Gu Yuniang looked at him with fear and confusion.
“Yun'er, do you know how much I love you?” He stepped closer to her, suddenly grabbing her wrist and forcefully kissing her again.
This time, his kiss was entirely aggressive and punishing.
Before long, Gu Yuniang caught a whiff of blood; this bastard!
At that moment, she was like an angry lion, biting down hard on his tongue.
She bit down fiercely, and Yun Shuyan's lips quickly became drenched in blood...
The intense pain finally brought him back to his senses. He pushed the woman in front of him away and stared at her blankly, his eyes no longer filled with fear but returning to their usual clarity.
If Gu Yuniang wasn't mistaken, there was also a hint of avoidance in his gaze.
“Yun'er... I... I'm sorry...” Yun Shuyan said painfully, holding his head. After a long while, he managed to utter those words.
“Were you drugged?” Gu Yuniang asked, recalling her experience in this area, and couldn't help but speculate.
Yun Shuyan turned his head away, refusing to look at her.
“Who drugged you?” Gu Yuniang pressed on, determined to get to the bottom of it. After all, Tian Feiyao had always kept Yun Shuyan in the palace under her watchful eye.
In that palace, aside from the mistress, there were only maids; who would do such a thing to Yun Shuyan?
“Yun'er, please don't ask! Because... I don't know either.” Yun Shuyan regained his usual demeanor, a strange flush appearing on his pale face.
Gu Yuniang wanted to say something more, but seeing Yun Shuyan's disinterested expression, she decided not to ask further. After all, she was a dying person and had no time or energy to concern herself with others' matters.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
"What are you laughing at?" The two of them were lying on the ground, chatting as if they were old friends.
"By the way, Yun Shuyan, I need you to do me a favor!" Gu Yuniang suddenly remembered her father's matter; there could be no mistakes...
"What kind of favor?"
"I’m entrusting my father and the Empress Dowager to you!"
Yun Shuyan looked at her without revealing his thoughts. A gust of wind blew in through the open window, and he realized he was covered in cold sweat. He turned his head awkwardly, "Entrust them to me?"
Gu Yuniang smiled slightly and laid out her entire plan.
Previously, Hua Fei had given her two pills that simulated death; taking these would make one appear lifeless for seven days, as if truly dead. Gu Yuniang thought that after her death, she would have her father and the Empress Dowager take them. By then, her father and the Empress Dowager would surely be buried. Once everyone calmed down, Yi Er could go dig up the graves.
However, thinking about it now, what if Tian Feiyao was ruthless and left her father and the Empress Dowager's bodies there? That would be disastrous!
"So you hope that when the time comes, I can plead with the Emperor a little to allow the two elders to be buried peacefully?" Yun Shuyan's eyes revealed a strange light as he stared directly at Gu Yuniang.
"Yes, that's right!" Gu Yuniang believed her plan was flawless. If the daughter died and the father followed suit in his old age, it would make sense no matter where they ended up!
"That's a good idea, but it's already useless!" Yun Shuyan looked at her meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" She was utterly confused.
"Huainan Wangfu is on fire, and everyone, including Guard, has been burned to death!" At this point, Yun Shuyan lowered his head sadly.
It was as if a thunderbolt had struck overhead. Gu Yuniang looked at him in disbelief. She wanted to speak, opened her mouth, but found she didn't know what to say. After a long pause, she finally spoke, her voice horrifically unpleasant, "Who did this?"
"That place has always been guarded by the emperor's people; outsiders can't get in at all..."
"Hahahahahaha..." Gu Yuniang suddenly laughed skyward, her long hair flowing behind her. As she laughed, tears streamed down her pale face, carving rivers of sorrow.
"I only went to see the flames because I saw them from afar. I originally came here to tell you this news. But at that time, I was drugged and ended up doing such things..." Yun Shuyan hurriedly tried to explain, a barely noticeable pain flashing in his eyes.
I'm sorry, Yun'er. I'm truly sorry!
I can only have you if I gain the world!
"Leave!" Gu Yuniang took a deep breath. A smile curled at the corners of her lips, yet she looked like a peach blossom on the verge of wilting—so tragic...
Yun Shuyan gazed deeply at her and ultimately left quietly.
He reached out and gently touched a pouch on him, his eyes filled with indifference and murderous intent!
Not long ago, the scene at Huainan Wangfu echoed repeatedly in his mind. In the darkness, it felt as if an invisible hand was reaching out for his life at any moment!
Yun Shuyan painfully closed his eyes and recalled that moment.
When Gu Changwei and Ma Jinlian saw the suddenly appearing Yun Shuyan, they were furious. "You actually eavesdropped on us?"
Yi Er, standing aside, didn't dare to interrupt and simply listened quietly.
Yun Shuyan glanced at the package in her hand, a mocking smile curling at the corners of her lips. "Empress Dowager, Prince! I can't believe I trusted you both so much! It turns out, I am the biggest fool in the world, played like a puppet by you!"
"Yan'er, we never lied to you before; we just couldn't fully trust you yet! You heard it just now; we are doomed. All we can leave for Yun'er is some assurance!" Ma Jinlian sighed softly. This child had grown up under her watch!
She couldn't bring herself to blame him!
"Hahaha..." Yun Shuyan looked at the two before her, a chilling smile on her face. "I want that thing!"
"Impossible!" Gu Changwei and Ma Jinlian exclaimed almost in unison.
"Then... you might as well die!"
A gust of wind swept through; although it was summer, Yun Shuyan felt a chill run down her spine. She kept reassuring herself that this matter would never reach Yun'er.
Because everyone there had been killed by her, and all traces had been burned away.
There could be no evidence left!
"Yun'er... Yun'er..." Tian Feiyao called her name as soon as he entered the Imperial Heart Palace.
However, he felt something was very wrong. The surroundings were shrouded in darkness; not a single candle was lit in the vast palace.
A chill ran through his heart. Did she do something foolish after learning about Huainan Wangfu?
Thinking of how upset Yun'er would be upon finding out made him rush over. No matter how much he hated her for deceiving him, he couldn't deny his true feelings deep inside.
He still loved her and wanted her.
As an emperor, he treated a woman in such an unworthy manner.
Thinking of this, he felt even more worried.
At that moment, a delicate and fragile little hand suddenly reached out in the darkness and gently touched his face. He felt a surge of joy and turned around to see "Yun'er, I..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a flash of cold light suddenly appeared, and the sharp sound of a weapon slicing through flesh echoed in the silent hall.
Tian Feiyao looked at the woman before him in disbelief, only to see her expressionless, with disheveled hair, like a vengeful spirit crawling out of hell.
And blood was gushing from his chest.
The crimson blood slowly dripped from the gleaming blade onto the ground, creating a haunting scene.
Gu Yuniang merely stared at him with no expression, pulling the knife out and stabbing it back in, pulling it out again and stabbing it in once more. Again and again, as if it were an endless game.
Yet Tian Feiyao stood there in a daze, at a loss for what to do.
In the end, he became numb to the pain.
In fact, he had wanted to say, "Yun'er, I am so afraid of losing you!"
Azure Dragon paced anxiously at the entrance of Imperial Heart Palace. After waiting for several hours without seeing the Lord come out, he gritted his teeth and rushed inside.
