Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Ling Yang College 8
The nightmare from four years ago seemed to have begun once more.
"Your majesty, it's getting late and Princess Bei Yue has a weak body. Why not let her go back and rest?"
The Empress walked up and softly exclaimed. Under the elegant makeup, no one saw how pale her face was.
"Yes, it's getting late. But I don't want Bei Yue to go back alone." The Emperor raised his head and looked around in a circle, his gaze landed on the Crown Prince. "Zhan Ye…."
"Emperor." Xiao Yao Wang suddenly voiced his opinion stopping the Emperor from this foolish decision. How can he let the Crown Prince take Princess Bei Yue back?
If the Crown Prince actually did so, who knows how many people are going to talk behind Princess Bei Yue's back about this? They would say that she isn't worthy of respect. In the Empress and Crown Prince's heart, they wouldn't be happy with Huang Bei Yue.
He didn't want her at such a young age to offend all these important figures already.
"Well, this minister is planning to leave the palace right now. How about letting this minister protect Princess Bei Yue on the journey back home?"
The Emperor also realized that making the Crown Prince do so wasn't the best decision. Since Xiao Yao Wang offered, the Emperor granted him permission.
Huang Bei Yue thanked the Emperor and sighed in her heart. The Emperor's action almost scared her.
But then again, it was probably because they are related by blood. The impression that the Emperor gave her was pretty good. From her childhood memories, she could see that the Emperor really loves Huang Bei Yue.
To these types of people, she will do her best to repay them back!
After leaving the palace, it was the same as when they had come here. She was in the same horse carriage as Xiao Yun. However this time Xiao Yun didn't seem to be as arrogant anymore and didn't brag to her about this or about that.
The atmosphere within the horse carriage was very quiet. Huang Bei Yue closed her eyes to rest. Xiao Yun looked at her and in her heart, she wanted to kill her so badly! When she thought about how angry the Emperor was, she halted that thought.
"Third sister, did you sleep?" Xiao Yun probed.
Today she didn't complain to the Emperor. This led Xiao Yun to be very confused. Is she that dumb?
It didn't seem so. The Huang Bei Yue now didn't look like the weak and stupid girl! There was a feeling of uneasiness in her heart but she couldn't explain the cause of it.
"No." Huang Bei Yue bluntly replied, not opening her eyes.
After today's events, she also knew that Xiao Yun not only inherited the bloodline of Xiao Yuan Cheng's father's summoning skills, but also his cleverness.
What she said today led Huang Bei Yue to see her in another light. She would never have thought how detailed Xiao Yun's mind was. She's the type to not act carelessly during times of danger.
Xiao Zhong Qi during that time most likely would've been scared to the same extent as Xiao Yuan Cheng. Xiao Ling, of course, was even more terrified.
Xiao Yun forced a smile, saying: "After a couple days, you're going to begin school at Ying Yang College. Even though you don't need to take the admissions test to get into the school, you should still buy some school materials. I will let my mom bring you some."
She is obviously trying to please Huang Bei Yue in order to let Xiao Yao Wang help her refine Marrow Cleansing Pill and also because the Emperor's anger had scared her.
"Okay." Huang Bei Yue didn't refuse. They're using her money so why not?
She agreed but that doesn't mean she owed them anything! That also doesn't mean she will help Xiao Yun.
Seeing that she accepted, Xiao Yun felt a little better. It looked like, Huang Bei Yue is really grateful that Xiao Yun's mother sent her medicine every day.
In the entire Princess Zhang's Prefecture, only Xiao Yun's mother was slightly nicer to her. It would be weird if Huang Bei Yue isn't grateful to her!
Thinking up to here, Xiao Yun's doubts diminished.
Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Ling Yang College 9
The horse carriage stopped in front of Princess Zhang's Prefecture. The people outside the door immediately came to hold the horses and opened the curtains.
Huang Bei Yue walked down first. The people in Princess Zhang's Prefecture didn't know what happened during today's palace banquet. They still thought that Huang Bei Yue is a 'waste.'
One of Xiao Yun's maid coldly exclaimed: "Why are you stalling? Hurry up. Are you trying to let Young Miss wait for you?"
Huang Bei Yue raised her head to look at her. Before she could speak, a whip slammed over and the maid was immediately thrown out. Half her face was bloody.
Xiao Yuan Cheng angrily shouted: "You have no eyes! Is this the way to talk to the Princess?"
What just happened had led the maids who usually bully Huang Bei Yue on a daily basis to be terrified. They were stunned.
Xiao Yao Wang stood by the side and witnessed everything. Xiao Yuan Cheng didn't have the guts to order Huang Bei Yue around like a servant anymore! He immediately ordered: "Help the Princess down the carriage."
Pei Xiang who came out to pick up Xiao Rou witnessed everything. She wisely walked up and politely helped Huang Bei Yue down the carriage.
"Princess, be careful beneath your feet."
Xiao Yuan Cheng saw this sensible maid and his face was slightly relieved. He quickly got off the horse and respectfully said to Xiao Yao Wang: "Thank you, Wang Ye, for sending us back."
Xiao Yao Wang looked at him for a second and got off the horse as well. He pulled Huang Bei Yue to one side and said in a low voice: "Yue 'er, is there something preventing you from speaking the truth? Tell me. I won't let anyone hurt you."
Huang Bei Yue's heart began to warm up. In her past life as a killer, she had already forgotten what warmth was like. Being in Jiang Hu for so many years, only Master had given her warmth. Other than Master, there was only a woman called 'N' who let her felt carefree!
People like her are fated to darkness, loneliness, and to killers. She thought that was the case before as well. However, when she came here, she met all sorts of people. They gave her warmth, care, and trust.
She raised her head, and smiled faintly at Xiao Yao Wang: "Wang Ye, look at my eyes. Look at it carefully. Look inside. I'm being absolutely serious. I can lie to other people but I will never lie to myself!"
A firm voice echoed!
There was a faint smile on her lips and Huang Bei Yue stood up straight. The cold and proud temperament radiated from her which led people to believe in her.
Believe her!
I can lie to other people, but I will never lie to myself!
Such a brave statement, it's not something a weak child is able to say so easily. Xiao Yao Wang suddenly felt assured.
"Yue 'er, you make me feel surprised. But you are still young. There are some things you might not be able to solve. Come find me whenever you need to. I promised your mother that I will take care of you."
"Rest assured. If there's something I can't solve, you probably can't either." Huang Bei Yue smiled confidently.
She is someone who doesn't like owing people something and she also doesn't like to beg. The biggest taboo for people like her is to become dependent on someone. Being dependent on someone can be deadly.
Even though her soul was trembling.
Her heart is calm.
The sword in her hand will never tremble!
Xiao Yao Wang raised his face and grinned at her. Although he didn't speak, Huang Bei Yue could still see clearly. In his eyes, there's a light called trust!
Looking behind him, there was another horse carriage. It was Feng Lian Yi who opened the carriage's curtains and stared over here.
In the purple eyes, there was a little smile.
