Hua Nongying easily brought Luo Qingyun inside.
After the two entered the hall, they found Wen Shaojun preparing to leave. From his appearance, it seemed he hadn't slept all night.
He frowned and glanced at Luo Qingyun, who was following Hua Nongying, and asked displeased, "Why are you with this person?"
Wen Shaojun had no good impression of Luo Qingyun at all.
There was no way around it; after all, he and Tian Feiyao were so close that they might as well be wearing the same pair of pants!
Hearing this, Hua Nongying felt a bit awkward, while Luo Qingyun quickly spoke up, "I actually came today to inform you of something important!"
"Sorry, but I don't have time today!" Just thinking about finally seeing Lele made him anxious. He hadn't slept all night for this moment, and now this person was saying he had something important to discuss; he really wasn't interested!
"Is there really no time even for Ma Lele?" Luo Qingyun looked at the man in front of him, a mocking smile curling at the corners of his lips.
He was very curious whether this man was in love with the beautiful Xiao Yun'er or the now ordinary Xiao Yun'er.
This time could serve as a test to see if this man truly cared for Xiao Yun'er.
Before coming here, he had already prepared for the worst.
If Wen Shaojun refused to help, then he would use his own methods to rescue Xiao Yun'er!
"What happened to Lele?" As expected, upon hearing that name, Wen Shaojun's expression changed immediately, filled with an Eunuch ty.
"She is currently locked in the Heavenly Prison of Dali Temple, sentenced for attempting to harm San Wangye and stealing items from the palace!" Luo Qingyun glanced at him coolly as he spoke.
"How did she end up in the palace?"
Now both Hua Nongying and Wen Shaojun were somewhat confused!
Quickly, Wen Shaojun seemed to understand a little more!
Sky Pillar.
Tian Feiyao looked at the mountain of memorials and suddenly a face appeared in her mind.
"A-Yao... A-Yao..."
Her calls seemed to echo in her ears.
Thinking of this, a gentle smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
"Your Majesty, Grand Chancellor Wen requests an audience!"
At that moment, Xu Xun stepped forward to report.
Tian Feiyao raised her head, the smile vanished completely, and her gaze became sharp as a blade. Coldly, she said, "Let him in!" It seemed that Wen Shaojun was a bit later than she had anticipated!
Originally, with Luo Qingyun's efficiency, she thought Wen Shaojun would enter the palace early in the morning.
But now, the sun was already setting!
It turned out that even a fiancée was just like this!
Thinking of this, a bloodthirsty light flashed in her eyes, making it hard for others to look directly at her.
"Wen respectfully greets Your Majesty!" Wen Shaojun looked at the man sitting high above and knelt on one knee, speaking with utmost respect.
"I have long said that Chancellor Wen need not be overly formal; rise!" Although he spoke with a smile, there was not a hint of peace in his tone.
Wen Shaojun gritted his teeth and stood up. "I have come today to request a person from Your Majesty!"
Thinking of the suffering Lele might endure in prison made his heart ache like a knife.
That foolish woman, so foolish that he wanted to protect her for a lifetime, ensuring she would never suffer even the slightest bit again!
"Your fiancée Ma Lele?" Tian Feiyao raised an eyebrow, this man was quite straightforward.
In the past, he had crossed paths with him; skilled in martial arts, he must be someone who kept his true abilities hidden.
Moreover, with such handsome looks, he was indeed a good candidate for a lifelong commitment.
With this thought, Tian Feiyao smiled even more charmingly, his deep eyes shining like diamonds, noble and handsome like a deity!
"Yes, I know she has made a grave mistake this time, but I dare to ask the Emperor to spare her!" Facing the formidable presence of Tian Feiyao, Wen Shaojun did not back down at all. He showed none of his usual gentle and refined demeanor; instead, he exuded an undeniable aura of dominance!
"A prince's crime is equal to that of a commoner. Does Wen Chancellor not understand this principle?" Tian Feiyao snorted coldly, his words laced with sarcasm.
His meaning was clear: who do you think you are, Wen Shaojun? On what grounds do you think you can demand her release?
Wen Shaojun seemed to have anticipated this response. He smiled slightly, his brows revealing an uncontainable elegance. "What if I were to offer five cities to Dayue in exchange for my fiancée's life? Would the Emperor agree?"
At these words, Xu Xun was completely stunned.
Goodness, by this calculation, the life of this girl named Ma Lele was worth a fortune!
Tian Feiyao was also somewhat taken aback, but as an emperor, he was skilled at concealing his emotions. His deep-set eyes held a hint of mockery. "Since when did the Chancellor have such great authority? How come I was unaware of this?"
Wen Shaojun shook his head and suddenly produced an Imperial Edict, stepping forward to hand it over to Xu Xun.
Xu Xun quickly and respectfully passed it to Tian Feiyao.
Tian Feiyao gazed deeply at the man below before opening the Imperial Edict.
Moments later, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
At this time, the incense burner in the great hall was emitting wisps of blue smoke. Amidst the swirling mist, Tian Feiyao stared blankly for a long while before coldly saying, "Since Wen Chancellor's determination to save his wife is so resolute, then I cannot disregard your good intentions! However, I truly did not expect that Wen Chancellor would treat a... woman of mediocre beauty in such a manner. This shocks me greatly!"
"If one loves someone deeply, it does not matter whether she is beautiful or ugly. Moreover, for the person one loves, even if it means giving everything, what is there to hesitate? Your Majesty, what do you think?" Wen Shaojun's words did not seem to raise any reactions from the others.
Yet in Tian Feiyao's ears, they carried a different flavor!
Tian Feiyao's expression instantly darkened, his gaze sharp as ice. He quietly looked at the man below, their eyes clashing in the air, sparking intense confrontation!
Xu Xun beside them also vaguely sensed something was off. Why did it feel like there was an unspoken tension between the Emperor and this Wen Chancellor?
After a long pause, Tian Feiyao finally coldly smiled and said, "I have heard that Wen Chancellor possesses unparalleled martial arts. Let’s find a time to spar!"
The others in the great hall immediately gasped in shock. Sparring with the Emperor? Wasn't that courting death?
Who didn't know that Tian Feiyao was a renowned war god, highly skilled in martial arts and the most favored disciple of the reclusive master Divine Mechanic Elder?
But unexpectedly, Wen Shaojun showed no fear and merely smiled slightly. "I am always ready to accompany you!"
Since their last battle had not concluded, then let’s find a time to finish it!
The matter regarding Ma Lele ultimately came to a calm conclusion.
