"Huo Jin is a nice man and he shall not waste his precious life thinking over Xinyue. Brother Sheng, shall I find a matchmaker for him?" Lei Wanxi asked him.
"You don't need to do that," Sheng Li affirmed. "Focus on your life instead of looking into others," he told him.
"Why, Brother Sheng? Don't you want Huo Jin to be happy? He did so much for us. We also should do something for him," Lei Wanxi asserted.
Sheng Li knitted his brows and said, "Huo Jin does not want to move on. I will explain to you some other day. Lili is waiting for me. So, I need to leave."
"Yes, Brother Sheng," Lei Wanxi bowed while Sheng Li left for the Northern Palace.

Wang Hao, after dining with his father met Yin Na. He found that she was doing some needlework. "Did I disturb you?" Wang Hao asked her when Yin Na inserted the needle in the piece of cloth.
Wang Hao sat on the cushion in front of her. "Brother Wang hardly comes at this hour," Yin Na said.
"Yes. The other days, I used to be mostly busy with Palace works," Wang Hao replied.
"Brother Wang will soon get married. Then, a lovely sister-in-law will enter this house," Yin Na said with a bright smile on her lips.
"Yes. I will meet Miss Ai Huian tomorrow," Wang Hao informed her.
"That's great," Yin Na replied.
"Yin Na, do you like someone?" Wang Hao asked.
The smile from Yin Na's lips disappeared and she skeptically glanced at him.
"Don't take it the other way. Father earlier was talking about your marriage too. I thought to ask you first. Maybe there is someone whom you like. Father sees his late daughter in you. You know that a Father is more concerned about the marriage of a daughter than a son," Wang Hao stated.
"Brother Wang, there is someone whom I have started to like. But I do not know if it is appropriate for someone like me to even think about him," Yin Na said finally.
Wang Hao was delighted to hear that but the last statement of Yin Na hurt him. "What do you mean by someone like you?" Wang Hao asked her. "I told you numerous times that your past has nothing to do with your present. Also, whoever will marry you will be a lucky man," Wang Hao cheered up her mood.
Yin Na smiled and thanked him for thinking so much about her.
"So, who is the person whom you like?" Wang Hao asked her.
"Brother, it is Huo Jin," Yin Na answered to him.
