As soon as Lucky thought of this, her curiosity deepened.
"That's because he isn't even in the palace!" Ling Wan Yue said with certainty. Based on her understanding of Tian Feiyao, there was probably only one person in this world who could make him act this way.
Could it be that person is still alive?
At the thought of this possibility, Ling Wan Yue couldn't help but laugh. She shook her head, running her fingers through her long hair.
"What are you laughing about, Your Highness?"
"Nothing, I'm just laughing at a chicken that thinks it looks like a phoenix and believes it can fly up to the branches and become one!" The smile on Ling Wan Yue's face deepened.
Upon hearing this, Lucky immediately understood and joined in the laughter.
Ling Wan Yue was probably the person who understood Tian Feiyao the best in this harem. She had once witnessed how much he favored Consort Hong. At that time, she thought he was simply missing Gu Yunxiang too much.
But today, she had to doubt that.
This emperor was doing it on purpose. Indulging in debauchery and elevating the Third Prince. All of this was to make his opponents think the time was right.
But what was the outcome?
With Tian Feiyao's meticulous thoughts, she was even more certain that Gu Yunxiang was not dead at all.
And in this world, the only woman who could make Tian Feiyao sneak out of the palace time and again was Gu Yunxiang.
Love truly can be deadly.
"Where is the Jing'an Marquis?" Ling Wan Yue's expression suddenly dimmed as she anxiously looked at Lucky.
Lucky pressed her lips together and shook her head. "I haven't seen the Jing'an Marquis for several days!"
Ling Wan Yue felt lost. Could it be that he was angry with her?
Thinking of this, she decided to visit the Jing'an Marquis Manor tomorrow!
In the northwest direction, there was a mountain called Tianshan.
On this mountain lived a reclusive master known as the Divine Mechanic Elder.
After a day of trekking, Luo Qingyun walked along the path on Tianshan, and his previously relaxed mood instantly tensed up.
Why was he here?
With a belly full of doubts, he strode towards the mountain's peak.
Luo Qingyun arrived in front of a small wooden cabin filled with questions. Several men dressed in black stood at the entrance. They were members of the Nightshade.
Logically, his senior brother should be in the palace at this time; how could he be here?
He stepped through the door and immediately caught sight of a familiar face.
Luo Qingyun widened his eyes in shock, staring incredulously at Tian Feiyao.
This person looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes and a rugged chin covered in stubble, appearing as if he hadn't rested for several days and nights.
What is going on here?
Luo Qingyun stood there in a daze, feeling as if his heart was a jar of mixed emotions, experiencing every flavor.
Noticing the commotion, Tian Feiyao, who had been lost in thought while sitting in a chair, immediately looked up. Upon seeing him, he simply nodded lightly and said, "Azure Sky, you’re here!"
In his grayish eyes, there was not a hint of color, and his face was subtly marked by despair.
It seemed as if he had lost all interest in everything in the world.
Luo Qingyun had never seen his Senior Brother like this. He felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly ran forward, anxiously asking, "Senior Brother, what happened? Why are you here?"
He fired off a series of questions quickly and urgently. Tian Feiyao glanced at him with indifference, preparing to speak.
"Wow... wow..."
At that moment, the clear cry of a child echoed through the air.
Tian Feiyao, who had just moments ago seemed listless, immediately stood up and rushed into the room. Luo Qingyun quickly followed him inside, but once he entered, his eyes nearly popped out in shock.
Senior Brother was actually holding a delicate baby, gently soothing it.
The sight was incredibly tender.
His usually stern features softened considerably at that moment, and his eyes sparkled with affection. He held the child gently and hummed an incomprehensible tune.
All of this only deepened Luo Qingyun's confusion.
He stared intently at the Baby in Senior Brother's arms, and those eyes were strikingly similar to someone else's.
A bold guess immediately surged into his mind, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "Is this... Xiao Yun'er’s child?"
Hearing this, Tian Feiyao froze for a moment, and after a long while, he nodded with a strange expression.
"Senior Brother, so it was you who took Xiao Yun'er away? The medicine was also taken away by your orders, right?" Everything seemed to fall into place.
Tian Feiyao remained silent, only nodding.
Luo Qingyun was still immersed in joy. "Senior Brother, where is Xiao Yun'er? Let me see her!" Seeing Senior Brother with Xiao Yun'er, he naturally assumed they had reconciled.
Looking back now, he truly felt happy for Senior Brother.
When Tian Feiyao heard Luo Qingyun say he wanted to see Xiao Yun'er, he suddenly looked up. After a moment, he revealed a childlike smile and nodded repeatedly. "Alright, Azure Sky. I’ll take you to see her, but she isn’t well and is resting. We can just take a look from outside!"
Luo Qingyun smiled and nodded.
At that moment, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart; it turned out that the Senior Brother he respected the most had never changed. It was he who had been mistaken.
It was indeed his lack of trust in him.
Thinking of this, Luo Qingyun looked at the slightly lonely figure of Senior Brother leading the way ahead, and his eyes became slightly moist. It hadn’t been long since they last met; why did Senior Brother look so haggard?
The two arrived at the innermost room. Tian Feiyao opened the window and pointed at a white figure on the bed, his eyes filled with affection. "Look, she’s sleeping!"
Luo Qingyun followed the sound and saw that the person on the bed was very quiet, seemingly sleeping soundly.
A heavy stone in his heart immediately fell when he checked on Xiao Yun'er earlier; she was very likely to have complications during childbirth. Seeing that she was now fine, he felt much more at ease.
The two returned to the outer room, and as they were leaving, Tian Feiyao kept gazing at the person inside, his eyes filled with infatuation.
"Let's go! Let Xiao Yun'er rest well!" Luo Qingyun urged. Now that he had calmed down, he couldn't help but feel that Senior Brother seemed a bit strange.
However, seeing the person in front of him holding the child with a kind expression, he smiled and shook his head.
He was really overthinking things.
Back in the outer room, he unexpectedly saw someone. "Kisaragi, what are you doing here?" He had always thought that Senior Brother didn't want to see her.
He didn't expect that Senior Brother had kept so much from him.
Although he felt a bit disappointed, thinking back to how he had also deceived him before, he felt it was no big deal. After all, he was still his most respected Senior Brother, and that was enough.
Kisaragi nodded at him and then turned to Tian Feiyao, saying, "Lord, everything is proceeding as you wished. San Wangye has already been captured, and this is largely thanks to Azure Sky's assistance!"
Luo Qingyun couldn't help but chuckle; by accident, he had indeed helped Senior Brother a great deal.
Tian Feiyao nodded. After coaxing for a long time, the child in his arms had fallen asleep. He got up and placed the child on the bed before turning to Kisaragi and saying, "You continue back to the palace and observe everyone's actions!"
