Ma Lele stood silently to the side.
Initially, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it.
After all, to tell the man she loved: "Hey, I'm getting married, and the groom isn't you. But I want to invite you to my wedding and watch me get married!"
This situation was indeed awkward.
Fortunately, she was mute, and thankfully, Wen Shaojun was quietly giving her strength from beside her.
Thinking of this, Ma Lele's expression remained as calm as still water, without a hint of fluctuation.
Of course, she couldn't deny that looking at that man still caused her heartache.
Tian Feiyao's gaze collided with Ma Lele's in the air; a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his deep eyes. It seemed like something! But in the next second, Ma Lele subtly turned her head away, avoiding his gaze!
"Ma Lele, may I call you that?" Tian Feiyao suddenly stopped her, a charming smile spreading across his lips. His face was as handsome as if carved from stone, but his eagle-like eyes radiated a chilling coldness.
Someone shivered all over and glanced at Wen Shaojun, who was secretly signaling her from the side, instantly gaining courage.
She raised her head and looked up at the man above her, nodding slightly.
"No matter why you became a Maid in the palace before, Hong Fei and you were at least master and servant for a time! When the time comes, I will bring her to your wedding; it won't be unwelcome, right?" Tian Feiyao's gaze lingered on the woman as he spoke softly.
Ma Lele felt a chill in her heart; how had Tian Feiyao become so strange now?
"Bringing Hong Fei here? Well, that just means I have to endure them flaunting their happiness in front of me!"
"It's fine, I can handle it!"
She kept encouraging herself in her heart and then smiled and nodded.
"Your Majesty, you flatter us. It is our honor to have you and Hong Fei here!" Wen Shaojun interjected at this moment, feeling a bit worried about Lele's brief hesitation earlier.
"Then it's settled, you may leave!" Tian Feiyao nodded in satisfaction, casting a glance at Ma Lele's slightly rounded belly before dismissing them.
With a heavy heart, Ma Lele left the hall with Wen Shaojun. For some reason, she felt that Tian Feiyao had changed a bit!
But she couldn't quite pinpoint what exactly was different.
Forget it, no need to think about it.
She and that person were already unrelated!
Ma Lele shook her head vigorously, trying to drive the shadow of that person from her mind.
"Lele, what's wrong?" Wen Shaojun noticed something was off with her after she met Tian Feiyao, and he couldn't help but ask with concern. In truth, he had always known that this woman still loved that man in her heart.
All he wanted was just one opportunity, an opportunity for her to fall in love with him!
Ma Lele looked at him in shock but saw a hint of sadness in Wen Shaojun's eyes that he hadn't managed to hide. Her heart sank; this man truly cared for her and considered everything for her. She should be content!
As for Tian Feiyao, he was doing just fine.
What did it have to do with her?
Thinking of this, she curled her lips into a self-deprecating smile, then reached out and gently linked her arm with Wen Shaojun's, using this small gesture to express her feelings!
Wen Shaojun finally revealed a smile.
The mansion was already bustling with activity because there were many preparations needed for the weddings happening on the same day.
Wen Shaojun was from Hua Nongying's family, while Luo Qingyun was from Ma Lele's family!
Ma Lele felt a bit confused herself, but seeing everyone so happy made her feel happy too.
Suddenly, she remembered the feeling from today, so while Wen Shaojun and Hua Nongying were busy, she got up and headed to Luo Qingyun's pharmacy!
Just as she reached the door, an unpleasant smell rushed in!
Ma Lele frowned; upon smelling it, her stomach immediately churned, and she quickly leaned against the railing, throwing up violently.
Luo Qingyun, hearing the commotion from inside the room, came out and was taken aback. "Are you okay?"
After throwing up, Ma Lele weakly propped herself up and shook her head.
"This is a new medicine I just added. I didn't expect you to react so strongly! It seems it won't work!" Luo Qingyun felt relieved that she was okay but became increasingly troubled thinking about the antidote.
Ma Lele quickly waved her hand at him, indicating that she was not in a hurry.
Seeing her like this, Luo Qingyun felt even more sorrowful, saddened by his inability to help her.
The two entered the room, and he asked lightly, "Is there something you need?"
After thinking for a while, Ma Lele picked up her pen and wrote: You should go back to the palace and check on your Senior Brother!
Since the last incident, Luo Qingyun had not returned to the Imperial Palace, and Tian Feiyao had not sent anyone to look for him! As their relationship grew increasingly strained, this was something Ma Lele did not want to see.
Because she knew that both of them genuinely cared for each other.
Sure enough, Luo Qingyun immediately changed his expression. "What happened to Senior Brother?"
Recently, Dayue had suddenly become anxious. Why was that?
Because the great king had neglected state affairs for many days, spending every day indulging in pleasure at the Zhaoyang Palace!
The women residing in the Zhaoyang Palace had seemingly become a second Gu Yuniang.
No, she was even more than Gu Yuniang.
It should be noted that the emperor could ignore state affairs entirely, completely immersed in her beauty!
Overnight, the once-great and wise Tian Feiyao had turned into yet another tyrant in history!
At the time of his request to meet, Luo Qingyun was at Zhaoyang Palace, accompanying Jie Yu to enjoy the singing and dancing.
This time, Luo Qingyun patiently waited for the gatekeeper to report before he entered.
To his surprise, he really saw such a state of Senior Brother.
With drunken eyes, surrounded by a large group of beauties, drinking and singing, it seemed he couldn't even find the directions of east, south, west, and north. What a pitiful sight!
Seeing him arrive, Tian Feiyao quickly said, "Come on, Luo Qingyun, drink with me! I grant you twenty beauties! Let's have some fun together!" On his face, there was already a sign of weakness from long-term indulgence in wine and pleasure, making Luo Qingyun's heart tremble with fear!
He was also very disappointed; he never expected that Senior Brother would become like this one day!
Thinking of this, he simply said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I came today to invite you to my wedding!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Feiyao immediately pushed away a beauty clinging to him and looked at Luo Qingyun in surprise. "You're getting married too? Which girl is it?" How did everyone decide to get married overnight?
"It's Wen Shaojun's sister! The date is set for the same day as Wen Shaojun's!"
After hearing this, a glint flashed in Tian Feiyao's eyes. He snorted coldly and said, "So you're related to Wen Shaojun now?"
Luo Qingyun nodded, already understanding Tian Feiyao's meaning. He secretly clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this is my last time coming to the palace. I will never reveal anything I know from before! From now on, I just want to be an ordinary man. So there's no need for you to worry about what you're afraid of! I will never betray you!"
