Sure enough, her silence confirmed the answer.
"I should have thought of this... Heh heh... Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted that way!" Yun Shuyan shook his head, never expecting that the first gift from that dark and dismal place would be so "surprising."
"What are you doing? Why are you here? Where is Eunuch Rongsheng?" Gu Yuniang's brain was nearing a state of oxygen deprivation as she suddenly thought of a very tricky question.
"Who is Eunuch Rongsheng?" Yun Shuyan suddenly felt utterly exhausted.
Gu Yuniang stared wide-eyed in shock. Did something go wrong?
"He's her new husband! A Steward Eunuch from Hua Fei Palace!" A cold voice came from behind them, and Gu Yuniang looked at the frost on that person's face, then at Yun Shuyan's shocked expression.
She suddenly felt very cold, as if her entire body had been placed in an ice cellar, chilling to the bone...
Forcing herself to calm down, she stepped forward to Tian Feiyao and said coldly, "Where is he now?"
Tian Feiyao raised an eyebrow at her, his eyes filled with anger. How dare this woman never regard him? Looking at her stubborn face, he suddenly grabbed Gu Yuniang by the throat, applying pressure and lifting her feet off the ground.
"Gu Yuniang, you have some nerve. Colluding with Hua Fei and others to do something so audacious! Do you know they will pay for this?" Tian Feiyao's crimson eyes made him look like a vengeful spirit from hell, terrifying indeed.
"Your Majesty, this could lead to someone's death!" Yun Shuyan exclaimed in horror, clenching his fists but unable to do anything.
"Cough cough cough..." Gu Yuniang's small face turned red from blood rushing to it. She bit her lip tightly, glaring hatefully at the man.
Tian Feiyao suddenly released her and pulled her arm straight into the Imperial Prosperity Hall. Gu Yuniang gasped for air, tears already welling up in her eyes.
"Let go of me, what do you want to do?" She clenched her fist and kept pounding on Tian Feiyao's back, her appearance now utterly disheveled.
Yun Shuyan felt a chill in her heart and hurried to follow.
When Gu Yuniang stepped into the grand hall and saw the person lying on the ground, her mind went blank with a loud "bang!"
A bloodied figure lay on the floor, dark blood staining the smooth marble in a horrific manner. Gu Yuniang trembled all over, as if her feet were weighed down by a thousand pounds, unable to take a step forward.
If it weren't for the familiar eunuch's robe he wore, or the mole between his brows, she would never believe this was the usually fair-skinned Eunuch Rongsheng.
"Peach... flower..." The person on the ground sensed the movement and, seeing the woman before him, struggled to speak.
Gu Yuniang quickly covered her mouth upon hearing him call her name. She didn't even dare to look at him!
" Eunuch Rongsheng! If you reveal your true identity, perhaps I might spare your life. And I am very curious about what role Hua Fei plays in this matter!" Tian Feiyao's smile was chilling, his sharp gaze cutting like a knife.
"This matter... has nothing to do with the Empress! I only begged the Empress to take in Peach Flower; she reluctantly agreed after I pleaded!" Eunuch Rongsheng spoke with great difficulty, his eyes vacant and hollow, as if he had endured immense suffering.
Seeing all this made Gu Yuniang's heart ache like being cut by a knife.
"Peach Flower? Hmph..." Tian Feiyao turned his attention to the silent Gu Yuniang, slowly approaching her with an elegant smile playing at his lips. Half coaxing and half threatening, he said, "Yun'er, if you tell me what you know, I will spare him. You wouldn't want to see him die... would you?"
Yun Shuyan stood at the door, frowning secretly.
What on earth is going on?
"I... I..." Gu Yuniang looked at Tian Feiyao with tear-filled eyes; no one knew how terrified she was at that moment. Because she was indirectly the murderer. She truly did not want Eunuch Rongsheng to die.
"Speak! Trust me!" Tian Feiyao continued to gently coax her.
"This matter... is like this... Taohua is willing to marry me... because she wants to save her family!" Eunuch Rongsheng interjected weakly, his gaze fixed intently on Gu Yuniang, as if to say, don't say it, please don't say it!
Hearing this, Yun Shuyan trembled, as if struck heavily by a blow, pain piercing his heart. His Yun'er, what kind of suffering had she endured for him?
Yet he still blamed her!
"You are just a lowly eunuch, yet you hide your true self so well. If I hadn't been on guard, perhaps you would have succeeded! Is everything really as simple as he says? Yun'er..." Tian Feiyao's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of murderous intent lurking within.
Gu Yuniang suddenly stepped past Tian Feiyao and knelt before him slowly. The delicate woman was so humbly prostrated on the ground that everyone present was taken aback.
"Taohua..." Eunuch Rongsheng exclaimed in shock, his pupils constricting as he desperately shook his head.
Tian Feiyao looked on with mild surprise, observing the frail figure without revealing any emotion.
"Your Majesty, everything is truly as he said. I was framed that day and barely escaped with my life. Fortunately, I was saved by Eunuch Rongsheng. Later, he told Hua Fei that I was his fellow townsman and asked her to take me in. Hua Fei had no doubts about him; she was completely unaware of everything. All of this was planned by me. So if punishment is to be given, let it fall upon me! I only ask Your Majesty to spare Eunuch Rongsheng; he is innocent and was used by me. If Your Majesty wishes to punish someone, let it be me. If Your Majesty is willing to spare Eunuch Rongsheng, I am willing to serve you for a lifetime without complaint!"
Tian Feiyao's pupils darkened, his expression complex as a fierce storm brewed in his eyes, resembling the ominous signs of an approaching tempest.
She actually knelt down for a fake eunuch she had known for only a few days?
"You plead for him?" Tian Feiyao's voice was as cold as a snow-capped mountain accumulated over millennia, chilling enough to make one shiver.
Gu Yuniang lowered her gaze and bowed her head repeatedly, speaking each word clearly, "Yes, Your Majesty, I beg you! Spare him!"
The room fell into a dead silence as a gust of wind slowly blew in through the open window, chilling her thin garments...
It was clearly spring, yet the cold felt bone-chilling.
Tian Feiyao wore a blank expression, his deep-set eyes hiding turbulent emotions, a bloodthirsty impulse radiating from every cell in his body, almost consuming him.
Gu Yuniang...
Seeing her dignity trampled beneath his feet was precisely his intention. For the first time, he felt love for a woman, only to be harshly abandoned by her. At that moment, he vowed to make her wish she were dead.
But now, why was there not a shred of joy, only unparalleled anger?
"Hahaha..." He suddenly laughed out loud, a chilling sound. Tian Feiyao slowly walked up to Gu Yuniang and extended his long fingers to gently lift her delicate chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.
"Yun'er, do you know... your life is not even yours? What right do you have to plead for someone else?" His indifferent words spilled from his smiling lips, causing Gu Yuniang's heart to tremble as her kneeling body swayed precariously.
"A-Yao, this is the first time I am begging you like this. No matter how you want to torment me in the future, I will willingly accept it. I beg you..." After speaking, she knocked her head down again with force.
Her frail body trembled slightly, and watching from the doorway, Yun Shuyan felt a pang of sorrow. All of this was caused by himself; he vowed that one day, the humiliation Yun'er suffered today would be repaid tenfold.
Unable to bear it any longer, he closed his eyes in pain and turned away with heavy steps.
Yet all of this only fueled Tian Feiyao's anger further.
