THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT
CHAPTER 34. The dreams?
***Emperor Wei's palace***
Emperor Wei was listening to the report from Xu Feng, the head of the palace guard.
"Emperor Wei! The palace was found dead in a well with a man dressed in all black. The identity of the man was A Mu and was one of the young soldiers who belonged to the patrol group. Slave found a scrap of will in his room."
"What is the will?" ask Emperor Wei.
"A Mu claimed to be herself and the palace ladies were lovers. They planned to escape from the palace and needed money so they wanted to seize the jewelry belonging to Miss Li Chang Le, but it accidentally made Miss Li Chang Le fall into the pond so that A Mu and the palace attendants decided to commit suicide together for fear of their families getting punished," Xu Feng replied.
All the perfect evidence that was plastered in plain sight made Emperor Wei even more certain that the mastermind of the murder of Li Chang Le must have come from one of the people living inside the back palace.
A Mu and the dead palace lady were only scapegoats and chess pieces that could be removed easily.
"Close this case, but you keep your eyes on the back palace secretly!" emperor Wei's Order.
"Prepare to do it, Emperor Wei!" replied Xu Feng.
Moments later after Xu Feng's departure, Eunuch Xiao Duo met Emperor Wei and delivered a message from Wei Bu Yi.
Emperor Wei was overjoyed to learn that Li Chang Le was cured and normal like any ordinary girl.
"Good! Physician Chen's medicine is indeed the best! Eunuch Cao, prepare many rare and precious plants to take home Eunuch Xiao Duo. Tell me that's a gift from me to Li Chang Le to make her body healthier when she marries Wei Bu Yi later!"
"Hamba represents Prince Wei Bu Yi to thank Emperor Wei for his generosity!" eunuch Xiao Duo.
News of Li Chang Le's recovery was made known to Queen Wen five hours later. This was because the spies he placed near Emperor Wei had been removed by Xu Feng.
The murder of Li Chang Le caused Xu Feng to tighten security around Emperor Wei. It even replaced the guards who were in charge of protecting Emperor Wei with the guards who were the upbringing of Xu Feng himself.
Queen Wen's spies were among those transferred by Xu Feng. Of course Queen Wen was furious when she got news of Li Chang Le's recovery.
Even so, for a while Queen Wen did not dare to act rashly towards Li Chang Le. Queen Wen hinted Emperor Wei was starting to get suspicious of her.
Queen Wen could only vent her anger by breaking the large urn display inside the room.
The palace ladies who were serving Queen Wen cleaned the shards of the urn swiftly and left the room so as not to be subjected to the anger of Queen Wen.
Eunuch Ma, the only person still inside the room. Eunuch Ma stood behind Queen Wen and began massaging both of Queen Wen's shoulders gently.
"There's an important letter to Queen Wen! I'm sure Queen Wen's mood must have improved after reading it."
Eunuch Ma gave a small paper scroll to Queen Wen. Queen Wen knew the letter was sent through pigeons by her allies.
Eunuch Ma's words made Queen Wen open the scroll enthusiastically. A cynical smile rose at the corner of Queen Wen's lips after reading the contents of the letter.
"Wei Bu Yi! Prepare to die!" inner Queen Wen.
Queen Wen gave the letter to Eunuch Ma. As usual, Eunuch Ma burned the letter until it was left.
Queen Wen leaned her back on the chair and closed her eyes tightly while enjoying a gentle massage on the shoulders of Eunuch Ma.
***The residence of Prince Wei Bu Yi***
Wei Bu Yi and Ying Ying walked into the large horse carriage that was already waiting in front of the residence.
While Tan Xiang, Eunuch Da Duo, and Eunuch Xiao Duo lifted the prayer equipment objects onto the horse's back and tied them tightly.
The journey to Qing Qiu was very far and passed through the forest with a winding road so that the horse carriage was pulled by four horses.
Tan Xiang sat next to the horse coachman controlling the reins, while Eunuch Da Duo and Eunuch Xiao Duo sat on the horse's back.
The sound of horse legs echoing along the way. Ying Ying opened the window curtain of the horse carriage while enjoying the natural scenery out there.
Ying Ying's two hands tightly held the small urn containing the ashes of her fox. Ying Ying was already impatient to arrive at the Qing Qiu cave as soon as possible.
While Wei Bu Yi was sitting on the other side while reading the document with a serious face. Wei Bu Yi occasionally enjoys tea served on the table.
