"Let you go? But who will let my poor brother go! Who will let the more than a hundred members of the Eunuch family who died tragically go!" Hua Fei suddenly shouted hysterically, her appearance heart-wrenching.
Gu Yuniang was even more confused at this moment, "What do you mean by people who died tragically? Who exactly are you?"
"You don't need to know that. Now, it's time for you to compensate me!" Hua Fei's lips suddenly curled into a strange smile, her eyes fixed directly on Gu Yuniang, making her scalp tingle.
The next day.
Xu Xun rushed into the Imperial Prosperity Hall, "Hua Fei has disappeared! I sent people to search her Listening to Snow Pavilion and found a secret room! But there is nothing left inside."
Yunxin was serving Tian Feiyao as she got dressed, and upon hearing this, her movements froze.
"Prepare to leave the palace immediately and arrange for another group to search the entire city for Hua Fei's whereabouts!" A flash of surprise crossed Tian Feiyao's cold eyes, but it was only for a moment.
"Yes!" Xu Xun hurriedly went to make arrangements.
"Your Majesty, how could Hua Fei suddenly disappear! Who is she really?" Yunxin was puzzled. How could a consort's palace hide a secret room? If it were the Empress Dowager, she would believe it, but this was usually the gentle and understanding Hua Fei!
"Don't ask so many questions. Right now, I need to go find your master!" Tian Feiyao looked into the distance, his eyes filled with deep concern.
At this moment, he just wanted to be by that woman's side immediately. Everything indicated that this matter was caused by Hua Fei. Seeing that things were about to be exposed and that she was already suspected, she must have fled first. Therefore, Yun'er could very likely be in danger!
The annual Courtesan Competition had begun again, traditionally held at the largest Drunken Flower Pavilion in the city every year. Other courtesans also dressed up and came here, waiting for their performances.
The manager of the Drunken Flower Pavilion hurriedly arrived at Gu Yuniang's room; today she was the finale!
Upon opening the door, however, she saw an extra person in the room and paused for a moment. "Who is this young lady? I've never seen her before."
Gu Yuniang glanced at her sideways, "This is my maid; I just bought her. Of course, you've never seen her! Her name is Ugly Girl!" It was far from being an Ugly Girl; it was clearly Hua Fei.
Gu Yuniang was increasingly confused about what Hua Fei really wanted. However, it was also her first time witnessing the art of disguise from ancient times.
"What a beautiful girl, how can she be called Ugly Girl?" **** muttered, then quickly urged Gu Yuniang, "Hurry up and get ready; it's almost your turn to go on stage!" After saying that, she poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
"Drink some tea! It will soothe your throat!"
Gu Yuniang hurriedly took a big sip and then quickly asked Ugly Girl to bring over the clothes she had prepared.
**** smiled with satisfaction and then exited the room.
As she walked away, she smiled proudly, knowing that once Gu Yuniang drank that cup of tea, she wouldn't have to worry about her not complying. No one could resist the power of such a potion!
After getting dressed, Gu Yuniang looked at herself in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction.
"How do I look?" she asked for Hua Fei's opinion.
"I didn't expect you to be so happy here at ****! I haven't seen you smile like this in the Imperial Palace!" Hua Fei said sarcastically; she really didn't understand this woman.
"Well, since this is my farewell concert for this trip to ****, I have to make a good impression! But..." She looked at Hua Fei's completely different face and said worriedly, "Are you sure Tian Feiyao won't recognize you like this?"
Hua Fei, puzzled by her strange words, showed a proud smile upon hearing that. "Of course! I'm very confident in my disguise skills. I haven't found anyone who can match me!"
Throwing aside her usual facade, she smiled so freely, her eyes filled with pride. Gu Yuniang believed that all men would be captivated by this woman.
Because of her demeanor, the radiance she exuded was unparalleled.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuniang suddenly reached out and grasped Hua Fei's hand. "I know you will never forgive me in this lifetime! Now that Eunuch Rongsheng is gone, let me take care of you in his place, okay?"
Hua Fei was taken aback, looking into the clear eyes of the woman before her, which held no impurities and were filled with sincerity. She suddenly felt flustered and pulled her smooth hand away, instantly reverting back to her cold demeanor.
"Gu Yuniang, what qualifications do you have to replace Eunuch Rongsheng? Do you think you can easily obtain my forgiveness? Is that possible? Don't forget our current relationship! Right now, we are like grasshoppers on the same line; you have your goals, and I have mine. Only after we achieve our objectives will it be time to settle our grievances!"
Today, the Drunken Flower Pavilion was filled with a lively atmosphere, with waves of seductive music echoing from within.
A man in white stood at the entrance, pacing anxiously.
From time to time, a luxurious carriage slowly approached. A richly dressed man stepped out of the carriage, his hard features exuding a cold and bloodthirsty aura. As soon as he appeared, the man in white immediately greeted him with surprise.
"Have you confirmed that the woman is Yun'er?" Tian Feiyao's beautiful eyes were filled with concern.
Luo Qingyun shook his head. "I couldn't get in at all. Since yesterday, the Drunken Flower Pavilion has been closed to guests. I tried to break in several times but found many experts hidden inside. I didn't want to alert them, so I held back!"
Tian Feiyao raised an eyebrow in surprise; it seemed he had underestimated Hua Fei's strength.
"Let's go in!" He looked up at the three gilded characters of Drunken Flower Pavilion and said coldly.
Azure Dragon silently followed behind them. Ever since the last incident, he hadn't spoken to Gu Yuniang again. That feeling could only be buried deep in his heart.
After all, the Lord was the person he respected most in his life.
But now that Gu Yuniang's life or death was uncertain, he felt for the first time that the palace was not suitable for her at all.
"Admission tickets are 500 taels each! For three people, it's 1,500 taels!" Four tall and strong men stood at the entrance of Drunken Flower Pavilion. As soon as they saw them trying to enter, they quickly blocked their way.
Luo Qingyun gasped; this was outrageous! 500 taels per person—what an exorbitant price!
Tian Feiyao exchanged glances with Azure Dragon, who hurriedly pulled out a stack of silver notes.
Seeing the money, the men nodded immediately. "You can go in!"
Drunken Flower Pavilion The usually bright hall was now dimly lit, with only a few candles flickering in the corners. Red silk ribbons floated everywhere, and a subtle fragrance lingered in the air, creating an enchanting atmosphere.
"I want to see just how beautiful these women really are!" Luo Qingyun raised an eyebrow, his peach blossom eyes sparkling with brilliance.
A few maidservants approached, noticing the three men before them, each exuding an extraordinary presence and dressed in splendid attire. Especially the one leading them, who radiated a strong aura of a king.
They quickly bowed and asked, "Would you gentlemen like a private room or regular seating?"
"A private room? The main hall?" Luo Qingyun looked at them in confusion.
"To sit in a private room requires a payment of One Thousand Taels; there is no charge for the main hall!" The maidservants shyly glanced at him.
Tian Feiyao was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. From the entrance ticket to now needing to pay for a private room, it felt very much like someone's style.
Because she had always been unconventional.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.
"A private room then!" he said lightly, his tone unexpectedly gentle.
By the time the three of them settled on the second floor, the main hall was already filled with people. Everyone was eager to catch a glimpse of the Peach Blossom Fairy, having been tantalized by anticipation for too long.
The proprietress of Drunken Flower Pavilion, Feng Si Niang, walked onto the stage with a beaming smile and announced the start of this year's Courtesan Competition.
