A head slowly emerged from under the table, and Hua Nongying looked at the pair of departing figures, a wave of bitterness surged in her heart.
Although she had guessed that coming to Dayue would likely lead to an encounter with him, she didn't expect it to happen so soon!
"Aunt Hua, why are you hiding when you see that handsome brother?" Amin thought the adults were really strange; his mother inexplicably changed her expression, but he still liked her.
And Aunt Hua was inexplicably hiding from a handsome brother.
This world was very confusing to him!
"Children, don't ask so many questions!" Hua Nongying said irritably. Just as they were talking, a tall figure suddenly stood behind them. "Hua Nongying, what is going on?"
Amin turned around and immediately ran over joyfully. "Daddy!"
Hua Nongying looked at Wen Shaojun across from her, and her tense heart finally relaxed a little!
Zhaoyang Palace.
In the morning light, Tian Feiyao looked at the woman sleeping beside him, feeling a mix of emotions like a jar of mixed flavors had been overturned. He reached out his finger and gently stroked the peach blossom on Jie Yu's forehead.
Now that it was bright outside, he could vaguely see that the peach blossom was still slightly swollen.
His heart sank; this woman must have been pricked with needles.
Could it really be because he spoiled Meng'er too much, leading everyone to know about it? So, Hong Fei had to go through so much trouble to become just like her?
But it was undeniable that this method was indeed quite effective.
If Consort Hong did not speak and simply sat there quietly, sleeping, one would surely mistake her for Yun'er. Thinking of this, Tian Feiyao couldn't help but show a gentle smile.
Jie Yu, who was sleeping beside her, slightly turned over, turning her back to Tian Feiyao.
In fact, she had already woken up.
It seemed that the method the young master had given her was indeed very useful. Originally, she was unwilling to do this, as it meant she would completely become someone else's substitute.
But now that she thought about it, it didn't really matter.
After all, Gu Yunniang was already dead.
In this world, only she was unique.
One day, she would replace Gu Yunniang in the emperor's heart!
After listening to Hua Nongying recount everything that had happened, Wen Shaojun's expression turned extremely grim.
It felt as if a heavy stone was blocking his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
Lele, Consort Yun?
These words echoed continuously in his mind. So, the person who occupied Lele's heart was none other than the current emperor!
Thinking of how she had endured so much suffering and hardship just to return to Dayue, he finally understood why.
It turned out that even now, she had not given up.
She just wanted to return to that man's side and see how he would treat another woman who looked exactly like her!
Then it can only be explained.
In fact, she still loves him!
Hua Nongying noticed something was off with him and asked with concern, "Brother-in-law, don't worry. Even though Lele has offended quite a few people in Dayue, she has turned over a new leaf now. No one should recognize her! Let's think about how we can find her first!"
Upon hearing her words, Wen Shaojun slowly came back to his senses. A hint of color returned to his pale face as he nodded, "I will send people to search everywhere. She went missing on the ship, and this matter likely involves an insider! Have you noticed if any of the people you hired are missing?"
His words immediately reminded Hua Nongying. In the past few days, she had been so focused on finding Ma Lele that she had overlooked this detail.
"I'll check right away!" She said this and then dashed off like a gust of wind.
Wen Shaojun stood in place, frowning slightly. Lele, oh Lele, where exactly are you now?
That night, while sleeping in the residence of the Third Prince, Ma Lele kept having nightmares.
In her dreams, Tian Feiyao stood there, smiling gently at her.
But soon after, he took out a knife and plunged it fiercely into his own abdomen.
At that moment, he resembled a terrifying Asura from hell...
The pain jolted her awake. Ma Lele suddenly sat up in bed, still shaken from the dream. By now, it was bright outside; sunlight streamed through the window bars into the room. Ma Lele sat on the bed, still reeling from the shock of the dream.
Her forehead was already beaded with fine sweat.
In her panic, she heard voices talking outside the door.
"Did you hear? It turns out that Demonic Consort Yunzi is not dead at all; she has returned! The Emperor gave her a new identity called Jieyu! Now she has been conferred as Hongfei! Tsk tsk, you have no idea; they are practically showering her with affection!"
Hearing this, Ma Lele immediately got up from the bed and ran to the window, listening intently to the conversation outside the door.
"So what? You still don't know, do you? This matter has ultimately been discovered. I heard that the Empress Dowager led the officials to request an edict for the Emperor to kill that woman!" Another voice said mysteriously.
"What happened in the end?"
"Of course, the Emperor refused! I think he must have been bewitched by that Freak. He actually wants to die with that woman; the two of them plan to commit suicide together! This has caused quite a stir; otherwise, how could the Prince have entered the palace so early? It seems that the ministers are discussing who will take the position of Emperor!"
"Do you think our Prince has a chance?"
The conversation continued, but Ma Lele couldn't hear a word of it.
Her mind was consumed by one thought: Tian Feiyao was going to die! She was going to commit suicide with a woman who looked exactly like her!
Could this mean that he really loved her?
With this thought in mind, she no longer cared about anything else. Without even putting on her shoes and only wearing a thin nightgown, she rushed out.
The people of the Three Prince's Mansion looked at this crazed woman in shock; her hair was disheveled, her clothes were in disarray, and she was running barefoot through the estate!
However, after running for a long time, she still couldn't find the main gate!
In her an Eunuch ty, she randomly grabbed a maid passing by and hoarsely asked, "Where's the main gate? I need to get out!"
The maid was startled and stammered for a long time before saying, "I... I'll take you there!"
Ma Lele followed her and successfully exited the estate.
She ran wildly down the street, ignoring the strange looks from passersby, heading straight for the Palace Gate! At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: to stop all of this! This must be a conspiracy; that woman who looked just like her had always raised suspicions.
It now seems that someone has set their sights on the emperor's throne.
A trap deliberately laid.
Ma Lele ran while crying uncontrollably, "Heaven help me, Heaven help me! Weren't you supposed to be so smart? But now, why are you so foolish?"
To give up the Dynasty for a woman? To die for a woman?
How am I supposed to think of someone who hates you so much?
The people and scenery along the road slowly became blurred; in her eyes, heart, and mind, there was only one outline growing clearer and clearer.
That was the face she had dreamed of countless times in her midnight reveries.
But now, it was very likely that person would completely disappear from this world.
At this moment, she didn't even know what she was feeling. Last night, she had dreamt of that man's wickedness, but today, she learned he had done this! She could no longer sit still; in fact, the reason she hated him so much was also because she loved him!
They were both people who had died once before.
She had thought he should hate himself too.
But why did he still choose to do this?
