After saying all this, Lü Yan felt sad, upset, and embarrassed. In order to help her sister and get her out of this misery as soon as possible, she gritted her teeth and endured the embarrassment. But as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to find someone to be alone with.
Xuan Yuan Chaohua followed and saw Lü Yan stop at the pavilion in the back garden. She walked in with her back slightly hunched and her head hanging low, then sat down and didn't raise her head for a long time, showing how great the blow she had just suffered was. Xuan Yuan Chaohua hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped forward and said, "Miss Lü Yan."
Hearing someone approaching, Lü Yan looked up in surprise. Her eyes were already red, and two tears streamed down her face. But when she saw Xuan Yuan Chao Hua, her eyes widened instantly, and another tear slid down her cheek. Then, as if realizing what was happening, Lü Yan hurriedly wiped away her tears. Her nose, red from crying, made her look like a stubborn little rabbit. She mumbled, "Really, something got into my eye when I ran out. It was so uncomfortable just now. I pinched my arm a few times, and it hurt so much that tears streamed down my face. It's only now that I feel better. General Xuan Yuan, you haven't misunderstood anything, have you?" Lü Yan bit her lip, looking wary. It was clear that she wasn't used to showing weakness in front of others, and she was using such a nonsensical excuse to justify herself.
Xuan Yuan Chaohua shook his head slightly, but a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. This girl, Lü Yan, was quite interesting. She was clearly a very spirited and heroic person, and although she had a unique charm, the girlish coquettishness she occasionally revealed was even more captivating to him. This was the contrast, and it was this contrast that made Lü Yan seem even more special.
Green Beauty breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Why did General Xuanyuan come out too?"
Xuanyuan Chaohua turned to the outside of the pavilion and said, "Miss Lüyan, your experience is indeed very pitiful. Your sister is now a very favored beauty in the palace, so she probably won't suffer too much. Don't take it too hard to heart."
Green Yan kept shaking her head: "General Xuanyuan, please don't blame me if what I'm saying is unpleasant to hear. For example, if Princess Chen were suffering unimaginable pain in a place you don't know about, what would you do?"
Xuanyuan Chaohua was taken aback. He turned his head and looked at the bright light in Lüyan's eyes, and said, "I will be very anxious and sad. I will find a way to rescue her and protect her."
Lü Yan couldn't help but laugh at herself, "Actually, I know I overestimated myself. Leaving aside the fact that the Sun family is a huge obstacle for me, what's more, my sister is still in the palace. When I came to the capital, I just wanted to know how my sister was doing, where she was. I never imagined she would be sent to the palace by the Sun family. I'm truly sorry for what happened before; my impulsiveness caused General Xuanyuan trouble. But even knowing how dangerous it is, I can't let my sister suffer in there." Lü Yan took a deep breath. "General Xuanyuan, you wouldn't understand. When my sister went to great lengths to get me out of the clutches of evil, she cried out to me in anguish, telling me not to go back to her. When she died, how I felt. I hated my own powerlessness. I practiced martial arts desperately, but my skills are probably no match for General Xuanyuan. Besides, with so many guards and attendants in the Sun family, what could I do? I was truly powerless. But even if I'm utterly powerless, before I die, I must rescue my sister. Even if I die with her, I don't want her to continue suffering because of protecting me."
Xuan Yuan Chaohua silently observed Lü Yan. The strength and confidence she displayed at that moment stirred something within him. He suddenly realized who Lü Yan resembled; she bore the shadow of his younger sister—both were independent and strong, yet their fierce determination made them endearing. A pang of sadness welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but take Lü Yan's hand. Lü Yan stiffened, looking at Xuan Yuan Chaohua in surprise, but the latter had already said, "I will do my best to help you. Even if I can't, I can at least take care of you."
