Chapter 142 Jade pendant led to Cangsheng’s despair

“Who’s there?” Jun Yeyan stared at the door with his cold phoenix eyes, saying with a noble aura.

“Master, it’s me.” Zhao’s deep voice came from the door.

Zhao despised and criticized Mumian silently in his mind that he would not be un-thoughtful as Mumian who just broke into the room bluntly and sabotaged master’s love affair with Bai Aoxue. He entered the room with stable steps.

Jun Yeyan didn’t say anything to Bai Aoxue when he heard the voice of Zhao, but gently dragged the quilt.

While Zhao continued to report, “Master, Wenxi and Hongxiu have already come back, and the palace has also dispatched someone to come.”

Bai Aoxue dragged the quilt off her face when she heard the news. She looked at Zhao and asked slowly, “Who was sent to come?”

“The young eunuch whom Your Highness is familiar with,” Zhao answered slowly, giving a prudent glimpse to Jun Yeyan.

When Bai Aoxue learned that it was Cangsheng who came, she said gladly, “Let’s go back to the yard.”

But Jun Yeyan sulked when he learned it was Cangsheng. But Bai Aoxue didn’t care about it. All on her mind was to go back to the yard right now.

“And one more thing, where are the three kids that Helian Cangyue asked me to take care of?” Bai Aoxue asked. Too many things happened in the past two days that Bai Aoxue had forgotten about the three kids.

“I have arranged them to settle down in the mansion,” Zhao answered calmly.

Bai Aoxue nodded, “Bring them to me in the yard after a while.”

Zhao nodded and respectfully stepped back to one side.

But Jun Yeyan didn’t move, and he looked at Bai Aoxue sullenly.

Bai Aoxue thought it was funny seeing Jun Yeyan to be sullen. “Let’s go, if you don’t want Cangsheng to come straight here.”

Jun Yeyan gave a harsh snort and turned his head away, but his behavior was still very gentle. He carried Bai Aoxue up in his arms, and cherished her as if he were carrying priceless treasure.

Bai Aoxue was not shy. She leaned in Jun Yeyan’s arms softly, looking at numbed Mumian and said, “Mumian, you come over in a while to clean up the room.”

Mumian recovered from shock on hearing Bai Aoxue’s voice and said, “I got it, Your...Your Highness.”

“How are you feeling now?” Bai Aoxue tried to break the silence on the way to the yard.

Jun Yeyan hugged himself with delight over the words of Bai Aoxue. But his complexion was a poker face, “After taking your medicine, the toxin is under control, and the internal energy is in a good order.”

Bai Aoxue felt a little bit relieved, but she seriously said, “When we come back in a while, I’ll measure your pulse again. After Cangsheng leaves, we will go to the secret chamber.”

Jun Yeyan nodded without saying anything. Only he knew he had hidden the fact from Bai Aoxue, and the fact was most of the passages through which vital energy circulates had been damaged and his internal energy was reduced to one third as before.

After a while, they arrived at Bai Aoxue’s yard. Jun Yeyan put Bai Aoxue on bed, and carefully tucked her. Although it was spring, the breeze in the morning was still a little bit cold.

Bai Aoxue smiled without saying anything. Words on such tiny issues were redundant between them and they had got used to each other’s styles of dealing with things.

She was surprised that she had no idea of since when they became so intimate.

Jun Yeyan asked the servants to carry a soft chair and he just sat beside Bai Aoxue, so as to keep an eye on Bai Aoxue, while Bai Aoxue turned her sight to the window, admiring the spring view in March when grass was lush and birds were flying in the sky. Her lips curled up a little bit.

In such a quiet time, Jun Yeyan was lost in a trance: wish it be just like this; she is enjoying the view outside of the window, while he is looking at her, and they will be old as time goes by; the time is no more no less, but just right.

In their life time, they met each other and fell in love. That might be how life works.

Both of them enjoyed this cozy time, words were redundant for the two who had tacit understanding of each other, and they read each other’s minds.

As Jun Yeyan narrowed his phoenix eyes looking at his love, all of a sudden, there was an untimely voice sounded from outside.

“Your Highness, the eunuch from palace requests an interview.”

The report brought the two back to reality. Jun Yeyan lifted his phoenix eyes which gave off a cold sight. And his lips shaped an arc which showed that he had something in mind.

Bai Aoxue just blinked her eyes, staring at the direction of the door.

“Send them in.” Jun Yeyan noticed Bai Aoxue was expecting, so he just commanded.

“Eunuch, please come in. His Highness wants to see you.” Bai Aoxue recognized the voice, which belonged to the steward of the mansion, Zhaoye, who was like a fox.

“Thank you.” It was Cangsheng’s soft voice, neither humble nor arrogant.

The sound of opening the door followed, and then the sound of steps.

The moment Cangsheng entered the room he saw Bai Aoxue was looking at him with a smiling face. She was pale, but her lips lifted.

Cangsheng felt sorry for Bai Aoxue, who was so petite, but had to bear much more misfortune than ordinary people.

“Your Excellency prince and princess,” Cangsheng paid his respects respectfully.

Jun Yeyan observed Cangsheng with his phoenix eyes, and said, “Stand up. What are you doing here?”

Such straight words were a sign of hostility to Cangsheng, even Wenxi and Hongxiu could figure out.

It seemed that Cangsheng didn’t realize the hostility in Jun Yeyan’s words. He said with a smile, “His Majesty heard about that prince and princess were attacked the day before, and the princess was hurt. His Majesty is busy with administrative affairs, and he doesn’t have time to visit princess in person, so he sent me instead.”

