After sending someone to investigate her identity, he told the Empress Mother that he wished to marry the daughter of the Minister of War Deputy, Yun Kezhai.
Considering her young age, he only discussed this matter with her parents, intending to wait until she reached maturity before discussing their union.
Feng Xuan specifically gave his most treasured Jade Eighteen Beads to Lady Yun, asking her to deliver them to Mu Yun as a token.
However, their family faced a sudden disaster after he ascended the throne, and she went missing, with no news ever since.
Six years later, during an inspection in the southern border, he unexpectedly saw her transformed into a graceful and beautiful woman. The surprise in his heart was beyond words, and his eyes sparkled with joy.
"Yun'er, this past year... I really missed you, so much," Feng Yuan's gaze was no longer reserved; it was gentle and soft like spring water.
He buried his face in Yun Kezhai's hair, inhaling her sweet fragrance, kissing her cheeks with infinite affection. Even his warm breath carried a lingering tenderness and reluctance, his movements gentle. Such deep feelings had never been present when they were in the southern border before.
She caressed his firm back, trying to curl herself closer into his embrace, feeling the warmth radiating from him as she gently closed her eyes.
Suddenly, she thought: If she were to die at this moment, it would be a happy ending, right? But she couldn't; he wouldn't allow it. She sighed softly.
From her close-fitting clothing, she pulled out an envelope and handed it to him with a mysterious smile on her face, her eyes glinting with a hint of mischief.
Feng Yuan was somewhat puzzled as he took it, opened it, and found a strange blueprint inside without a single word.
He glanced at it again and again before closing his eyes slightly to suppress his racing heartbeat. Only then did he turn to look at her in disbelief.
It was a military defense layout map, depicting the terrain of the various palaces within the imperial city. His brow furrowed slightly as he examined it. The map also indicated the approximate number of guards stationed at each location.
The palace defenses had always been a closely guarded secret, changing every night. Even the Court Attendants responsible for each area could only be aware of their immediate surroundings.
Creating such a detailed map must have taken considerable effort, suggesting that she was quite favored in the palace and held a position of high status.
"He must treat you very well," he said softly, his hand gently covering her face. Guilt and pain flickered in his lowered eyes, along with an unspoken resentment. "I didn't protect you well enough. I'm sorry."
She kept her eyes tightly shut, unwilling to look at him, fearing that if she softened even for a moment, she would abandon everything and flee with him from the capital, away from this place of turmoil.
But what would leaving accomplish? Could she truly be with him? Her heart wrestled with anguish.
After much hesitation, she finally asked, "Feng Yuan, will we be together?"
"Yes, we will," he replied decisively, nodding with unwavering conviction. His words tore at her already wounded heart, sending another wave of pain through her. Her body trembled slightly.
On the night of March 28th, the air was still and silent as if time itself had stopped.
Yun Kezhai stood atop the city tower, gazing up at the stars that sparkled like diamonds. His expression was vacant, yet his heart felt clear.
In the distance, palace lanterns flickered as commotion began to rise. He led his troops forward with determination, quickly closing in on the Heavenly Palace where the emperor resided.
As the city gates broke open, she watched him spur his horse into the city. Suddenly, a large group of guards emerged from the tower above, swiftly shutting the gates and cutting him off from his army.
A large number of Imperial Guards surged in from the left and right gates, encircling him along the base of the wall. Once they stood in neat formation, they held their guns with both hands, waiting for the command from their leader.
Feng Yuan looked at the two court generals appearing before him and realized that defeat was inevitable. He casually tossed his sword to the ground, maintaining an elegant smile: "What a clever trap to invite me into the urn; truly splendid. I wonder who devised this brilliant strategy that led to my disgraceful defeat. Could you two generals enlighten me so that I may understand my loss?"
The two generals exchanged glances but remained silent.
She slowly descended from the city tower, passing through the soldiers on standby, and approached him with a bright smile: "It was me; I betrayed you. Now, like me, you have nothing left."
"Yun'er?! Why? It was you..."
He stared at her in shock, unable to believe it.
If there was anyone in this world he could trust wholeheartedly, it would be Yun Kezhai, the one who had been by his side since he was seventeen—Yun'er, who had comforted him through his pain and confusion with laughter and tears. His body trembled slightly.
"Why? You killed my family, and you still dare to ask why?" Her eyes burned with intense hatred, searing his heart inch by inch like a raging fire.