Green Beauty's surprise deepened, but she opened her mouth, utterly at a loss for words. Xuan Yuan Chao Hua was the ideal husband in the hearts of all women in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Green Beauty had naturally heard of this, but she had never imagined that one day General Xuan Yuan would stand before her and utter these words. Her feelings were complex, and she gazed at Xuan Yuan Chao Hua, slowly becoming captivated…
In a secluded courtyard in the suburbs, a primitive brawl was taking place in the bedroom of the backyard. The battle was extremely fierce and the noise was deafening. The intensity was so great that the bed was shaking and creaking as if it were about to fall apart, but then it suddenly stopped.
A man and a woman lay on the bed, both panting heavily, covered in sweat and with flushed faces.
The man was extremely strong, and his usually cold face now carried a hint of satisfied smile. In contrast, the woman beside him was flushed all over, with a soft and alluring figure. She was breathing softly, and her breasts were rising and falling, as luscious as a ripe peach, tempting one to pluck them.
The man suddenly turned around, placed his hands on either side of the woman, and looked directly at her, saying, "You're such a seductive woman in bed, so passionate. What, can't your man satisfy you?"
The woman reached out and hooked her arm around the man's shoulder, saying, "You're so mean, talking about others like that. But you're right, the one at home isn't as strong as you, sir, who can make people feel like they're in heaven. He's just a weak scholar, not as strong as you."
The man sneered, reached out and pinched the woman's chin, slightly pressing her red lips apart. His eyes were slightly upturned, making him even more alluring: "You're such a slut. Is this a lingering effect of losing your virginity back then? You're with a man, yet you still don't forget to seduce others. This kind of passion is something that ordinary women can't compare to."
The woman was completely unfazed by the man's mockery. Instead, she hooked his head and leaned in for a kiss, saying, "My lord, do you like me like this? I can't guarantee anything else, but I can assure you that I'll satisfy you. Of all the women you've mentioned, is she as considerate and attentive as I am, knowing how to please you and satisfy you? If you don't like it, I'll just not do it this way next time." As she spoke, she pouted slightly, looking a little aggrieved. The man narrowed his eyes, pressed the woman down, and leaned in close.
The woman feigned a scream: "Oh, sir, what are you doing? Didn't you just..." Then she made an ambiguous sound.
After another round of commotion, the two lay down for a while to calm down, then got up and dressed. After dressing, the woman leaned in and hugged the man again. Her soft body was still pressed against the man's back, and she could clearly feel the changes in his body. Suddenly, the man turned his head and shouted, "Stop rambling. Business is important. How did things go?"
The woman then regained some composure and said, "I heard that the appointments for Xuanyuan Chaohua and Ouyang Zhide have been finalized, and it will only take half a month. As soon as they leave the capital, things can begin."
The man said, "If this matter is handled well, the master will be satisfied, and you will certainly receive a reward. Although I am the one who is handling this matter, if you do a good job, the master may even personally receive you."
The woman's face lit up with joy: "Please rest assured, Fifth Prince, this humble concubine will definitely handle this matter properly."
The man nodded and turned to leave, leaving the woman alone in the room. She carefully straightened her clothes, then turned and walked to the bed. After fiddling with the bed for a while, it suddenly collapsed, revealing a hole about the size of a person. The woman jumped inside, and the bed slowly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. She walked around in the hole for a while, her vision becoming increasingly clear. After walking a bit further, pressing and adjusting things in the dark hole, the stone wall in front of her opened.
"Auntie, are you alright?" A voice came from outside. The woman immediately went out and said, "I'm alright. What are you yelling about? I'm out now." She turned around and walked past the screen in front of her. Two maids were standing outside, their heads down and not saying a word. The woman looked at them and snorted coldly, "I'm tired and need to rest for a while. Don't bother me if you don't have to, you know?"
