THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT
CHAPTER 7. Secret
***Li Chang Le Bedroom***
Tan Xiang scanned Ying Ying's face intently. Tan Xiang found it strange that his young lady could ask about Prince Wei Bu Yi smoothly and in long sentences.
It was as if the current Chang Le was not Chang Le with the nature of a five-year-old child.
"No….Miss Chang Le is healed?" ask Tan Xiang.
"Yes," Ying Ying replied briefly.
Ever since the transmigration into Chang Le's body, Ying Ying was monitoring and observing secretly the servants in General Li Jin's Residence.
Ying Ying had to make sure that anyone who was on Chang Le's side and not the spy that Chang Ru had placed on Chang Le's side.
Tan Xiang was among the servants loyal to Chang Le so Ying Ying trusted him.
"How did she recover?" tanya Tan Xiang was enthusiastic.
During these two years, Physician Huo who was the senior healer of the Wei kingdom treated Chang Le regularly every month, but Chang Le never recovered and still acted like a child.
"So my head hurt a lot because the wound was open again and vaguely my memory recovered as before" Ying Ying replied.
"It is fitting that Miss Chang Le was pensive when Physician Chang treated her earlier. It must be that the memories that appear make him confused," Inner Tan Xiang.
"Thank God! Great lord and all must be delighted to hear this good news. I'll tell young lady now!" tan Xiang said.
"Wait a minute Tan Xiang!" said Ying Ying.
"What's the matter Miss Chang Le?" ask Tan Xiang.
"You have to keep it a secret from everyone. I will tell them all when the time is right" Ying Ying replied.
Tan Xiang looked at the serious face of his young miss. Tan Xiang felt Ying Ying was hiding something from him, but his status as a servant made Tan Xiang not dare to ask any further.
Ying Ying understood Tan Xiang's heart intent. Ying Ying was unwilling to hide the truth from Tan Xiang so that the personal servant could be wary of his enemy.
"There are important things you should know, Tan Xiang! Chang Ru stabbed Ying Ying's body with a poisonous needle and threw it into the pool of water" Ying Ying said.
"What's? Why is Miss Chang Ru evil towards Ying Ying? Ying Ying had never bothered her all this time. Ying Ying is a good fox," Tan Xiang said.
Ying Ying looked at Tan Xiang's teary eyes. All this time Ying Ying knew Tan Xiang was very sincere about loving him so surely Tan Xiang was saddened by his death.
"Chang Ru's goal is to make me die! Ying Ying is just a chess piece to lure me into the pool" Ying Ying said.
"The kidnapping earlier this afternoon was also Chang Ru. Chang Ru deliberately kept you away from my side, just like the incident on the night of the Moon Cake Festival," Ying Ying continued.
Tan Xiang was silent for a moment to think carefully about Ying Ying's words. Tan Xiang vividly recalled his stomach ache the night Chang Le fell into the pond for eating the small cake given by Chen Chen, Chang Ru's personal servant.
Likewise, with the incident earlier this afternoon, Tan Xiang lost track of Ying Ying as well because of Chen Chen.
"The Great Lord's entourage will arrive in the capital in two weeks. Tan Xiang will send a letter to young Master Feng Xi so that they can hasten his return" Tan Xiang said.
Although Tan Xiang did not know what the main purpose of Chang Ru killing Chang Le was, Tan Xiang would not let that happen again.
The martial arts he mastered might only be able to protect Chang Le in a short time so that the return of General Li Jin's entourage was Tan Xiang's hope for Chang Le's life.
"No need, Tan Xiang! We'll continue the conversation, Bai Lu is outside!" said Ying Ying as he looked towards the door and lay on the bed.
Ying Ying could clearly hear Bai Lu's voice talking to the maid and was heading to her room.
Tan Xiang helped pull the blanket over Ying Ying's body swiftly. Tan Xiang thought her young lady was hallucinating because she did not hear Bai Lu's voice at all.
The sound of knocking on the door made both of Tan Xiang's eyes round big. "Miss Chang Le's instinct is very sharp," Inner Tan Xiang.
Tan Xiang ran over small and opened the door quickly. "Madam!" greet Tan Xiang politely.
"How is Chang Le? Did Chang Le tell you how it disappeared this afternoon?" bai Lu asked in an investigative tone.
"Miss Chang Le just complained that her head hurt so much because the wound on her forehead was open again. After that, Miss Chang Le fell asleep," Tan Xiang replied smoothly.
"I brought the cooked medicine of Physician Chen. You'll pass it to Chang Le when he wakes up" Bai Lu said.
"Okay, young lady!" answer Tan Xiang.
Tan Xiang took out a small bowl containing concoction medicine from the hands of Chen Chen, Chang Ru's personal servant.
"Be careful hot, Brother Tan Xiang!" said Chen Chen.
Chen Chen Chen was a year younger compared to Tan Xiang. The relationship between the two is very close. Tan Xiang had already considered Chen Chen like his own biological younger brother, but Ying Ying's words earlier made Tan Xiang realize that Chen Chen was being kind to him because there was a certain purpose and it was definitely Chang Ru who ordered Chen Chen to do that.
"Yes!" tan Xiang replied briefly.
A while later, Bai Lu and Chen Chen left Chang Le's bedroom.
Ying Ying immediately got up from the bed after the sound of Bai Lu and Chen Chen's footsteps was not heard anymore.
"Tan Xiang's! What are you doing?" ask Ying Ying.
Tan Xiang lifted the silver needle whose tip was dipped into the concoction medicine bowl, then showed it to Ying Ying.
"Miss Chang Le! This silver needle will turn black if it is poisonous. Young master Feng Xi gave it to Tan Xiang to protect the miss," Tan Xiang replied honestly.
"You're so smart, Tan Xiang!" puji Ying Ying's.
"Tan Xiang promised to protect Miss Chang Le well until the Great Lord's return!" tan Xiang said solemnly.
"I told you all of those truths so that you can be more careful of Chang Ru, Bai Lu, as well as the other servants," Ying Ying said.
"Tan Xiang understands!" tan Xiang replied while nodding his head.
During the two days of silently observing and using her remote listening skills, Ying Ying knew Bai Lu also knew of Chang Ru's plan to kill Chang Le at the Moon Cake Festival.
Everything was because Chang Ru had been envious of everything Chang Le had. Chang Le's beauty as well as General Li Jin's affection towards Chang Le exceeded Chang Ru's affection.
Besides that the idiot Chang Le was lucky to be the fiance of the crown prince of Wei Kingdom. Chang Ru wanted to snatch everything from Chang Le's hands.
The rumors circulating outside that the upcoming crown princess was an idiot girl, were also spread by Chang Ru so that Wei Wu Xian became embarrassed.
Wei Wu Xian did not resist as Chang Ru tried to approach him and promised to help get rid of Chang Le so that the crown prince's reputation was preserved.
"Two weeks is not a short time. I need to quickly go to Qing Qiu to unseal the magic power," Ying Ying's heart determined.
The words of the Fox Goddess that she would become a human after 100 years of training by passing two experiments, currently proved to be real. It was just that Ying Ying did not expect that he would use Chang Le's body to become a complete human being.
The chance of living for both times and in human form, would be best guarded by Ying Ying. Ying Ying was confident the magic power would protect her and also help her avenge Chang Le's death against everyone who harmed her.
