Mo Ting's eyes flashed with a hint of hatred. "Consort Yun, I know my crime!"
"I heard you are now the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. This place is sparsely populated; you should send more people to patrol. Do you know? Just now, a suspicious person almost harmed me. Oh... wait, you arrived right after the incident. Mo Ting, are you trying to assassinate me?"
Gu Yuniang narrowed her eyes, her expression unreadable, making it hard to tell whether she was speaking the truth or not.
Mo Ting felt a chill in his heart. He had just seen the skills of Gu Yuniang's maid, which were far superior to his own. Although the silver needle was poisoned, the effects would not take place immediately.
If he forced a confrontation now, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Thinking this, he lowered his head and respectfully bowed. "I would never dare to commit such an act of treason, especially since you... are still family to me!"
Gu Yuniang was taken aback, her smile fading from her face.
She said nothing more and walked straight towards the Heavenly Prison with Ugly Girl.
"Don't you think he's suspicious?" Ugly Girl asked quietly as they walked.
"No, he wouldn't kill me! He's just a bit ruthless in his actions; without his father's protection now, he's restrained himself quite a bit. When it comes to murder, he definitely wouldn't dare!" Gu Yuniang stated firmly based on her impression of Mo Ting.
When Yunxin saw Gu Yuniang for the first time, she understood that Mo Ting had failed.
She forced a smile. "Miss, I didn't expect you would come to see Yunxin; I thought you must hate me by now!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuniang felt a pang in her heart as she looked through the prison bars at the haggard woman inside. "How could I? I don’t believe for a second that you did it! Yunxin, tell me the truth. I will definitely rescue you!"
A flash of disgust crossed Yunxin's eyes. This woman pretended to care for her while taking everything away from her.
"No... it's fine. This matter is Yunxin's fault. The Emperor... is he alright?" Yunxin looked up at Gu Yuniang, her large eyes brimming with tears and her pointed chin giving her an appearance that was utterly pitiable.
Gu Yuniang felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. Aqiao loved A-Yao so much!
Just as she was about to speak, Ugly Girl had already smiled and started talking. "Yunxin, don't worry! Ever since the Emperor was poisoned, the Empress has never left his side, taking care of him with utmost devotion, and their love is truly enviable! So, for the sake of the touching love between the Emperor and the Empress, Heaven will definitely not let anything happen to the Emperor!"
After Gu Yuniang and her servant left, Ugly Girl couldn't help but feel pleased when she recalled Yunxin's terribly ugly expression just now.
"You, I told you not to provoke her before. And you still said that!" On the way, Gu Yuniang couldn't help but complain about her excessive words.
Ugly Girl huffed in dissatisfaction. "I can't stand her fake appearance. Do you really think she still considers you a good sister?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuniang was taken aback and didn't know how to respond.
Things had changed; there was indeed a change.
It was in those unintentional words and glances—everything had changed.
Seeing her sullen and silent, Ugly Girl continued earnestly, "This woman is not as simple as you think. Her greatest skill is pretending to be pitiful and weak. Just look at how she betrayed you; it shows how scheming she is! You should know that she has long been in love with Tian Feiyao but never revealed it to you. Can someone like that be considered a good sister?"
"Enough. Ugly Girl, stop talking!" Upon hearing this, Gu Yuniang felt a dull pain in her heart, as if her insides were twisted into a knot, making her want to cry.
Ugly Girl shook her head in disappointment and indeed fell silent.
Upon returning to Imperial Prosperity Hall, she went back to her own room. Gu Yuniang knew that she was angry.
Gu Yuniang first went to the bedroom to see Tian Feiyao but found Yun Shuyan there as well. Dressed in white, his handsome face bore a faint smile. The moment he saw her, he paused slightly before regaining his composure and nodded slightly. "Consort Yun!"
Memories of the past echoed in her mind. Remembering all that had happened before, she could only say, "How has the Jing'an Marquis been lately?"
Once upon a time, he was her husband. Now, he was Tian Feiyao's subject, and she was Tian Feiyao's woman.
Everything had changed beyond recognition.
"That's fine. I heard that the Emperor has been poisoned, and even the Divine Doctor Luo Qingyun is at a loss. So I wanted to come and see if there was anything I could do to help!" Yun Shuyan's smile was like a warm breeze, bringing an indescribable comfort.
"What can you do?" Upon hearing about Tian Feiyao's life and death, Gu Yuniang immediately perked up.
Leaning against the bed, Tian Feiyao squinted at the woman, a chill gradually creeping into her heart. Hadn't she forgotten many things? She had ordered that no one mention it; how did she know that Yun Shuyan was now the Jing'an Marquis?
"I have a humble request; I hope the Emperor will grant it!" Yun Shuyan suddenly looked at Tian Feiyao, his expression serious.
"Speak!" Tian Feiyao said coldly, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I have been weak since childhood, but after meeting a Divine Doctor, I slowly recovered through her years of treatment. Over the years, I have also learned quite a bit about pharmacology from her and understand many strange poisons. Now that the Emperor is ill, as a subject, I should serve! Let me taste the Emperor's stool to see if I can identify which poison it is!" When he finished speaking, Gu Yuniang was stunned.
"No! Absolutely not!" she almost blurted out.
In her mind, Yun Shuyan had always been an untainted and ethereal figure. How could he be subjected to such humiliation?
Seeing how fiercely she defended Yun Shuyan, a glimmer of killing intent emerged in Tian Feiyao's eyes. Her face twisted in anger, making her look terrifying.
At that moment, her thoughts were consumed by images of this woman betraying her while being carefree with this man. Jealousy drove him nearly mad; during that year when he wasn't around, had they shared romantic moments together?
He felt like a lost child, devoid of any confidence in his love.
Hatred flared up again, ready to explode!
Thinking of this, he coldly smiled, "Since you have such intentions, my dear minister, I am quite touched!"
Yun Shuyan slightly nodded, "To serve the Emperor, I would gladly give my life!"
Ignoring Gu Yuniang's shocked gaze, Tian Feiyao had already summoned people to take Yun Shuyan away. At the moment he left, Gu Yuniang looked at him with sorrow written all over her face.
Yun Shuyan... he didn't need to go this far.
The man in white no longer looked at her, standing tall and resolutely walking out, his face... still carrying a faint smile.
"My Yun'er, for you, I am willing to do anything!"
As soon as he left, Gu Yuniang glared at Tian Feiyao with resentment. "Why did you have to do this?"
"What relationship do you have with him now? Why are you so worried about him and defending him? You should know that this was his own request, not something I forced upon him!" Tian Feiyao gritted his teeth, speaking with immense hatred.
What kind of gaze was that? The two of them were openly affectionate right in front of her!
How could she bear it?
"You have disappointed me too much! Really..." Gu Yuniang trembled, heavily closing her eyes as a chill gradually crept into her heart.
Such torment was too humiliating for a man who had once been of the highest status!
She understood that Tian Feiyao was doing this on purpose.
He couldn't stand... that he had once been married to Yun Shuyan.
But how could one be so excessive in their actions?