"It's the concubine." The two maids didn't speak, but they were secretly thinking to themselves. Lately, the concubine had been acting strangely, as if she had fallen into a magic bucket every time she went to the toilet. At first, the two maids were worried and went to check on her, but the concubine beat and scolded them. After that, neither of them dared to interfere. But in fact, the two maids were very resentful. Did she really think she was some kind of noble lady? When she became the young master's concubine, she was nothing more than a withered flower. Did she really think she was some kind of good-for-nothing? She was not even as good as them, the maids. At least they were innocent. Did she really think she was so great just because she had a father who was a general? Shouldn't a family like that be very strict? She had done such a disgraceful thing and should have killed herself on the spot, so as not to be so shameful while alive. And she even put on airs with them.
The young master's favorite concubines in the second courtyard are now out of favor, and they're still so sharp-tongued. They deserve it!
The woman lying on the bed was none other than Ouyang Rou. However, Ouyang Rou had already fallen asleep from exhaustion and was no longer concerned about anyone else. Besides, if her plan succeeded, Huang Yu would only be able to lick her feet. Why would she care whether Huang Yu doted on her or not?
That night, the sky was dotted with stars, and the moon shone like a clear, bright jade plate. In the main bedroom of Prince Chen's mansion, a slender figure stood by the window. This person gazed quietly at the night sky, appearing very calm, but her brows were slightly furrowed, and it was unknown what she was thinking.
Suddenly, two arms slid across her waist. The woman wasn't startled. Then, she felt a weight on her shoulder and a hot breath on her ear. She simply leaned against the chest of the person behind her, remaining completely calm.
The man behind her reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, tucking it behind her ear. He then tightened his grip, taking all of her weight onto himself: "My wife is thinking about that Green Beauty."
After their conversation during the day, Xuan Yuan Chaohua took Qi Qi and Lü Yan back to the Princess's residence. Qi Qi was the younger sister of Xuan Yuan Chaohua's deputy general. Although she had a house in the capital, it had been neglected for years and was not habitable, so she simply stayed at the general's residence. However, Ouyang Yue understood that her brother had probably invited them because of Lü Yan.
When Xuanyuan Chaohua and Lüyan returned from outside, they both sensed a strange atmosphere emanating from the two of them. Anyone who had experienced it knew it was ambiguity. Ouyang Yue immediately understood and didn't stop them. Instead, she seemed lost in thought from that moment on. At this moment, Ouyang Yue said, "It's rare for brother to be so moved by a woman."
Baili Chen was also feeling a bit uneasy. They understood, of course, that Lü Yan's purpose in coming to the capital was clear to them, and they could sense her determined nature. Even if she didn't achieve her goal, she would likely remain focused on the future. Ouyang Yue was determined to find a good match for her brother, and Lü Yan was definitely not a good candidate. But that was the problem—her brother was clearly deeply in love. This was a very difficult situation; if they missed this opportunity, she feared her brother would regret it for the rest of his life. Therefore, the most important thing to do now was probably to address the matter of Lü Yan's sister, Fen Yan: "I think I'll go to the palace tomorrow to meet this beautiful woman first."
Baili Chen nodded, "That's only right. Besides, I've already sent people to investigate this Lü Yan. We have to be careful. If it's true, we'll figure out a solution later."
Ouyang Yue also felt it was necessary. Thinking of this, she sighed softly: "If it's true, do you think we can rescue Fenyan?"
Baili Chen didn't speak, and perhaps Ouyang Yue didn't expect him to speak either. The two fell silent. However, Baili Chen didn't like the atmosphere. He leaned close to Ouyang Yue's ear and breathed on it, saying somewhat angrily, "Wife, you haven't looked at your husband much today."
Ouyang Yue glanced at Baili Chen sideways. Seeing this, Baili Chen twisted his body in anger to express his dissatisfaction. Ouyang Yue couldn't help but turn around helplessly, leaning against the window frame and smiling at Baili Chen: "I know you are incredibly handsome, but you don't have to keep attracting so much attention. Are you so narcissistic that you need people to say you are the most handsome man in the world every day?"
