Chapter 6: Become a Stepping Stone for Someone Else’s Revenge Plan

After that yellow figure faded from sight, Yao Mowan stepped out from her concealed location.

“Have you completed the tasks I assigned you?” Yao Mowan asked as she continued looking in the direction Ye Hongyi had left in.

“Don’t worry Master, tonight’s preparations are ready,” replied Yin Xue respectfully. Yao Mowan smiled faintly. A breeze swept past, and when the wind died down, all that was left on her face was frost.

The moment Jian Chen stepped into Ordinance Palace, Xie Siyin turned around and rushed into his arms.

“Jian Chen! Are you alright? I was really worried that I’d never be able to see you again in this lifetime!” Tears streamed down her cheeks as she wrapped her arms around Jian Chen’s waist. Yue Chan tactifully withdrew from the palace and stationed herself at the door to keep watch.

“Look at you, what are you crying for? It was all thanks to His Majesty sending Imperial Physician Zheng. I’m already much better…” Jian Chen gently helped Xie Siyin up and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, his eyes filled with love. For the sake of the woman he loved most, he had decided to work with that mysterious woman called Jing Xin. As long as Xie Siyin’s safety could be guaranteed, he was willing to take this risk. In any case, he had already touched death once. It was good if he was able to survive, but he could also accept dying.

“Yes, you’ve really gotten better! It seemed like His Majesty kept his promise. He really did send an imperial physician to check up on you and bring you into the palace. We really need to thank him!” Xie Siyin felt a lot better when she saw that Jian Chen’s pallor had improved and she felt even more grateful towards Ye Hongyi.

“Thank him…” Jian Chen’s eyes darkened.

“That’s right. If it weren’t for His Majesty, there was no way we could have been together- Cough cough…” After a few sentences, Xie Siyin had to gasp for breath.

“It’s all my fault, I forgot that you weren’t feeling well. I’ll help you back to your room so that you can rest.” Jian Chen restrained the coldness in his eyes and supported Xie Siyin into the bedroom.

The moment they entered the room, he looked towards the square red sandalwood table in the middle of the room. Just as Jing Xin had said, it had extremely detailed engravings.

“I’m fine, I’ll be better after sitting for a while. Jian Chen, since you’ve already entered the palace, don’t leave again. From now on, let’s stay together no matter what. Siyin can’t bear to be apart from you for even a day.” Xie Siyin pulled Jian Chen to sit down at the table. Although her voice was weak, it was filled with happiness.

“Of course! Anything you want!” Jian Chen carefully poured a cup of tea and passed it to Xie Siyin. As she drank the tea, he quietly took out a silver needle and stabbed it towards the leg of the table. He glanced down and saw that the needle had turned blood red. Even though he had already known about it, it was still different from personally seeing it. His heart raged! Ye Hongyi, how could you be so heartless!?

“Jian Chen?” called Xie Siyin worriedly when she sensed Jian Chen’s abnormality.

“Oh… it’s nothing. I’m going to leave first. If I stay too long, someone might get suspicious. I’ll come see you again tonight during the patrol!”

“Alright. We have many more days ahead of us, I feel at ease just knowing that you’re nearby.” However, her eyes were still filled with reluctance as she got up to hug him goodbye.

Once Jian Chen left Ordinance Palace, he sought out a corner with no one around and abruptly slammed his fist against the palace wall. Tears spilled out. Xie Siyin had endured so much just to be with him! He owed Xie Siyin too much! But Ye Hongyi! What about you!? You owed us much more!

Since I don’t have the power to get revenge, I will just become a stepping stone for another to get their revenge on you. Virtue had its reward and evil its retribution. Ye Hongyi, even if I die, I will become a malicious spirit and haunt you until I witness your retribution with my own eyes!

Ye Junqing didn’t show up for dinner. Yao Mowan knew that he was currently investigating An Bingshan, but she wasn’t worried since Liu Sha was watching over him. Thus, she lifted her chopsticks with plans to go see the show after dinner. However, Yao Suluan’s sudden appearance interrupted her plans. Luckily, she was just a spectator so even if she wasn’t there, the play would continue as planned.

