When Emperor Tianwu and the others entered, Consort Yun was sitting on the floor of the ice cellar. In front of her was a plate of grapes and ….. grape skins. Her already pale face appeared even paler in the ice cellar. Consort Yun leisurely put a peeled grape into her mouth. After spitting out the skin and seeds, she finally raised her head to look at Tianwu.
When the two looked at each other, Feng Yu Heng felt as though an electric current had appeared in the air. Sparks flew in all directions, and in an instant, the dimly lit ice cellar was lit up.
After looking at each other for more than twenty years, the first one to recover was Consort Yun. Although she did her best to hide the emotions in her eyes and pretended to not care as she waved her hand and said, "You see, this consort won't be burned to death so easily." However, the gentleness and longing that unintentionally leaked out was still seen by Feng Yu Heng.
She knew that Consort Yun loved Tianwu. However, this kind of love was too domineering. She couldn't bear to share Tianwu's love with so many concubines, whether it was in her heart or in her body. She couldn't do it. Consort Yun's pride didn't allow her to be someone's concubine, even if that person was the Emperor.
Consort Yun patted the grape skins off her hands and sat cross-legged on the floor. She looked up at Tianwu and said, "What's the situation? Are your family's eldest and youngest daughters-in-law going to rebel? This consort hasn't left Winter Moon Palace for more than twenty years. How can your dignity as the Emperor be lowered to this degree? You can't even care if someone deliberately sets fire to Winter Moon Palace? "
Her words were tricky and her attitude wasn't very good. However, her eyes stared fixedly at Tianwu. It wasn't hatred, but rather that she couldn't bear to look away.
"So old." After a while, she said this sentence. Then she said in a muffled voice, "Men can't stand getting old. It's hard to see through them." After she finished speaking, she turned her head away and forced herself not to look at Tianwu. However, she couldn't hide the tear that appeared at the corner of her eye.
Tianwu didn't listen to what Consort Yun was saying. At this moment, he was completely focused on the woman in front of him. He looked greedily at her, as if looking at her was missing something. He wouldn't look away no matter what she said. He took a few steps forward and wanted to help Consort Yun up, he said, "Pianpian, get up. The ground is so cold."
Consort Yun stretched her arm, blocking him, "Don't come over here! I didn't call you here today to reminisce about the past. I just want to ask you personally, are you still in charge of this palace? "
The Emperor was startled. He had heard these words and subconsciously said: "Of course, We have the final say."
"Consort Consort Consort. Con Yun Consort... . "Consort Yun was angry," Consort Yun has been hiding from them and not fighting with them for over twenty years. What, is it still not enough? You still won't let me go? Do you really want to kill me? Xuan Zhan, do you know that if I didn't hide quickly tonight, I would have been burned to death in this palace! "
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She stood up from the ground and dragged Tianwu out by his sleeve. The guards to the side grinned from seeing this. This was imperial concubine Yun, right! In this palace, only Consort Yun and Zhang Yuan dared to do this!
Imperial Concubine Yun dragged her out of the ice house. She then reached out and pointed at the palace that had already been burned down, loudly saying: "Take a look. The place that I managed to build up some feelings for over the years was destroyed by a fire just like that. How is this burning Winter Moon Palace? This is clearly trying to burn me to death! "
At this time, Tianwu finally came to his senses. Xuan Tianming had also mentioned that someone had deliberately set the palace on fire. Now that Consort Yun mentioned it again, he was very sure that there was a great conspiracy behind this fire. He wanted to immediately send people to investigate, but Consort Yun's small hand that was holding onto his sleeve would occasionally touch his arm. Tianwu's heart itched. He had been waiting for this person for over twenty years and he had finally met her. Although the scene of their meeting wasn't very warm and romantic, at least they had met!
He looked at Consort Yun with a smile on his face. No wonder she thought he was old. Compared to Consort Pian, he wasn't old at all. Consort Pian looked like she hadn't been here for over twenty years. She was still so young and beautiful. There weren't even any wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. How did she take care of herself?
He just stared at Consort Yun in a daze. Finally, Consort Yun was annoyed. She didn't care about where they were or who was next to her. She raised her hand and slapped Tianwu's head. This slap made Zhang Yuan grimace. He thought to himself, ancestor, don't hit the emperor until he becomes stupid.
While he was praying that he wouldn't become stupid, Tianwu was already laughing foolishly, "Consort Pian, that was a good slap."
Consort Yun angrily kicked him: "Xuan Zhan! Why do you keep looking at me? Do you think you can find the arsonist just by looking at me? You are the emperor. Can't you do something proper every day? Someone dared to set the palace on fire. How can you act like nothing happened? Don't tell me it was a fire for no reason. This consort doesn't believe it! "
After she finished speaking, she fiercely glared at Tianwu. She let go of his sleeve and then turned around to return to Xuan Tianming's side. She grabbed Xuan Tianming's arm and said: "Let's go. We'll send Mufei out of the palace."
Tianwu was stunned. He shouted: "What did you say? Out of the palace? Where are you going? "
Consort Yun angrily said: "What if I don't leave the palace? Winter Moon Palace has already burned to this state. Do you still want me to live here? "
Tianwu stomped his foot: "Aiya! Winter Moon Palace is gone, but isn't there another place? This palace is so big. We can give you anywhere you like. "
Consort Yun clicked her tongue and deliberately tried to find fault: "Then what if I say I like the empress's palace?"
