Repairing the Past

Chapter 57

Chu Yao slept soundly the entire day. No matter what his condition and where he is at the moment. For him, a good sleep without nightmares is a very valuable thing.

It is very difficult for him to get enough rest with good quality sleep during this time.

Unhealthy sleep patterns have made his body weight reduced.

For the past four years Chu Yao had to take certain medicines just to make her sleep quietly. And that's not a good thing for his health.

Chu Yao wriggled comfortably. He woke up with a fresh body. His eyeballs rolled around but there was no one in the spacious room but him.

Of all the things he saw, there was one thing that caught Chu Yao's attention, namely that several dishes of food had been available just like that on the table.

Still warm. It was as if it had been deliberately provided by someone for him.

Chu Yao's stomach began to rebel. The hunger is beginning to feel. But he did not intend to eat the dishes. He waits. Wait and wait until the dish is cold. But that figure never came.

Chu Yao tidied the table and put all the dishes back into the tray. He took it out and handed it to one of the guards standing at the gate.

"Bring this! His Majesty is not in the room. I'll tell you if he comes back and wants to eat."

The guard looked at the tray and Chu Yao alternately, "doesn't you like the food?"

Chu Yao was silently astonished by the man's question, "like..?"

"His Majesty told us to prepare this meal for you. But it doesn't seem to suit the taste of the lady. " The guard answered with a disappointed face.

Chu Yao was speechless. The guard's words made Chu Yao feel uneasy.

"I'll get you a new menu for Miss."

"No need!" Intercept Chu Yao as the man nearly left carrying the cold food.

"I'll take this. The rest just go back to the kitchen." Chu Yao added with two father fruits in both hands.

Chu Yao simply sailed out of the pavilion without caring for the anxious look on the guards' faces. He did not realize that his actions that came out of the pavilion without permission would get the guards there into trouble.

Chu Yao truly did not know. Even so, boredom had made him almost spit out his head.

Every time just doing the activity of reading books and sleeping, creating a sense of saturation that is increasingly accumulating on him.

Mumpung Mo Yan was not there, Chu Yao would breathe fresh air as much as her heart.

From a distance, he heard the noise of a fight. He approached and saw clearly a group of soldiers attacking each other blindly.

Chu Yao bribed the patao casually while narrowing her eyes. He observed the pattern of fights that occurred. Although both wear the clothes of the royal warrior Alorra, but there are two significant differences.

Their techniques are different. Chu Yao's intuition said that the resting place of this emperor had been entered by a reliable intruder.

Only people with high swordsmanship and martial arts skills could break into the security system of the place.

From afar, the newly arrived Shen Ruo Nan and Guo Wang troupe immediately took part. They have joined the resistance.

"Miss Fu stay away! It's dangerous!" Raung Shen Ruo Nan while giving a slash to one of the intruders.

"Woi doctor miss, hurry up and go! it's battle! not a medical place!" Shouted Guo Wang with a face that was annoyed at Chu Yao's relaxed demeanor.

Chu Yao bent her face hearing Guo Wang's words just now. He grew angry while continuing to put the patao in his mouth.

While coolly chewing while watching the fight, one of the intruders was pushed back due to Shen Ruo Nan's kick. Chu Yao dodged quickly but the rest of the patero in her left hand bounced off and fell into the fish pond.

"My papao..." Shouted Chu Yao towards the father who had become the grab of the koi fish in the pond.

Guo Wang snorted even more annoyed, "This woman! Crying over the food"

Instead of wanting to scold, Guo Wang was instead dumbstruck by Chu Yao's swift movements that killed two intruders at once with a dagger in his hand.

The woman nimbly hacked at the intruders and easily compensated for Shen Ruo Nan's movements.

Inevitably the two young nobles had to admit that the female martial was not evil.

Chu Yao who was still annoyed by the patao, was unaware of the look of admiration that Shen Ruo Nan's black eyes were emitting.

"You need to change my lunch schedule!" Said Chu Yao while giving a twisting stab at the stomach of the last intruder he had already slaughtered.

The intruder groaned and fell down with a pull on the thin veil that Chu Yao was wearing.