Baili Chen smiled and said, "Of course, others don't need to say that. They would disgust me to death. But it's different when my wife says it. My wife, you have to remember that you only need to pay attention to me. You have to look at me every day and tell me every day that you love me the most. I am the most handsome and I don't mind at all. Because in my heart, my wife is the most beautiful in the world, and I love my wife the most."
Ouyang Yue's eyes flickered, and she glanced at Baili Chen with some displeasure. "If I had known you were such a flirtatious person, I would have definitely thought twice before marrying you." Since their marriage, Baili Chen had become increasingly unrestrained, as if he was constantly teasing her, and he was practically suffocating from it all. However, after numerous protests to no avail, Ouyang Yue had simply given up. You can reason with a gentleman, but what's the point of reasoning with a rogue? It's just a waste of breath.
Baili Chen laughed and said, "Look how much my wife loves me, she can't even express it anymore."
Ouyang Yue rolled her eyes: "You really are a mind reader, you know exactly what I'm thinking?"
"Of course, because I love you every moment, and I understand what my wife is thinking. My wife is just a woman, and she's a little shy, I understand all of that." He then gave him a smug "I understand, you don't need to say more" look, which made Ouyang Yue pinch his waist. Of course, she didn't pinch hard, but Baili Chen groaned and moaned, looking both pained and happy. He really looked...
Ouyang Yue was speechless, but Baili Chen's eyes sparkled, and he hugged Ouyang Yue tightly: "Whatever my wife wants to do, I will support her. Since I am so good to you, do you have any reward for me?"
Ouyang Yue pretended to be naive: "A reward? Okay, I'll make breakfast tomorrow. Didn't you keep pestering me to cook for you? I'll make it tomorrow, and I'll even feed you myself."
Baili Chen nodded hurriedly, "This is what my wife said, but what I want now is not this reward. What I want is this one." Baili Chen smiled and poked Ouyang Yue's chest. Ouyang Yue blushed and turned to run away, but Baili Chen was not about to let her go. He took a few quick steps, then pounced on Ouyang Yue with his toes. In a flash, he was on the bed.
Ouyang Yue was speechless: "You even used your lightness skill in the room, and it was all for this!" She glared at Baili Chen, who was already burning with lust, and complained. However, all the words she said were swallowed back down. She glared and whimpered, but Baili Chen had already pressed down on her...
☆, Chapter 194: Tender Affection, The Real and the Fake Green Beauty! (Urgently seeking monthly votes)
Ouyang Yue found that whenever this happened, she always had a hard time controlling herself, both physically and mentally. But she didn't want to admit it. She blamed Baili Chen for being too cunning. Once he identified her weakness, he would hold on to it and never let go. How hateful!
"Ugh..." Baili Chen had no experience before, but men are born to be in control of these things, and now his technique is very skilled. Just two kisses were enough to make Ouyang Yue surrender and give up struggling. Baili Chen was very proud of himself.
As their clothes gradually came off, they collapsed completely onto the bed. Ouyang Yue's eyes were glazed with desire from the kisses, and her whole body felt as weak as a ball of cotton. As she watched Baili Chen's increasingly frenzied expression, she was gradually swallowed up, leaving not a trace behind.
After a long while, Ouyang Yue was held weakly in Baili Chen's arms. Her fair face was flushed with pink, and the fine sweat on her forehead made her look fragrant and charming. She breathed softly, and each breath hit Baili Chen's chest, making his body gradually stiffen.
Suddenly, Ouyang Yue paused, then reached out her fair, jade-like hand and placed it against Baili Chen's chest. She tilted her head back slightly and said, "Husband, I'm so tired, I don't want to anymore."
Baili Chen grabbed her hand and kissed it gently from her fingertips to her palm. The kisses made Ouyang Yue tremble, feeling itchy and numb, which was very uncomfortable. She let out a soft moan. Baili Chen then pulled Ouyang Yue into his arms and gently stroked her smooth, silky skin with his hands, which were larger than a woman's, as if they were precious treasures. As he lingered on her, Ouyang Yue trembled all over and gradually lost herself in the moment.
