294 A Legend (2/2)

However, Aunt Yue could remember that he became more easily agitated and angry... Yao Ling didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. Did it mean she had to glue herself to Yao Ying all the time? She shuddered at the thought... If that really happened, how could they handle all the matter at Wang Fu ah~!

Well.. they probably should explore this matter, so they would be able to set their boundaries about what they should and should not do.

”Then, what happened next?” Yao Ling asked. It was important to know about her father first at this point.

Aunt Yue started to reminisce once again.

Of course, the Han Emperor had been guessing what their next move would be. Someone gave the Han Emperor a piece of advice --- he should separate the mother-son pair just in case they would plan out something else because after the prisoners were released, they didn't have any more bargaining chips.

Thus, it was decided that Rong Qiu would be taken as a hostage in the capital. They promised to treat him good but who knew? Judging from the Han Emperor's lecherous behavior, he didn't seem to be the type who would keep his promise.

To prolong it, Aunt Yue had told them that she needed the special soil from her homeland to be able to predict the future with a better chance. If Aunt Yue couldn't predict accurately, then she would be rendered useless. Thus, they didn't separate them but they constricted their movements by assigning a lot of guards --- triple times from the current guards.

The Han Emperor sent his men to take a big amount of soil, even though he had been warned that there would be a plague there. He didn't even care whether his own men would die because of it, as long as he got the soil then other things didn't matter. He didn't even tell his men that there was a plague there. Yes, he was that selfish and yet, he said that it was for the greater good of their kingdom.

This was why the forbidden place was built at Crescent Lake. The soil under this forbidden place was especially taken from their homeland and it was compatible with this place.

The people that were sent there some were dead due to the plague and some were able to survive --- but they were already contaminated by the ugly plague, so once they arrived back at the Han Kingdom, they were dead too. Only the soil was left...

Aunt Yue sighed, ”This place was built with people's blood...” She didn't lie to the Han Emperor about the soil, but she still felt guilty about it. Since then, she could tell the fortune more accurately than before. However, she couldn't sleep soundly at night for several months because her mind kept thinking about those victims.

”After that... did the Han Emperor really take my father to the capital?” Yao Ling asked. If the answer was yes, she would certainly look for him too when she arrived there. At first, she only wanted to help Xiao Fang and didn't have a special attachment with the Han Emperor, but now... it was different. She had a personal grudge towards him... he was the one who ruined her family!

Even if it was instigated by other people, he was still the one who got the final say! Yao Ling's eyes were burning with hatred! The Han Emperor was really hateful! He was the incarnation of the devil! She would do everything to help Xiao Fang seek her revenge! No... not Xiao Fang's revenge... but hers too!

Aunt Yue sighed... this was the complicated matter started... her son didn't know anything about it, because this was a side plan that she had concocted on her own... ”I will tell you more shocking truth...” Aunt Yue said. She was afraid that Yao Ling would hate her for doing this... but she had no choice back then. Her son was the most important people in her life. She would sacrifice anything for him. Anything!
