Hua Nongying was enjoying a snack, inviting Lele to sit down while smiling and saying, "I sent those girls home; the selection is off. Because... this morning, my brother-in-law has already gone to Dayue!"
Ma Lele was taken aback, an ominous feeling rising in her heart. "He took that woman from last night with him?"
Hua Nongying nodded. Seeing Lele's troubled expression, she quickly reassured her, "Lele, don't worry. Although that woman looks exactly like you, I believe my brother-in-law loves you as a person, not just your appearance!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Lele wanted to laugh but couldn't.
It turned out Hua Nongying thought she was jealous. She shook her head and said, "It's not because of that; I just feel... something is very off about this!"
"What’s off about it?" Hua Nongying asked dismissively.
"Think about it; when we were selecting beautiful women to present to the Great Yue Emperor, she appeared..." After experiencing the incident with the Huafei, Ma Lele had become much more cautious. She felt that this woman named Jieyu was not ordinary.
If it were an ordinary woman who saw someone who looked exactly like her, she would be shocked.
But this woman only seemed slightly surprised; her composure was remarkable!
At first, Huafei had also wanted to kill Tian Feiyao, so she sneaked into the palace to become his consort!
Could it be that this Jieyu...
"Lele, you're overthinking it. No matter how extraordinary a woman is, who wouldn't want to fly up and become a phoenix? Do you really think she intentionally wants to sneak into the Dayue palace for some purpose? I talked to her last night. Her only request was to send her alone to Dayue; why do you think that is? Isn't it just because she wants a better chance of being favored? Lele, why do I always feel that whenever the Great Yue Emperor is involved, you become so strange?" Hua Nongying cleverly saw through her thoughts and dismissed that possibility while posing a question that left Ma Lele at a loss for words.
After a long pause, she finally stammered, "Hua Nongying, you're overthinking it. I just... I just..."
Hua Nongying chuckled softly, "I know; you just can't accept seeing someone who looks exactly like you. But there’s also something different—you have one more peach blossom than she does!"
Ma Lele forced a smile, but her mind was racing with thoughts.
She suddenly felt an urge to return to the Dayue palace and see what that woman was really after.
All day long, she pondered this question.
Should I go back or not?
If I go back, what identity will I have? A deceased consort?
That would be utterly ridiculous.
Moreover, I have finally escaped from that place, away from that man. If he finds out that I am not dead, not only will I endanger myself, but I will also implicate Luo Qingyun and Qinglong.
I cannot be so selfish.
Besides, what does that man's life or death have to do with me?
We no longer have any connection. No matter what purpose that person named Jie Yu has, regardless of whether she has a purpose or not, what does it matter to me?
If she is truly only after wealth and glory, then in the end, I would just be the one ridiculed.
To sneak back into the palace just to see how my former husband would treat a woman who looks exactly like me?
Forget it!
That is simply too laughable!
Now that I and the child in my womb are living well, I absolutely cannot ruin this peaceful life.
During the time Wen Shaojun was away, he sent Amin over and entrusted Hua Nongying and Ma Lele to take care of her.
This little one lies on my belly every day, saying she is talking to her little sister.
Ma Lele curiously asked, "How do you know it's a sister and not a brother?"
Amin's chubby little face was filled with confidence as she replied, "Because I like little sisters, and mother likes me too. So to avoid disappointing me, it must be a little sister!"
Ma Lele couldn't help but smile at this child; she really knows how to talk.
“Mother, what is this?” Amin asked curiously as he rummaged through his room at noon. The little guy stumbled around and finally pulled out a green package from the box, opening it as he spoke.
Ma Lele was taken aback and hurried over, “Don’t touch it, whatever you do!”
This was a relic left by Hua Fei. So much had happened recently, and she was afraid of being reminded of painful memories, so she had never opened it to see what was inside.
Amin obediently stopped.
Ma Lele sent Amin out and finally opened the green package for the first time.
Inside the package were a small note, a dagger, a gray bottle, and dozens of human skin masks.
Ma Lele gasped in shock. She steadied her racing heart and opened the note, which clearly detailed the method for using these human skin masks.
This was a technique that came from the Western Regions; unless roasted with fierce fire, the mask would never come off.
“First use Yunnan Gu Worm, insert it through the nasal cavity to guide the medicine, allowing the worm to feed on the facial bones. After carving the bones, cut open the facial skin, assist with a golden anvil, and stitch along the muscle fibers. Then rest for three days, and it will be complete!”
Ma Lele forced her trembling hand to slowly reach for the human skin masks.
If she no longer used Gu Yuniang's face, then even if she returned home, he would no longer recognize who she was, right?
But why was she still so foolishly wanting to wade into this murky water?
She closed her eyes as tears slowly streamed down her cheeks.
Dayue, Imperial Palace.
Inside Sky Pillar, an official reported, “Great Wisdom has sent Chancellor Wen Shaojun to visit and is prepared to present rare treasures to His Majesty!”
Tian Feiyao raised her gaze slightly. “We have always kept our distance from Great Wisdom and never interacted with them. What exactly are they up to this time?”
“It seems they fear our imperial might and want to show goodwill!” San Wangye Tian Fei Nuo suddenly laughed. His words garnered agreement from most people. Indeed, after Dayue swallowed Da Zhou, Great Wisdom must have been anxious about their own safety and sought this method for self-preservation.
Tian Feiyao nodded, his cold cheeks showing no expression. "Since that's the case, when Wen Shaojun arrives, we shall still treat him with courtesy! If there's nothing else, you may leave the court!"
After leaving the court, he had just returned to the Imperial Prosperity Hall when he saw Yunxin already inside.
"What are you doing here?" he asked coldly.
"Your Majesty has been troubled by state affairs lately, so I brought some nourishing soup for you!" Yunxin's face was filled with anticipation, and when she met Tian Feiyao's gaze, her pretty face flushed slightly.
"Yunxin, have I ever told you that I never believe you?" Tian Feiyao glanced at the tray she was holding, snorted coldly, and said ruthlessly.
Upon hearing this, Yunxin felt as if she had been struck hard in the chest; her face instantly turned pale. She struggled to suppress her trembling body and forced a difficult smile. "I understand now; I will make sure to do my duty in the future!"
"That's good. You may go now!" Tian Feiyao did not look at her again and strode into the inner chamber.
Seeing Yunxin's face turn extremely pale, with tears welling up in her eyes, Xu Xun felt a surge of pity. He stepped forward to comfort her gently. "Your Highness, please don't be upset. The Emperor has been in a bad mood lately, which is why he acted this way!"
Yunxin took a deep breath and looked at Xu Xun, her face filled with painful despair. "Xu Xun, may I ask you a question?"
"Of course!"
"If you love someone, but they never glance at you even once, what should you do?" Yunxin was utterly confused at that moment. Why was it that no matter how much she did, the Emperor always regarded her with such disdain?