The cloth automatically detached and made Chu Yao flinch. He quickly grabbed the cloth and immediately put it back on. But he was a little late, the incident made everyone there see his true appearance.

Chu Yao surrounded the gaze with a paled face. I hope no one realizes what happened just now. And it seemed that Chu Yao's feelings were indeed exaggerated. Everyone doesn't care about their worries. In fact, everyone behaved as if they had never seen anything.

"Take care of all these bodies as soon as possible before your majesty arrives!" Shen Ruo Nan's orders to the soldiers in front of him.

All the soldiers deftly cleared the crime scene with Guo Wang's orders. In an instant the place was as it was.

"Miss Fu. " Call Shen Ruo Nan when Chu Yao intends to leave the place, "i'm quite surprised by the martial skills that Miss Fu has."

Chu Yao remained silent without giving any response and turned around but was again stopped by the man.

"Miss Fu, has the noble condition improved? I heard that her health had declined and she had to receive Miss Fu's personal care."

"He has improved. Isn't his majesty able to chat with the people there." Chu Yao replied as she pointed towards the large gazebo at the end of the garden.

Shen Ruo Nan smiled, "oh, it seems that Xue Ying's father and sister have already come."

Chu Yao looked at the entourage with a complex feeling. His lips suddenly clenched tightly. The silhouette of Mo Yan who was walking firmly accompanied by the spoiled motion of the prime minister's daughter beside him made Chu Yao's heart rustle.

Chu Yao tightly gripped the dagger that was still in her palm, then turned her face to Shen Ruo Nan.

"If you may ask, does the young master know where the intruder came from?"

Shen Ruo Nan turned her head and replied in a soft voice, "i don't know. Attacks like this don't happen once or twice and the killers don't just come from one place."

"That's why this kind of thing happens so often?"

"Not really, but the last year has been getting more and more." Shen Ruo Nan replied with a slight frown.

Chu Yao pulled the man's arm abruptly and turned her body around. There was a small wound on Shen Ruo Nan's right back.

"You're hurt.." Said Chu Yao flatly.

"Can Miss Fu treat me with this?" Shen Ruo Nan asked as she handed him a pot of medicine from behind her clothes. Chu Yao did not reply but her hand accepted the item without a doubt.

"Don't move!" Chu Yao immediately sprinkled the medicine onto the wound sustained by Shen Ruo Nan.

The man let out a soft hiss-like sound due to the pain caused by the sprinkling of medicine. Due to a custom, Chu Yao instantly gave the same treatment as Mo Yan when he treated Shen Ruo Nan.

Mo Yan who was already standing in front of them suddenly hardened his jaw.

"What are you guys doing?"

Mo Yan's heavy voice sounded cold and pierced the hearing of Chu Yao and Shen Ruo Nan. The two men gasped for a moment.

"Miss Fu helped to treat my wounds, your majesty. " It was clearly Shen Ruo Nan who was supported directly by Chu Yao behind her. The woman pointed out the pot of medicine and shook it towards the sharp-eyed man.

"Sister injured?" Xue Ying asked as he walked over to the elder brother and was accompanied by the same worries by the prime minister.

"I'm fine. Father and sister need not worry."

Mo Yan snickered towards Chu Yao to the extent that the woman had to distance herself from the Shen family in front of her.

"Is there chaos here?" Mo Yan asked in a full probing tone.

"Yes your honor. Some time ago there was a group of intruders disguised as soldiers here. And we've managed to knock them out." Shen Ruo Nan replied as she explained with courtesy.

Mo Yan nodded slowly then called out to a servant, "prepare the guest room! take the prime minister and the others to their rooms to rest!"

The servant obeyed the emperor's order and went to prepare everything.

"Great master Shen please rest, tomorrow we will continue the conversation."

Mo Yan walked past the prime minister and his two children just like that. Although imperceptible, Chu Yao caught Shen Xue Ying staring spoiledly full of cravings at the silvery-white-haired man.

"Genit!" Chu Yao muttered that was barely audible to the ears of a human in general.

But not for Mo Yan. The man clearly heard the remark that Chu Yao made. Regardless of the norm of politeness, the man grabbed Chu Yao's head and brought the woman to follow him into his private pavilion.

