The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor

When she exited her room, Little Xing Han was currently outside, sitting under a large willow tree while engrossed in studying a book.

Madam Huan was smiling happily as she was doing embroidery beside him; Lou Qiao and the other serving girls were also accompanying beside her.

From that heartwarming image, it felt as though they were back in their own estate and not living in the estate of another.

Huan Qing Yan felt gratified.

“Sis! I want a hug!” Little Xing Han was the first to run towards Huan Qing Yan.

Huan Qing Yan lifted him up and turned one round, “You got heavier and also seemed to have grown taller. Good, quickly grow up.”

“Okay!”

Luo Qiao said, “Young Mistress, it is not time to prepare food for Young Master Ya yet, but you already came out.”

Madam Huan smiled as she looked over too.

Huan Qing Yan was currently still preparing two meals for Ji Mo Ya every day at the same time.

“Mama, have you visited Brother Jiu Li today? If not, let’s go together,” Huan Qing Yan said.

Madam Huan replied, “Didn’t Young Master Ya disallow you to go out? Jiu Li’s recovering very well, so there’s no need for you to worry; the imperial doctors are now trying to cure his muteness...”

Huan Qing Yan smiled, “I guessed that Young Master Ya is currently not in the Aged Consulate, so I plan to use the time to sneak out so that he will not know. What’s more, I have already revealed everything that I know; there is no point for that mysterious elder to come and silence me now. During this period when everyone is on alert, he would not dare to appear in broad daylight to kill me too...”

She did not go out these past few days in order to pure give Young Master Ya face!

At the same time, she wanted to use this time to increase her abilities, so she used this period to act obedient...

Lou Qiao smiled, “Young Mistress, how did you guess that Young Master Ya is currently not in the Aged Consulate?”

Huan Qing Yan acted like an oracle, using her fingers to count, “Young Master Ya’s days of remaining within the Hanging Cloud Empire should be numbered; therefore, everyday there’s people visiting him to get close to him causing a long queue to appear outside the Aged Consulate. Young Master Ya would surely use the excuse of having many duties to...”

Lou Qiao and Little Xing Han giggled.

Madam Huan wanted Little Xing Han to remain and left with Huan Qing Yan, Luo Qiao and the other girls; for safety, they also brought along a few Feather Guards as escorts and left the Aged Consulate, heading for the Imperial Medical Building within the Royal Palace...

Huan Jiu Li’s body had mostly recovered. There were also several State Teachers acting as protectors guarding beside him.

His recovery was faster than Huan Qing Yan had expected, causing her to finally feel relieved regarding this matter.

When Huan Jiu Li saw Huan Qing Yan, he was also very happy and tried to communicate with her using his own unique method.

Huan Qing Yan checked his throat, his vocal cords etc, and also talked to the imperial doctors who were in charge of treating him.

The imperial doctors mentioned that the chances of him being cured was slim. After the initial examination, the imperial doctors realized that Huan Jiu Li’s muteness was inborn; he was born a mute...

Huan Qing Yan saw that the imperial doctors were out of methods, so she decided to try that recipe that she found.

The Imperial Medical Building was huge. When Huan Qing Yan, Madam Huan and the rest left Huan Jiu Li’s ward, they needed to take many turns and corners before they finally managed to leave the side gate of the building that was being guarded by the imperial guards. When they neared the gate, they heard the cries of someone.

The Imperial Medical Building was not a place for common folks, entering and leaving required a special token. Without it, no one could enter or leave.

Huan Qing Yan had an agreement with staffs of the Imperial Medical Building, that was how she obtained the special token.

The cries outside the gate got louder and sorrowful as they approached, “My lord, please, do not ignore Meng Yue...”

“My lord, please tell Meng Yue where I have done wrong. Just tell me, Meng Yue would surely change, my lord...”
