"At that time, wherever she was, I was there too. This resulted in us growing up to fall in love with the same man." As she said this, Yun Xin couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
She gazed at the man before her with an almost obsessive look. "Your Majesty, do you know when I started to like you?"
"Back then, I had no idea you were the Emperor. You were with the young lady. In her words, you were in love. I hated myself for coveting the young lady's lover. But I couldn't control my heart that had already begun to beat for you! These past two years, being able to serve you has made me content. But I never expected that I could actually become your woman!"
As she spoke, tears shimmered in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, the young lady and I were like sisters. Now that she is gone, let me take care of you, alright?" At this point, Yun Xin had humbled herself to the utmost.
She used the person she hated most to humbly seek a bit of love from this man.
Tian Feiyao suddenly turned his head, his deep gaze fixed on the woman before him without blinking. After a long moment, a hint of disdain curled at the corners of his lips. "You can never replace her, and you will never be able to compare to her! Yun Xin, I hope you understand. I accept you only because you are carrying my child. Nothing more than that. So just do your part! Isn't it good enough now? Everyone knows you are the most favored consort! Don't be too greedy!"
Tian Feiyao's words were half warning and half mockery; Yun Xin stood frozen in place, unable to utter another word.
Watching the man's indifferent figure walk away, she collapsed onto the ground in despair. Why? Why did she give so much yet still fall short compared to that woman?
She covered her mouth and cried out in pain.
In recent days, Kisaragi had been closely monitoring Fengluan Palace. As a result, she indeed discovered some clues.
The affair between Jing'an Marquis and the Empress Dowager was no longer a secret; most people in the palace understood that Jing'an Marquis was the Empress Dowager's favorite.
However, Kisaragi found their audacity shocking; whether day or night, they were incredibly intimate.
They showed no fear of gossip at all.
Indeed, thirty is like a wolf and forty like a tiger; such women are truly terrifying!
After a few dull days of surveillance, Kisaragi decided it was time to return home. Just then, Ling Wanyue's maid Lucky led a eunuch out stealthily.
Kisaragi raised an eyebrow and quickly followed.
As a result, she discovered that the eunuch was the deposed Chancellor Ling Cheng. Wasn't he demoted to a commoner and forbidden from entering the palace for life?
It seemed that this father and daughter were indeed suspicious.
Kisaragi hurried back to inform Luo Qingyun of what she had learned.
Luo Qingyun's eyes sparkled with excitement. "We can basically confirm that the fire at Huainan Wangfu was caused by Ling Wanyue's people! Next, you need to investigate what shady dealings Ling Cheng and Ling Wanyue are involved in!"
Kisaragi nodded and then strode away.
In Fengluan Palace.
Ling Wanyue lay charmingly in Yun Shuyan's arms. "Although my family has fallen, over the years, my father has trained countless disciples. Most of the ministers in court have dealings with my father. If we really rebel, they will definitely stand by our side. It's just..."
At this point, she hesitated.
"What is it?" Yun Shuyan raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on his lips as he held Ling Wanyue's hand and toyed with it.
"We lack troops!" Ling Wanyue said seriously. "Tian Feiyao has the support of Su Moyuan, and military power is already in hand! If we forcefully confront them, it will definitely not work!"
"Then let's start recruiting soldiers and buying horses from now on! There is still time for everything!" Yun Shuyan gently kissed Ling Wanyue's cheek and said tenderly.
Such a small gesture made the battle-hardened Ling Wanyue blush.
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you! You can contact my father, and the two of you can secretly handle this! If you need anything, just let me know!" She looked at the man before her with affection in her eyes.
Seeing Yun Shuyan made her even more determined to rebel.
Every time she thought of how her man had been humiliated so severely by Tian Feiyao, she vowed to make up for it double in the future.
"Alright, I'm leaving now!" Yun Shuyan stood up, her pupils reflecting the face of the woman across from her.
She nodded, already lost in thought.
Yun Shuyan strode out of Phoenix Palace, the tenderness on her face vanishing in an instant, replaced by a cold expression filled with mockery.
"It's so itchy, stop it!" Still half-asleep, Ma Lele felt something was off, as if a pair of hands were caressing her cheek.
She jumped in surprise and opened her eyes wide.
To her shock, it was just Amin, that little rascal.
"Mother, don't sleep anymore! Dad went to court, and it's no fun playing alone!" Amin pouted, looking quite pitiful as he leaned against the edge of the bed.
Looking at that small face identical to Lijun's, Ma Lele's thoughts raced. She gently stroked Amin's head and said softly, "Okay, let's go play! You can play however you want!"
"Then I want to go play at Aunt Hua's place!" Amin perked up immediately, looking at Ma Lele with excitement.
"Sure, but... who is Aunt Hua? Where does she live?" Ma Lele asked curiously while she rustled around getting dressed.
"My dad never takes me to Aunt Hua's place. You're so nice, Mother. We can just take a carriage there!" Amin said seriously, striking a pose like a little adult.
This made Ma Lele chuckle. "Why doesn't your dad take you to Aunt Hua's place?"
"Because Aunt Hua's place is ****!"
Ma Lele broke into a cold sweat. "Is it that woman from yesterday?"
Amin nodded solemnly.
Oh no, this little rascal actually wants to go play at ****! If his dad finds out, he would definitely be furious!
Ma Lele pondered for a moment and then smiled cheerfully at Amin, "How about we not go there? Let's play somewhere else!"
"Mother, you promised me, a promise is worth a thousand gold!" Amin looked at her with an extremely doubtful expression, which made Ma Lele feel very embarrassed and angry.
"Alright... then let's go... heh..."
The steward of the Prime Minister's Residence had prepared a carriage for them, and the two set off towards their destination.
The streets of Great Wisdom were still bustling with activity, filled with the sounds of vendors calling out and various delightful trinkets on display.
Ma Lele breathed in the unfamiliar yet liberating air, feeling quite content.
"Little one, why do you want to go play at Aunt Hua's?" Ma Lele asked casually while gazing at the sights on the street.
"Because there are many pretty sisters at Aunt Hua's," Amin replied seriously while munching on snacks.
Ma Lele felt a bit exasperated again; this little guy just loved to hang around women. He would definitely be a flirt in the future! But there was nothing to be done about it; his father was wealthy.
Thinking of this, she recalled her own son.
She wondered what Lijun would be like when he grew up.
Just thinking about her son brought a bittersweet smile to her lips, and her hands unconsciously rested on her small belly. Inside, another little life was quietly growing.
