At this moment, Gu Yuniang was bewildered. She looked at Tian Feiyao in panic, "What should we do? What now?" She was currently under Consort Li's authority, and if Consort Li found out about what she and Tian Feiyao had done, it would be surprising if she didn't skin her alive.
Tian Feiyao remained calm and composed. Suddenly, he said loudly, "Let them in!"
Gu Yuniang felt like crying but had no tears. This man was doing it on purpose. She quickly grabbed the clothes on the floor that she hadn't finished putting on and rushed into the inner room, hiding behind the curtain.
Tian Feiyao looked at the woman who moved like a nimble deer, a wicked smile curling on his lips.
Gu Yuniang tightly hugged her clothes, not daring to make a sound. Listening to her heart pounding "thump thump thump," she felt both sad and ridiculous. Why did she feel like a mistress? Hiding from the legitimate wife?
She was just like the pitiful Consort Mei, while the group of women outside were like Yang Yuhuan. No, at least Consort Mei was openly recognized by Li Longji, but she was nothing.
The Queen and others received their orders and immediately strode in.
"Your servant pays respects to Your Majesty!" Several beauties bowed in greeting.
"Get up! What brings you here?" Tian Feiyao slowly stood up, his clothes slightly open, a hint of fatigue on his face that sparked imagination.
"Is His Majesty alone in the room?" Queen Ling Yaoyue asked suspiciously, her gaze subtly scanning the room.
"It is not for you to decide whether I am alone!" Tian Feiyao's anger was already brewing; everyone in the palace knew that he did not treat the Queen well.
Hearing this, Ling Yaoyue felt both embarrassed and angry, momentarily frozen in place not knowing what to say.
"Your Majesty, please do not be angry. The Queen instructed the imperial kitchen to prepare snow pear soup with white fungus for you, showing concern for your recent hard work. I was just idling with Sister Consort Li and came along to join the fun!" Hua Fei said sweetly, trying to smooth things over for the Queen.
"Just put it here and go out!" Tian Feiyao's expression softened slightly as she coldly said.
"Hey, how did an earring end up on the floor?" Consort Li, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. She slowly crouched down and picked up the earring.
Gu Yuniang, hidden behind the curtain, was startled and quickly touched her right earlobe, only to find it missing. At that moment, she accidentally loosened her grip, and her clothes slipped to the ground!
It's over!
"How dare you! Which little brat is hiding in the Emperor's chamber!" The Queen noticed the commotion and shouted angrily as she strode toward the inner chamber. She had long suspected that the Emperor was hiding here to indulge in illicit pleasures. However, lacking evidence, she was determined to find out which wretched woman it was, even if it meant confronting the Emperor's authority.
Hearing the footsteps drawing closer, Gu Yuniang resigned herself and closed her eyes. She could already imagine how she would be tormented to death by this pack of wolves in women's clothing.
If she were a mistress, then she would be the most unfortunate mistress in the world.
Tian Feiyao, you are ruthless!
Consort Li watched with a hint of amusement; the Queen was jealous and had never won the Emperor's favor. She hoped that the Queen would anger him and be deposed.
Wouldn't that position of Queen fall into her hands?
Thinking this way, she became more resolute in her decision. Her gaze fell on the earring in her hand, and a cold smile gradually appeared on her face. It seemed that some people truly had made a mistake…
At that moment, the door was pushed open with a loud bang from outside, and Yunxin rushed in. Upon seeing everyone in the room, she froze for a moment before hurriedly bowing. "Your Majesty, esteemed ladies, forgive me! I only came rushing in because while cleaning the room early, I found a lost earring and thought His Majesty wasn't here at this time."
The Queen halted her steps; Yunxin's explanation completely thwarted her intentions. Yunxin was favored before the Emperor, so she had no choice but to relent.
"Be more careful in your work from now on!" Tian Feiyao looked at Yunxin with displeasure, suspicion evident in her cold gaze.
"Servant understands!" Yunxin said softly, lowering her head.
"Your Majesty, I truly have no other intentions; I am just worried about your safety!" Ling Yaoyue said fearfully, noticing that Tian Feiyao's expression was not good.
"It's nothing! You all may leave! I want to be alone for a while!" Tian Feiyao stood up and, with his back to them, said coldly.
"Yes, I take my leave!" The others knelt in unison. Consort Li cast a resentful glance at the composed Yunxin before leaving in anger.
Gu Yuniang let out a long sigh behind the curtain.
Thanks to Aqiao!
She hurriedly finished dressing and strode out. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Yunxin staring at her in shock. A chill ran through her; how could she forget that Yunxin liked Tian Feiyao?
She regretted it and wanted to explain, "Yunxin, I..."
"You don't need to say anything. What I did just now was what I should have done! Regardless of who that person is, I would have done the same!" A faint smile appeared on her face, but inside, her heart felt like it was bleeding.
Tian Feiyao looked at the two without showing any emotion. "Yunxin, you may go down first!"
"Yes!" Yunxin obediently withdrew.
"Tian Feiyao, you did that on purpose, didn't you? If it weren't for Yunxin, I would have been dead today! If you want me dead, just give me a quick end; don't be so indecisive and use someone else’s hand!" Gu Yuniang said through gritted teeth, her almond-shaped eyes wide open.
"Haven't you learned your lesson after all this time? In front of me, what right do you have to shout? Do you still want to see your husband?" In truth, he never intended for the Queen to find out about her; even if Yunxin hadn't intervened, he would have stopped her. He just wanted to torment her a little longer...
Hearing her accusations only fueled his anger further!
As soon as the topic of Yun Shuyan came up, Gu Yuniang felt a surge of anger but dared not express it, choosing instead to remain silent. She vowed that one day, she would make this man suffer greatly, letting him experience what it truly feels like!
After stepping out of the grand hall, Yunxin revealed a faint smile on her calm face. Perhaps he would gradually realize his feelings. Her actions were merely an attempt to prevent the Emperor and the Ling Clan from becoming too estranged.
In truth, she wished that the woman hiding behind the curtain was herself.
However, moments later, her smile slowly froze on her face; it seemed that the resentment between the Emperor and the young lady had deepened even further…
Inside Li Ying Palace, Consort Li stood in Gu Yuniang's empty room, a cold smile gradually appearing on her face.
Behind her knelt a terrified Hong'er. That damned Gu Yuniang hadn’t even noticed she was missing!
Seeing her master suppressing her anger only made Hong'er more afraid…
Gu Yuniang was unaware that there was such a hidden place within the Imperial Palace of Da Zhou. Following Tian Feiyao, she wandered around until they finally arrived at an abandoned courtyard far away from the bustling Harem. She passed through a large gate and crossed a small bridge before discovering this hidden paradise.
"It's beautiful..." Everywhere she looked, there were bright red flowers blooming, creating what seemed like a sea of blossoms. However, these flowers were so strikingly beautiful that they felt somewhat eerie.
After all, it was quite strange for such flowers to bloom in the middle of winter.
She reached out her hand to touch them but was startled when a loud shout came from ahead. "Don't move!" She quickly retracted her hand. Seeing Tian Feiyao's furious expression, she scoffed, "What's the big deal? If I don't touch them, I won't touch them!"