Ouyang Yue was exhausted. Whether it was the events of the day or being forced into marital relations by Baili Chen, everything had left her physically weary. This was completely different from martial arts training; it was a relaxation of the mind. She nestled limply in Baili Chen's arms, vaguely feeling his somewhat rough hands gently stroking her stomach, very tenderly and carefully. He murmured, "Isn't it almost time? I've tried so hard." Ouyang Yue was too lazy to think about it anymore.
The next day, the sun slowly rose, and the morning sunlight streamed into the room, falling on the large bed and illuminating the two sleeping people. The woman on the inner side fluttered her eyelashes, then slowly opened her eyes. However, the first thing she saw was a sharp glint in her eyes, followed by a look of weariness and confusion. Who else could it be but Ouyang Yue? Ouyang Yue lay in bed for a while, but suddenly the mutterings she had heard in her exhausted sleep the night before echoed in her mind. It couldn't be her imagination.
Turning her head, she saw the outrageously handsome face beside her. The man's sword-like eyebrows flew boldly into his temples, his nose was high and straight, and his lips were red and thin, with an extremely alluring shape. However, she knew that the most captivating feature of this man was actually his eyes, which were deep and dark. Whenever he gazed at you with deep affection in those eyes, it was hard not to be moved.
Her fingers gently traced Baili Chen's lips, recalling the intoxication those lips had brought her. Her mind drifted to Baili Chen's words; he had tried so hard, both in showering her with affection and trying to conceive. Yet, she was now unable to see or contact Su'er, and had no idea what the problem was, why she hadn't conceived. In the royal family, offspring were a major issue, and it was impossible for Ouyang Yue to claim indifference. Perhaps Su'er wouldn't appear? How could she accept that? But why hadn't she received any news?
"Ah! You bit me." Who knew that Ouyang Yue was thinking this, but suddenly felt a slight stinging pain on her finger. When she came to her senses, her finger was already in Baili Chen's mouth. The latter's eyes were definitely not those of someone who had just woken up. They were extremely bright and frightening, and there was undisguised affection in his eyes.
"My wife is so proactive, how could I let her down?" Baili Chen laughed, the curve of his lips making him look like a fox.
"I didn't!" Ouyang Yue glared. She was just thinking and forgot what she was doing. She was innocent, wasn't she? But whether she was really innocent or not, Baili Chen would never let this opportunity pass. He suddenly flipped over and placed his palms on Ouyang Yue's sides, pressing down on her. "Wife, don't deny it. I know what you're thinking about is how to devour me. As the best and most understanding man in the world, I will definitely fulfill your request."
Ouyang Yue wanted to roll her eyes, but the next moment of madness made her forget everything else.
Five days later, at 9:00 AM, in the Mingxiang Palace of the Imperial Palace, Ouyang Yue, accompanied by Chuncao and Qiuyue, stood in the main hall to pay her respects to Consort Sun. Of course, she had already greeted the Empress Dowager and the Empress beforehand; she would never make a fool of herself in such a situation. Today, Consort Sun wore a deep purple silk robe with intricate floral patterns, adorned with numerous jewels, exuding an air of nobility. However, compared to before, she was noticeably thinner and looked somewhat haggard, undoubtedly due to the incident with Baili Le. Upon seeing Ouyang Yue enter, Consort Sun's expression remained cold, her eyes even carrying a hint of resentment. Ouyang Yue, however, bowed indifferently.
Consort Sun sneered: "How come Princess Consort Chen has time to come to the palace today, and even pay her respects at my Mingxiang Palace? It's truly rare."
Ouyang Yue smiled and said, "What are you saying, Consort Sun? You are, after all, an elder. It is only right that I occasionally come to the palace to pay my respects and express my gratitude."
