Cultivation Goddess
Chapter 400. New Discovery
Concubine Tang continued to observe the movements of the mysterious person approaching Jian Heng's room. Just like him, the man was dressed all in black so as to cover his identity. It is unclear if he is a woman or a man.
The mysterious man put something behind a tree. In the dark it is very difficult to see what things he left there. He quickly left the place.
Concubine Tang followed her behind. He was trying to catch up and find out where the guy was going. However, he lost track when the black shadow of a mysterious person disappeared among the buildings that were the residences of the servants.
'It must be that the mysterious person was looking for the butler who had been killed by Yin'er. If I continue the chase, it is not impossible that Yin'er's plan will fall apart. I'd better stay here for a while and wait for the mysterious person to return.'
Long enough Consort Tang remained silent in her hiding place. However, mysterious people do not appear. Feeling free to be there, Consort Tang decided to return to her lookout.
When it was almost morning, Consort Tang rushed back to his residence. He didn't want anyone to know what he was doing.
"I'm gonna have to scout the mystery man again tonight. Hoam .... I should rest for a while and go check on the thing placed in front of Yin'er's room."
After changing her clothes, Consort Tang laid down her body to rest. In the morning, he should make the most of his time. During the day he can change his sleep at night.
The plan to go to the emperor's palace was doomed to failure as the sun had already risen when Consort Tang woke up. A moment after taking a bath, Fang Yin and Jian Heng were already in his room. Forced he must undo his intention to check for objects that were kept by a mysterious person last night.
"Good morning, Mother. I think I fell asleep really well tonight." Jian Heng started the conversation.
"of course. Uh, you guys are here so early. Are you feeling better?" concubine Tang asked as she looked at the two in turn.
"We're doing fine. I'm going to the study. I'm sorry I couldn't linger to keep you company, Mother. But don't worry, Yin'er will be here to accompany you." Jian Heng moved from his seat after saying goodbye.
"No need to think about my mother. Your work. Remember, avoid using Qi for at least the next three days."
Jian Heng nodded then left Concubine Tang and Fang Yin. Previously, Fang Yin had already explained so many things to her that she was quite understanding of her current condition.
Concubine Tang and Fang Yin escorted Jian Heng to the front door. After being completely out of sight, Consort Tang closed the door tightly then brought Fang Yin deeper into his room. His face looked serious and provoked the curiosity of his interlocutors.
"Did you find anything suspicious?" guess Fang Yin when the two were already back sitting in front of a table.
Concubine Tang nodded. He then brought his mouth closer to Fang Yin's ear and told her what happened last night in a soft voice. Although there was no one there, it could have been someone passing by and hearing their conversation.
Fang Yin's eyeballs rounded upon hearing the news. His mind was almost the same as Consort Tang who felt that a mysterious person was looking for a butler. Now he could not wait to see what was placed under a tree in front of his room.
Impatiently Fang Yin said, "Mother, I want to see the thing placed in front of my room. Can we go now?"
Gayung got together because Concubine Tang himself also felt very curious. The two then left the place to head to the emperor's palace. They walked hastily towards there because they did not want to meet the great Fang Yin family who would probably ask a lot.
There were many servants who were at work when Fang Yin and Consort Tang came to the palace. To make the plan work, both have to make sense. There was no way they would suddenly search for an unknown object there.
Concubine Tang showed the place to Fang Yin with an eye gesture. However, they regained the obstacle when they saw Ling Shasha coming towards them. Both of them had to hold back for a while.
"Where have you been, Ling Shasha?" fang Yin asked because she hadn't seen him since last night.
Ling Shasha looked down and thought for a moment.
"Oh, Your Majesty. Last night I went after the butler who went out of the palace. Unfortunately I couldn't find it until now even though I had chased it very far." Ling Shasha's eyeballs twitched but Fang Yin could not see it as his face was being bowed.
Concubine Tang and Fang Yin looked at each other. The two of them instantly knew that Ling Shasha was currently lying. However, it seemed like they wanted to get into the game created by his personal servant and find out how smart he was to play with her.
"really? I didn't see him this morning either. He should have asked my permission before he left so I could ask someone else to take his place." Fang Yin pretended to be riled up while inwardly he was laughing at Ling Shasha who had not managed to deceive him.
"Oh, Your Majesty. I don't know about this. Had I caught up with him maybe I could have asked him a few things." Ling Shasha again reasoned.
"Easy! Now please you go to see Consort Ning and take my clothes. A few days ago he embroidered a shirt for me and it's almost done." Fang Yin deliberately sent Ling Shasha to a place far enough away for her to go a little long, so she and Consort Tang could freely search for items under the ornamental tree.
"Okay, Your Majesty." Ling Shasha looked relieved then left from before Fang Yin immediately.
After feeling safe, Fang Yin pretended to remove her beloved hairpin around the suspected tree. Some of the servants wanted to help to find but the prayer refused. Enough Consort Tang alone to help.
They scattered the ornamental plants that covered the ground under the tree but found nothing. It was likely that the other person or the mysterious person had taken it back. The faces of the two looked disappointed until Fang Yin suddenly boasted her smile.
"Did you find something, Yin'er?" concubine Tang asked feeling very curious.
Fang Yin nodded quickly.
"The situation here is not safe. We'd better go back to my residence instead" whispered Consort Tang.
"Yes, Mother. We'll be more free to talk there."
Just as they were about to depart, Concubine Shi and Yu Ruo came over to the two of them. Both had to delay their departure.
Fang Yin took the women who loved him very much to a cottage in the garden.
"Yin'er! You look so skinny. Don't stay up too often! Look at this, I brought you your favorite sweets." Concubine Shi thrust a box of sweets before Fang Yin.
"Well, it looks delicious," praised Consort Tang.
"You can taste it, Mother." Fang Yin willingly gave Consort Tang the first chance to pick up her mother's sweets.
Concubine Tang took a piece of sweets and put it in her mouth. A moment later he nodded with a smile. The sweets he ate were fresh in his mouth.
"Lately my granddaughter looks like a pregnant person but every time I check on her, I don't find any signs of pregnancy on her body." Yu Ruo spoke up.
Ling Shasha who had been standing behind them stopped her steps. However, his presence did not escape the observation of Fang Yin and Consort Tang. They pretended not to see and did not assume his presence.
"That's right, Brother Tang. I can't wait to hold on to grandchildren anymore" Consort Shi added.
"We need to be patient. Descendants cannot be accelerated or slowed down. Let him come in time." Consort Tang tried to cover up Fang Yin's pregnancy.
Ling Shasha noticed the expressions of the faces before her and smiled faintly. He then walked over and stood beside Fang Yin carrying the clothes he wanted.
"Have you come, Ling Shasha? Let me see his shirt." Fang Yin acted as if he had just found out about his arrival.
"This, Your Majesty."
As Ling Shasha thrust the shirt out of her hand, Fang Yin unintentionally saw a mark that was on her left wrist. Aware of that, Ling Shasha immediately withdrew her hand hoping that Fang Yin would not see her and asked.
