If only I could find a quiet place to live my little life peacefully, without any connection to Tian Feiyao.
But now, even though he is so far away, his figure still lingers like a shadow.
What type do I like?
A bit narcissistic, perhaps it's someone like myself!
She chuckled self-deprecatingly; after all, what position could she possibly hold in his heart?
Otherwise, how could he have done such hurtful things...
This emperor only loves himself!
"Forget it, let's see what happens then!" Someone as clever as Hua Nongying would never fail to notice Ma Lele's odd behavior. She always felt that this woman was hiding many things...
But who hasn't concealed their past?
Haven't I buried a part of my own history?
Dayue...
Hua Nongying murmured this name, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.
I wonder how that person from Dayue is doing now...
Dayue, the imperial palace.
Now, every time Luo Qingyun and Kisaragi meet, they choose that basement.
"How's the investigation going?" Luo Qingyun asked while disdainfully looking at the fierce dog glaring at him from the ground.
"I've been following Ling Cheng outside the palace these past few days, and I discovered that he actually bought a large residence in the capital. There's even a sign at the entrance openly recruiting guests! What do you think he's up to?" Kisaragi said, crossing her arms and speaking coolly.
"Hmph... Now he's recruiting guests; next, he might be hiring soldiers! Do you really think anyone would pay attention to him, a disgraced chancellor?" Luo Qingyun scoffed, clearly mocking Ling Cheng, that old man who always stirs up trouble!
"So what should we do now?" Kisaragi's eyes flashed with killing intent at the thought that this might threaten Lord's Dynasty in the future.
"Should I just kill Ling Cheng?" she frowned when Luo Qingyun remained silent.
Luo Qingyun shook her head. "Do you think this is all Ling Cheng's doing? He has no power or money right now; he has nothing. Could it really be him?"
"Ling Wan Yue?" Kisaragi raised an eyebrow, her cold face showing no surprise.
"So, what we need to do now is to remain still and see what they intend to do!" Luo Qingyun snorted coldly, her eyes filled with sarcasm. That scoundrel Ling Wan Yue was truly calculating.
She had made Ling Cheng take the lead; if it all failed later, she could easily shift the blame onto him.
After all, after the last incident, she had declared that she was severing her father-daughter relationship with Ling Cheng.
At that point, it would have nothing to do with her.
Even if she were implicated, she still had a death exemption token to protect herself, and her senior brother would never let her die.
But what about Ling Cheng? What would happen to him?
Luo Qingyun shook her head. They say even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Yet the tiger in the palace specializes in harming its closest kin.
Kisaragi nodded and hesitated for a moment before asking the question that had been lingering in her mind, "Lord... how has he been lately?" She knew that her freedom of movement was due to Luo Qingyun acting behind Lord's back.
Perhaps Lord thinks she's dead by now!
"Ah, that's not good! Kisaragi, I know what you're thinking. But right now, Senior Brother doesn't want to see you!" Luo Qingyun felt a headache coming on as she recalled what Qinglong had told her today. If Senior Brother continued his investigation like this and things got exposed, what would they do?
If I had known, I should have let Senior Brother see the fake Xiao Yun'er being burned to death!
Although it is cruel, it would have made the credibility much higher.
Kisaragi's eyes flashed with pain. "But everything I do is for Lord! Gu Yuniang deceived him; a woman like that cannot be allowed to live!"
Luo Qingyun sighed, another person who strayed for love. His gaze was intense and meaningful as he said, "Even so, Senior Brother would be willing! What will you do then? Love is something that can never be clearly defined! You have truly touched his Achilles' heel this time!"
Kisaragi's eyes widened in terror, filled with tears...
Will Lord never forgive him again?
Qinghe Palace.
This is where Yun Shuyan resides. Tian Feiyao granted him a nominal title and bestowed upon him this palace, allowing him to live cautiously under his watchful eyes.
It is laughable; he knows the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou better than anyone else.
Having grown up here, he has never set foot in Qinghe Palace.
Though it is not as dilapidated as Cold Palace, it is still a side hall.
At that time, as the Crown Prince, how could he possibly come here?
At this moment, Yun Shuyan sat at a table, carefully studying a piece of parchment.
His pale and thin face bore a pair of bright eyes. Next to his right hand lay a brush; he studied while occasionally jotting down notes on another sheet of paper.
He was searching for a hidden army, a tribe saved by the Great Zhou Royal Family a century ago. Their king had once promised that if the Great Zhou ever needed help in the future, the current king could come with a token.
They would surely do their utmost to assist.
The people of this tribe are brave and skilled in battle, tall and strong, each capable of taking on a hundred foes.
Moreover, they have rapidly developed in recent years, with a booming population.
If they could be found and utilized for their own purposes, it would certainly increase the odds of victory.
With this thought in mind, Yun Shuyan paused his writing, his gaze distant.
Initially, he had planned to ally with Gu Changwei, but unexpectedly, he realized he was merely a pawn in their game.
That night, after learning the shocking secret, he could no longer be the same Yun Shuyan as before.
Since Gu Changwei intended to die from the start, he could only send them on their way.
In this way, the secret would remain forever hidden!
Great Wisdom.
Due to the emperor's urgent demands, Wen Shaojun urged them to act more quickly.
In recent days, Ma Lele and Hua Nongying had selected quite a few young women, but she found them all unsatisfactory.
"Too tall!"
"Too fat!"
"Too thin!"
"Too lacking in femininity!"
"Too seductive! It's obvious that Great Wisdom sent them to charm the Monarch. Are we selecting Su Daji? No way, absolutely not! None of them will do!" Ma Lele said irritably, waving her hand to dismiss the dozens of beauties before her.
The group of rejected women left in disappointment, their faces filled with dismay.
Hua Nongying looked at Ma Lele with suspicion. "Is the emperor of Great Yue that picky? You seem to know him well." Several of the candidates had seemed quite good to her—good-looking and talented. Moreover, they were all people she had nurtured herself. They couldn't be that bad.
However, in Ma Lele's words, they were described as seductive, mediocre in talent, and clever in a petty way.
Hearing this, Ma Lele quickly explained, "After all, this is a gift for the Great Yue Emperor. Any slight misstep could make Great Yue think we have ulterior motives. So, I have to be cautious!"
Before she could finish speaking, her heart was already filled with bitterness.
Damn it, why did the thought of the women that Tian Feiyao would enjoy in bed being chosen by her own hands make her feel so miserable?
No, she couldn't let this person affect her any longer.
She needed to forget the past and look forward to the future!
Hua Nongying eyed her skeptically. "Is it really just like that?"
"Yes, yes! You wouldn't want Wen Shaojun to be blamed by the emperor later, would you?" Ma Lele nodded vigorously.
"That's true! But all the girls here are already present. I've carefully selected each one; they are all exceptionally talented. If I can't choose from here, I'm afraid the situation outside will be even worse," Hua Nongying said with a troubled expression, after all, she didn't want Wen Shaojun to be blamed by the emperor either.