"Sure!" Tianwu didn't even beat her and directly nodded: "If you like the palace, then you can live there. We'll just move the empress out. Don't mention the palace, even if you like the Heavenly Palace, we'll give it to you. "
"Enough." Consort Yun impatiently waved her hand: "I'm not an evil consort and you're not a self-indulgent ruler. What's the point of doing all those useless things?"
As she spoke, she pulled Xuan Tianming out. Tianwu quickly followed behind them. As he walked, he tried to persuade her: "Pianpian, don't be angry. You mustn't be angry. If you don't like the current palace, we … … I, I'll just build you a new one. As long as you make a request, I'll personally knead the mud and build you a new one. I'm only asking you not to be angry, alright? "
Imperial Concubine Yun still had an angry look as she quickly walked out. Feng Yu Heng whispered from the side: "Mufei, Imperial Father is also quite pitiful."
Consort Yun coldly snorted: "He's pitiful? Now he knows how to be pitiful? In the past, when he lied to me in the stronghold, saying that he had no family and wanted to live happily with me for the rest of his life, why didn't he think that he would also have such a pitiful day? He has a lot of ability to deceive people. What, now he's not willing to bear the consequences? "
Feng Yu Heng lowered her head and didn't say anything. Imperial Father, this daughter-in-law has fulfilled her filial duties. I've said everything that needs to be said. It's really because you didn't live up to expectations when you were young!
"That's why they say that there isn't a single good man!" Consort Yun's face was full of anger, but she also felt that when she said this, the expression of her son, who had been holding onto her the entire time, didn't look too good. A cold aura also appeared around him. She quickly added: "My son is an exception."
Xuan Tianming nodded, "You're quite sensible."
Everyone noisily walked out of the gates of Winter Moon Palace. The people outside were looking in their direction. When they saw Consort Yun appear, Consort Yuanshu was the first to be shocked.
The Empress coldly looked at her and an angry snort came out without any concealment. The other members of the imperial harem also managed to react. It turned out that Imperial Concubine Yun really was in the palace and had not left at all. Then who was it that had been telling them that "Imperial Concubine Yun had escaped the palace"?
Unconsciously, everyone's eyes turned towards Consort Yuanshu. Consort Yuanshu also knew that it would be hard for her to escape this time. She didn't say anything else and directly knelt in front of the Empress, saying: "Empress, this concubine was only guessing. I didn't mean to frame Consort Yun. What I said before was indeed a bit hurried, but this concubine wasn't the only one with this guess! Moreover, this concubine didn't say anything excessive. Instead, it was my sisters' cries that were even more heart-wrenching. Empress, this concubine knows her wrongs this time. I hope that Empress can protect this concubine once for the sake of the Eighth Prince. This concubine is willing to sacrifice her life to serve Empress. "
The Empress looked at Consort Yuanshu and her brows furrowed together. She didn't want to help Consort Yuanshu, but Consort Yuanshu was right. She wasn't the only concubine that was causing a ruckus. If it was just Consort Yuanshu, no one would dare to say anything. But when the Eighth Prince returned to court in the future, she would have to give him an explanation.
She sighed in her heart and said: "Forget it. Get up. This concubine will talk to His Majesty. But whether it succeeds or not, it will depend on your fate."
Consort Yuanshu quickly kowtowed to the Empress, "This concubine thanks Empress. This concubine will definitely not forget Empress' kindness."
At this time, Consort Yun's voice rose again. She said to Tianwu, "Be a good emperor! Remember to carefully investigate this case. When you find out the reason, send someone to inform this concubine. Daring to destroy my Winter Moon Palace, this concubine will have to properly reason with her. " After he finished speaking, his sharp gaze swept across the group of concubines and concubines, causing them to lower their heads in an instant.
Everyone sighed in their hearts. It had been twenty years, but Consort Yun's appearance was the same as before. Time seemed to have frozen on her face without leaving a trace.
"Ming," Consort Yun said to Xuan Tianming: "Let's go, send Mufei out of the palace."
Xuan Tianming didn't say anything. He would do whatever his mother wanted. If she pulled him out, he would follow. But Tianwu didn't want to! He fiercely glared at Xuan Tianming and loudly said: "Your Mufei isn't sensible, but are you also not sensible? Why are you causing a ruckus? Aiya, Pian Pian! Can you first come to my Zhao He Hall and make do for a while? Tomorrow, I will have people renovate Winter Moon Palace. I guarantee that it will be exactly the same as before. Is that alright? Aiya, wait a moment, don't be in such a hurry to leave! I say, where are you going? "
The last shout finally made Consort Yun stop in her tracks. She turned around and proudly said to Tianwu: "Che! Isn't it just having a lot of wives? What are you showing off for? This concubine isn't someone without a backer! "
Tianwu was surprised, "What backer do you have?"
"This concubine has a son!" Consort Yun loudly said: "Xuan Zhan, listen to me. This concubine is leaving the palace right now. This concubine wants to move to Chun Palace! If this case isn't solved and Winter Moon Palace isn't restored to its original appearance, I won't come back! "
