“Consort Li, why get angry? After all, what they said is the truth!” Yunxin spoke slowly amidst everyone's anticipation. She had never liked how Consort Li always bullied the other Consorts.
Now, it was time to diminish her arrogance!
“You…” Consort Li was momentarily speechless but then smiled, “Yes, this palace does not have your abilities, Yunxin! I heard that when you received the Emperor's favor, you were still Consort Yun's maid! Indeed, a lowly chicken always dreams of becoming a phoenix! You really are something for undermining your own master!” Her words were laced with sarcasm and were extremely unpleasant.
Yunxin listened without getting angry, merely smiling lightly. “What can I do? My belly is just too promising!” With that, she stood up and said to the other Consorts, “I’m tired and will go rest now! The Emperor is worried about me getting upset, so sisters, let’s gather again tomorrow!”
After saying this, she left with her Palace Maid amidst the envious gazes of others.
Consort Li was hit where it hurt and glared at Yunxin's departing figure, her fingers cracking from being clenched tightly!
“Vile woman, truly a vile woman!”
Consort Li spat angrily at her back before storming off.
Upon returning to Wisdom Heart Palace, Yunxin encountered an unexpected guest.
She frowned in displeasure, dismissed her attendants, and asked in a low voice, “What are you doing here?”
Mo Ting looked delighted upon seeing her, like a child. However, upon noticing her displeased expression, he cautiously handed something to Yunxin.
Yunxin took it and said calmly, “Alright, I accept it. You should leave now! Don’t come here again; if someone with ill intentions sees you, they will surely gossip! If the Emperor misunderstands, that would be bad!”
A hint of pain crossed Mo Ting's eyes. “I understand!” That charm was something he had spent all night obtaining, yet she seemed completely indifferent.
Yunxin watched Mo Ting's retreating figure and snorted coldly. Glancing at the charm in her hand, she threw it harshly to the ground.
What a piece of junk! She didn't care at all.
However, Mo Ting knew quite a few of her secrets!
If the Emperor found out later, it would be over for her!
Thinking of this, her brows gradually furrowed. After a long and tiring journey, Gu Yuniang finally arrived at the legendary Great Wisdom.
Standing on this land, she felt an immense sense of relief.
Finally, she wouldn't have to take a boat anymore; these past few days had nearly made her sick!
After disembarking, she was just about to leave when a burly man grabbed her.
"Where do you think you're going?" the man shouted fiercely.
Gu Yuniang found it amusing. "What business is it of yours where I go?"
"The girls on the ship are all under our control. Once you're on board, you no longer have a say!" The man roughly pulled her over.
It's over; I've boarded a pirate ship!
Before losing consciousness, that was the only thought that kept flashing in her mind.
When Gu Yuniang groggily woke up, she finally understood what was happening. It turned out that the girls on this ship were not here to serve wealthy families in Great Wisdom but had been tricked into being sold into slavery.
Thinking of this made her want to cry without tears.
She had been inexplicably sold into slavery twice.
At this moment, she was locked in a dark room with a group of girls, the stale air making her stomach uneasy again.
Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside.
A stunningly beautiful woman walked in, followed by the same burly men from before.
Gu Yuniang thought to herself, this must be the one! But why is she so young?
The woman approached each girl, scrutinizing them carefully, and those chosen were taken away.
Gu Yuniang's heart raced; please don't let it be me! She had never wished to be as ugly as she did at that moment.
The woman stopped in front of Gu Yuniang, looked at her veil, frowned, and yanked it off.
In an instant, everyone present was stunned.
It turned out there existed such a breathtakingly beautiful woman in the world.
What appeared before them was like a crescent moon's glow, like flowers piled with snow; her face was exquisitely beautiful. However, she was too pale, lacking any color, likely due to having her face covered for so long. Her thin lips were also very pale.
But the natural peach blossom mark on her forehead added a touch of charm to her.
Truly, she was more delicate than flowers!
The woman kept staring at her intently, making Gu Yuniang feel particularly uncomfortable.
"Miss, what is your name?" the woman suddenly asked.
Gu Yuniang was somewhat puzzled; why hadn't the other girls been asked? After thinking for a moment, she replied, "My name is Ma Lele. But I beg you, I really can't become...! If you want money, I can give it to you. I was tricked into coming here!"
She had no other choice now, only hoping that this person would let her go.
The person scrutinized her for a few seconds. "Miss, if you are unwilling, I will never force you! But can you come with me to a place?" There was no hint of insincerity in her smile; it was filled with genuine warmth.
Gu Yuniang thought she probably wouldn't deceive her, so she nodded. "Alright, I'll go with you!"
In any case, she found this person quite strange.
In a basement.
Kisaragi had been locked up here for a full seven days without a drop of water.
This was the punishment she had received, yet she still did not regret the decision she had made back then.
After all, that woman was still dead. Wasn't she?
The only companion she had was her Big Yellow.
She smiled faintly. "Big Yellow, in this world, you are the only one who will never leave me, right?"
Big Yellow seemed to understand her feelings and nodded vigorously.
Kisaragi closed her eyes contentedly, and just then, hurried footsteps approached. She looked up and said, "Azure Sky, what brings you here?"
"Your punishment is over; come with me!" Luo Qingyun looked at her, a mischievous glint flashing in his charming eyes.
Kisaragi nodded and quickly regained her spirits.
Leaving the basement, she finally saw the long-awaited sunlight.
"Kisaragi, you're lucky this time that Senior Brother didn't kill you!" Along the way, Luo Qingyun couldn't help but tease her. In fact, he understood Kisaragi's thoughts; it was all trouble caused by love!
"I know!" Kisaragi replied calmly. "Is there a new mission now?"
"It's not Senior Brother's; I want you to help me investigate something!" Luo Qingyun stopped in his tracks and looked at her intently.
"What is it?" Kisaragi asked, puzzled.
"You know about the fire at Huainan Wangfu, right? Later, when I went to check the remains, I found two female bodies. One was older and clearly the former Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou. But do you know who the younger one was?" Luo Qingyun smiled mysteriously, his expression inscrutable.
"Who?"
"Xiao Yun'er’s former maid, Yi Er!" Luo Qingyun continued, "I discovered that this girl had disappeared overnight by chance, which made me suspicious. And do you know what else I found out?"
"What did you find?" Kisaragi became even more curious upon hearing this. Although Gu Yunniang was already dead and her father's matters had nothing to do with her, she couldn't ignore the danger posed by such individuals in the palace regarding Lord's safety.
"I also found Ling Wan Yue's token! I wonder if it was left behind by the murderer in a hurry! But I think this matter is definitely related to the Empress Dowager!" Luo Qingyun frowned. "However, I'm a bit confused about what role Yi Er played in all of this. Huainan Wangfu has strict security; how did she manage to sneak in? I have some impression of this girl; she seems to be a simple person!"
"The more innocent a person is, the more terrifying they can be. Perhaps she is connected to the Empress Dowager! There were two who went that day; one ended up dead while the other escaped!" Kisaragi raised an eyebrow and let her imagination run wild.
"That's possible. I want you to help me see who around Ling Wan Yue holds her token!"
