78. She Knew the Man in Black

 

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

 

Wang Bucai worked really efficiently that the treasures were sent to Linglong Pavilion within an hour. But he was told that Concubine Yun had just invited Helian Chacha over.

Wang Bucai came to the bedroom hall of Concubine Yun immediately as he worried if this woman might do something crazy out of her craziness.

“What? Do I have to inform you when I invite the Princess over just for a cup of tea, Eunuch Wang?”

Concubine Yun smeared and looked at Wang Bucai with some disappointment.

Helian Chacha was so shocked. According to her intuition as someone living in modern times, the two in front of her must have some kind of extraordinary relationship.

But wasn’t Wang Bucai a eunuch? Helian Chacha felt confused once again.

“Don’t be joking, Your Highness! I am just delivering the treasures to the Princess on His Majesty’s command.”

Wang Bucai didn’t feel embarrassed at all. To him, the woman in front of him was still easy to fool, so he didn’t need to care much about her feelings.

“Huh?”

Concubine Yun tilted her head. She just wanted to get closer to Helian Chacha, and that’s the reason why she invited her over today.

“Princess, these are the stamp for you and your token to go out of the palace. His Majesty told me to give them to you, so please keep them, Your Highness.”

Wang Bucai looked at Helian Chacha’s white and tender hands with his greasy eyes on his flattery face. He thought it would be better if he could touch them by any chance.

“Thank you, Eunuch!”

All of a sudden, a light green shade came to them. It was Manyue who took the things from Wang Bucai directly and she then went to the back of Helian Chacha. She did it so quickly that she left Wang Bucai no chance to take them back.

“Eunuch, since you have already delivered them here. Shouldn’t you be doing your own business now? If I remember it correctly, I just told Cui’er to send something to you.”

Concubine Yun covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled.

Wang Bucai looked not very happy, so he swung his sleeves and left right away.

“You really got some skills, Your Highness. Women in the harem barely have the opportunity to go out of the palace. I admire you!”

Looking at Manyue behind Helian Chacha, Concubine Yun smiled with satisfaction.

Helian Chacha returned to Linglong Pavilion immediately with a random excuse.

She had to find a way to leave this place as soon as possible.

“Get someone to prepare the carriage and we’re leaving the palace in an hour.”

Every single moment in Concubine Yun’s palace made Helian Chacha feel that she could no longer stay in this place, otherwise, something terrible would happen to her one day.

“Huh? An hour? How long is that?”

Manyue was confused. It was already past midday, if they waited for another 2 hours, (1 ancient hour) they would be so late.

“Oh, half ancient hour!”

Helian Chacha looked so calm as she had already studied about this when she was still in Ling Kingdom.

One hour later, on the Zhuque Avenue of the capital city, Helian Chacha looked at everything in front of her curiously.

“Let’s go to the biggest hotel!”

Helian Chacha touched her waist as that was the only gold she found in the entire Linglong Pavilion.

It was definitely a good thing to be a princess because precious treasures were everywhere in her Linglong Pavilion. Yet there was no real money, and that pissed her off.

Helian Chacha sat in the carriage and the entire carriage was surrounded by 12 eunuchs and 12 palace maids.

There were even some eunuchs in the front yelling, so Helian Chacha didn’t dare to show her face.

On the second floor of a mediocre hotel on Zhuque Avenue, Zhuifeng who had just arrived at Xuanyuan Kingdom was listening to the noises outside, and there was a light flashing through his eyes.

“Princess, we are at Floral House now.”

Manyue’s voice was very clear, and all the people immediately knelt down after hearing that.

The only thing they knew was that there came a princess in the imperial palace of Xuanyuan a few days ago, but they didn’t expect that she would go out today, so those people suddenly felt they might have overestimated her before.

Opening the curtain, all of those people were surprised when they looked up.

A light blue suit shocked everyone, and some even started to rub their eyes as they had never seen such a beautiful girl. All of a sudden, people forgot to bow to her at all.

“Good day, Princess!”

The owner of Floral House had seen a bit of the world, even though he was surprised by the beauty of Helian Chacha, he was quick enough to react to her presence.

“Please get up.”

Helian Chacha frowned a bit because this scene in front of her reminded her of the modern funeral.

“This way, Princess.”

The owner of Floral House stood out once again, but this time, he was fixing his eyes on the three purses hanging on the waist of Helian Chacha.

Helian Chacha had a bad feeling, so she pressed her waist and ran into the hotel directly.

Maybe they had already been informed in advance, the entire Floral House was empty, and Helian Chacha was brought to the Heaven Suite on the second floor directly.

Thick carpet and light yellow curtains, the room looked so fancy with a giant round table in the middle. There were golden porcelain bowls on the table, and a pot of lavender orchid was on it as well.

“Wow, how come you still have this kind of flower at this time?”

Helian Chacha was really surprised. Normally, the orchid only bloomed at the turn of winter and spring, and they didn’t even have any techniques in the ancient time. So it was really not common to see it blooming at the beginning of autumn.

“Thanks for the praising, Princess. We ordered it from the river town a few weeks ago. It is warmer in the river town, so the flower blooms in four seasons. It was sent here yesterday, and you come to us today, Princess! If you like it, you can just take it with you later.”

The owner kept smiling. Helian Chacha was so curious that she checked behind him. He must have hired some people to run this giant hotel.

“No, no. You can leave now and get me some food. I need to be alone for a while.”

Helian Chacha waved at him impatiently. People were talking about her on the street down there louder and louder.

What they were talking about the most was about the appearance of her and the former empress, also the sudden suicide of the late empress.

“Princess?”

Manyue looked at Helian Chacha worriedly, and she didn’t look fine either.

Obviously, she didn’t want Helian Chacha to be bothered with what had happened back then.

“Where is the toilet? I need to go to the toilet.”

Somehow Helian Chacha’s instinct told her to run away from those critics about her, and she felt very uncomfortable at the moment.

“Shall I bring you the imperial doctor?”

Looking at Helian Chacha’s pale face, Manyue walked to her quickly.

They had made countless assumptions about Helian Chacha’s memory, yet they had never thought of one single possibility.

“No, thanks. It’s just a stomachache and all I need is to use the toilet.”

Helian Chacha stood up and ran to the outside. Before Manyu could realize what happened, Helian Chacha had already disappeared in front of her.

There was a toilet on the second floor of Floral House and it was prepared for the guests in the Heaven Suite. So those servants didn’t realize what had happened until Helian Chacha went into it.

As soon as she closed the door, Helian Chacha regretted it.

The moment she turned around, her mouth was covered by a man in black. What made her feel hopeless the most was that she knew this man in black in front of her.

It was Zhuifeng who wanted to kill her in the river town of Ling Kingdom.

“Don’t move! Otherwise…”

Zhuifeng’s eyes turned really cold, and he didn’t put down his hand until he saw Helian Chacha nodding.

“Dare you to speak up, I will kill you before they come here.”
