Repairing the Past

Chapter 40

Chu Yao's body position had changed. He sat with his hands clenched together on the table. His eyes showed seriousness. There was no emotion of a seventeen-year-old girl.

Only the aura of maturity was wrapped by the physique of a young girl.

The woman invited Tong's uncle and Hui's aunt to sit together around the garden table. The two old men hesitantly followed the master's instructions.

Uncle Tong took a breath and then started the conversation, "Before I get to the focus of the matter, I will tell the lady that we are both Merva natives. We are only one of the civilians who was once helped by Her Majesty's daughter, Meng Shixun, in one of the remote villages on the border of the Merva-Airland country.. "

"Before the massive attack by Airland, our country was quite prosperous. The king and queen are so respected by the people. With their descendants. Among the four brothers, Meng's daughter became one of the favorites of the king. Besides being the most beautiful, the princess also had an insight that was not inferior to the princes in the palace.."

"The daughter is the third child. Both of his older brothers were men who respected all government officials. The typical daughter of a girl who likes to learn and she always follows the second prince to come down directly to the spaciousness in case of a disaster or disaster.."

"One of them is in our area. At that time landslides due to prolonged rains have cut off road access for aid delivery. We were stuck with the princess for five days in a row. He calmed our turmoil by teaching us to read and do many new things.. "

"That's where we got along with him. Although he returned to the palace after the disaster was handled well, but he always sent letters, inquire about the news and the development of our village. He also sent new books to the village library. All the people remember his kindness.."

"When Airland succeeded in conquering Merva, all members of the royal family were brought to Airland. We heard that all were executed except for the princess.. "

"It was not long before there was news that general Chu was seeking two of Merva's civilians to become his wife's personal servants. At first we did not know who his wife was, but it would be surprising if she was Meng's daughter. We and several tens of people registered themselves to be his servants as a form of our return.. "

Uncle Tong coughed lightly and again continued, "We don't understand why a princess is allowed to marry a general. His status at that time was a prisoner of war. But we don't care, as long as he's alive, our hope of survival will remain.."

"Short story short, we were both chosen to be the daughter's personal servants of all tens of candidates. For many years we served him, from his allowing the general to remarry to his seemingly unaffected nature when the first son of general Chu was born into the world. We never suspected her or the general's strange behavior. Until one day we accidentally caught His Majesty the Airland emperor in the princess's private room. And it's not just once twice, but many times.. "

Uncle Tong swallowed the saliva. While Chu Yao remained silent listening with clenched hands.

"The princess did not comment on anything despite knowing that we were throwing various questions implied on our faces. She finally opened her voice when she found out that she was pregnant with the lady.."

"She explained that her husband was not the general of Chu, but His Majesty the emperor of Airland."

"What?" Sela Chu Yao was in disbelief.

"True miss, the lady is the daughter of the Airland emperor who is kept secret from the public. It turned out that the marriage of the princess and the general was only a guise to secure the princess position from punishment. The general became a shield at the personal request of the Airland emperor who wanted to marry the princess secretly. It seems that the emperor has been lured by the beauty of the princess so willing to violate the provisions of the law that has been applied in Airland." Clearly Uncle Tong while looking up at the black night sky.

Chu Yao flinched. He was very surprised by what he just heard. His face paled slightly with an increasingly tight heartbeat.

"And as the lady knew, the empress did not like the actions taken by the emperor. Besides feeling jealous, she also felt that her position would falter if Meng's daughter gave birth to the daughter of the Emperor's noble."

"Had the empress seemed enthusiastic about wanting to eliminate me. It turns out..." Chuckle Chu Yao with an erratic feeling.

Uncle Tong smiled smirkingly. He continued after pausing for a while, "We do not know since when the empress managed to make some servants of the residence as her loyal followers. One of them was Ah Zheng who was indeed serving the princess on the orders of the general.. "

"Although her health began to decline since giving birth to Miss, no one knew that the princess had been poisoned. The princess was so smart to hide her pain. I was so foolish as to not be able to read the initial symptoms of the poison to the princess. So the princess must die in this way. " Uncle Tong's growled with a real sense of guilt in his irises.

"... "

"I don't know what information the lady knows, but one thing you should know, we have sworn to the emperor's Majesty to keep this secret until we die. Not only us, general Chu is so." Clearly uncle Tong with full seriousness.

Chu Yao massaged her throbbing forehead, "That poison, did the emperor and father know about that hopeless poison that caused mother's death?"

The two old men in front of Chu Yao nodded their heads without hesitation.

"really? They really know? But why let rumors, mother suicide because of shame caught cheating, spread all over Airland?" Chu Yao asked without the slightest pause.

Uncle Tong and Aunt Hui were just talking through the wrong eyes. Finally aunt Hui spoke up even though still with a clear nervousness in every word he said.

"We do not know for sure, which is clear that the affair is just a slander made by the empress. It seems that Madam Xun has been deceived by the sedition of the empress so she participated in voicing the princess's punishment in a loud voice."

