Imperial Palace
Tian Feiyao listened to the report from the shadow guard, his expression slightly tense. "I didn't expect they would get addicted to it. You should also investigate the whereabouts of Ma Lele. Report back as soon as you find anything!"
The shadow guard nodded and quickly left.
A smile crept onto his lips as he felt curious about what charm Wen Shaojun's fiancée possessed that could draw so many forces into action!
Wasn't this matter a bit too strange?
At that moment, Xu Xun approached to report, "Your Majesty, Consort Hong requests your presence at Zhaoyang Palace!"
Tian Feiyao nodded, his smile growing wider. "Then let's go!"
Inside Zhaoyang Palace, Hong Fei looked at the table full of dishes, a light smile on her face.
Tonight, she wanted to see if her plan could succeed.
When Tian Feiyao arrived, there was no one in Zhaoyang Palace. Jie Yu sat gracefully in a chair, silently smiling at him.
He felt a stir in his heart and walked over to gently embrace her. "Consort, you look truly beautiful tonight!"
Jie Yu shyly replied, "Your Majesty, please take a seat!"
Only then did Tian Feiyao sit down. He glanced around but found no one else present. A hint of disappointment crossed his eyes. "Consort, where is everyone?"
"I was afraid they would disturb us, so I had them all dismissed!"
"Did Third Brother not send a maid here last time? She doesn't speak. Let her serve us! It won't be a disturbance and will save you some trouble, Consort!" Tian Feiyao said with a slight smile, speaking casually.
Jie Yu was momentarily stunned and nodded, "Alright!"
After a moment, when Ma Lele was notified to go to Zhaoyang Palace to serve the Emperor and Hong Fei during dinner, she was taken aback. She initially thought about feigning illness, but in the end, she still went!
In recent days, her pregnancy symptoms had become increasingly apparent.
She often felt nauseous after eating just a little.
Thinking of this made her somewhat fearful; it was a serious crime for the women in the palace to become pregnant without reason!
Tian Fei Nuo clearly knew this but insisted on sending herself into the palace!
For a moment, she was filled with worries!
Upon entering the main hall, Jie Yu was dressed beautifully tonight. Ma Lele looked at the peach blossom on her forehead and was momentarily lost in thought.
Although it was tattooed on, it looked exquisite!
Seeing her dazed, Jie Yu frowned slightly and scolded, "You really don't understand etiquette! Your Majesty, please don't take offense!"
Tian Feiyao smiled faintly, not glancing at Ma Lele even once, and said, "Did Consort understand etiquette when she first entered the palace? Never mind, tonight I am very happy!" After saying that, he looked at Ma Lele with a smile on his lips, "Come over and pour the wine!"
Ma Lele nodded and slowly walked towards the two.
However, her feet felt as heavy as lead; each step was so difficult to take.
Jie Yu looked at this woman with some displeasure. She always felt that Tian Feiyao treated this mute girl a bit differently!
Moreover, she was sent in by Tian Fei Nuo.
As long as she was around, he always felt like there were eyes watching him!
This feeling was truly unpleasant!
"Consort, do you have something to say to me tonight?" Tian Feiyao looked at Jie Yu, who appeared to be deep in thought. He took a sip of wine and asked gently.
Jie Yu bit her lip, and after a long pause, she finally raised her head, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "Your Majesty, Jie Yu... does not like the Imperial Palace!"
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Tian Feiyao's eyes. "I know, there are many rules and restrictions in the palace! It's understandable that you don't like it!" He paused for a moment before continuing, "If you truly find it unbearable, then you can go back to your family for a while! By the way, I have never heard you mention your family. Where is your hometown, Consort?"
Jie Yu was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Tian Feiyao to ask such a question. After hesitating for a while, she replied, "I am from Great Wisdom, Auspicious Person. My family... has long since lost all its members!"
A smile appeared on Tian Feiyao's face. "Then I must have brought up some sad memories for you, Consort!"
"It's alright!" Jie Yu smiled faintly.
