After dinner, Ye Zhen Zhen rested a while, then took a book and left the palace, and only brought along Su Yue with her.
The winter night was very cold, both of them were tightly wrapped, Su Yue holding the lantern, and another hand holding Ye Zhen Zhen, and tried to convince her “Your majesty, tonight it is so cold, why not we don’t go tonight?”
“No, I have to be commited”
These few days where did Ye Zhen Zhen go?
Answer : Ying Hua Hall
To do what?
Answer: Practice martial arts.
God knows from where Wang You Cai manage to get a martial arts book “Ying Yang Jing”. The book was quite thick and the pages have turned yellow, with some holes that seems to have been eaten by insects, it looks like an old book, making people think that it had aided in the previous jianghu matters.. all in all this book was giving out a feel of ultimate martial arts book.
On the book it was written, to practice this skill, you must find a quiet and uninterrupted location, the best was deep in the forest, or waterfall area, places that Ye Zhen Zhen can’t go. So she can only find a quieter place in the inner palace, and concluded at Ying Hua Hall.
That is why these few days, every night she will come to Ying Hua hall to practice. “Ying Yang Jing” is a type of inner kung fu, so she would only be required to meditate and all is good.
No one stays at Ying Hua Hall at night, only an eunuch guards this place, but on such cold days, that guarding eunuch has earlier hide himself somewhere to keep warm.
Lu Li got close to Ying Hua Hall’s garden, and found out that there was light coming out from there. In the garden there was a huge tree, but is naked of leaves. He saw Su Yue beyond the tree who was standing outside the hall. She was very cold, shivering and rubbing her ears.
He walk towards her “Miss Su Yue”
Su Yue saw who he was from the light and surprised “Lieutenant Lu? Why would you be here?”
“I happen to pass by” Lu L said and took out the pouch and gave it to her “Keep this properly, do not let the empress lose her things”
Su Yue took it and check it, even more surprise “this is really what we dropped a few days ago, why is it in your hands?”
Lu Li just wanted to answer, but heard Ye Zhen Zhen asking from inside “Su Yue, who is outside?”
Su Yue saw that Lu Li shook his head, so she answered “niang niang there is no one”
“if no one, then there must be a ghost speaking?” The door open from inside and when she saw Lu Li, she smiled “cousin brother, it’s you”
“It’s me, Zhen Zhen” Lu Li smiled, “but, I cannot stay here for long, you have to take care of yourself” Then he lift his arms up, and nearly wanted to touch her head like how he used to, but luckily he stopped in time, and did not move.
“Cousin brother, wait for a while” seeing that he wants to leave, Ye Zhen Zhen quickly say, she pass the martial arts book to Lu Li “have look and tell me how is this “Ying Yang Jing””
Lu Li flipped the book, and returned it back to her “it is just some basic inner skill, it is good for you to practice them too”
“This is an ultimate martial arts book”
“Is it, then most probably I did not see properly, Congratulation cousin sister obtaining ultimate martial skill”
Then, from far a male voice can be heard “It looks like I did not come at the right time”
Ye Zhen Zhen suddenly felt something was not right, this timing, this place, this scene, her relationship with her cousin brother….. it was too easy for people to misunderstand. Furthermore, Ji Wu Jiu has already suspected that she and Lu Li has some sort of romance going on.
Ji Wu Jiu walked out from behind a tree, not sure if it was due to anger or from the cold, his face was pale, and he seems to give of a very cold feeling. But due to the weak lighting, Ye Zhen Zhen could not see his expression properly, and only thought that his eyes is as cold as ice, and sharp as arrow, and directed at her, making her feel scared.
“Your majesty…” This time she is gone for, Ye Zhen Zhen really needs to explain properly.
However before she can speak, suddenly outside there were many lights. Two groups of eunuchs was holding lanterns to make a road, closing in the empress dowager was holding a maid servants hand and walking towards the, with a serious face.
Ye Zhen Zhen suddenly understood. This was very obvious a trap, they have properly planned this, to frame her of adultering and to make sure she is cornered truly.