"As for the silence of the noble emperors and generals, we do not understand. Ah Tong said, it might be related to the stability of Airland. I don't know miss! To this day we are still confused." Dupus aunt Hui with both eyebrows linked.

Chu Yao cupped her hands together and let her head rest comfortably there. Everyone is silent. Waiting for the response Chu Yao gave.

Uncle Tong and Aunt Hui instead prepared themselves to receive an outpouring of anger from the master.

Instead of going berserk, the girl simply took a few deep breaths and stood up from her original seat. Occasionally he walks back and forth while crossing.

"Does anyone want you to know from us? We will answer as we can. " Uncle Tong said as decently as possible.

"Good."

The two old men slowly got up and walked away leaving Chu Yao who was staring at the complex on their backs.

"Wait uncle!" Call Chu Yao as he approached Uncle Tong, "Does uncle know the bone-smelting poison?"

Mo Yan gasped. He almost moved forward hearing Chu Yao mention the bone-melting poison. His memory automatically returned to the meeting of generals and emperors. The poison was what the emperor wanted to give the woman.

How could Chu Yao know of that bastard?

Uncle Tong recalled for a moment then gave a response, "i have never seen it in person but I have read in one of the Empire's medical books that concubine Meng brought. It is said that the poison is a poison that is not known who made it. However, only the Airland Emperor or his successors had the poison."

"Bone-smelting poison is a rare poison. Not just anyone can have it. Do you know where this poison comes from?" Asked Uncle Tong with a confused face.

Instead of replying, Chu Yao instead said, "The poison is extremely ferocious. Not only shred internal organs but also turn off joints quickly. All parts of the body were in immeasurable pain. Sufferers will spit out, oh no, spitting out a lot of fresh blood without pause until all the blood in his body runs out. In the end, the sufferer will spit out black blood before actually dying to die of death."

"Miss, where do you know the characteristics of the poison in detail? The Empire's medical books alone were only explained in outline. Did you ever see the poison victim?" Ask Uncle Tong with curiosity.

Chu Yao laughed softly. He felt amused and sad by the question posed by Uncle Tong.

Seeing victims?

Wasn't it!

It was Chu Yao who was the victim!

The woman who had felt the immediate enormity of the pain due to the bone-melting poison. Even up to this moment, that terrifying sensation was still clearly recorded in every jolt of his breath.

Uncle Tong looked confused by the response given by the employer. He did not dare to ask a second time. Politely, he resigned and disappeared behind the garden corridor within minutes.

A-Wei is like that too. He had even left before Uncle Tong and aunt Hui stepped out of the garden. Leaving Mo Yan staring at Chu Yao.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Chu Yao asked when she found Mo Yan looking at her as if she wanted to interrogate him.

Mo Yan remained silent with a flat face. He still locked onto his desire to ask about the bone-melting poison that Chu Yao already knew.

Chu Yao also chose to shut up even though she knew the young man was holding back his curiosity towards the poison of the curse.

Chu Yao stood in front of Mo Yan. Without hesitation hugged the cold man tightly. The girl had already guessed that Mo Yan already knew her identity before Uncle Tong spoke. Chu Yao understood the actions the bodyguard took. That young man definitely did not want to see Chu Yao shocked by that absurd reality.

The girl smiled. He is not completely calm. To be honest, what made him so shocked was not the fact that he was the son of the emperor but the possession of bone-smelting poison that was unexpected.

Meaning in his previous life, there was the role of the emperor behind his death. It could be the emperor who gave the poison to Madame Xun through someone else's hands.

"It seems that the emperor did want to obliterate my life long ago." Chu Yao murmured with an accompanying *****breathing long.

"Why does the lady think so?" Mo Yan asked who was trying to lure Chu Yao to reveal her secret.

The girl gave a smile and poked her hands around the bodyguard's neck, "If you choose to keep a secret about some of the things you know, then I'll do the same. I choose to trust you and I hope you can trust me too."

"I don't mean to keep the information I get. I just.."

"I know. Everything you do for me. I will not force you to be honest with me.. " Cut Chu Yao when Mo Yan tried to want to explain, ".. But you have to know, sooner or later I'll find out the truth. Even though I'm very young, you can see that my thinking isn't as old as I'm."

Mo Yan knew even very well that the girl had grown up from her age. Mo Yan had always been attentive to Chu Yao, only that there were some girl temperament that was still beyond her comprehension. One of them was a very calm response to shocking things such as the information that Uncle Tong gave.

That's very unnatural. That calmness is completely unnatural.

Mo Yan returned Chu Yao's embrace. His grip was so tight that the girl moaned. The man loosened his hold but kept the girl he loved locked with his hand.

Chu Yao gently patted the man's back as if the anxiety Mo Yan felt had reached her little heart.

"I will always be by your side. Use me whenever you want. I'll do whatever you want." Mo Yan muttered that was almost whispering. He really does not know what else he can do to ease the burden of the idol.

"Yes, yeah. I know." Reply Chu Yao with a light smile, "I'm fine. You don't have to worry."
