She suddenly opened her eyes, wanting to say something more. However, she saw that Tian Feiyao had already coldly issued an eviction order, "I am very tired right now and want to rest alone. Consort Yun, you may return to your Imperial Heart Palace!"
Another blow struck her; was this really an eviction order?
Gu Yuniang found it laughable; it turned out his love was nothing more than this.
She no longer argued and respectfully said, "Then I shall not disturb Your Majesty's rest! I will take my leave now!" Her gaze was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.
Tian Feiyao nodded and closed his eyes even more indifferently than before.
This turn of events left both of them disheartened.
Yun Shuyan looked at the filthy "thing" before him, a stench permeating his entire body. Under Eunuch Xu Xun's scrutinizing gaze, he slowly crouched down.
His body felt as cold as ice, yet his smile was like a breath of spring wind.
Xu Xun handed him a pair of silver chopsticks, which he grasped tightly. Once, he had been the prince above all others but had repeatedly been humiliated in the Harem.
After hiding his talents for so many years, he had planned to make a grand display but instead experienced the destruction of his country and family.
He closed his eyes and quickly forced back the tears that were about to fall.
As he swallowed the filth, he fought against the urge to vomit and deeply gulped it down. He had never felt such discomfort in his life, not even when Tian Feiyao had locked him in a cell and subjected him to countless tortures.
This time was a dual torment both physically and psychologically.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyelids were slightly red, yet he still wore a smile. "The taste is somewhat sour. Although Your Majesty's health is poor, your body has always been well cared for; the toxins have not harmed your internal organs. So you will be fine!"
Xu Xun looked at him with a hint of pity in his eyes. It should be noted that what he had just swallowed was not just anything but excrement—the most filthy substance expelled from the human body!
This man was truly extraordinary!
Fengluan Palace.
"What?" Ling Wan Yue was shocked to the point of nearly collapsing when she heard Lucky report the news from the Imperial Throne Hall. "Lucky, is this news absolutely true?" As she slowly calmed down, her beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of ruthlessness.
"According to our sources, it is indeed the case. The Jing'an Marquis visited the Emperor, and they seemed to have discussed something in private. Later, the Jing'an Marquis..." Lucky hesitated and did not continue.
"Good, good! You little rascal! I let you take an inch, and you try to take a mile! Who in the palace doesn't know that the Jing'an Marquis is mine? Now he does this, isn't he slapping me in front of everyone in the Great Yue Dynasty?" Ling Wan Yue's voice trembled with rage, her whole body shaking from excitement.
Lucky had not seen her master so furious in a long time, and at that moment, she didn't know what to say.
For a moment, Fengluan Palace fell into a deep silence.
Outside the door, a pale face was adorned with a faint smile...
The news of Consort Yun being sent back to the Imperial Heart Palace spread quickly, and she suddenly retreated from the center of everyone's envy. Many sighed, truly, flowers do not bloom for a hundred days, and people do not remain favored for a thousand days!
Gu Yuniang surveyed this palace she hadn't inhabited for a long time, feeling a slight desolation in her heart.
It seemed it was time to leave.
Yi Er stayed by her side and, seeing her expression, couldn't help but worryingly ask, "Your Highness, why don't you go rest in your room?" Everyone in the palace was discussing why she suddenly lost favor; even they as servants couldn't help but feel concerned.
"Where are Kisaragi and Chou Ya?" Gu Yuniang suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen either of them. She couldn't help but furrow her brows and ask.
"I don't know; I haven't seen them!"
Gu Yuniang nodded tiredly and walked into her room. "You can go now; I want to be alone for a while."
Yi Er nodded obediently and left.
Gu Yuniang inhaled the fragrance of orchids in the air; this was still the scent that man loved most. Thinking of this, a wave of bitterness spread through her heart. She closed her eyes, and tears streamed down her face!
Ugly Girl gritted her teeth against the excruciating pain coursing through her body as she hurried down the palace corridor. She glanced down at her fingers, which had turned completely black, and her heart raced with panic.
If she didn’t get treatment soon, she would surely die!
Did she really have to seek help from that person?
Just as she hesitated, a figure suddenly appeared before her. "In such a hurry, where are you off to?" The newcomer crossed their arms and asked coolly.
Ugly Girl felt a chill run down her spine and quickly hid her hands behind her back, responding nonchalantly, "Miss Kisaragi, I’m just rushing back to the Imperial Heart Palace to take care of the Empress."
Kisaragi smirked coldly, sizing her up. "You have some skills; your acting is quite good too!"
The smile on Ugly Girl's face froze instantly. "I don’t understand what you mean, Miss Kisaragi."
"Stop pretending. I saw everything that happened today! Who are you really? What is your purpose in the palace?" Kisaragi's expression darkened suddenly, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she glared at the woman before her.
That day, a major incident occurred in the palace.
The Emperor had not attended court for several days, and everyone knew he had been poisoned, his life hanging in the balance. Even Divine Doctor Luo Qingyun was at a loss. The culprit, Yunxin, had been thrown into the Heavenly Prison.
Soon after, another shocking revelation emerged.
Yunxin admitted that the poison was in the Supplement she had given to the Emperor, but this Supplement had been sent by Queen Ling Yaoyue not long ago. This stirred up a massive uproar in the court.
Everyone knew that the Ling Clan held significant influence throughout the Great Yue Dynasty.
If it were true that the Queen had poisoned him, the Ling Clan would suffer a devastating blow.
At Chuxi Palace,
The Queen's personal maid looked at the unfriendly faces of Azure Dragon and others with a frosty expression. "What do you want? Don’t forget, the person living here is your master!"
Ling Yaoyue was already panicking at this moment. Last time, she had intended to use Consort Li to strike against Consort Yun, but that plan fell through. Now, she found herself inexplicably entangled in the matter of the Emperor's poisoning.
What kind of sin had she committed?
Qinglong's expression was emotionless, yet it sent chills down one's spine. "My master has always been one person, and that is the Emperor! Someone, search the palace! Leave no trace unexamined!"
Xianglian gritted her teeth; she could not believe that her master would poison and frame the Emperor! Although Ling Yaoyue often lacked common sense and was nowhere near as clever as her sister Ling Wanyue.
But how could someone who loved the Emperor so much possibly betray him?
Seeing this situation, Xianglian immediately stepped forward to intervene. She formed a fist and struck directly at Qinglong. She and Ling Wanyue's personal maid, Lucky, had been adopted by Ling Cheng since childhood and had trained in martial arts, becoming highly skilled.
Having followed the two sisters faithfully as they grew up, Xianglian could no longer hold back when she saw her master being wronged.
Qinglong raised an eyebrow and swiftly dodged her attack. He coldly smiled, "The Empress's maid is surprisingly skilled; it seems the Ling family’s treasonous intentions are already evident!"
"Stop talking nonsense! If you want to search the palace, you’ll have to get past me first!" Xianglian showed no fear and charged at him again.
The two quickly engaged in a fierce struggle. As Qinglong parried her strikes, he commanded the Imperial Guards following him, "Why aren’t you searching yet?"
Upon receiving the order, the others rushed into the inner chamber of the Shouxiu Palace.
Seeing this, Xianglian gritted her teeth and tried to block their path but was restrained by Qinglong. She glared at the handsome man before her and became even more aggressive. The two exchanged blows, their martial skills surprisingly evenly matched.
