Chapter 1356: Too Tired?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“They’re the two who saved everyone including the Empress Dowager. That was how we managed to capture so many masked men alive!” The guard beside Xue Wuhu immediately shouted.
“Oh, oh, them. Yes, yes, yes, I recall their names being Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.” The soldier said straightforwardly. Since it was those two, he knew who they were. “They’re in there,” he said, pointing at one of the carriages behind him.
Xue Wuhu was so worried that he immediately ran over without replying.
Just as he ran to the side of that carriage, Xue Yan just happened to open the carriage’s curtain from inside. He shushed him before speaking again in a gentle and soft voice, “Xue Wufu, Jiang Yue is asleep. You need to be quiet. She’s very tired.”
“Ah, ah.” Xue Wuhu lowered his voice, “Are you tired too? Are you injured too?” As he spoke, he burrowed his head into the carriage to take a look at their situation.
When he saw that only Xue Yan’s long white robe was stained with blood, but it wasn’t Xue Yan’s blood, he sighed a breath of relief. When he looked over, he saw that Jiang Yue was indeed asleep and was leaning on Xue Yan’s body. Xue Yan was even holding her with one hand. Only then did he completely relax.
“Good, good, good. It’s good that you’re fine. It’s good that you’re fine.” Xue Wuhu’s voice became even softer, afraid that he would wake up Jiang Yue. He immediately became happy again. “You gave me a fright. I thought something had happened to you. You both must have fought really hard, no wonder Jiang Yue is exhausted.”
It was hard to tell if Jiang Yue was unconscious or asleep. Xue Yan could only brace himself and continue to let Xue Wufu and others misunderstand that Jiang Yue was too tired and had fallen asleep.
After a while, Fu Ying also came over. Looking at the situation, he felt it all too strange.
It was mainly because of the report she had read. The person who reported said that the main group had fallen, but Xue Yan and Jiang Yue still stood tall. It seemed that she had only fallen after the main group was subdued. Then, she was carried into the carriage by Xue Yan.
She was not as innocent as Xue Wuhu, who would believe whatever others said. She was not convinced that Jiang Yue fell asleep because she was too tired.
However, it looked like she was asleep and was not injured at all…
Although it was strange, Fu Ying kept her mouth shut.
Previously, she had never seen Xue Yan or Jiang Yue. Now, it could be considered as officially meeting them for the first time. It was just like the report she received last time when they were in the inn — they all had extraordinary appearances and were not ordinary people.
Fu Ying was definitely their fifth sister-in-law. Regardless of whether it was fated or not, or whether this world was actually a book, Xue Yan glanced at Xue Wufu and felt happy for him.
Xue Wuhu had no idea what Xue Yan and Fu Ying were thinking. He just hurriedly introduced them to each other when he saw Fu Ying come over.
His voice was still very soft as he was afraid of waking Jiang Yue up.
Fu Ying thanked Xue Yan, her voice also following Xue Wuhu’s to match the tone. Then, Fu Ying brought her mother back to the palace.
Xue Yan then let Xue Wufu quickly follow Fu Ying back to the palace. Jiang Yue was going to be unconscious for a few days. In order to prevent Xue Wufu from being worried, it was better to let Xue Wufu return with Fu Ying.
After being Ni Dingyuan for so many days, even though he did not need to be Ni Dingyuan anymore, Xue Wuhu still got on his horse and followed Fu Ying back to the palace.
They had already entered the city, and Fu Ying had brought so many people to fetch Empress Dowager Minde. In addition, the civil and military officials of Beicheng had more or less heard the news, especially the royalists. All of them were on standby to receive the party…