"Could you tell me about your life before coming to Dayue? You know that you look exactly like one of my former consorts, so I've always been quite curious about you!" Tian Feiyao said sincerely while serving Jie Yu some food.
However, to Jie Yu's ears, it didn't sound that way.
She felt a twist in her heart; could it be that Tian Feiyao was suspecting her?
Meanwhile, Ma Lele listened quietly to their conversation and noticed that Tian Feiyao was persistently questioning her about something.
She felt slightly relieved.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "My family was poor. At that time, Great Wisdom was selecting beautiful women, and I... went to participate!"
Tian Feiyao raised an eyebrow. "It's a good thing you did; otherwise, we would never have met! You have no idea how surprised I was when I first heard you sing that song!"
Jie Yu's expression slightly changed, "I was just singing casually!"
"Today, can you sing it for me again?" Tian Feiyao looked at her with deep emotion, his eyes filled with love.
Such a gaze made Jie Yu feel a bit dizzy. That song was something she had learned on the spot back then, but by today, she had forgotten the lyrics.
What should she do now?
"Um... wow..." At that moment, Ma Lele, who had been standing behind them, suddenly started to vomit.
The gazes of Tian Feiyao and Jie Yu immediately turned to her. "What's wrong with you?" For some reason, seeing her like this made Tian Feiyao feel a slight pang of heartache. Perhaps it was because her back looked so much like Yun'er's!
Jie Yu let out a long sigh of relief in her heart; she was immensely grateful for the spy that Tian Fei Nuo had sent.
Ma Lele quickly shook her head, trying to indicate that she was fine.
But soon after, her stomach churned violently again.
Tian Feiyao frowned, "Someone, summon the Imperial Physician!"
Ma Lele widened her eyes in terror. Summon the Imperial Physician? No, absolutely not! If it were discovered that she was pregnant, she would be doomed.
She finally understood Tian Fei Nuo's good intentions.
It turned out he wanted Tian Feiyao to personally kill her child.
Thinking of this made Ma Lele panic without knowing what to do.
Seeing that Jie Yu had already gone out to give orders, in a moment of desperation, she quickly found a piece of paper and a pen, wrote down a few words hastily, and handed it to Tian Feiyao.
Tian Feiyao glanced at the note, momentarily stunned. It had a few elegant characters written on it: "I won't let the Imperial Physician see me; I know my own body, and there's nothing wrong."
Jie Yu entered just in time to witness this scene. Curiously, she leaned closer, intending to ask Ma Lele why she wouldn't see the Imperial Physician. However, she noticed the pleading look in Ma Lele's eyes. Jie Yu's heart stirred; this woman was also sent by Tian Fei Nuo. Could it be that she was afraid of being discovered by the Imperial Physician?
With this thought in mind, she said to the Emperor, "Forget it; if she doesn't want to see him, then let it be. It's probably just a case of an upset stomach. She's just a servant; how delicate can she be?"
Tian Feiyao gazed deeply at Ma Lele, his profound eyes filled with an indescribable meaning. After a long pause, he coldly replied, "Very well! I have some matters to attend to today; I'll come back later to keep you company!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Lele finally relaxed her tense heart.
At that moment, she noticed that since Tian Feiyao had left, Jie Yu's face was filled with desolation.
A wave of inexplicable bitterness swept through her heart. It seemed that Jie Yu had truly fallen for Tian Feiyao.
Such a man, handsome as a deity and possessing supreme power, would surely captivate any woman!
"Why were you sent into the palace by that person?"
Just as Ma Lele was about to withdraw, a cool voice rang out.
She looked up to see Jie Yu staring intently at her. Startled, she grabbed some paper and a pen, quickly wrote down her response, and handed it to Jie Yu.
"Your relatives have also been captured? Huh, it seems that man only knows this tactic! But unfortunately, this tactic can grip our Achilles' heel!" Jie Yu read the words on the note and gave a self-deprecating smile, one filled with unspeakable sorrow.
