"Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Hua Fei said, feeling speechless and unsure of what to do with him.
"Your Highness, Lord Azure Dragon has brought the Imperial Forest Army to the Listening to Snow Pavilion!" a maid rushed in, speaking in a flustered manner.
Hua Fei frowned. "Go out and take a look!"
Just as she was about to leave, a large hand grabbed her. "Sister, I must save her!"
Hua Fei took a deep breath and remained silent.
Inside the hall, Lord Azure Dragon was growing impatient, preparing to send people to search when Hua Fei arrived gracefully. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders as she lazily stifled a yawn.
"Lord Azure Dragon, what happened to you?" she asked curiously, noticing that Lord Azure Dragon was drenched and his face was bruised.
"We discovered suspicious individuals in the Harem. The Emperor has ordered a search of the six palaces!" Lord Azure Dragon said coldly, looking as if he were on edge, eager to find Gu Yuniang's whereabouts at any moment.
"Then go ahead and search!" Hua Fei was well-liked in the Harem and never caused trouble; her obedient demeanor had earned her the Emperor's favor.
"Search!" Lord Azure Dragon commanded, and the Imperial Forest Army dispersed to begin their search.
"Lord Azure Dragon, would you like some ginger tea?" Hua Fei asked kindly, her gentle tone making it hard to refuse.
"No, thank you!" Lord Azure Dragon waved his hand. By this time, the Imperial Forest Army had gathered in the hall. "Did you find anything?"
"No!"
Lord Azure Dragon cast a deep glance at the Listening to Snow Pavilion before leading everyone away.
Sky Pillar.
Tian Feiyao stood in the grand hall, his fists clenched tightly, causing his joints to turn slightly pale from the pressure. His deep-set eyes were filled with a worry he didn't even realize he had.
What had happened to that woman?
The thought of what she might be facing made his heart tighten suddenly. He knew Gu Yuniang too well; she would never leave the Imperial Palace, not while her family was still in his hands.
It seemed he had indeed been careless.
As he recalled the series of events from today, he still found no clues.
"My Lord, I'm sorry!" Azure Dragon said apologetically, his tall figure slightly bowing.
"Send word to Dark Night Gate to search for her whereabouts with all their might!" Tian Feiyao's eyes narrowed, his pupils turning blood-red with anger. Whoever dared to harm his woman would face a fate worse than death.
Azure Dragon was taken aback; the Lord was actually mobilizing Dark Night Gate to track her down. However, it was indeed the best course of action at this moment. He received the order and quickly left.
Hua Fei cautiously dismissed the others and entered the study alone. She gently turned a barely noticeable button on a bookshelf, and immediately, a wall behind the shelf opened automatically.
She strode inside and immediately declared, "We cannot keep this woman!"
Eunuch Rongsheng frowned upon hearing this. He carefully placed a fresh towel on Gu Yuniang's forehead as she lay on the bed before slowly standing up and asking, "Why?"
"You clearly said she is a maid from Consort Li's palace, yet the Emperor has mobilized the Imperial Forest Army to search for her everywhere today. This woman is not simple; do you know? She is the one who once slapped the Emperor. Keeping her around will only bring us trouble!" Hua Fei truly couldn't understand what had bewitched her brother; this woman was so ugly, with a mouth all bloodied, and after being soaked in water, she looked even more disgusting.
" Sister, I believe you will find a way!" Eunuch Rongsheng gazed at Gu Yuniang on the bed, his eyes filled with tenderness. Although he had only met her today, her every smile and frown had deeply imprinted on his heart.
If he hadn't turned back after leaving today, he wouldn't have discovered Consort Li's plot to poison her.
At this thought, hatred filled his eyes.
"So you are the Emperor's consort!" A soft voice came from beside them. Hua Fei and her brother turned to see that Gu Yuniang had already gotten up from the bed.
Her face was pale to the point of being frightening, yet a glimmer of cunning sparkled in her lively big eyes.
"We siblings can talk without you butting in. You need to get lost right now!" Hua Fei transformed from her usual pure and gentle demeanor into someone fiercely aggressive.
"Oh, fine! I'm leaving!" Gu Yuniang said nonchalantly, then slowly began to get dressed. Eunuch Rongsheng was so anxious he didn't know what to do. As she dressed, she leisurely said, "I need to go ask the Emperor a question later!"
"Still talking nonsense even when death is looming!" Hua Fei glared at her in displeasure.
"I'm just going to ask the Emperor if he has a nickname called Nuo!" Gu Yuniang winked at her, feeling quite pleased with herself. Heaven was truly helping her! She thought she was going to die, but it turned out she wasn't dead after all. She couldn't go back to Consort Li, but the affair she had accidentally discovered opened up another path for her.
Hua Fei was greatly shocked and gritted her teeth as she said, "It was you at the door that day!" It wasn't a question; it was a statement of certainty.
"Yes, who told you to be so bold? You've probably been repressed for too long!" Gu Yuniang wanted to laugh, but her mouth hurt too much to do so.
"Nuo? Who is that?" Eunuch Rongsheng finally realized that his sister had been hiding something from him.
Hua Fei's anger turned into a mocking smile as she looked at Gu Yuniang with burning eyes. "Are you threatening me? Do you believe you won't even make it out of here alive? At that time, your soul will have to go tell the Emperor!" After saying this, she waved her long sleeve, and several silver needles gleamed as they shot straight toward Gu Yuniang.
Gu Yuniang was greatly alarmed and froze in place. Suddenly, Eunuch Rongsheng pushed her aside, and several silver needles pierced straight into his arm.
" Eunuch Rongsheng!"
" Eunuch Gonggong!"
The two women screamed in unison and rushed over.
"Why are you so foolish? Don't you know how to dodge?" Hua Fei quickly pressed on several acupoints on his body while anxiously scolding him.
"He seems to be your brother, right? How could you be so heartless? Honestly, I've never seen such a detestable woman like you—messing around without any compassion!" Gu Yuniang scolded furiously, completely ignoring Hua Fei's increasingly ugly expression.
"Stop talking..." Eunuch Rongsheng's face turned pale as he weakly urged her to silence.
"Alright, I'm scared of you! What do you want me to do?" Hua Fei looked at her brother, finally softening. After all, he was her only family.
"Sister, thank you!" Eunuch Rongsheng said gratefully.
Gu Yuniang watched the two, filled with confusion. The consorts in the harem were skilled in martial arts, and this probably wasn't that simple! Moreover, her brother was still in the palace as a eunuch.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but furrow her brows.
What is going on here?
"You listen to me, woman. I won't kill you, not because of your threats! But for my brother! I can help you get out of the palace!" Heaven knows how much Hua Fei hated this woman, who not only stirred trouble but also took away her beloved brother.
"No... I don't want to leave the Imperial Palace!" Gu Yuniang exclaimed in shock, quickly denying that decision.
Hua Fei looked at her strangely. "Then what do you want?"
"Consort Hua, please take me in! Just let me be a maid in your palace!" When under someone else's roof, one must bow their head!
"Impossible! If Consort Li finds out, she will definitely tear down my Listening to Snow Pavilion!" Hua Fei quickly shook her head, rejecting her request. At this point, she changed her tone, "Besides... you have some unclear matters with the Emperor. I can't dare take you in!"
Gu Yuniang's eyes widened as she immediately put on a pitiful expression. "The Emperor... every time you mention the Emperor, my heart just hurts so much!"
