It was midnight. The moon was fuzzy and the dogs were barking in the alleys with a mixture of crying that made it extremely horrifying.
”Mother, mother, I seem to hear someone crying.” The young toddler trembled and squeezed against the young women's chest.
”Hush, don't say such things. Just quietly go to sleep otherwise a monster will come catch you.”
”Oh, I won't say anything. Ghost, please don't come get me.” The toddler rushed and covered his head with a blanket and obediently went to sleep.
The young woman laughed and helped him tuck him in. When she stood up to prepare to close the windows that were blown open by the wind, she suddenly saw a shadow flash by as the weeping noises got louder.
”……..” The young woman froze, then murmured to herself, ”I must be too tired. It has to be an illusion.”
Closing the window, the alley once again recovered its silence with only the sounds of the midnight wind howling . Everything seemed to be normal.
Being forced to sign off on some earth shattering reparations in which her gains did not make up for her losses as well as having to pay some interest in advance, Xia Yuqing happily left the jail room to go receive her reward.
Feng Tingye watched her distant figure, looking pensive, then quietly called: ”An Yi”
An Yi = Hidden one
”An Yi is here, what orders does Master have?”
An Yi was the previous emperor's measure to protect Feng Tingye from those who had ambitious hearts and might have wanted to do something to harm him. She was one of the twelve that was specially fostered into a secret group.
An Men Sh Er Wei, each and every single one of their were exceptionally skilled with rare martial arts skills. Originally these people were entrenched themselves with key officials in the government observing their every single move and at the right time would inform Feng Tingye, so they wouldn't catch him off guard. It could be said that they have contributed quite a bit for last time's Prince Rui's incident. Because recently Feng Tingye had encountered so many a.s.sa.s.sin attacks, one was especially a.s.signed to guard Feng Tingye for any unexpected circ.u.mstances. However this kind of person was now going to be used for something else.
”Catch up to that Ya Tou and see what she's trying to do. Also make sure to protect her and the child inside her. That a.s.sa.s.sin might have a thread of bad intention, kill with no worries.”
”Yes.”
Feng Tingye looked at the spot the An Wei disappeared from, his lip turned into a smirk. Let's see what kind of mischief this Ya Tou is up to!
Within a dusky prison cell with not even the slightest suns.h.i.+ne, the damp air filled the slight chill in the room. Silent all around, one could only hear the faintest dripping of water.
Li Yuan had already sat in this jail cell for a total of ten days. Even though she didn't receive any torments during these ten days, but the tranquil before the storm increasingly made her heart harbour worries.
