Xing Er s.h.i.+vered. He reported all the matters that had happened today to Xiao Chen. When Xiao Chen heard everything, his eyes slightly narrowed as he pondered.
“Master, shouldn’t we investigate Jing Lang and Jing Zhan’s matter?” Xing Yi asked who stood on the side.
“Go and investigate, in the end, what had happened fourteen years ago, also…… check about the origin of this bead.” Xiao Chen spoke as he stared at the two people, opening his palm to show the dark green bead.
Xing Yi and Xing Er bowed and answered, “Yes.”
Xiao Chen then turned around and went back into the room. He took his outer robes off and lied down beside Jing Yue, sighing then pa.s.sing the whole night without saying any words. When Jing Yue woke up, she saw that above her was a familiar bed curtain. She blinked for a moment and then instantly sat up.
Jing Yue opened her mouth and shouted loudly, “Yin Qiao!!!”
Jing Yue’s loud shout frightened Yin Qiao. She hastily ran into the room and peeked at Jing Yue, saying, “Sla…… slave’s here. Huang Fei, you’ve woken up?”
“How can I be here?” Jing Yue asked and stared at Yin Qiao.
“Ninth Huang Shu carried you back ah.” Yin Qiao answered and blinked her eyes.
“Ei? Xiao Chen is back? Where is he?” Jing Yue asked, turning her gaze to check at the faint trace on the pillow before turning her head back to look at Yin Qiao.
“Ninth Huang Shu said he has something to do. At dawn, Ninth Huang Shu went out with master Xing Yi.” Yin Qiao bowed and said, “Ninth Huang Shu told me to give this to you saying that you shouldn’t lose it again in the future.” As Yin Qiao spoke, she extended her hand. A dark green bead was lying on her palm.
Jing Yue was a bit startled. She raised her hand and started to check her neck. She finally found that there was absolutely nothing on her neck, there was no trace of the bead she used to wear on her neck.
“Turns out I forgot to wear it back after taking it off yesterday.” Jing Yue sighed. She reached out and took the bead on Yin Qiao’s palm. She raised her hand to carefully put it on before caressing the bead, and then said with a sigh, “Today I need to go to school right?”
“Yes, master Xing Er is already waiting at the gate.” Yin Qiao spoke and hung her head down.
“Aiya…… really troublesome ah! Why do I have to go to school!?” Jing Yue pouted with dissatisfaction as she stood up and walked toward the dressing table at the side, sitting in front of it.
Seeing Jing Yue’s resentful expression, Ying Qiao’s eyebrows were bent as she smiled and said, “After Huang Fei partic.i.p.ates in the exam and pa.s.ses, you won’t have to go to school anymore.”
Jing Yue suddenly shuddered after hearing what Yin Qiao had said. With a completely frightened expression on her face, she stared at Yin Qiao and asked, “Ah? There is an exam?”
“Of course there is. They said that this time the exam will be held at the beginning of the sixth month. The teachers, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress, all of them will be there. That occasion will definitely be very grand.” Yin Qiao said, raising her gaze to look at Jing Yue from the mirror as she gently helped in combing her hair.
“My G.o.d…… even the Empress Dowager will be there… finished…… I’m dead……” Jing Yue’s face suddenly turned pale out of fright. She raised her head and blinked then stared at Ying Qiao, and asked, “What will happen if I don’t partic.i.p.ate in the exam?”
“Not partic.i.p.ating in the exam?” Yin Qiao’s hand stopped for a moment. She then said, “Huang Fei will be very embarra.s.sed if you do not take the exam, not to mention Huang Fei will be ridiculed by other people. You will also have to go back to the school to learn again and wait for the exam in the next sixth month. It will be repeated this way until Huang Fei pa.s.ses the exam.”
“Pu(pfft)…… too ruthless!” Jing Yue wanted to cry but she had no tears. She cupped her cheeks with her hands with a frown and said, “It seems that this time I have to study well, or else, wouldn’t it mean I would never be able to break away from the bitterness of school my whole life? My G.o.d ah……”
