THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT

CHAPTER 8. Pendulum bell necklace

***Li Chang Le Bedroom***

Tan Xiang handed the concoction medicine bowl to Ying Ying. Ying Ying finished the medicine in such a short period of time.

Tan Xiang took the empty bowl from Ying Ying's hand. "Miss Chang Le must be hungry. Tan Xiang is going to take some small snacks in the kitchen" Tan Xiang said.

"Go! I'm fine here" Ying Ying said.

"Tan Xiang will be back as soon as possible" Tan Xiang said.

Ying Ying smiled slightly seeing Tan Xiang run quickly away from the room. Ying Ying knew Tan Xiang was worried that Chang Ru and the others would take the chance to harm him when Tan Xiang was not around.

"Sister Feng Xi must have loved Miss Chang Le so much that he tried to find the best personal servant to look after and protect Miss Chang Le. Brother Feng Xi would definitely be very sad if he knew Miss Chang Le was dead," Ying Ying said in a small voice and let out a long sigh.

Tan Xiang's skill and loyalty towards Chang Le was beyond doubt, but Ying Ying did not want her to be a burden. Ying Ying wanted to become strong in a short period of time in order to protect himself.

"I have to go to Qing Qiu! How can Bai Lu allow me to go to Qing Qiu?" inner Ying Ying.

Ten minutes later, Tan Xiang walked into the room while carrying a tray containing several small plates.

Tan Xiang arranged all the dishes on the table. Ying Ying sat down and stared at the small cakes with beautiful shapes.

"Please eat, Miss Chang Le!" tan Xiang said as he poured jasmine tea in Ying Ying's cup.

Ying Ying looked at the beads of sweat on Tan Xiang's face. "Tan Xiang's! Be seated! Keep me eating!" bring Ying Ying.

"Thank you Miss Chang Le," Tan Xiang replied.

Ever since the transmigration to Chang Le's body, Ying Ying's daily diet was a concoction of herbs and nutritious food to restore Chang Le's health.

This was the first time that Ying Ying tasted her favorite little cake with Chang Le's body so that Ying Ying enjoyed the lotus cake voraciously.

"Slowly eat. Miss Chang Le ate voraciously like Ying Ying," Tan Xiang said spontaneously.

The lotus cake in Ying Ying's hand fell to the floor because of Tan Xiang's words, while Tan Xiang covered his mouth with both hands and a guilty facial expression.

"Sorry Miss Chang Le! I make Miss sad in light of Ying Ying's tragic death" Tan Xiang said.

"It's okay Tan Xiang! I remember you once saying Ying Ying's body was already buried" Ying Ying said.

"Yes, Miss Chang Le. Tan Xiang himself buried Ying Ying's body," Tan Xiang replied.

"Normally on what day is the ceremony of the death?" ask Ying Ying.

"On the 7th day," replied Tan Xiang.

Ying Ying moved his fingers to count. "Live a few more days," Inner Ying Ying.

"Miss Chang Le wants to hold a death prayer ceremony for Ying Ying?" ask Tan Xiang.

"Yes!" answer Ying Ying.

"Tan Xiang will prepare all the necessary objects for the ceremony" Tan Xiang said.

"Yes. You can prepare everything to be brought to Qing Qiu," Ying Ying said.

"Miss Chang Le wants to pray to Ying Ying at Ying Ying's birthplace," Inner Tan Xiang.

Tan Xiang's conjecture wasn't entirely wrong. Ying Ying was indeed going to use that excuse in order to be allowed to Qing Qiu.

"Tan Xiang's. Bring one of the other servants to help you burn Ying's body. I will bring Ying Ying's ashes to Qing Qiu!" the Ying Ying Order.

"Okay, Miss Chang Le! Tan Xiang will do it now!" answer Tan Xiang.

Actually Ying Ying himself did not have the heart to see his buried body. After all the ashes in a small urn were easier to carry to Qing Qiu later on.

Moreover, Ying Ying had deliberately asked Tan Xiang to invite the other servants to have the maid report it to Bai Lu so that Bai Lu did not suspect and allow him to Qing Qiu.

Tan Xiang used a shovel to dig up the grave of the little fox. Chen Chen who had followed him secretly since Tan Xiang came out of Chang Le's room, immediately approached Tan Xiang.

"Ying Ying's grave!" tan Xiang replied and raised his head to look at Chen Chen.

Chen Chen Chen's shocked and pale face was clearly seen by Tan Xiang. "You must be afraid to see Ying Ying's body because you are one of Ying Ying's killers!" inner Tan Xiang.

Tan Xiang tried to restrain his emotions from slapping and clawing at Chen Chen. Tan Xiang did not want his young miss to be in danger if she acted rashly.

"Did Tan Xiang suspect Ying Ying's death?" inner Chen Chen.

"Why did Brother Tan Xiang dig Ying Ying's grave?" chen Chen asked stammering.

"Miss Chang Le wanted to bring Ying Ying home to where she came from, Qing Qiu. I suggest to bring Ying Ying's ashes over there," Tan Xiang replied.

"It turns out so!" chen Chen said while breathing a sigh of relief.

"Good that Ying Ying's body be set on fire. All the evidence that Miss Chang Ru poisoned Ying Ying would have disappeared," Inner Chen Chen.

"I will help Brother Tan Xiang" Chen Chen said.

Chen Chen took another shovel and started digging. Tan Xiang let him.

A short while later, Tan Xiang opened the cloth wrapping around the body of the white fox. Tan Xiang and Chen Chen were surprised to see the white fox's body still intact and clean. There was not even a smell of corpses evaporating all around.

Tan Xiang stroked the white fur of the little fox gently. "Ying Ying! Miss Chang Le will take you home to Qing Qiu" Tan Xiang said.

"Sister Tan Xiang! I will prepare the embers to burn his body" Chen Chen said.

Chen Chen did not dare to be close to the corpse of the white fox for a long time. A guilty feeling haunted his mind at this moment.

Tan Xiang lifted the body of the white fox and was stunned for a moment when he saw a single blood-red dot on the fine fur of the little fox.

"Pity Ying Ying was killed with a poisonous needle," Inner Tan Xiang.

***Li Chang Le Bedroom***

Thirty minutes later, Tan Xiang handed over a small urn containing the ashes of a small fox to Ying Ying.

Ying Ying tightly hugged the white-colored ceramic jar. "Goodbye Ying Ying. From now on I will live life as Li Chang Le, the first daughter of General Li Jin," Inner Ying Ying.

Tan Xiang's eyes glazed over at the pensive Ying Ying for a long time.

"Miss Chang Le can keep this necklace in memory of Ying Ying. The necklace is still good, but the bell is broken" Tan Xiang said, giving a gold bell pendulum necklace that had been hanging from the neck of the little fox.

Tan Xiang accidentally removed the necklace before burning the white fox's body.

Ying Ying received the pendulum necklace with her right hand, while her left hand was still holding a white ceramic urn.

Miraculously, the marbles resembling real pearls came out from Ying Ying's body and entered into the bell pendulum necklace. Only Ying Ying alone saw him clearly.

"It seems like there is a strong bond between my marbles and Miss Chang Le's gift necklace," Inner Ying Ying.

Ying Ying made the bell pendulum necklace as a bracelet in his hand, then looked towards Tan Xiang.

"Tan Xiang's! Ask Bai Lu for permission regarding our departure to Qing Qiu to pray for Ying Ying on the 7th day" Ying Ying said.

"Okay, Miss Chang Le!" tan Xiang replied obediently.