Wei Bu Yi's horse-drawn carriage was indeed designed for long trips so that Wei Bu Yi could rest in peace there so that all the equipment needed during the trip was very complete.
Wei Bu Yi likes to spend time reading military documents and enjoying warm tea.
30 Minutes passed quickly. Ying Ying closed the window curtain and stared at Wei Bu Yi, then his attention focused on the three-tiered wooden basket on the table.
Ying Ying remembered Tan Xiang preparing the basket for her so Ying Ying changed seats and sat across from Wei Bu Yi. Between the two of them was only hindered by a rectangular-sized table.
Ying Ying placed the ketchup jar on the table carefully before opening each level of the wooden basket.
"Kue Ang Ku, lotus cake, and my favorite Pao!" ying Ying exclaimed as he clapped.
One glance from Wei Bu Yi made Ying Ying realize she was not alone.
"Prince Wei Bu Yi wants to eat?" ask Ying Ying.
"I don't like sweet foods" replied Wei Bu Yi.
Ying Ying took out one piece of lotus cake and finished it in just two mouthfuls. Then taste Ang Ku Cake and also Pao.
"Tasting the cook of Prince Wei Bu Yi's Residence was delicious. Better than my house cook."
"Now you will be the young mistress there," Wei Bu Yi said, without distracting from the documents in her hands.
"Yes. I can eat good every day."
Ying Ying's innocent answer made a small smile decorate at the corner of Wei Bu Yi's lips in mere seconds and was invisible to Ying Ying.
Ying Ying continued his activity of tasting the small pastries before him in a carefree mood until the three types of cakes were left with only one fruit each.
Ying Ying deliberately set it aside for Wei Bu Yi because the trip to Qing Qiu was very far away.
Ying Ying still clearly remembered the moment Li Chang Le brought him back to General Li Jin's Residence from Qing Qiu, there were no eating places along the way.
"Prince Wei Bu Yi! All this cake for you!"
Ying Ying pushed one of the baskets containing the three kinds of cakes towards Wei Bu Yi. Ying Ying deliberately combined the three cakes into one basket.
Wei Bu Yi placed the military documents on the table and stared at the basket before him.
"Are you full?"
Wei Bu Yi did not refuse Ying Ying's gift, instead worrying that Ying Ying was not yet full.
"Yes! I'm full!"
Ying Ying felt thirsty so as to pour the tea from the teapot into Wei Bu Yi's cup, then into a new cup for her.
Wei Bu Yi stared intensely at the bell pendulum bracelet on Ying Ying's wrist.
Last night Wei Bu Yi did not meet Ying Ying so had not had time to ask about the bell pendulum bracelet. Wei Bu Yi slept in the guest room and let Ying Ying sleep in her room.
"Chang Le's! Since we are allies, I want you to be honest!"
"Why is Prince Wei Bu Yi?" ying Ying asked with a puzzled look on her face as she felt that she had never lied about what she had told Wei Bu Yi in the study yesterday.
Wei Bu Yi pointed at the bell pendulum bracelet. "Is this bracelet a magic thing?"
"It's just an ordinary bracelet and it's already broken," Ying Ying replied honestly.
"Why did Prince Wei Bu Yi think this bracelet was a magic item?"
"I saved you because I heard a loud bell and the sound of water. This bracelet also let out a white light so I can find you in the pool."
"Chimes? White light? Is it my marbles that signal help to Prince Wei Bu Yi?" inner Ying Ying.
"Where did you get this bracelet?"
"This bracelet is the necklace that Ying Ying's neck has been wearing all this time!"
"Ying Ying?" wei Bu Yi asked as he touched the small urn.
"Yes!"
Ying Ying's mind was reminded of the magic power she could possess upon arriving at Qing Qiu. During this time Li Chang Le was known as an ordinary girl who did not have any power so it would feel strange if Li Chang Le suddenly had magic power.
Although Ying Ying was going to try to hide her magic power from others, Ying Ying was sure Wei Bu Yi could figure it out quickly.
"Actually I've been having the same dream since I first fell into the pool."
"What dream?" wei Bu Yi asked as she looked at Ying Ying's serious face.
"Every night Ying Ying is looking for me. It turns out that Ying Ying is a hundred-year-old fox demon and wants me to help her get revenge on Chang Ru and Wei Wu Xian."
"A hundred-year-old fox smile?"
"Yes. Aye! Ying Ying asked me to bring his ashes to Qing Qiu and meditate inside the cave. I'll get some great magic power!" ying Ying said enthusiastically.