Looking at Ouyang Yue's behavior, Consort Sun felt it was pretentious and affected. Could it really be that the incident at Baili Lechen's mansion had nothing to do with Baili Chen and Ouyang Yue? Consort Sun couldn't believe such an explanation. So how could she have a good mood for Ouyang Yue? "Alright, I've had my greetings. I'm tired. You may go back." She directly gave her the order to leave.
Ouyang Yue smiled and said, "Consort Sun doesn't look too well, so I'll take my leave now. I hope Consort Sun will get some rest and take good care of her health." It was unclear what Ouyang Yue meant by these words, but to Consort Sun, they sounded like a mockery. Consort Sun looked unwell and coldly watched Ouyang Yue leave.
Ouyang Yue, along with Chuncao and Qiuyue, walked slowly, as if strolling leisurely, out of Mingxiang Palace. Just then, a few people approached from around the corner in front of Mingxiang. The woman leading them wore a pink gauze dress with a floral pattern, which perfectly showcased her graceful figure. A pair of golden mandarin duck headdresses swayed on her head, making a crisp sound as she walked, dripping down to her ears and highlighting her flawless white skin. She was exceptionally beautiful; who else could she be but Fenyan?
Ouyang Yue walked over, a smile on her face: "Pink beauty."
Fenyan immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess Consort Chen."
Ouyang Yue nodded: "Please rise quickly. What a coincidence! I didn't expect that the beautiful lady would also come to pay her respects to Consort Sun."
Fenyan said softly, "Princess Consort Chen, you may not know, but I have just been promoted to the rank of Consort and am currently residing in Mingxiang Palace."
Ouyang Yue smiled and said, "Then I congratulate Consort Fen on her promotion. However, with Consort Fen's qualifications, it's probably not difficult for her to rise step by step. I, the princess, will just flatter her and ask for her words first."
Fenyan was taken aback, and immediately said, "You flatter me too much, Princess Consort Chen. I am not worthy of such a title."
Ouyang Yue then looked up and said, "Alas, I always come to the palace alone because I'm bored and don't like to go shopping. If Consort Fen has nothing to do, would you be interested in strolling around with me and giving me some directions?"
Fenyan was a little confused, but smiled and said, "It's rare for Princess Chen to have such an interest, so this concubine will naturally do my duty."
"Then, Consort Fen, this way please." The two walked out as they spoke. Along the way, Fen Yan was very well-behaved, following Ouyang Yue a step behind. The two only occasionally pointed out various places in the palace. They were not overly enthusiastic, but they were not too indifferent either. The two palace maids following behind Fen Yan kept their eyes down and followed without saying anything.
The two then sat down in a pavilion. Ouyang Yue suggested they have some tea and fruit. "You two go and prepare," Fenyan ordered the two palace maids. The two maids exchanged a glance but didn't move an inch, as if their feet were rooted to the ground. Fenyan blushed and looked quite embarrassed.
"What? Even the servants can't be ordered around by Consort Fen? What kind of rule is this in the palace? Or is Consort Fen so poor that she can't even serve me tea and fruit? Or is Consort Fen trying to give me a hard time?" Ouyang Yue raised her eyebrows, revealing her dissatisfaction.
Fenyan stiffened slightly and said repeatedly, "Princess Consort Chen, please calm down. It was my fault. You two, hurry up and prepare. Do you want me to kill you in a fit of anger?"
The two palace maids still didn't want to move, but Ouyang Yue suddenly stood up: "How dare you! Consort Fen, which servants are these? The Imperial Household Department only sent these lowly ones to serve you? No matter what, you are now greatly favored by the Emperor, and I, the Princess Consort, must treat you with the respect due to an elder. How dare these dog servants in the palace be so disobedient! I have encountered this today, and I must intervene. Chuncao, go to the Imperial Household Department and call the person in charge. I, the Princess Consort, will ask today who is so audacious as to assign these untrained servants to serve the palace masters. Do they not respect the Emperor, or are they deliberately trying to embarrass me? I will not rest until they give me a clear answer!"
