However, what happened last night was indeed strange.
There must have been some manipulation behind the scenes.
Lost in thought, he was suddenly interrupted by a loud voice echoing through the hall.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the Dayue state and countless citizens, I implore you to grant Consort Yun a death sentence!"
The air seemed to freeze instantly, and everyone stared in shock at Su Mo Yuan, who had descended from above.
Tian Fei Yao's eyes flashed with a cold, bloodthirsty glint. "Since when did General Su start meddling in my harem affairs? Is this not overstepping your bounds?"
The ministers below sighed in dismay; who didn't know that Consort Yun was currently favored? Even if Lord Su was speaking up for his daughter, he should know better!
"I fail to understand where Your Majesty places the foundation laid by our ancestors!" Su Mo Yuan stood tall and unafraid, exuding righteousness. "You could very well reveal Gu Yun Niang's true identity and see if anyone would oppose this enchantress entering the harem!"
His words stunned everyone into silence; they were all taken aback.
Could it be that a mere consort had some special identity?
Tian Fei Yao clenched his fists secretly. That damned old man, did he hear something? Just as he was about to speak, a captivating figure slowly entered the hall.
"General Su is correct; Gu Yun Niang's true identity is the beloved daughter of the Huainan Wang of Great Zhou, Princess Jinghong!" Ling Wan Yue rushed over upon learning that Su Mo Yuan had come to court. As soon as her words left her mouth, chaos erupted.
Her phoenix eyes glared at the man sitting high above, filled with mockery. In truth, she had no intention of continuing to target Tian Fei Yao, especially since he held significant military power now. However, last night...
That man's words had completely enraged her.
Since Gu Yun Niang was so important to them, she would have to destroy this woman!
The sense of superiority cultivated since childhood shaped her personality. What she wanted had to completely belong to her!
Men are like this, and the throne is even more so!
"The Emperor actually made the Dazhou Princess a consort; isn't this inviting trouble?"
"Yes, that woman has already caused chaos in the harem. How can this continue..."
"Don't forget, there’s also the Jing'an Marquis! Now in our Dayue, why are all these people from Dazhou?"
Listening to the whispers of the ministers, Tian Feiyao's expression grew even darker.
"Who is the Jinghong Princess? She is a Freak sent by heaven. It is said that when she was born, the sages of Dazhou predicted that this woman would bring disaster to the country! And so Dazhou perished! Does Your Majesty also want our Dayue's century-old foundation to be destroyed by this woman?" Ling Wanyue's words were compelling, her gaze locking onto Su Moyuan's, everything unspoken.
The hall fell silent, everyone looking towards their king.
They hoped he could provide an explanation! Or perhaps a decision!
Tian Feiyao slowly stood up under everyone's gaze, a bloodthirsty glint flickering in his eyes. A wicked smile played at the corners of his lips, captivating all. "My family matters are not for you to meddle in! So what if she is a national disaster Freak? What sages of Dazhou? Pure nonsense! To label an innocent and beautiful girl as a national disaster Freak is to ruin someone’s life! What kind of sage does that make? I have always believed that my fate is determined by me, not by heaven! The Dynasty of Dayue was built by my ancestors with their blood and flesh. How could it collapse because of a weak woman? Do you not trust me? Or do you not trust yourselves? Furthermore, I do not like hearing you refer to Dayue as Dazhou. Because there is no longer Dazhou; only Dayue remains, and every one of them is my subject. I have the responsibility to ensure they live peaceful and happy lives. Since ancient times, women followed their fathers at home and their husbands when married. Now Gu Yunniang is my woman; she is truly one of the Great Yue People! Not only will I make her a consort, but I will also make her empress. What can you do about it?"
His arrogant and domineering words left everyone present utterly stunned!
Ling Wanyue was even more frozen in place, speechless.
Tian Feiyao looked at her and coldly continued, "Since ancient times, the harem should not interfere in politics. After I take charge, does the Empress Dowager have too much free time?"
Ling Wanyue's face flushed red and pale alternately. "Your Majesty speaks too harshly; I only worry for the state!"
This morning court session ended on an unhappy note.
The Ling Clan was deeply affected, all because of the Emperor's words, declaring her as Empress! Although this statement seemed to be a momentary outburst from the Emperor, who could guarantee it wouldn't become reality?
Gu Yuniang slowly opened her eyes; she had slept very soundly last night. She had originally intended to have a good talk with Yunxin, but she ended up falling asleep!
She hurriedly got up and dressed, rushing out of her room, only to see Ugly Girl passing by.
"Ugly Girl, have you seen Yunxin?"
"Your Highness... what are you doing here? I haven't seen Yunxin!" Ugly Girl looked at her in confusion.
"Oh, I slept with Yunxin last night, so I'll head back to my room now!" Gu Yuniang said with a smile before leaving. Once she returned to the Imperial Hall Master Bedroom, she quickly asked Yi Er to help her wash up.
While changing clothes, Tian Feiyao quietly entered. He shook his head at Yi Er, and the little maid immediately retreated quietly.
Such deep affection!
Tian Feiyao felt a wave of guilt in his heart as he stepped forward and gently embraced Gu Yuniang from behind, greedily inhaling her faint fragrance. "I miss you so much!"
Gu Yuniang couldn't help but chuckle, "Why are you being so mushy today? Did you do something to let me down?"
What was meant as a joke stirred up a storm in Tian Feiyao's heart.
Noticing that he remained silent for a long time, Gu Yuniang frowned and turned to look at him. Seeing his weary expression, she couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Nothing! Do you want to do something today? I'll accompany you!"
"Isn't that too idle? No need; you go ahead and handle your own matters! I'm going to visit my father later!" Gu Yuniang blinked her big eyes, her pupils pure like a clear pool of water...
"Alright then, let Ugly Girl accompany you! I do have some matters to attend to!" A cold glint flashed in Tian Feiyao's eyes but was quickly replaced by tenderness.
"Mm!"
After Gu Yuniang left, Tian Feiyao immediately called Luo Qingyun to the Imperial Prosperity Hall.
"Azure Sky, check if I have been poisoned!" As soon as they entered the inner chamber, Tian Feiyao blurted this out. What happened last night was truly suspicious!
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingyun quickly took Tian Feiyao's pulse.
After a long while, his expression turned serious. "Senior Brother... you have been poisoned with a deadly toxin! Moreover, there is no antidote for this poison!"
With a loud crash, the sound of breaking porcelain echoed through the room.
Tian Feiyao narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Who is outside? Get in here!"
At the door, Yunxin, who was already pale with fright, stumbled in! Deadly poison? How could that be? Could it be that the medicine she administered yesterday was problematic?
But she never intended for this man to die!
"Your servant pays respects to Your Majesty and to Lord Luo!" She lowered her head, trembling all over.
"Little Yunxin, it seems you really enjoy eavesdropping! You should know this isn't the first time!" Luo Qingyun's eyes sparkled with a dangerous light, exuding an icy aura!
"Yunxin, do you have something to say to me?" Tian Feiyao asked coldly.
