CHAPTER 6Cannot Enter the City, Fei Election
Jing Yue leaped and didn’t stop for a rest for quite a while. Only when she was certain that no one was chasing behind, she then stopped on top of a tree. Gasping for breath, she patted the pit of her stomach; really scared people to die, who were those people? How could he have such a people-scaring expressions, even Jing Yue with this kind of definite ability, there still was some fear thinking about it now.
Cold and ruthless, didn’t even have a bit degree of warmth, looking at you just like looking at a dead person.
An ordinary person, how could he have this kind of eyes?
Jing Yue wanted to shake her own body hard. Wiping the cold sweat on her forehead, her heart couldn’t help but sorrowfully sigh, how could she be this pitiful? Abandoned inside a forest, and then she had to kept hiding in different place just like she was fleeing for her life, this outside world really is too chaotic.
It was better to buy those things quickly and went to hide inside the forest.
Safe, free.
As Jing Yue was thinking this way; she immediately relaxed her breath and weakly took a rest. Leaping down toward a tree trunk, she watched the surrounding. Searching for a dry place below the trees to sit, she slowly closed her eyes. She had run for a full day, it didn’t even give her the chance rest for a moment.
When Jing Yue opened her eyes again, it was already morning of the next day. Jing Yue lazily stretched her body, fortunately she was able to have enough sleep for the rest of the night; otherwise today she wouldn’t be able to hurry towards the small town. Waiting until close to midday time, Jing Yue finally had her wish fulfilled; she had arrived at the city gate.
“Not easy aa…..” Jing Yue wiped the sweat on her face. Patting the dust on her clothes off, she walked toward the city gate and stopped to look. Slightly raising her eyes, she threw a glance toward an announcement as well as a sheet of a man’s portrait sticking on the city’s gate. Jing Yue pumped the corner of her mouth slightly.
It certainly was not her eyes that had problems; it had certainly been the person who drew this portrait who had problems.
No matter how you looked at, it didn’t resemble a human.
“Move aside, move aside, ninth Huang Shu* is going inside, all people are not allowed to enter the city gate!” dust were raised by a group of das.h.i.+ng horse, choking Jing Yue who stood on the side to cough.
“Ke ke ke….., your uncle, to have a horse is amazing aaa….” Jing Yue coughed and grumbled. Turning around to walk toward the city gate, she was stopped by the guards keeping the gate who fiercely said: “Didn’t you hear the notice; you cannot enter the city at the moment!”
“What? Cannot enter the city? Why aa?” Jing Yue went blank, frowned and asked.
“Cannot means cannot, how can you have so much nonsense!” that city gate’s guard disdainfully pushed Jing Yue away, walked to the side and continuously shouting ‘cannot enter the city’.
Jing Yue who got pushed were stumbling, she glared angrily at that guard. Feeling very unwilling, she grinded her teeth, really a slave dog who bully people!
“How can Ninth Huang Shu come here?” Jing Yue walked to the side, searching for a rock to sit down; Just as she sat down, she heard the people beside her were saying those words. Squinting her eyes slightly, she leaned over to listen.
“It seems he just returned from Xi Wu country, so he pa.s.sed through this place, who knows what had happened?” Jing Yue knitted her brow slightly, ninth Huang Shu? Who is ninth Huang Shu?
“Ninth Huang Shu’s carriage, no wonder the city gate need to be clear up, you have to know, that ninth Huang shu is an extreme person. It is said that every person who had run into ninth Huang shu’s body, all died tragically.” Jing Yue couldn’t help but coughed hearing that conversation.
Got b.u.mped into a little then directly killed people!?
What kind of damaged rule was that?
“You were saying this, I just remember; ninth Huang Shu is going to select a Fei**, this time don’t know which family’s girl is going to be selected.”
“Ai…., another people with death wish….”
Jing Yue’s heart itched hearing those, this carefully selected Fei, why would she be said as a person with a dead wish?
Thinking this way, Jing Yue turned her body around; looking toward the two speaking aunts, she asked, “The two aunts, you just said ninth Huang shu is going to pick a Fei, isn’t it a big happy event? Why did you say the person had a death wish?” Jing Yue swore to G.o.d she really didn’t know.
*Huang Shu: Imperial uncle (the emperor’s brother), I’ll use the term huang shu, w.a.n.g, Ben w.a.n.g, but I won’t use Huang zi (imperial son) etc., I’ll use ‘prince’,’emperor’ etc.
**Fei: Imperial Concubine (princess)