Only then did the two palace maids show fear on their faces. When Fenyan entered Mingxiang Palace, the servants she brought with her were naturally assigned by Consort Sun. These two palace maids, relying on being Consort Sun's people, usually didn't take Fenyan seriously. Fenyan, being suppressed by Consort Sun, didn't dare to speak up, so the two palace maids naturally became more and more arrogant, forgetting that Ouyang Yue was not Fenyan. If she wanted to deal with them, they could die a hundred times over.
"Princess Consort Chen, please forgive me! Consort Fen, please forgive me! I was just thinking about what to prepare, and I got too engrossed in it. Please forgive me, Princess Consort Chen and Consort Fen."
"This servant is the same; please forgive me, Princess Chen and Consort Fen."
Ouyang Yue looked at the two people coldly, then waved her hand in annoyance: "Go and prepare quickly. Don't let me think that Mingxiang Palace is so poor that it doesn't even have some good tea and snacks. If that's the case, I will naturally bring some with me next time I visit the palace."
The two palace maids immediately kowtowed and begged for forgiveness. Princess Chen clearly did not believe their words. If they brought cheap things again, Princess Chen might think that Mingxiang Palace was mistreating Fenyan. In addition, Fenyan was currently favored. If this were to be reported to the Emperor, Consort Sun would be the first to execute them. At that moment, they dared not have any other thoughts and hurriedly went to prepare the things.
At this moment, Fenyan glanced at Ouyang Yue and couldn't help but say, "Princess Consort Chen sent them away. I wonder what she wants to say to me." Fenyan was clever enough to think of this as well.
Ouyang Yue smiled and looked out of the pavilion. Behind the pavilion was a rockery, and in front was a patch of colorful flowers. A gentle breeze blew, scattering the branches, creating a unique charm. Ouyang Yue asked, "Is there anyone else in Consort Fen's household?"
Fenyan was puzzled and hesitated before answering, "I have a younger sister at home." In fact, even if Fenyan didn't say it, she knew that if these people wanted to investigate, they would find out everything, so it was better to be honest.
"Oh, and another younger sister. Since Consort Fen entered the palace, who takes care of your sister?" Ouyang Yue asked seemingly out of curiosity, but it sounded alarm bells in Fen Yan's mind: "Of course she is taken care of. I didn't expect Princess Consort Chen to be so interested in my family." As she spoke, she stared intently at Ouyang Yue, watching the changes in her facial expressions.
Ouyang Yue didn't care, and simply said, "I just think that living in the south and the north must be very difficult for Consort Fen and your sister. I know very well that when parents die young, the relationship between siblings is often very good because they support each other. I think Consort Fen must often think of her sister who is far away."
Fenyan's expression changed, but her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but say, "Of course."
Ouyang Yue continued, "What is Consort Fen's sister's name?"
Fenyan finally couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Ouyang Yue as if facing a formidable enemy, saying, "Princess Consort Chen, what exactly do you want to say? Please stop beating around the bush. If Princess Consort Chen doesn't speak, this concubine will also leave."
Ouyang Yue smiled faintly: "Princess Consort, don't be impatient. Your sister is named Lüyan."
"How could you know!" Fenyan's expression changed drastically. She stood up and glared angrily at Ouyang Yue. She knew very well how she and her sister had separated. What she had seen in the palace made her realize how treacherous people could be. She instinctively felt that Ouyang Yue's sudden mention of these things was definitely malicious.
Ouyang Yue smiled and said, "Because I recently met a woman named Lüyan, and she asked me to help her find her older sister and help her sister escape her suffering. I just thought your name is similar to that of Lüyan, so I asked. Consort Fen, there's no need to be too nervous."
How could Fenyan not be nervous? She mentally prepared herself, but finally couldn't help but ask, "Princess Consort Chen, I hope you're not lying to me. Is my sister really with you?"