Cangsheng’s words were flawless even if Bai Aoxue hadn’t planned everything.

“I’m very grateful and please tell His Majesty that I appreciate his concerns about me.” Bai Aoxue coughed.

Jun Yeyan was very worried to see Bai Aoxue cough, and he was grumpy. “Wenxi, fetch some water.”

Wenxi, who was waiting at the door, brought some water quickly. Jun Yeyan took over the water and carefully fed Bai Aoxue.

Jun Yeyan didn’t take consideration of the fact that others were shocked, looking at him.

“Is there anything else? My lady Aoxue is a little tired and she needs rest.” Jun Yeyan said, looking at Cangsheng coldly, indicating that if Cangsheng didn’t have anything else to report, he should leave right now.

Cangsheng’s lips jerked a little and he wanted to continue, but at this moment, there came a voice outside the door.

“Princess, I bring the three kids,” Zhao reported respectfully outside.

The three kids, Mo Li, Mo Shang and Mo Qing, were so worried about Bai Aoxue when they heard that she was hurt, and they wait uneasily outside the door.

Bai Aoxue said, “Send them in.”

Jun Yeyan showed his disagreement with his eyes, but he didn’t stop her. Right now, what Bai Aoxue needed most is rest, but there were always visitors... Thinking of this, Jun Yeyan gave Zhao a sharp glance.

Innocent Zhao shivered when he saw Jun Yeyan’s eyes, and his facial paralysis got more severe.

The three kids followed Zhao entering the room, looked up at Bai Aoxue cowardly, but saw Jun Yeyan’s imposing sight.

The three kids were frightened, so they lowered their heads quickly.

Bai Aoxue smiled and waved to them, “Come here.”

The three kids hesitated, looked around and then went forward with firm steps.

“Cangsheng, this is Mo Li, this is Mo Shang and the girl is Mo Qing. I saved them accidentally.” Bai Aoxue introduced the three kids to Cangsheng, smiling.

She never treated Cangsheng as unrelated stranger.

Cangsheng had a glance at the three kids. His sight targeted one of them when he caught sight of the jade pendant on the waist, and he shivered in a shock.

Cangsheng’s clear eyes opened widely, and his pupils narrowed instantly.

Bai Aoxue felt confused when she noticed that Cangsheng was little wired, and she wanted to ask why, but Cangsheng walked towards Mo Shang very slowly.

Cangsheng stared at the jade pendant on the waist of Mo Shang, intended to reach out one hand to it, but his action was weird as if the passages through which vital energy circulates of his arm were damaged.

Mo Shang looked at the eunuch from palace, and didn’t know what he wanted to do. Having been through hardships during his lifetime, his eyes showed that he kept alert.

The moment Cangsheng almost touched the jade pendant on his waist, Mo Shang stepped backward quickly and covered the jade pendant with his hands.

Cangsheng failed to touch the jade pendant, with his head lowered that nobody could figure out what was on his mind.

Bai Aoxue could not help to ask, “What’s wrong, Cangsheng?”

Cangsheng raised his head abruptly when he heard the voice of Bai Aoxue, which seemed like the last straw of hope.

Cangsheng’s sight was unfocused and full of despair.

Bai Aoxue was shocked by the look in Cangsheng’s eyes. She had never seen Cangsheng like this. On one hand, Cangsheng could be hypocritical and play round in front of others, on the other hand, he could open his heart to Bai Aoxue, but he had never acted like this.

“Where...did you get this jade pendant?” Cangsheng asked after a long while, in a deep voice not the same as usual.

“My elder sister gave it to me.” Mo Shang held the jade pendant tightly when he saw Cangsheng like this.

“Your elder sister? Where is she? Could you take me to her?” Cangsheng asked in hope.

But he didn’t notice that the complexions of the three kids had changed all of a sudden.

Mo Shang tried his best to hold his tears and wouldn’t answer.

“Cangsheng, what’s wrong with the jade pendant? Why are you asking such urgently?” Bai Aoxue asked.

Cangsheng suddenly came to his sense when he heard the voice of Bai Aoxue. How blunt he was to be so overreacted!

“Well, nothing. I just happened to see a jade pendant same as this one before.” Cangsheng embarrassedly covered up, but his eyes were still staring at the jade pendant.

Apparently, Bai Aoxue didn’t believe Cangsheng’s words, but everyone had his secrets. If Cangsheng wouldn’t tell, she wouldn’t push him anymore.

“The jade pendant was given to the kids by the lady who adopted them, and she left the day before.” Bai Aoxue explained to Cangsheng.

“Left? Where was she going?” Cangsheng didn’t realize the real meaning of “left”, and asked urgently.

“Haven’t you understood yet!? My elder sister is dead! She will never come back!” Mo Shang said emotionally.

Upon hearing this, Cangsheng was about to collapse to the ground as if he were hit by thunder bolt. The hope in his eyes had changed into endless despair.

He looked at Bai Aoxue and wouldn’t buy it, hoping Bai Aoxue tell him that it was just a joke.

Bai Aoxue with her pale face nodded and said sadly, “It is true. The lady named Helian Cangyue is dead. And she asks me to take care of the three kids.”

Hearing Bai Aoxue speak of Helian Cangyue’s name, Cangsheng felt dizzy. All his hope now was gone.

Just like a magnificent view destroyed in one second.
