"Bang..." With a loud thud, Luo Qingyun slammed his fist against the cell door.
In fact, leaving this place was as easy as pie.
But if they really escaped, their crimes would only multiply, fulfilling Tian Fei Nuo's wishes even more.
At that moment, a Guard grumbled as he approached and opened the cell for them.
"The Emperor summons you to Sky Pillar!"
Just those few words instantly energized the two men.
Sky Pillar.
Tian Feiyao sat high above, casting a cold glance at the two men below. He shouted angrily, "Do you know what crimes you have committed?" His eyes were glazed over, with dark circles beneath them, showing clear signs of excessive drinking.
Luo Qingyun felt a mix of urgency and pain seeing his once-respected Senior Brother in such a state.
He didn't even notice what was being asked.
Wen Shaojun, however, remained unfazed and asked in a deep voice, "Please speak plainly, Your Majesty!"
"Enough, Wen Shaojun, Luo Qingyun! Even now you still pretend to be confused with me. Murder requires retribution; you have killed the steward of San Wangye Mansion, yet you still act as if you are above it all!" Tian Feiyao said in one breath. Then he looked at the night clothes on the two men and sneered even more, "Wearing night clothes like this—are you planning to kill San Wangye too?"
Luo Qingyun trembled all over. "Senior Brother, we did not kill that steward at all. This must be a frame-up!"
Wen Shaojun remained silent beside him; he knew that this time, they were definitely prepared.
He had always sensed an inexplicable hostility from Tian Feiyao towards him. Perhaps it was because of Lele.
If he were to find out that Lele was the favored consort he once cherished, he might even wish for his own demise. In that case, it would be better to see what exactly he intended to do.
"Luo Qingyun, how dare you argue! I have trusted you so much, and now you dare to deceive me! Perhaps there are many things you have been lying about!" Tian Feiyao glared with wide eyes, disappointment etched on his stern face.
It seemed as though there was a hidden meaning in his words, and at that moment, Luo Qingyun found himself at a loss for how to respond!
He sighed inwardly: Senior Brother, oh Senior Brother, I only deceived you regarding Xiao Yun'er. But now, how have you changed so much?
Thus, he simply gazed quietly at Tian Feiyao above him.
"Bring the body of the steward from San Wangye Mansion here!" Tian Feiyao ordered coldly.
Moments later, Tian Fei Nuo arrived at the Sky Pillar with a Eunuch carrying the body of his steward.
His face was still covered in various red bumps that made one want to laugh, yet his expression was unusually serious as he looked at Wen Shaojun and Luo Qingyun with eyes full of hatred!
"You see this? This is a life..." As Tian Feiyao spoke, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly waved for Xu Xun and urgently called out, "Hurry, call Hong Fei!"
At that moment, he looked extremely strange.
He gasped for breath, his expression filled with pain, a stark contrast to his earlier calm demeanor.
Luo Qingyun felt a twist in his heart; why did Senior Brother look as if he were under the influence of some drug?
Not long after receiving the summons, Hong Fei rushed over from Zhaoyang Palace. Upon arrival, she completely ignored everyone else in the hall and walked straight to the dragon throne, pulling out a small exquisite incense burner and placing it near Tian Feiyao's nose.
Tian Feiyao snatched the incense burner away and eagerly inhaled the fragrant smoke swirling within. After a moment, he finally revealed a look of great satisfaction.
Seeing him happy, Jie Yu couldn't help but smile as well.
Luo Qingyun immediately became angry, pointing at Jie Yu's nose and shouting, "What kind of drug did you give Senior Brother?" It was clear to anyone, even if they weren't a doctor, that the fragrance Tian Feiyao was smelling was unusual.
Luo Qingyun couldn't understand why the exceptionally intelligent Senior Brother would fall for this woman.
Was it just because she had the same face as the former Xiao Yun'er? That shouldn't have made him so confused!
After hearing Luo Qingyun's words, Jie Yu's expression slightly changed. "Mr. Luo, you can't just say whatever you want! In this world, the emperor is the highest authority. Whatever he says, we concubines and ministers must obey! But if the emperor doesn't want to do something, can anyone force him?"
"The beloved consort is right. I have been feeling unwell lately and asked my beloved consort to prepare these fragrances to help me feel more energized! Azure Sky, don't think that just because you said a few words of concern for me, I will go easy on you! A prince's crimes are no different from those of the common people; I believe you understand this principle!" After inhaling the fragrance, Tian Feiyao immediately looked much more spirited. His gaze subtly shifted over Luo Qingyun, each word cutting like a knife into her!
He smiled bitterly and stepped back repeatedly.
He never expected that in Senior Brother's eyes, he had become so disgraceful!
Wen Shaojun had been watching coldly from the beginning, completely like an outsider. Even when Tian Feiyao finally ordered both of them to be sentenced to death later on, he remained silent and cold.
Everything seemed somewhat unbelievable.
Once a favored person in front of the emperor, now reduced to a death row inmate!
And would the foreign prime minister also die in Dayue?
To some people, all of this appeared to be a beautiful scene!
Tian Fei Nuo looked at the woman across from him and smiled with satisfaction. "Jie Yu, not bad! It seems that your royal brother is completely under your control now!" The thought of his royal brother's demeanor in the court today made him even more excited.
Jie Yu shot him a cold glance; if it weren't for having leverage over him, she wouldn't even bother with this man.
"Give me the medicine, I need to go back! The Emperor is still waiting for me!" She snorted coldly, snatching the medicine from Tian Fei Nuo's hand before turning to leave. This powder was extracted from a flower called "poppy," which blooms in the Western Regions.
When a person inhales this scent for an extended period, they become addicted; going a day without it feels as if they might die.
Moreover, this powder has invigorating effects.
So Tian Fei Yao had never noticed.
Jie Yu sometimes thought about it and felt quite sad. Would she have to use this drug to control Tian Fei Yao for her entire life?
But sometimes she would think differently; once Tian Fei Nuo ascended to the throne, she and Tian Fei Yao could retreat to the mountains. After such a long relationship, he would eventually come to truly love her!
Thinking this way, she couldn't help but wish for Tian Fei Nuo to become emperor sooner.
After a day and night of traveling, Hua Nongying finally returned to Great Wisdom.
Standing once again at the entrance of the Red Silk Building, she couldn't help but sigh.
When she left initially, she was full of enthusiasm, but now, she returned alone in desolation.
Lele was gone, and her brother-in-law and Qingyun had been captured again!
