At lunchtime, sunlight streamed through the intricately carved windows, casting a warm glow inside. The maids, as usual, moved quietly, setting exquisite dishes across the entire table. Yun Qingyu slightly raised her hand, signaling for the maids to step back.
Once they had left, she summoned Xin Yao to come forward.
As Xin Yao entered the room, Yun Qingyu pointed to the seat opposite her and said, "Sit down."
Xin Yao froze in place, disbelief filling his eyes as if his feet were nailed to the ground, unable to move.
Seeing his awkwardness, Yun Qingyu's tone softened. "I don't wish to pry into what the Shadow Guards used to eat, but from today onward, you will dine with me."
Upon hearing this, Xin Yao trembled slightly as he reached out to pick up the bowl and chopsticks. The steaming rice emitted an enticing aroma that lingered at his nose.
He had never experienced such a feeling before; a sense of surrealism washed over him. After all, in the past years, he had never eaten such warm and normal meals—cold and hard food had been his daily fare.
Yun Qingyu quietly listened to Xin Yao's unspoken thoughts, a wave of pity rising within her.
She mused to herself how unfortunate it was for Xin Yao to encounter a master like the original owner.
He was such a pure-hearted individual, exhibiting absolute obedience and loyalty to his master. Well-trained and undoubtedly the most capable Shadow Guard, he was now her most trusted ally. The original owner had truly been blind not to cherish him.
This was Xin Yao's second year by Yun Qingyu's side; the injuries he had sustained were not too severe, and there was still hope for recovery with proper care.
Looking at Xin Yao, Yun Qingyu gently said, "Xin Yao, from now on, avoid eating cold food; it's not good for your health."
The next day, the residence of the Consort was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.
A woman rushed in, her expression frantic as she forcefully pushed open the door.
This woman was the Six Princess of Western Qi. Upon seeing Lu Mingzhan lying on the bed, barely alive, her heart ached, causing her to tremble all over. Anger and pity filled her eyes, and tears welled up as she gritted her teeth and said, "Has Yun Qingyu lost her mind? How could she treat you like this?"
Just as she anxiously turned to summon the Imperial Physician, a familiar figure entered with steady steps.
Yun Qingyu's gaze was as cold as frost, piercing like a blade toward the Six Princess. With a mocking tone, she said, "Sister, you seem quite concerned for my Consort. As an unmarried young lady, how can you so brazenly come and go from my Princess Manor as if it were your own home? Entering my Consort's room without any hesitation—are you planning to have a secret affair with him?"
The sudden accusation left the Six Princess pale with fright. She quickly grasped Yun Qingyu's hand tightly, a flicker of panic and guilt crossing her eyes, but she hurriedly replied, "Sister, you've misunderstood. I'm here for your sake. Look at how things are between you and the Consort; I just want to mediate and hope you can reconcile."
Yet inside, she was thinking fiercely, "What has happened to this fool? Why is she suddenly acting like a different person? She would never speak to me like this before; it's truly troublesome."
Yun Qingyu saw through the Six Princess's expression and inner thoughts. Her face turned icy with anger and disdain as she abruptly pulled her hand away from the Six Princess's grip and coldly remarked, "So what you're implying is that I'm foolish? Hmph, I used to be foolish, manipulated by people like you. But now I see everything clearly. Since you and the Consort are so openly close, I will support your deep bond. From this day forth, I will announce before everyone that I am divorcing Consort Lu Mingzhan."
With that, she turned on her heel and left without looking back, leaving the Six Princess standing there in shock and confusion.
