During the Wenchuan Earthquake, she was not unaware of the tragic situation when she watched the news. If she were truly to die, at this moment, she only wished to die together with Tian Fei.
However, by the time she ran to the Imperial Hall, the earthquake had stopped.
Her tense heart relaxed a bit as she hesitated at the doorway, afraid to enter. Perhaps she feared that the man inside would not allow her in.
Just as she was hesitating, a palace maid rushed over to announce, "Everyone hurry to the Imperial Garden! A Freak has appeared! The tremors just now were caused by that Freak's magic..."
Hearing their ridiculous chatter, Gu Yuniang curled her lips in disdain. She was not interested in this and was about to leave when she heard someone say, "Do you know who that Freak is? It's a maid from Consort Yun's palace..."
Gu Yuniang did not catch the rest of the conversation; her mind buzzed as she immediately rushed toward the Imperial Garden.
In the center of the Imperial Garden, a tall cross had been erected, with a woman dressed in palace attire and her eyes tightly shut bound to it. Surrounding the cross were piles of wooden branches.
It seemed they intended to burn her alive.
The area was crowded with people; after all, in that era, tales of ghosts and gods were only heard in operas. Now that they saw a living version of a Freak, who wouldn't want to take a look?
When Gu Yuniang arrived, this was the scene before her. Upon seeing the pale face of the ugly maid, her heart twisted in anguish. She rushed forward recklessly but was forcefully pushed back by a guard stationed beside the cross.
"Isn't that Consort Yun? My goodness, could it be that she is in cahoots with the Freak? Why are they protecting her like this?" The surrounding palace maids immediately began to whisper among themselves upon witnessing this situation.
"What nonsense! Maybe Consort Yun is actually the Freak! Look at that peach blossom on her forehead! She's so enchanting..."
Listening to their discussions, Gu Yuniang felt a surge of anger and glared fiercely at the group of maids. What kind of place was the palace? How could these people be so despicable!
Seeing her fierce gaze, the group of maids were taken aback and fell silent in fear.
"His Majesty has arrived..." "The Empress Dowager has arrived..." A commotion ensued, and soon the surroundings returned to silence.
The sound of bowing echoed throughout the area as Gu Yuniang gazed at the man, her heart filled with complex emotions.
"What is going on?" Tian Feiyao frowned at everyone, his gaze not lingering on Gu Yuniang at all.
His indifference quickly brought Gu Yuniang back to reality.
With a self-deprecating smile, she thought perhaps he had already known about her feigned amnesia and had given up on her completely.
At that moment, a guard stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, just now during the Fengyun Giant Brush incident, when the earth shook and mountains swayed, my subordinates were patrolling the small grove near the Cold Palace and found this maid lying there, surrounded by snakes. They did not dare to act rashly and only observed from the side. Later, when she woke up, the snakes disappeared! My subordinates took this opportunity to rush forward, knock her unconscious, and bring her back!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
"Absurd! This is utter nonsense! What freak? This is simply a story to fool a three-year-old. Your Majesty, this must be a scheme by someone with ill intentions! Please put the Ugly Girl down first; we can discuss everything once she wakes up! Is that alright?" Listening to the guard's words, Gu Yuniang was furious and reprimanded him. At the end of her outburst, she looked at Tian Feiyao with eyes full of pleading.
It didn't matter how he felt about her.
But the Ugly Girl must not come to any harm!
Otherwise, how could she explain it to Eunuch Rongsheng?
Seeing her like this stirred something in Tian Feiyao's heart. However, when he saw how fiercely she protected this Ugly Girl, his indifference returned.
Indeed, Kisaragi was not wrong; Gu Yuniang truly had an extraordinary relationship with this Ugly Girl.
Otherwise, why would she go to such lengths to protect a mere maid? She hadn't even considered that if this Ugly Girl were truly a freak, it could threaten her own life!
At that moment of upheaval and chaos, he rushed towards the Imperial Heart Palace, driven by the desire to die alongside her, even if it meant his own demise.
But ultimately, she still disappointed him!
Beside them, Ling Wan Yue watched the two with an impassive expression. Today had been disastrous for her; she had lost so many loved ones. Just thinking about it made her wish she could tear Tian Fei Yao to shreds.
The once innocent lamb that was bullied had grown up and transformed into a wolf, biting back fiercely. If anyone could be called a freak, it would surely be Tian Fei Yao.
What poison was this? It was clearly a setup!
Otherwise, why would his deadly poison have been cured after causing so much harm to the Ling family? And yet, the one who poisoned him, Yun Xin, had not even been executed!
The absurdity of it all made her feel ridiculous.
With this in mind, she coldly snorted and said, "Your Majesty, since you are just recovering from a serious illness, you should return to the palace and rest! Leave this matter to me! Whether it's the freak running rampant or evil people in power, I will ensure they are cast into the eighteen layers of hell and never reincarnate!" Her words carried an unmistakable implication.
Looking at Tian Fei Yao, he remained unfazed. "No need for that. This matter concerns the crisis of the Dynasty; I prefer to handle it personally! As for the Empress Dowager, having lost several close relatives today, you should return to the Phoenix Luan Palace and take care of yourself!"
Ling Wan Yue's expression immediately darkened. Tian Fei Yao's words struck a painful chord within her.
After a long pause, she finally composed herself. "Since Your Majesty is aware of the seriousness of this situation, I must clarify what exactly happened as soon as possible." She cast a cold glance at Gu Yun Niang, making her meaning clear.
She feared that the Emperor would show favoritism! After all, it wasn't the first time he had done so for this woman!
Tian Fei Yao merely smiled slightly and fell silent again, his deep eyes flashing with a glimmer of insight that left others guessing what he was truly thinking...
Imperial Heart Palace.
Whipping, splashing water, and needle pricking. As various cruel methods were being used against Chouya, Gu Yunniang could no longer hold back. She rushed forward, tightly protecting Chouya, and cried out, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, please spare her! Don't treat a weak woman like this!"
"A weak woman? If she is a weak woman, then this world must be in chaos!" At that moment, a gentle voice came from behind, and Kisaragi walked in with a faint smile.
She glanced at the fallen Chouya and Gu Yunniang, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes. "This servant pays her respects to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager!"
"Who are you?" Ling Wanyue asked coldly, narrowing her phoenix eyes.
"This servant is a maid from the Imperial Heart Palace. I heard that something unusual happened in our palace and suddenly remembered something, so I came to report to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager!"
"What is it?" Ling Wanyue asked with curiosity. If she remembered correctly, this Kisaragi seemed to be someone from Tian Feiyao.
Tian Feiyao's expression had not improved since she saw Kisaragi. Her knife-like cheekbones were struggling to contain deep-seated anger.
It turned out that this matter was indeed caused by Kisaragi!
He looked at the smiling woman with warning in his eyes.
However, Kisaragi ignored his warning. Taking a deep breath, she slowly said, "On the day Yunxin was imprisoned, the Empress brought Chouya to Heavenly Prison to visit Yunxin. I saw them drop something and followed them. As a result, I witnessed an assassin attack the Empress. Just as I was about to call for help, I saw Chouya take down the assassin in just a few moves, causing him to flee. I was stunned at the time and didn't dare to speak up; I hurried back to the palace. It is well known that Consort Yun treats Chouya well. However, Chouya was brought back from outside the palace by the Empress but possesses excellent martial arts skills and may even be a Freak, endangering all our lives. Your Majesty, how should we explain this?" The last sentence was directed at Gu Yunniang.
Gu Yunniang was stunned into silence for a long time. With tears in her eyes, she looked at the faces before her, disbelief written all over her face. Each of them seemed to be demanding her life.
