Everything was developing according to her predetermined course.
As for Hua Fei, she had given her a "surprise" gift. That woman was indeed not an ordinary person!
Originally, she wanted to ask about Hua Fei's poisoning scheme against Tian Feiyao, but she held back the question.
What face did she have to inquire? They were both just plotting against the same person.
She told herself to be ruthless while hoping that Tian Feiyao would be more cautious. That was all she could wish for.
However, as the day of returning to the palace approached, she noticed that Hua Fei seemed increasingly anxious and restless.
Several times she asked her what was wrong, but Hua Fei refused to say anything. Gu Yuniang knew that Hua Fei had many secrets. Although she was not a gossiping person, she wanted to care for her and hoped to get closer to her heart.
But Hua Fei always maintained a demeanor that kept others at a distance.
Thus, Gu Yuniang could only hope that Hua Fei would not be recognized by the cunning Luo Qingyun and Tian Feiyao.
Otherwise, she would be doomed!
Tomorrow they would return to the palace. That day, Gu Yuniang brought a box of pastries to where her father and the Empress Dowager resided. As she reached the door, she overheard them talking about something.
Unable to resist her curiosity, she held her breath and stood at the entrance.
"Chang Wei, I have spent my life entangled in palace intrigues and power struggles. At that time, I always thought that power was the most beautiful thing in the world. So, for those superficial desires, I ruthlessly abandoned you. I abandoned my only love! I was wrong, truly wrong..." The voice of Empress Dowager Ma Jinlian carried a slight sob, shedding her usual authority. Through the window curtain, Gu Yunniang saw her nestled in her father's arms, completely resembling a little woman.
Gu Yunniang's heart raced.
It turned out that her father and the Empress Dowager were once old lovers!
This gossip was too shocking!
At that moment, her father's voice came again, "Jinlian, it’s great that you can understand. It was worth it for me to wait for you a lifetime. Didn't Yunniang say? One day we will find a paradise, where we can grow flowers and tea. Living a simple and happy life together with you and Yunniang by my side is enough for this life!"
Listening to these words, Gu Yunniang felt a pang in her heart but couldn't help smiling. Regardless of whether there had been an affair between her father and the Empress Dowager, they were in love now and planned to spend their lives together.
Then, the only thing she could do was to do her best to fulfill their wishes!
Thinking of this, she felt even more resolute about her decision.
Unwilling to disturb such a warm scene, she turned and walked away briskly.
Two luxurious carriages slowly drove toward the palace, one after the other. Inside the carriage, Gu Yunniang nestled beside Tian Feiyao, her face radiating a sweet smile. "A-Yao, nowadays men like to have multiple wives; you mustn't do that!"
Tian Feiyao paused slightly, his eyes narrowing as he suddenly recalled how they were when they first got together.
Someone placed their hands on their hips and shouted, "If you dare to find another woman in the future, I will leave you! And before I go, I will make sure to kill that pair of adulterers!"
He truly did not understand why, despite having a harem of three thousand, hearing her say that made him feel an unusual sweetness inside. He now realized that it was a kind of domineering possessiveness. To love someone is to want to possess her entirely, not allowing anyone to covet his territory. Even if someone looked at her for a moment too long, he would feel uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, the corners of his lips lifted even more. "Alright, let's live a monogamous life!" The term "monogamous" was something he had heard from her.
She always had so many novel ideas in her mind.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuniang buried herself contentedly in his chest, but her eyes misted over with tears.
A-Yao, if you knew I was deceiving you, would you hate me?
But I don’t want you to hate me; I want you to live happily. You have a prosperous and wealthy country, so many women, and in the future, you will meet other women, fall in love with them, cherish them...
So please, don’t hate me!
Watching the person in his arms tremble slightly, Tian Feiyao smiled faintly, thinking she was secretly delighted!
He finally made up his mind to love this woman with all his might, unwavering until death!
In the carriage behind them, Luo Qingyun, Hua Fei, Gu Changwei, and Ma Jinlian were all silent, not saying a word from beginning to end. Luo Qingyun looked at the somewhat attractive "Ugly Girl" and could no longer hold back her teasing. "Girl, how were you sold into...?"
Upon hearing this, the Ugly Girl's face flushed. "My family was poor; my mother died when I was young. My father was later harmed by treacherous people. To bury my father properly, I went to... Fortunately, I met such a kind person like you who bought me and let me follow her!"
Luo Qingyun sighed upon hearing this. Why were there so many stories of selling oneself to bury a father?
It seems that many people in the country still need care!
"You need to be careful with your words from now on. The carriage in front is not just any young lady or gentleman; it's the Emperor and Consort Yun! Do you understand?" Luo Qingyun, seeing her pitiful state, couldn't help but kindly remind her. After all, surviving in the Harem sometimes means that a single word could lead to your demise!
"I understand!" the Ugly Girl obediently lowered her head.
Seeing her calm demeanor, Luo Qingyun was slightly surprised. Normally, when poor girls learn of their identities, they would be somewhat excited or astonished!
But this Ugly Girl was far too composed!
He took a sip of tea and then looked at Gu Changwei and Ma Jinlian. "Lord Gu, I believe you are aware of Yun'er's amnesia. The Emperor should have briefed you as well; there are things that should not be spoken!"
Gu Changwei and Ma Jinlian nodded in agreement, remaining silent.
Yun'er had instructed them to speak less! Just follow the arrangements; everything would be handled by her!
In the Imperial Prosperity Hall.
The moment Yunxin saw Tian Feiyao, a weight lifted from her heart. However, when she noticed the woman in his arms, a wave of bitterness surged within her.
From a distance, they truly looked like a perfect match.
Perhaps she shouldn't harbor such delusions, thinking that she could stand beside him!
Tian Feiyao ignored everyone's greetings and directly picked up Gu Yuniang, carrying her into the bedroom. He called for Yunxin and quietly instructed, "Your master is asleep. Be careful and watch over her, see if she needs anything! I will be back shortly!"
Yunxin nodded, watching him tenderly cover the young lady with a blanket, and the feeling of bitterness grew stronger within her.
Tian Feiyao went to the Sky Pillar to handle state affairs. After being away for more than ten days, there were too many memorials piled up! He asked Xu Xun, who was attending to him nearby, "Has there been any movement from the Ling family recently?"
"Everything has been very calm, but..." Xu Xun hesitated, unsure whether to speak or remain silent about this matter.
"But what?" A glint flashed in Tian Feiyao's eyes as he set down the memorial in his hand.
In the Phoenix Luan Palace.
On the bed, a woman gazed infatuatedly at the man riding on top of her, calling out passionately.
In the vast palace, it seemed that only the sounds of their intimate activities could be heard.
After being lonely for so long, when her body suddenly received pleasure, Ling Wanyue felt as if her toes were curling in comfort; every cell in her body was rejoicing in this long-awaited joy.
So comfortable!
However, the man on top of her remained silent, his thin lips pressed tightly together. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead onto his fair chest, adding to his allure.
