YM778.TV Chapter 283 She Had Become His Sole Happiness
Aunt Yue had paid attention to the hidden guards’ movement and pattern because she was too idle in her courtyard. Who knew that it would help her in the future? It would be easy for her to use a little something to make them fall asleep for a little while.
Xiao Fang nodded. "How... how can I let you know when we will bring my friend here?"
When Aunt Yue heard the word ’we’, she knew that there would be a few more people came with Xiao Fang, however, she realized that there was no way Xiao Fang could bring a grown woman all alone here. Aunt Yue answered, "Light up this thing at the chosen day around Xu Shi [modern timing: 7pm-9pm]! Then, you can directly come here through the side door at the beginning of Zhi Shi [modern timing: 11pm-1am]... I will take care of the hidden guards. Remember you need to do this as soon as possible! The longer she stays that way, the lesser her chance to wake up!"
When Xiao Fang heard the last part, she became worried. Aunt Yue answered the door and she continued chatting with Uncle Qiu. Uncle Qiu saw that nothing was wrong, so he sighed in relief. At least, Aunt Yue didn’t notice this little impostor’s real identity.
Xiao Fang, who just heard that Yao Ling should be healed as soon as possible or else she would be forever in a coma, became really nervous. She felt that both of these old people talked way too much and too long ah~! She kept fidgeting in the corner because she wanted to go back to the trio as soon as possible. Aunt Yue naturally understood her feelings and she really wanted to laugh at her cuteness, on the other hand, Uncle Qiu felt annoyed at the little girl’s restless movement.
They decided to end their chat early. Usually, Aunt Yue would feel sad when her little Qiu had to leave earlier than usual. However, her mood was quite good this time which puzzling Uncle Qiu, but the latter didn’t ponder over it. He just wanted to bring Xiao Fang out of there. The latter had made him feel embarrassed enough.
True to Xiao Fang’s expectation, she got an earful from her godfather after they went out of the forbidden place. Xiao Fang usually would coax him and pretend to be pitiful or throw a tantrum, however, she just stayed quietly on the side at this moment. Uncle Qiu felt that something wasn’t right with her, but he didn’t ask anything. He could only sigh and let Xiao Fang go.
He felt that he had had enough of her at the moment. When he gave her a little bit of a scolding, she just stood there obediently which made him feel that whatever he said... she wouldn’t listen to it anyway.
Xiao Fang grinned when she was out of Uncle Qiu sight. The best way to be released early was pretending to listen quietly while zoning out. She quickly found Yao Ying and Lin Jian in Yao Ling’s room ---after that, she explained everything that Aunt Yue had said, but not including her fortune. It was her little secret.
After Xiao Fang finished speaking, the trio looked at the sleeping Yao Ling. If they didn’t know better, they would think that she was only sleeping. Although she was in a coma, her complexion still looked quite healthy. She even had rosy cheeks and red alluring lips.
"Should we trust Aunt Yue?" Xiao Fang asked carefully. The one who had the most say in this matter was Yao Ying, Yao Ling’s husband. That was why she directed her question at him.
Yao Ying sighed and answered, "Do we have another choice? Yao Ling is in a dire state and the only one who is related to the symbols is Aunt Yue. We can only gamble and trust her. I’m also afraid that Yao Ling will stay this way forever... I can’t let anything happen to her!"
Lin Jian and Xiao Fang looked at each other. They understood Yao Ying’s feelings, thus, they trusted his judgment. "It has already passed Xu Shi, so we can’t do it today. Tomorrow... we will do it tomorrow," Yao Ying said decisively.
Postponing this matter further would only affect Yao Ling’s health. The sooner they did, the better. Yao Ying waited impatiently for the next Xu Shi to come, but the more he waited impatiently, the longer he felt how the time passed. He had no choice but to hug Yao Ling’s while sleeping --- just to make him sleep better. With her warmth inside his embrace, he could feel that she was still alive... she was still there with him.
He would never guess that there would be a time that he would find out that his wife... was more important than his own life. She had become his sole happiness.
The next day, several people that had come in contact with them kept asking about Yao Ling’s condition and they could only answer the same way... she was vomiting right after eating. They offered to call a physician for Yao Ling but Yao Ying politely declined. He told them that Yao Ling was quite good at it and she was able to diagnose herself.
Yao Ying knew that it kept continuing like this, those people would become suspicious. The guards were still looking around for the people that tried to trespass two days ago and he knew that this matter wouldn’t end until they found them.
When Xu Shi had arrived, Xiao Fang lighted up the signal and Aunt Yue was able to see it clearly. The latter could feel a bubble of happiness inside her heart--- she was going to meet her! Soon... Without further ado, she quickly prepared the medicine that would make the hidden guards fall asleep for a little while. As long as there was no major event, they wouldn’t wake up easily.
It was almost Zhi Shi, Yao Ying quickly princess carried Yao Ling and went to the forbidden place with Lin Jian and Xiao Fang. Lin Jian used his inner qi to feel the presence of the hidden guards, true enough, he couldn’t feel them but he knew that they were still there. Judging from the feelings that he had gotten from his own inner qi, it seemed like the hidden guards’ inner qi were in a dormant state.
"It seems like they are being drugged," Lin Jian told the other two.
Yao Ying and Xiao Fang nodded at what he said. It seemed like Aunt Yue was actually capable of getting out of this cage if she wanted to. If she didn’t sacrifice herself for her people, she would be able to live freely. They had a gut feeling that she wanted to help Yao Ling because she was a Bei Yue...
The more they thought of this, the more they thought that this old woman mustn’t only have an ordinary rank in Bei Yue’s society. Well... They will get to know it sooner or later. They just prayed that Yao Ling’s new identity wouldn’t bring any danger to her!
They wondered how could Yao Ling suddenly become a Bei Yue?!
