Chapter 57: The Prisoner of Tong Palace
Behind Han Guang Palace, a bamboo carriage slowly arrived. The curtains of the carriage were lifted slightly and Mo Yu appeared on the stone stairs. The starlight shone on her beautiful complexion and her thin eyebrows, bright pupils and the light makeup on her face.
She looked at the two tamed deers, with purely white coats, pulling the carriage and raised her eyebrows. She was a little surprised and asked, “Where is Black Jade?”
The previous black goat had disappeared into the darkness of the night and was nowhere to be found.
Nanny Ning held her hand and helped her walk down the stone stairs and answered lightly, “I don’t know where that precious went.”
Mo Yu knew that the black goat’s personality was a little unique and that she never listened to anyone in the palace. She shook her head and said, “she is just a little kid.”
Nanny Ning glanced towards the back of Han Guang palace and thought to herself, the youngster who was standing around the lake and had nowhere to go was also a kid.
Mo Yu knew what she was thinking and mocked lightly, “He’s just a kid but when he’s talking, he could spit out some logical words and act mature. He doesn’t know his actions are just jokes in other people’s eyes and would only make him look silly.”
Nanny Ning said, “Well, I actually think silly people are sometimes cute as well.”
A few months ago when Chen Chang Sheng entered the Tradition Academy, Nanny Ning helped along with the applications and the process. After she was done with the business, Mo Yu knew she liked Chen Chang Sheng. Right now hearing her speak well of Chen Chang Sheng, Mo Yu didn’t care much either. She did what needed to be done.
Chen Chang Sheng couldn’t leave that ruined garden and couldn’t appear in front of the crowd in the Wei Yang Palace. This meant that he couldn’t sabotage the marriage between Xu You Rong and Qiu Shan Jun. After the proposal, no matter how much he argued, he will only be seen as a joke. All of his anger would burn and bring pain to himself and only himself.
The bamboo carriage slowly rode towards the direction of Wei Yang Palace.
Although the professor of Heavenly Academy committed suicide under the threats of evil enforcers working for Zhou Tong, the Ivy Festival still needed a host — especially when there were important guests in the southern ambassadors who were participating in the event tonight. The Bishop of Department of Education and Xu Shi Ji was responsible for watching over them while Prince Chen Liu represented the Divine Queen in greeting the southerners. In addition, Mo Yu would attend the festival herself to show respect.
Nanny Ning placed her hand on the window of the carriage and glanced at the direction of the ruined garden multiple times. A trace of regret was showing on her face.
“Don’t worry too much nanny; that kid won’t be harmed.”
Mo Yu’s voice was heard from the bamboo carriage, “The seal of the Lake of Black Dragon is unbreakable. Unless someone from the outside opens the garden’s gate, no one can ever leave. The most he will endure will be the cold wind blowing on his face while he’s staying in the garden. This is nothing compared to the mess he will bring.”
Nanny Ning thought about a rumor and asked worriedly, “What if he touched the taboo?”
Mo Yu said, “Since it is a taboo, how would it be so easy for him to touch?”
Although she spoke casually and coldly, Nanny Ning could hear the tiredness from Mo Yu’s words. Thinking about the previous scene on the stone stairs and the tiredness showing between her eyes, Nanny Ning was a confused of why her lady would harm her qi to activate a secret technique to bind Chen Chang Sheng in place.
“Lady, you promised Lady You Rong that you would not use force on him.”
“Did I use force tonight? I only used words.”
