Azure Dragon twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Can you not be so disgusting?"
"Disgusting? I only said a few words, and you were still touching your chest. Why didn't you say that was disgusting?" Luo Qingyun glared at him and replied unhappily.
Azure Dragon was speechless; he should have just applied the medicine himself.
"By the way, about Consort Yun, it won't be discovered, right?" The thought of Lord finding out they had deceived him made him feel that they would definitely die in a miserable state.
"It won't. I'm a master of lying. Besides, that place is something Senior Brother would never guess. Although... it's right under his nose." Luo Qingyun felt very proud of his cleverness. In fact, he hoped more than anyone else that Xiao Yun'er and Senior Brother could be together, but how could those two be together now? Would they just kill each other upon meeting?
Moreover, he had his own selfish motives; for the sake of Senior Brother's Dynasty, Xiao Yun'er must "die" once.
In the deep of night, a figure swiftly swept across the rooftop and finally stopped in front of a palace.
This was Hua Fei's Listening to Snow Pavilion.
After Hua Fei left, this place had remained empty. Luo Qingyun secretly hid Gu Yuniang in a hidden chamber here, so for these past few days, Gu Yuniang had been recuperating in the secret room.
Under the candlelight, Gu Yuniang gazed blankly at the ground, her long black hair cascading gently over her shoulders, her pale face devoid of any color. Only the peach blossom on her forehead seemed to bloom even more vibrantly.
Hearing movement behind her, she did not turn around. "Why did you save me, Azure Sky?"
As soon as Luo Qingyun and Azure Dragon arrived, both frowned. "Why must you die? You're still so young; you should live well!"
"Hahaha..." Gu Yuniang laughed as if she had heard an absurd tale. She stood up and stared intently at the two, giving a sorrowful smile. "Let Tian Feiyao tell me how I should live. He has let everyone around me die one by one; now there's only me left. How can I continue living?"
The first one is Eunuch Rongsheng. It was in this room that he saved her, but lost his own life in the process.
The second is Hua Fei. It's truly tragic; both siblings died in each other's arms.
The third is her father, and then the Empress Dowager. The most pitiful of all is Yi Er. She was so young, so kind and innocent, still filled with great enthusiasm for this world.
In the end, she lost her life for nothing.
Thinking of all this, Gu Yuniang's tears flowed down again.
"Senior Brother let everyone around you die one by one? Xiao Yun'er, you must be mistaken!" Upon hearing her words, Luo Qingyun furrowed his brow deeply.
Could there be some misunderstanding in all of this?
Gu Yuniang looked at him wearily and shook her head. "Azure Sky, you don't need to defend him. I know he is your Senior Brother, and naturally, you will stand by his side! No matter how things really are, I just don't want to see him again in this lifetime! You saved me, so you must help me leave this place!"
Her eyes were filled with determination; everything else was just fleeting clouds.
Suddenly, she missed her son immensely and began to doubt whether she had made a mistake back then.
If only she hadn't boarded that time train, she would still be the wife of the president of the Ma Family Zhong Clan. Although there was no love between them, at least they could live a peaceful life together.
But she could never return to Taiwan in 2010.
Her only choice now was to live out this life alone in this cold and unfamiliar world.
Luo Qingyun looked at her helplessly and said, "Alright, I will escort you out of the Imperial Palace! However, you can no longer call yourself Gu Yuniang; Gu Yuniang is dead!"
"I understand. Thank you! Also, please give me my package!" Gu Yuniang suddenly remembered the package that Ugly Girl had left on her before taking her own life. But now, it was nowhere to be found.
"What package?" Luo Qingyun asked, puzzled.
The Azure Dragon, who had been silent for a long time, quickly took out the package from his belongings. "Is this it?"
Gu Yuniang nodded and took it from him.
Then, the room fell into silence.
After everything that had happened, there was no way to return to how things used to be.
Gu Yuniang left the next morning. She dressed as a servant, wearing a hat pulled down over her forehead. Following behind Luo Qingyun, she confidently walked out of the Imperial Palace.
It turned out that leaving a place could be this simple.
Before, it was only because she was reluctant to part with that man.
But now, she felt no trace of reluctance at all.
Luo Qingyun drove the carriage to take her out of the city and then said, "I can't take you any further; otherwise, if I’m gone too long, Senior Brother will become suspicious! Xiao Yun'er, you must take care of yourself. If anything happens, have someone send me a message!"
"As long as I don't use the identity of Gu Yuniang, it will be fine, right?" Gu Yuniang didn't expect that even at this moment, she could still make a joke.
Luo Qingyun wanted to smile, but felt a sense of sadness instead, so he could only nod.
Parting is always sorrowful.
He watched the carriage grow more distant, a pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes flashing with a hint of tenderness. "Xiao Yun'er, safe travels!"
When he returned to the palace, Tian Feiyao had not yet finished court. Since his injury, many matters had piled up, and according to his habit, he would resolve them all at once.
Perhaps he wanted to use busyness to heal his heartache!
Luo Qingyun walked alone in the palace corridor, suddenly feeling an overwhelming sense of desolation. It seemed he needed to find something to do! The first task would be to investigate the death of Xiao Yun'er's father!
He firmly believed that this could not possibly have been done by Senior Brother.
Because he knew best how much Senior Brother cared for Xiao Yun'er.
But that fire came too suddenly; who could have done it?
Gu Yuniang sat in the carriage and traveled to a small town near the capital. To avoid drawing attention, she wore a veil. Now everyone knew that the executed Consort Yun had a peach blossom mark on her forehead.
What should she do about her own mark?
She smiled self-deprecatingly; since arriving in this time and space, she had already "died" twice.
The first time she died was because she wanted to be with that man forever.
The second death was to escape that man, never to meet again.
Indeed, it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to share mutual support.
But had they ever truly supported each other?
A pang of sorrow hit her; she had thought she had cried all her tears, yet as she moved further away from the capital, she found herself crying again.
The driver was hired by Luo Qingyun, and the carriage stopped at an inn in the town. The man respectfully said to Gu Yuniang, "Miss, it's getting dark, and it looks like it might rain soon. Let's stay here for the night!"
"Alright!" Gu Yuniang slowly stepped down from the carriage, feeling indifferent about everything.
They took two upper rooms. Gu Yuniang had no appetite and skipped dinner; she lay down on the bed, preparing to sleep.
Outside, it indeed began to pour heavily. Listening to the sound of the rain pattering, she tossed and turned in bed but could not fall asleep. Feeling both hungry and thirsty, she got out of bed, intending to order something to eat.
When she went downstairs, the waiter was still awake.
However, for some reason, she felt that this inn was somewhat strange. The few waiters who had been gathered together suddenly fell silent upon seeing her.
"What would you like, guest?" one of the waiters approached with a flattering smile.
"Bring me a pot of tea and some food to my room!" Without much thought, she stated her request and then went back upstairs.
