“Senior Brother, I can testify about what happened tonight. That Maid is innocent!” Luo Qingyun looked up at Jie Yu, a hint of killing intent flickering in his eyes.
Jie Yu's expression changed slightly upon seeing him.
“You can testify? On what grounds?” Tian Feiyao scoffed, his tone laced with subtle mockery.
Luo Qingyun was taken aback. Did Senior Brother really no longer trust him because of Xiao Yun'er?
Thinking of this, his voice dropped. “Tonight, I personally saw San Wangye carry that Maid into the Imperial Garden and then stab himself!”
Ma Lele listened to Luo Qingyun's words, frowning slightly. Did he follow her tonight?
If so, did he discover her identity?
“Is San Wangye out of his mind or what? Why would he stab himself? Luo Qingyun, can you say something believable?” Tian Feiyao's words were filled with sarcasm, leaving those present puzzled.
After all, he and Luo Qingyun usually got along well.
How could everything change so drastically overnight?
Luo Qingyun sensed something was off. Although he felt a bit indignant, he still spoke respectfully. “Actually, I first went to Consort Hong's place tonight! When I arrived there, I noticed something was wrong with Consort Hong! So after I left, I hid near Zhaoyang Palace. Not long after, I saw San Wangye bring that Maid out!”
Seeing Luo Qingyun point the finger at her, Jie Yu was alarmed, panic flashing in her eyes. She looked at Tian Feiyao and said aggrievedly, “I am wronged. Mr. Luo came to see me today; at that time, one of my Maids was unwell. I glanced at her before going out to greet Lord Luo! Where does this notion of something being wrong come from? As for San Wangye, I haven't seen him at all today! And as for her,” Jie Yu pointed at Ma Lele angrily, “I haven't seen her since this afternoon!”
Upon hearing her words, Tian Feiyao fell silent, a glint of sharpness flashing in his deep-set eyes as he pondered something.
Meanwhile, Luo Qingyun sneered repeatedly. “Then can Hong Fei call that sick Maid to confront us?” He had initially not intended to expose her but was taken aback by how she lied without batting an eye!
However, I didn't expect that Senior Brother would be so despicable.
Poor Xiao Yun'er!
"Alright, let her say a few words!" Tian Feiyao finally spoke up, her gaze lightly landing on Ma Lele, who was kneeling on the ground and had not said a word from the beginning.
At this moment, she was dressed lightly, looking frail as she knelt there, her head bowed the entire time. Her long eyelashes fluttered, casting a shadow over her eyelids.
No one could clearly see her expression at this moment.
Feeling countless gazes filled with inquiry, speculation, and even disdain directed at her, Ma Lele finally lifted her head. She looked up at the man high above her, feeling slightly dazed.
I never expected that loving someone would reach this extent one day.
A-Yao, you still look the same!
Handsome and cold, but why has the tenderness in your eyes begun to bloom for someone else?
Thinking of this, Ma Lele's heart ached sharply. Tears had already been welling in her eyes as she took a deep breath. After a long while, she shook her head!
She had nothing to say.
And she couldn't express it.
In this country, she was truly suffering.
If she really had to die, dying at the hands of the man she loved most—wouldn't that also count as a form of love?
"My child, you won't blame your mother, will you?"
"Luo Qingyun, she has nothing to say! What else can you say? Moreover, this matter already involves a Prince, and now you have dragged my Consort into it! Tell me, what are your true intentions?" At this moment, cold words spilled from Tian Feiyao's lips, and his gaze towards Luo Qingyun was tinged with mild disgust.
Luo Qingyun was stunned beyond measure, a flash of hurt crossing her eyes.
This person was sharp-tongued, cruel, and heartless—was he really her Senior Brother?
Hearing this, Ma Lele was also slightly shocked; she didn't expect Tian Feiyao to treat Luo Qingyun in such a manner.
Indeed, he was a heartless man, yet she had fallen for him.
It served her right; she brought this upon herself!
"My intentions? Fine, Hong Fei, let's call San Wangye over now and confront each other. Let's see if your testimonies match! Let everyone see how things truly are!" At this moment, Luo Qingyun was also enraged, her peach blossom eyes gleaming with fury.
Jie Yu was momentarily taken aback; those words had slipped out in a moment of desperation.
What if Tian Fei Nuo mentioned that he had been to Zhaoyang Palace? What would happen then? After thinking it over, she sneered and said, "Mr. Luo is quite amusing. You clearly know that San Wangye is currently injured and unconscious; how could he possibly come to confront you? Mr. Luo, seizing opportunities isn't done this way!" Seeing Tian Feiyao's previous poor attitude towards Luo Qingyun gave her a bit more confidence.
Indeed, upon hearing this, Tian Feiyao didn't utter a word; he merely smiled faintly.
"Then I will go save him and wake him up immediately so we can confront each other!" After saying this, Luo Qingyun strode away. At that moment, an indescribable anger surged within her!
The distrust from her Senior Brother, the despair from Xiao Yun'er, and the sarcasm from Hong Fei—all of it stirred a murderous impulse within her!
Imperial Medical Institute
Tian Fei Nuo looked pale as he gazed at the doctor who was bandaging him, expressing his gratitude, "Fortunately, your medical skills are exceptional; otherwise, I would surely be dead today!"
"San Wangye, you are blessed and fortunate; there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Besides, this is just a minor wound, not serious at all!" Li Taiyi, who was bandaging him, said with a fawning expression.
"No, the wound is deep; I almost died!" Upon hearing this, Tian Fei Nuo immediately changed his expression, narrowing his eyes slightly and emanating a dangerous aura.
Li Taiyi was somewhat taken aback. "This wound is really not deep!"
"I'll say it one last time: the wound is deep!" The last few words were almost spat out through clenched teeth by Tian Fei Nuo. Even someone who was not very perceptive would understand what was going on at this moment!
Li Taiyi hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes! The wound is extremely deep! If you had come any later, Prince would have bled to death!"
Only then did Tian Fei Nuo nod in satisfaction. "Remember to say the same when you see the Emperor later!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Taiyi quickly continued to bandage him, striving to make the wound appear very serious.
At that moment, Luo Qingyun barged in. He looked at the man lying on the chair, narrowed his eyes, raised an eyebrow, walked over, and pulled him up!
Tian Fei Nuo never expected this move from him and angrily shouted, "Luo Qingyun, what are you doing?"
"I originally came to rescue you from your unconscious state; since you're not unconscious, then come with me to Sky Pillar immediately!" Luo Qingyun snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light. At this moment, he truly wanted to slap this man dead!
