1845 Trap 1 (1/2)
The Shadow Moon Palace Lord was made to unconsciously swallow the elixir. And as he was being made to swallow it, with his eyes still closed, he had been calling out: ”Little Ye, Little Ye.”
Yue Ye's face had then just smiled coldly.
When the Shadow Moon Palace Lord woke up still feeling highly groggy, the skies outside was already turning to dusk. He shook his head and without knowing the reason why, he was feeling an immense pain in his head.
Due to his deteriorating health, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord had seldom drunk wine in the past few years. Even when he drank, it was in very small amounts and he had not been so drunk for a very long time. He then thought that it must be due to him having not drunk for so long that he was now feeling unwell.
After his mind cleared up a little, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord's gaze then looked around him. He then found Yue Ye fallen asleep with her head resting upon the side of his table. Looking at the side profile of Yue Ye's face who was fast asleep, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord's heart was feeling mighty glad. But with the throbbing pain in his head, he was in mood to entertain any other thoughts.
”Ungh.” Yue Ye awoke as she rubbed at her eyes, looking at the Shadow Moon Palace Lord to smile with a kind of charming innocence.
”My Lord, you're awake.”
The Shadow Moon Palace Lord nodded as he massaged his head with his hand. ”Little Ye drank too much as well?”
Yue Ye nodded her head.
The Shadow Moon Palace Lord then smiled and said: ”That wine is a little stronger and Little Ye's tolerance against wine wouldn't be able to hold up against it. I saw you sleeping so soundly and I did not want to wake you.” The Shadow Moon Palace Lord said cleverly, making it sound as if Yue Ye was the only one hungover and he was absolutely brimming with energy.
But in truth, it was the exact opposite.
Yue Ye knew what the Shadow Moon Palace Lord was thinking in his mind but did not expose him and just went on to put in an innocent and naive expression, laughing to herself in her heart.
[Go on and pretend! You totally deserved that whacking without even knowing a thing about it!]
