"No need for the Emperor's people to make this trip in vain. Having a decree is already a great honor for them. The Emperor might as well draft it, and I will take it back myself!" Consort Hua said thoughtfully.
"Alright, Xu Xun, prepare the writing tools!" Tian Feiyao quickly walked to the desk, picked up the brush, and made a few swift strokes. Suddenly, he remembered something, "What is that palace maid's name?"
"Peach Blossom."
After Consort Hua left, Tian Feiyao changed into casual clothes and left the palace. He mounted a tall steed and rode swiftly to the outskirts of the city to Tiger Garden.
As soon as he entered the main gate, he saw Luo Qingyun instructing a few people.
"Qingyun!" He strode over in that direction.
"Nothing came of it. I rushed over from Pingcheng as soon as I received your message. Ling Wan Yue will arrive tomorrow. Senior Brother, you should return to the palace to make arrangements now!" Luo Qingyun looked at Tian Feiyao's deeply sunken eyes and couldn't help but shake his head. He clearly cared so much for her but had remained indifferent and even intentionally hurt her.
Now that things had come to this point, it was too late for regrets.
"No, that matter can wait until before tomorrow night. Right now, finding her is the priority. I can't believe that a living person could just vanish into thin air. I've had people closely monitor Li Fei and the Empress these past few days, but there have been no suspicious activities. Gu Junniang couldn't possibly have escaped; if she was abducted, who could it be?" The situation regarding Gu Junniang weighed heavily on him, almost crushing him under its weight. For days he had been pondering these questions, and now that he saw Luo Qingyun, he hurriedly spilled everything out like bamboo shoots bursting through the ground.
"Have you asked Yun Shuyan?" Luo Qingyun pondered for a moment, his peach blossom eyes sparkling with insight. "Since the year you two separated, Yun Shuyan has always been by Xiao Jun's side. He might know something about her!"
"I won't go looking for him!" That scoundrel Yun Shuyan was incredibly audacious; last time he even made such a request of him. There was no way he would agree to that.
"Every day you wait, Xiao Jun's danger increases!" Luo Qingyun kindly reminded him.
With a chilling frost flashing in his deep-set eyes, Tian Feiyao suddenly turned and strode away. His dark robes billowed in the wind; from a distance, his figure resembled a towering mountain firmly standing in this world.
As he walked to the entrance, he quickly mounted his horse, raised his whip, and galloped away, his silhouette gradually disappearing.
Luo Qingyun watched him leave and narrowed his eyes slightly before sternly calling out, "Kisaragi!"
"Here! Senior Brother Qingyun." Kisaragi appeared gracefully in white attire.
"These days, we may not return for a long time. Keep an eye on the people in the cell. Notify me immediately if there is any news!" Luo Qingyun briefly instructed her before swiftly riding away.
As night fell, a few stars twinkled in the sky, illuminating all the goodness and evil in the world below.
In the dungeon beneath the stone slabs.
"Yun Shuyan, I agreed to your terms last time! But now, you must agree to one of my conditions!" Tian Feiyao stated directly upon entering.
"What condition?" Yun Shuyan looked at him in confusion.
"Gu Yuniang is missing. I need to know if she has gotten involved with anyone this past year! Otherwise, where can I search for her in this vast world?" Tian Feiyao's words were laced with intense anger; this compromise was truly unwilling.
Yun Shuyan's expression immediately turned strange. His hands rubbed against the iron cage incessantly. Was he finally going to escape from here? But how could Yun'er suddenly go missing?
After pondering for a moment, he finally spoke slowly, "If Your Majesty agrees to my request, I will agree to yours!"
Tian Feiyao narrowed his eyes, clearly wanting more. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his urge to kill, and then coldly said, "Former Crown Prince of the Great Zhou, Yun Shuyan, to show loyalty, I present the Great Zhou's imperial jade seal to Dayue and willingly submit as a subject, pledging eternal loyalty to Dayue. In light of this sentiment, I hereby grant you the title of Jing'an Marquis!"
A pair of large red candles flickered on the table. Gu Yuniang sat by the bed in her bright red wedding gown, feeling as if her heart was a jar of mixed flavors; she never expected that she would remarry.
Moreover, she was marrying a Eunuch.
Although it was fake, it still felt wrong! No, I cannot regret this! Gu Yuniang suddenly became anxious as she nervously twisted her fingers, repeatedly telling herself not to think about that bastard.
"What’s so good about him? He is a demon, cold-blooded. All he does is torment you; don’t you understand? Your father and your husband are both in his hands. The only thing you can do now is marry this Eunuch. He has martial arts skills; he can help you and provide cover so that you won't be bullied by that bastard in the Imperial Palace again. You won’t fall into his lecherous gaze again. So, Ma Lele, accept your fate!" Gu Yuniang rambled to herself, feeling somewhat relieved inside.
"What are you talking about?" Eunuch Rongsheng walked in and found her muttering alone; he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Nothing... nothing!" Gu Yuniang jumped in surprise. She stood up, thinking how fortunate it was that he hadn't heard what she said. A blatant blow like that—who could bear it?
"Are you tired today? You should rest early. Tomorrow you'll have to face everyone officially," Eunuch Rongsheng said kindly as he approached her.
Gu Yuniang nodded absentmindedly, thinking to herself, how can I sleep? There are many examples of eunuchs marrying maids in the Imperial Palace, known as "couples who share meals," but don't those maids have to satisfy the eunuchs' extreme demands?
Just thinking about those terrifying scenes made her shiver. " Eunuch Gonggong..."
"Call me Eunuch Rongsheng!" Eunuch Rongsheng gently corrected her. He never imagined that he would get married, and that he would know this girl for only a few days.
"This... is a fake marriage, right?" Gu Yuniang hesitantly asked, unable to suppress her true feelings. This sudden marriage left her completely unprepared.
A flash of hurt crossed Eunuch Rongsheng's eyes but quickly vanished. "Of course." Who would like a eunuch anyway?
"We're friends, right?" Gu Yuniang finally let out a long sigh of relief. She immediately perked up, sitting cross-legged on the bed, eager to communicate with him and strengthen their relationship.
Eunuch Rongsheng nodded.
"Friends should be honest with each other. Look, I've told you everything; shouldn't you share some things with me too?" Gu Yuniang tilted her head, smiling at the man in front of her.
Eunuch Rongsheng felt his breath catch, as if something was blocking his throat; all he could see was her beautiful face. Even more frightening was that he felt an overwhelming heat throughout his body...
"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you answering me?" Gu Yuniang looked at him curiously and couldn't help but ask with concern.
Eunuch Rongsheng seemed to snap back to reality, suddenly awake. He didn't dare look into Gu Yuniang's eyes and stammered, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about your question."
