Chapter 383 - The Truth (10) (1/2)
Yao Ying and Yao Ling were looking at each other helplessly. They had thought that no one would pay attention to that abnormality. However, choking a person without hands was quite a big event. However, it seemed like nothing would be able to escape Feng Yong Rui's keen eyes. It certainly gave them a headache ah~!
How to explain this matter to Feng Yong Rui so the latter wouldn't feel suspicious?
And maybe... there were also several keen eyes out there, for example --- the other officials could be paying attention to this matter as well. Honestly, not all of them were stupid and could be deceived easily. It was just some of them were deceived because they were afraid of ghosts, however, a few of them were just like Feng Yong Rui by second-guessing everything.
Fortunately, they were disguising themselves so they didn't show off their real face. After she went back to the Shu Kingdom, Yao Ling's identity would be safe. Hopefully...
Xiao Fang asked in surprise, ”Didn't you arrange it as well, Father?” Xiao Fang had her suspicion as well but she didn't say anything about Yao Ling's secret even to her own father. Besides, she wasn't sure whether it was indeed Yao Ling's work or not.
What if she accidentally said something wrong? So, it was better if she pretended that she knew nothing.
Feng Yong Rui shook his head and answered in a low voice, ”I didn't arrange anything because my main target was still the Han Emperor. Why should I care about a mere woman? I thought that once I got ahold of the regent position, it would be easier for me to kill her.”
After pausing for a little while, he continued talking, ”That matter was really too weird ah~! If it was about the palace guards' leader's death, it was indeed my doing. It was done by my people who were specialized in ȧssassination and we had planned it all along so my people continuously learned this special way to kill a person. However, there was actually concrete and real possible way to do that --- using thin strings and inner qi. However... what about the choking? How could people choke someone else without touching the latter's neck? It was really abnormal!”
No matter how he thought about it, Feng Yong Rui couldn't find a reasonable explanation ah~!
Feng Yong Rui was still feeling curious but he would never guess that this was Yao Ling's doing, besides, he didn't really believe in mystical power in the first place. When the Han Emperor was busy imprisoning Aunt Yue back then, he just thought that the latter was very stupid for believing such a questionable power. In his eyes, it was just a fraud thing.
Rong Qiu looked at Yao Ling and when he saw the latter tried to blink innocently at the others while looking at him helplessly, he understood that it must have been Yao Ling's doing. He started to notice that Yao Ling was as emotional as Su Wan and those emotions affected their powers as well. He knew he could trust Feng Yong Rui but he still didn't want to let too many people know about Yao Ling's power. Knowing this matter would only put people in danger, besides, the temptation was too big.
Once people who were in power heard about this, he knew they would want Yao Ling to do this and that for them --- just like how his mother ended up. He didn't say that Feng Yong Rui would become like that, but he was just being cautious.
Rong Qiu cleared his throat and asked, ”Really? Such a thing could happen?” He pretended to be oblivious and didn't believe in Feng Yong Rui's words. Pretending to be stupid and know nothing was the best thing to do at this moment.
Feng Yong Rui nodded his head vigorously. ”It's true... Really! You can ask the kids if you don't believe me,” he said while his gaze was skimming over those kids.
The youngsters quickly murmured the agreement. Everyone had seen it clearly so how could they deny it ah~?!
Rong Qiu asked in a serious tone, ”Maybe... it's the real ghost's doing?!” He didn't believe in ghosts as well but he just needed to find a plausible reason.
