"You know, I keep you by my side just to torment you! Since that's the case, how could I possibly let him go easily? If I kill him, it will make you suffer for a lifetime. Therefore, I choose to let you end him with your own hands!" After saying this, he ignored Gu Yuniang's shocked gaze, quickly drew a sword from the table, and placed it into Gu Yuniang's hand. Then he tightly grasped her cold hand and ruthlessly stabbed it into Eunuch Rongsheng's heart.
Eunuch Rongsheng looked at the woman before him with wide eyes, a smile appearing on his lips...
Tian Feiyao's movements were swift, ruthless, and precise, leaving no time for anyone to react.
"No..." Gu Yuniang cried out hoarsely, shaking her head desperately, but everything had already been decided.
The sound of the blade cutting through flesh echoed in the room for a long time...
A flood of blood red surged forth, and she felt as if she were lost in a sea of poisonous flowers. Her heart tightened, and in her terrified eyes, she seemed to see Eunuch Rongsheng's last words: "I love you!"
Her vision went dark, and she collapsed heavily to the ground.
Sky Pillar.
At this moment, Hua Fei felt restless and couldn't even pay attention to the man who had been winking at her. She regretted getting involved in this mess; suddenly, she realized she hadn't seen Rongsheng all day!
In a state of turmoil, she stood up and walked directly to the Empress Dowager. Respectfully, she said, "Empress Dowager, I am feeling unwell and would like to take my leave!"
Ling Wanyue didn't even glance at her. "Go ahead!" Then she turned to the others and smiled, "The Emperor must have urgent matters to attend to; everyone please remain calm!"
"The Emperor clearly chased after a palace maid; what kind of conduct is that?"
"Exactly!"
The ministers below erupted into heated discussions.
Sitting in the front, Ling Cheng looked at his daughter, and they both revealed a barely noticeable smile. The more mistakes the Emperor made, the better. Now he had offended Su Mo Yuan again; although the military command was no longer in his hands, his authority still remained!
Who didn't know that this man was famous for doting on his daughter?
At this moment, Li Fei could only grit her teeth in frustration, her beautiful eyes flashing with a sinister light. All of this was caused by Gu Yun Niang, making her the subject of everyone's ridicule here!
"My dear ministers, thank you for your patience! Today, I intend to announce some news!" Just as everyone was whispering among themselves, a commanding voice suddenly echoed through the hall. Tian Fei Yao stood proudly at the entrance of the hall in a bright yellow dragon robe, his imposing demeanor making it difficult for anyone to meet his gaze.
He slightly stepped aside, and a Purple-Clad Man appeared before everyone. His pale face bore a faint smile that felt refreshing, like a gentle spring breeze, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort...
"Oh? I wonder what news the Emperor is going to announce?" Ling Wan Yue raised an eyebrow as she looked at the Purple-Clad Man. When their eyes met, she shivered all over, disbelief flooding her gaze.
This person seemed to...
Tian Fei Yao smiled and nodded to Chief Eunuch Xu Xun.
Xu Xun opened the imperial edict embroidered with cloud and dragon patterns and read aloud, "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Today, the former Crown Prince of the Great Zhou, Yun Shu Yan, wishes to submit to our dynasty and serve as a subject for eternity. In recognition of his loyalty, I hereby confer upon Yun Shu Yan the title of Jing'an Marquis and grant him a mansion and ten thousand taels of gold! Bestowed!"
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!" Yun Shu Yan respectfully accepted the edict.
As soon as the edict was announced, an uproar filled the hall.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable! He is a remnant of the Great Zhou and even a former Crown Prince. How can we raise a tiger that may harm us?" Su Mo Yuan was the first to voice his opposition. He thought of his ancestors who had fought for the Great Yue Dynasty through generations, while Tian Fei Yao was known as the most ruthless and decisive king in Dayue's history. Yet now he made such a decision that raised concerns about Dayue's future!
"I have made up my mind!" Tian Fei Yao's eyes flashed with sharp brilliance as he stared directly at Su Mo Yuan.
"Su Qing is overthinking it. I believe His Majesty has carefully considered this decision. Not only has he not exterminated all subjects from Great Zhou but has also conferred titles and positions. In my view, such actions bring only benefits and no harm!" Ling Wan Yue suddenly spoke up, drawing everyone's attention towards her.
"What do you mean by that, Your Highness?"
"Currently, the Great Yue Dynasty has millions of people, half of whom were once subjects of the Great Zhou. If they knew that our Emperor is so benevolent, they would surely be willing to submit to Dayue. Moreover, Yun Shuyan holds an incredibly esteemed position in the hearts of the people of Great Zhou. If he has pledged allegiance, what can others do?"
After Ling Wanyue finished speaking, the officials below nodded in agreement.
Yun Shuyan looked at Ling Wanyue with slight surprise. This woman is not simple; she possesses such insight!
Tian Feiyao's gaze met Ling Wanyue's, and they both smiled in unison. After years of political rivalry, they finally reached a consensus.
However, his smile was too cold, bringing an unspoken chill.
As the banquet concluded, Su Moyuan left in anger, lamenting his moment of weakness. His daughter had forced his hand with threats of death, leading him to relinquish his power. But now, regret was futile.
There was only so much he could do for his daughter.
He could only hope for the prosperity of the nation and that the Emperor would not regret this decision in the future.
The newly appointed Jing'an Marquis Yun Shuyan fixed his gaze on a figure hiding in the shadows. If he wasn't mistaken, that person was Mo Ting, the son of the former Chancellor of Great Zhou!
Hua Fei stumbled back to the Listening Snow Tower. As soon as she entered, she saw Qinglong sitting inside, and there wasn't a single servant in the hall.
She quickly calmed herself and feigned confusion as she asked, "Why has Lord Qinglong come to my palace?"
" Eunuch Rongsheng is a servant in your palace!" Qinglong stood up and looked down at her.
"Yes, what happened to him?" Hua Fei's hands trembled as a bad premonition surged within her.
"He is suspected of trespassing into a forbidden area and has already been dealt with on the spot. His wife, Taohua, upon seeing him dead, followed him as well! We have already taken care of their bodies. I came here just to inform Your Highness! I will take my leave now!" After saying this, Qinglong strode away.
Hearing that name, she trembled all over, yet her face remained as calm as still water.
In a pitch-black room where one could not see their hand in front of their face, Gu Yunniang was frantically searching for a way out. She tried to call out a name, but found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound.
Fear washed over her like a tidal wave. At that moment, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the center of the room, and a figure stood quietly there. She slowly turned around and saw Eunuch Rongsheng standing there, covered in blood, looking at her with deep sorrow.
"Taohua... Taohua..." His bloodied lips kept murmuring as he smiled at her, revealing a set of stark white teeth...
"Ah..." She let out a terrible scream and woke up. A gust of wind blew into the room, and she realized she was drenched in cold sweat. Her brows furrowed tightly as she pressed her hand against her heart.
Eunuch Rongsheng... Eunuch Rongsheng...
"Your Highness is awake!" A cheerful voice called out. She looked up and saw a palace maid standing by the bed, her round face adorned with a sweet smile, looking quite adorable...
"Who are you?" she asked in confusion. Your Highness? What was going on?
"I am the palace maid serving Your Highness, called Yi Er."
Gu Yunniang was even more bewildered at this moment. Looking around, she found herself in an entirely unfamiliar environment, as if she had fallen into the confusion of just having crossed over. "Where is this place?"