"Tu, wait.. His majesty.. I can walk by myself normally.." Chu Yao muttered while fixing her untidy hair ties due to Mo Yan's treatment.

The man stopped then glanced sharply at Chu Yao. The woman suddenly turned to stone due to Mo Yan's intimidating gaze.

Without saying much, the ice face again pulled Chu Yao's arm and led her into the room.

As soon as he closed the door, A-Wei was already standing in front of them with two packs in her hand.

"I order you to tell everyone that I don't want to be bothered one whole day!" Mo Yan said in a cold voice that echoed throughout the room.

"I deserve to be punished!" Answer A-Wei who immediately knelt down.

"Do you have any reason why the prime minister came with his insignificant entourage today?!"

A-Wei felt increasingly guilty and lowered her face, "the prime minister said he would give an answer to the noble letter the day after tomorrow. But... I did not expect that the prime minister would meet his majesty one day earlier with his children and entourage."

"So you think the prime minister is to blame?" Mo Yan asked with great emphasis.

A-Wei was trembling and frightened, "servant does not dare!"

"Back to the training room! Take the punishment of walking with both hands for an hour!" Mo Yan said to A-Wei without further ado.

A-Wei nodded obediently and immediately carried out the punishment after handing over the two parcels to Chu Yao.

Mo Yan took a deep breath and walked towards the bookkeeping room accompanied by Chu Yao's footsteps behind him.

There's no talk. The atmosphere was quiet and awkward for both of them. Chu Yao bit her lips and turned her gaze to the row of books neatly lined up on the mahogany shelves.

Whereas Mo Yan had to refocus on the duties of the state he was responsible for.

Occasionally his dark bead steals a glance towards the woman who walks back and forth in front of him.

He smelled a smile. Then switch to the thing hanging in the woman's hand. The noisy sounds of the two packs in Chu Yao's hands scattered Mo Yan's focus.

With his mainstay flat face, he asked, "want to when will you bring the parcel? Why don't you eat it?"

"Oh, I guess this belongs to your majesty." Chu Yao replied innocently, "no one said this to me." Add the woman who sounds like a scolding.

Mo Yan simply pulled the tip of his lips and walked over to Chu Yao. He took the package and opened it.

There are five different variants of the patao in one package and various cakes in the other package.

That innocent handsome face thrust out the food in his hand casually. Making Chu Yao dazed in confusion.

'Since when did he buy it?'

'Why is he treating me like this?

Chu Yao.

Could it be that Mo Yan knew who he really was?

If so, why didn't the man unmask? It was even as if following the storyline that Chu Yao had already screenplayed.

But otherwise, why would the man's treatment be so much that Chu Yao thought excessively. It was as if the young man had deliberately made him big-headed or just used himself.

While Chu Yao was wrestling with all her perceptions, Mo Yan made no difference. The man followed the intuition and premonition he felt.

Although it didn't say much yet Mo Yan's brain thought hard. Lots of questions popping up there.

If indeed the woman in front of him was Chu Yao, why did she not open her disguise? Instead, act as if they are new to each other and have no relationship.

although there was something that might make the woman keep her reason a secret, could Mo Yan not be someone to share both joy and sorrow with?

Doesn't she know she's reliable.

Hadn't they both been through a lot together before.

So what else was the woman's goal to lock her mouth in front of Mo Yan?

Even if he was not Chu Yao. Why are all his gestures so exactly the same as the woman he loves. From the nature, attitude and ability to play the dagger and martial arts that he has exactly the same as the woman.

'Was Chu Yao deliberately avoiding me? Or even hate me for not trying to save her four years ago?'

'Will he not like me because of my terrible physical changes?'

Mo Yan was skeptical. It felt like pulling a thin veil that covered part of the woman's face. He wants to ask. Confirm all the assumptions in his heart and mind.

But he can't.

Such arbitrary actions will not make any human being happy. Especially if that woman was Chu Yao. A stubborn girl who is naive and a little arrogant.

'Until when do we have to play with cats like this? I'm so tired.' Both are in simultaneously.
