It was all due to her own negligence that Lele had to suffer so much!
The old man with the divine machine?
A glimmer of light flashed in Ma Lele's eyes. Luo Qingyun?
No, no!
It was better for her identity to be known by as few people as possible; it was best not to draw unnecessary attention.
She picked up her pen again and wrote, "I will come out to find you tomorrow. I really have important matters to attend to right now!"
Hua Nongying truly did not understand what important matters she could have. However, seeing her so determined!
Aside from repeatedly reminding her to be careful, she could only nod in agreement.
After Ma Lele left, she immediately sent someone to inform Wen Shaojun!
At this moment, night was falling, and the palace gates were about to close.
Ma Lele almost ran all the way to the palace gate. She simply took out her token, and the Imperial Guards let her pass.
But for some reason, she felt as if the leader had been watching her closely!
At this moment, she couldn't afford to think too much; she just wanted to hurry to Consort Hong's Zhaoyang Palace.
Just as she left, a figure in white arrived at the palace gate.
The Imperial Guards immediately showed great respect and let him through.
Luo Qingyun frowned tightly. Where exactly was Ma Lele now? Why had he sent so many people out but received no news at all? This was truly strange!
At that moment, a gust of wind blew by, and he was so lost in thought that he didn't notice the portrait in his hand being blown away.
The Imperial Guard Captain hurriedly ran to pick up the portrait, preparing to flatter Luo Qingyun with it, but accidentally caught a glimpse!
As a result, this glance left him stunned!
“It’s her!” His voice immediately caught Luo Qingyun's attention.
He swiftly moved to the leader's side and asked, “You’ve seen her? Where?” His voice was slightly excited; after searching for so long, he finally had a lead.
The leader didn’t expect Luo Qingyun to react so strongly and quickly replied, “She just entered the palace. It seems… she is Consort Hong's Maid!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Qingyun had already vanished.
The leader immediately chuckled to himself.
Others asked what he found so amusing.
He said, “I never expected someone as handsome as Luo Qingyun would be interested in such a person! Isn’t that funny?”
Zhaoyang Palace.
After dismissing everyone, Jie Yu entered Ma Lele's room alone.
Her previously injured leg felt perfectly fine now. She walked into the dark room and, with the faint candlelight from outside, looked at Tian Fei Nuo who had fainted on the floor, her eyes flashing with a sinister light!
This man had always dreamed of controlling her!
Hmph, finally, he has fallen into her hands.
Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips!
“Who would have thought you’d end up like this!” With that remark, Jie Yu turned and prepared to leave.
"You really can't compare to Gu Yuniang!" At that moment, a voice filled with laughter came softly.
Jie Yu was startled and turned around to see Tian Fei Nuo had woken up at some point.
Gu Yuniang?
Jie Yu frowned and coldly said, "Don't compare me to someone who is already dead!" She could compare herself to anyone, but not to Gu Yuniang.
Because every time this name was mentioned, she felt like she was just a third party who had stolen Gu Yuniang's happiness!
"Hahaha..." Tian Fei Nuo laughed heartily, shaking his head in disappointment. "It seems that in this lifetime, you can only be a substitute! A pathetic substitute!"
He emphasized the last few words heavily.
Hearing this, Jie Yu was furious. "Do you believe I will take your life right now?"
"Sure. If you kill me, there are things you will never know for the rest of your life! Perhaps you won't even understand how your happiness will be taken away in the future!" Tian Fei Nuo's voice was seductive in the dark room, his deep eyes shining like stars.
Seeing his cryptic expression made Jie Yu very uncomfortable. "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Do you think you're pitiful? Why have you been under my control for so long without saving your mother? But that woman only arrived a few days ago and can save both you and herself! That's why I say you're not as good as Gu Yuniang! In this lifetime, you can only be a substitute!"
A cold wind blew through the window, and Jie Yu stood there as if she were in an ice cellar.
She trembled all over, looking incredulously at the man slumped on the ground. "What... what do you mean?"
Tian Fei Nuo curled his lips into a mocking smile. "You clearly understood, didn't you? I never killed Gu Yuniang! The mute sent to your side is the woman Tian Feiyao loves most—Consort Yun!"
Jie Yu was completely stunned; she had no idea what was happening to her at that moment.
She felt as if she were drowning; just when she had finally grasped a lifeline, someone suddenly appeared to take it away!
That kind of despair pierced through her heart!
"No... it's impossible! They look... nothing alike!" Jie Yu suddenly recalled Ma Lele's ordinary face, and she immediately shook her head, rejecting Tian Fei Nuo's words.
But her still trembling hands betrayed her fear at that moment!
Yes, if the real one were to return...
Then wouldn't she, the imposter, have to leave?
"How foolish of you, a martial artist, not to know that there are techniques for disguise in this world?" Tian Fei Nuo mocked with a smile, watching Jie Yu's increasingly pale expression, feeling even more pleased with himself.
"No! How could that be possible!" Jie Yu completely broke down. She crouched down and tightly hugged herself, tears streaming down like pearls from a broken string!
Tian Fei Nuo sighed. It seemed that love truly was the most lethal weapon in this world.
He had indeed placed his bets wisely!
He gazed out the window for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "Jie Yu, if you really want to monopolize Tian Feiyao for a lifetime, then you must listen to me!"
Jie Yu looked at the man across from her with tear-filled eyes and shook her head. "I will never trust you!"
"But do you have any other choices right now? Just calculate the time; Gu Yuniang will be back soon! If you don't make a decision quickly, perhaps your fate will change!" Tian Fei Nuo's eyes darkened, his voice laced with an irresistible allure in the night.
Jie Yu trembled as she slowly touched her own cheek.
Is there really no choice left?
Zhaoyang Palace.
After Ma Lele hurriedly arrived, she immediately rushed to Jie Yu's bedroom.
"Has everything been taken care of?"
Ma Lele nodded, then took out paper and pen, writing a few words before handing them to Jie Yu. Now, paper and pen had become her necessities.
It was truly sad to think about.
Just the thought of being able to get the antidote soon made her feel excited.
After being mute for these past few days, she finally understood how uncomfortable that feeling was!
"Alright, I'll find a way to settle my mother another day! Are you tired? Have some water! Look at you, breathing so heavily!" Jie Yu smiled as she handed Ma Lele a cup of water, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Ma Lele smiled a bit shyly; she had been running around all afternoon and was indeed both tired and thirsty.
She took the water and gulped it down.
Watching her actions, Jie Yu's smile became even more charming.
After finishing the water, Ma Lele picked up the pen again and wrote: I’m going to see him now!
Jie Yu nodded, "Go ahead! By the way, my token will be with you. When you leave the palace, you won't need to come find me for it again!"
Ma Lele smiled as she held her hand. Although she had previously harbored doubts about this woman, she later learned that Jie Yu was only in the palace because she had been threatened by Tian Fei Nuo.