“Wan er, Big Sister missed you!” The moment Yao Suluan walked in, she ran to hug Yao Mowan. Her expression was flawlessly sincere, it truly was a remarkable performance.

“What is Second Sister missing Wan er with? Your mouth? Or your heart?” Yao Mowan intimately returned her embrace with a smile. The only reason that could make Yao Suluan act dumb the moment she walked in was Ye Hongyi!

As she had expected, before Yao Suluan could reply, Ye Hongyi had already walked in.

“Your Majesty, you came to visit Wan er!” Yao Mowan snuck a glance at Yao Suluan as she threw herself into Ye Hongyi’s arms. Although she was going to miss the play at Ordinance Palace, this upcoming play seemed entertaining enough as well.

“That’s right, Wan er has make us lovesick. We can’t even sleep without coming to see Wan er. Say, shouldn’t you be punished?” Ye Hongyi stroked Yao Mowan’s face, then flicked her little nose dotingly. In the entirety of the Inner Palace, this was the only place he could feel completely relaxed. Something he would laugh at himself for the fact that his Inner Palace was so corrupt that this fool was the only one he could trust.

“But that’s not Wan er‘s fault. Your Majesty got lovesick, Second Sister also got lovesick. If both of you punish Wan er… Wan er‘s so pitiful!” Yao Mowan pouted as she buried her head into his chest.

“Ha, our little Wan er ah!” Ye Hongyi found her manner adorable. When he looked to the side, he saw that Yao Suluan was standing nervously to the side.

“Consort Li is also here?” Ye Hongyi’s voice turned conspicuously colder.

“Your Majesty… Suluan missed Wan er… so Suluan came to see Wan er… If Your Majesty doesn’t like Suluan… Suluan will go back now.” Yao Suluan subconsciously backed away fearfully. When Ye Hongyi didn’t speak, she turned to leave.

A good execution of letting loose in order to capture. Yao Mowan’s lips hooked in a cold smile as she inwardly remarked this. Just as Yao Suluan stepped out of Guan Osprey Palace, Ye Hongyi spoke.

“Since you’re already here, let’s just eat together!” Ye Hongyi’s voice was still cold to the point it gave people chills, but unfortunately, Yao Suluan didn’t notice.

“Can Suluan really…” Yao Suluan stood at the doors and timidly looked towards Ye Hongyi.

“Why can’t you? Second Older Sister, hurry and come here!” Yao Mowan observed Yao Suluan with interest. Back then, Yao Suluan had lowered herself to being a villain and colluding with Ye Hongyi to get rid of her, this empress, but what did she get in the end? She had still been abandoned by Ye Hongyi like worn out shoes.

During the entire meal, Ye Hongyi kept grabbing food for Yao Mowan. Even Fluffy who had wandered over obtained some of his grace. Yao Suluan was the only one completely ignored.

Her heart felt as if it was filled with wildly growing thorns that stabbed deeper into her with each pulse. Every mouthful of food tasted like wax and stuck in her throat.

Ye Hongyi, you were truly blind! Could it be that you can’t see how terrifying that woman next to you is? She was a demon! She was here for revenge! If you continued pampering her, you’d definitely fall to eternal damnation! However, how could she say these words? How could she make Ye Hongyi believe her?

“Second Older Sister, are you alright? Your hands are trembling!” Yao Mowan noticed every single tiny reaction from Yao Suluan and knew that she was definitely suffering as she endured.

“I-I… I’m fine…” Yao Suluan glanced apprehensively towards Ye Hongyi as she stammered a response.

“You’re afraid of us?” Ye Hongyi furrowed his brows as he looked towards Yao Suluan. Although Yao Suluan had fainted in the lake, he still didn’t believe that she had gone dumb. The only reason he hadn’t looked into it yet was because he couldn’t have Yao Suluan dying before he confirmed a few matters. Otherwise, based on his personality, people that knew too much of his secrets that didn’t become trusted aids of his would head straight to hell to become lost souls.
