For some reason, when faced with the gaze of that woman, Yun Shuyan felt a twist in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.
A chill immediately surged within Ma Lele, who tightly gripped the totem, her veins bulging, yet her face still wore a gentle smile. If she remembered correctly, this jade pendant was something Gu Yuniang's father, Gu Changwei, always carried with him.
The great fire had turned Huai Wang Mansion into a pile of ashes.
So why was this jade pendant in Yun Shuyan's hands?
What exactly was going on here?
At that moment, Black Fang suddenly spoke, addressing Yun Shuyan, "The letter states that it would be the daughter of the Prince of Huainan, Jinghong Princess Gu Yuniang, who would meet with me. Why are you the one here?"
Upon hearing that name, Ma Lele felt invigorated as if she had been injected with adrenaline.
Like Black Fang, she stared intently at Yun Shuyan.
"Jinghong Princess is my wife! To be honest, I am actually the Crown Prince of Da Zhou! But my country has been occupied by Dayue. For these past days, I have been recruiting troops and seeking to reclaim my homeland!"
Yun Shuyan's expression carried a hint of sorrow as he spoke flawlessly.
This was indeed true.
But wife? That might be a stretch.
At this moment, Ma Lele truly wanted to laugh; everything suddenly made sense. No wonder the first person to seek her out on the day Huainan Wangfu caught fire was Yun Shuyan, and he had acted so strangely at that time.
It turned out he simply felt guilty towards her!
Shameless!
How could Ma Jinlian say that? After all, he is his grandmother, yet he could act so ruthlessly. Not to mention, Yi Er was also harmed by him!
Ma Lele didn't know how she managed to hold on. Throughout the conversation, she forced a smile, but her heart had never felt so cold. This wasn't the first time she had been betrayed by someone she trusted the most!
Seeing that Black Fang still had doubts about borrowing troops, Ma Lele quickly suggested, "My lord, since they have helped us before, we should repay their kindness! Besides, I have never been to the Central Plains, take me along to see it!"
Yun Shuyan was slightly surprised; he didn't expect this woman to be willing to speak up for him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a grateful smile to Ma Lele.
A hint of mockery flashed in Ma Lele's eyes as she subtly avoided his gaze and continued to act coyly towards the troubled Black Fang. It was not easy for his tribe to have a comfortable life; fighting was indeed not a good thing.
However, the Ancestral Instructions must not be ignored...
After thinking for a long time, Black Fang finally nodded.
Both Ma Lele and Yun Shuyan let out a sigh of relief at the same time—one was happy about borrowing troops while the other was glad to leave this place.
Once they reached Dayue, she would definitely find a way to escape!
She glanced at the excited Yun Shuyan, her eyes revealing deep disappointment.
Ten days later, thirty thousand valiant soldiers from Black Fang arrived at the border of Dayue.
Black Fang ordered them to set up camp here.
Yun Shuyan was the first to enter the city, while Ma Lele began to observe the surrounding terrain.
All the way, she racked her brain trying to figure out how to escape.
Tonight, with Yun Shuyan gone, this might be her best opportunity.
With this thought in mind, Ma Lele looked at the maid who was tidying her up in the tent and came up with an idea.
Five minutes later, a Maid rushed out of the tent, shouting, "The Princess is missing! The Princess is missing!"
The Guard's commander heard the news and immediately rushed over, only to find a maid crouching on the ground, crying uncontrollably.
The disappearance of the Princess was no small matter. Just then, Black Fang also arrived.
Seeing the empty tent, he roared, "What happened?"
"The Princess... the Princess is missing! After dinner, she said she wanted to be alone, and when I went in just now, she was gone!" The maid trembled all over, crouching there shivering in fear.
"After dinner?" Black Fang's eyes narrowed immediately.
Yun Shuyan had left right after dinner. Since the first time the Princess and Yun Shuyan met, they had been exchanging glances. Could it be?
With this thought, Black Fang became furious. "Someone, go chase after her!"
"Chase whom?"
The Soldiers exchanged glances with one another.
“Yun Shuyan!” Black Fang growled through gritted teeth.
Soon, everyone began to search for people; one group went after Yun Shuyan while the others scattered in different directions.
The maid who had been crouching on the ground finally lifted her head. Her dark face was illuminated by a pair of sparkling eyes. She hadn’t expected it to be this easy; was that all it took?
Thinking about Black Fang's expression earlier, she guessed that Black Fang must have thought she had eloped with Yun Shuyan.
It would be best if Black Fang didn’t lend him any troops, and then dealt with him severely.
At this thought, a sense of revenge surged within her.
Seeing that no one was around, she quickly slipped away.
Dayue
After traveling for a day and a night, plus taking a boat and a carriage, Ma Lele finally arrived at Dayue Capital.
Since it wasn’t her first time crossing over, she was well-prepared. She had plenty of jewelry on her and had brought everything from the modern world with her. Upon entering the capital, her first task was to find an inn to rest.
After enjoying a comfortable bath, she fell asleep.
She slept soundly until the next afternoon, and when she woke up, she felt refreshed.
After having something to eat downstairs, she headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
Based on her deductions, that masked person must have hidden herself in Dayue, and in Dayue, the only people she could seek help from were Tian Feiyao or Luo Qingyun.
She first took a stroll around the mansion where Wen Shaojun used to live. After slipping some money to the Guard, she learned that no one had lived there for a long time.
Thinking of this, she lifted her foot and trudged toward the Imperial Palace.
There was no way; if she relied solely on her own strength, she would never find the child.
So, she could only seek out Luo Qingyun. As for Tian Feiyao, she felt too ashamed to face him. Back then, without any consideration, she had stabbed him so many times; there was too much resentment between them.
She really... felt embarrassed to see him again!
Once again standing at the Palace Gate, recalling her past experiences, she squatted down to wait.
Wait for whom? Of course, to wait for Luo Qingyun.
As night gradually fell, Ma Lele still did not see the figure she had been hoping for. Disappointed, she stood up, and a gentle breeze passed by, making her thin figure appear so lonely in the night.
She shook her head and was about to head toward the Inn.
At that moment, a figure rushed past her side in a hurry. The person seemed very flustered and collided with Ma Lele, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Ouch..." She slowly got up in pain but saw that the person had already run away as fast as a rabbit.
Ma Lele turned back in confusion and saw several Brutes standing behind her. She was startled; it seemed they were chasing after the person who had just passed by. These kinds of people looked fierce at first glance; it was better to avoid provoking them.
