Yueyao had no idea that her disappearance had even alard the Emperor. Since she woke up, she was like a living corpse, unable to speak, her whole body limp and weak. She had to be fed by others, carried to the restroom, with everything done on her behalf, resembling more of a useless person.
The person attending to Yueyao in this way was a woman around twenty years old, who appeared after they left the Capital City. This woman always stayed by Yueyao’s side, spoke very little, and aside from asking Yueyao if she was hungry or needed to use the restroom, hardly opened her mouth.
Yueyao was imprisoned, apart from nodding or shaking her head, she couldn’t perform any other actions, and in this manner, it seed as if a lifeti had passed.
Yueyao fell asleep again, and upon waking, found herself lying on a soft and fragrant bed, with no sight of the woman’s shadow nearby.
Lying on the bed, Yueyao observed the intricately carved and decorated room, filled with either Gold, Silver, Jade and Gemstones, or antique paintings and calligraphy. Even the bedding was exquisite to the extre, with a White Jade Pillow and a quilt embroidered with peonies using Gold and Silver Threads, while the curtains were Shark Gauze Curtains.
Outside, two footsteps sounded, and Yueyao knew this probably ant they had reached their destination. Leaving the Capital City, she had only seen that woman alone and not any others. Now, with two people appearing, weren’t they at the destination, which also ant she might have arrived in Haikou.
Yueyao’s limbs were weak, and she couldn’t speak, but her consciousness was always clear. Having already decided her attitude towards these people, even knowing the two girls approached the bed, she kept her eyes closed without speaking.
Yueyao felt soone prying open her mouth. Reflexively, Yueyao opened her eyes to find two won by the bed, looking exactly alike with identical outfits, except one was prying open her mouth while the other stood by.
The woman sitting by the bed saw Yueyao open her eyes and said to her, "I’m going to feed you an antidote, open your mouth."
Yueyao opened her mouth and saw this woman place a green pill into it. She then drank the water presented by that woman, drinking half a cup before stopping. After drinking, Yueyao closed her eyes again, ceasing to speak.
The voice of the woman feeding the dicine was sowhat cold: "I am called Zi Lan, my sister is called Zi Yi, from now on, we sisters will serve you."
Yueyao seed to have fallen asleep again, with no reaction at all.
The girl nad Zi Yi appeared sowhat anxious: "Sister, could it be that the young lady is unwell, should we not find a doctor to examine her?"
Zi Lan gazed at Yueyao’s appearance without speaking. After what seed like almost an hour, Zi Lan addressed Yueyao: "Young lady, you can now speak."
Yueyao twisted her arm, having been incapacitated for so long, she could finally move on her own. However, after traveling for so long, Yueyao was also very tired. With such a soft bed, she naturally wanted to sleep first to recover her spirit and energy.
Zi Lan and Zi Yi kept watch, after about half an hour, Zi Yi whispered, "Sister, the young lady is asleep, I will head out first!"
Zi Lan shook her head saying, "You go out! I will stay here and watch over the young lady." Listening to the breathing it was indeed sleep. But the master had already ordered that the young lady’s side cannot be without soone for twelve Shichen, it was determined that her side cannot be left empty.
Yueyao didn’t sleep too long, waking to stare at the carvings on the head of the bed. Observing the style of the furniture, Yueyao guessed she was very likely already in Haikou, and this place was probably one of Zhou Shu’s hideouts.
Yueyao wasn’t thinking of escaping at this mont, judging from Zi Yi and Zi Lan’s footsteps, both were skilled practitioners. Last ti’s successful surprise attack was due to catching them unprepared, repeating it wouldn’t yield such luck again.
Yueyao didn’t fret, after all, things were as they were, being afraid or anxious wouldn’t help. In this life, unlike the past one, there would definitely be soone coming to rescue her this ti. Her task was to wait, to wait for soone to rescue her.
Yueyao slept until evening.
After getting up and washing, Yueyao left the bedroom, walked to the dining table, and looked at the table filled with dishes: saltwater Jiang white shrimp, minced at with chopped beans, stead egg with small clams, stir-fried lettuce slices, savory atballs, Kung Pao chicken, and gourt soup.
Yueyao only ate a few vegetarian dishes, took small portions of atballs and chicken, but didn’t touch the Jiang white shrimp and small clams.
