Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
By the time Shiye arrived at Locust Village, the sky was already dark.
However, because it was snowing, a thick layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground. The ground was covered in white and so were the surroundings.
The people of Locust Village were all asleep right now.
Shiye was afraid that he would wake up the villagers. If they saw him, they would suspect that Shao Youyue was not Xiao Mochen’s sister at all, so he tied his horse outside Locust Village and walked into Locust Village alone.
He went there quietly.
Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and the others were actually all asleep. Only Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s rooms were still lit with an oil lamp. It was obvious that the two of them were still awake.
Jiang Yue walked to the oil lamp and was about to blow it out. When she was about to sleep, she heard the smashing sound of someone stepping on the thick snow. The sound was not loud, but it made her believe that there was someone outside.
Jiang Yue opened the window and jumped out.
Xue Yan was also planning to sleep, but when he heard Jiang Yue’s room window opening, he pushed open the window to take a look. He wanted to see what Jiang Yue was doing with the window open so late at night. He saw that in the heavy snow, Jiang Yue had already left the room through the window. In a few moments, he used something to climb over the wall next to him and jumped outside.
Did she discover something?
Xue Yan was afraid of waking up the family, so he hurriedly opened the door and passed through the courtyard. Then, he opened the courtyard door again and also went to take a look outside the wall.
He couldn’t jump out of the window or climb over the wall like her.
She was moving too fast.
Shiye was walking around the courtyard wall, planning to walk to the back of the wall and climb over it to report to the Empress. Who knew that before he reached the wall next to the little houses where the Empress lived, he heard a noise. He subconsciously looked up and saw Jiang Yue falling from the sky.
She landed steadily in front of him.
However, because she was too small, his gaze finally fell down and he lowered his head to look at the little girl in front of him.
He blinked and seemed to have reacted only a second after. He quickly took two steps back and cupped his fists. “Jiang Yue.”
Her voice was very soft.
He was obviously afraid of waking Xue Dafu and the others up.
Jiang Yue was expressionless, but she also lowered her voice. “Why are you sneaking around here?” If she hadn’t seen him, she would have already strangled him.
Previously, someone had sneaked into the courtyard wall behind to peek at the beautiful Empress. She had thought that it was that person again.
Seeing the sound of light footsteps on the snow coming from behind Shiye, Jiang Yue turned to the side and avoided Shiye’s cover. She saw that it was Xue Yan, but she did not say anything.
Shiye felt rather complicated. They found him just like that… It was the same last time… He turned around and saw Xue Yan and Miss Jiang Yue…
Xue Yan walked over and stood beside Jiang Yue, looking at Shiye expressionlessly as well.
Shiye was somewhat unable to withstand being stared at by Xue Yan and Jiang
Yue at the same time. He subconsciously looked around before whispering to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, “The General sent me here. He has something important to report to the Empress.”
“Go ahead.” Xue Yan said, not making things difficult for him.
“Yes, sir!” Shiye cupped his fists and continued to move toward the back wall.
Although Jiang Yue did not say anything, she knew very well that Shao Shuting had never allowed Shiye to come to the village because he was afraid that people would find out that Shao Shuting’s sister was staying at their house. However, Shao Shuting had actually asked Shiye to come today. It was obvious that whatever it was, it was an important matter.
However, since Shao Youyue was here, she could only help to take care of Shao Youyue’s safety. She did not expect to be in charge of everything, so she naturally allowed Shiye to go over..
