Chapter 1209: Wait and See
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was a shadow moving on the window. It was obvious that someone was waiting for him in the room.
This was probably Prince Yi’s room.
Jiang Yue changed her direction and peeked out from the wall to see where she was.
Through the window that opened to the South, she could see a bed. Past it was the inner room. She could vaguely see a small frail child lying on the bed. Although she was far away and the candlelight was bright enough to see her surroundings, it still somewhat affected her vision. She could not see the child’s appearance clearly.
However, if it was really a child, then it must be Prince Yi.
The child on the bed was supported by someone to drink water and fed small spoons of food bit by bit. Not only did he look sickly, but he looked like he was about to pass out at any moment.
However, there was no sign of worry or panic in the maids serving the child. Their lives should not be in danger.
Jiang Yue looked at the people serving in the house, and then at the people in the courtyard. She thought about the two people with knives guarding the courtyard door just now. None of them looked like extremely skilled mysterious masked people; they were all ordinary. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
After observing the area for a while and seeing that there was no one else there, she secretly walked around the mansion again. She did not find anyone who looked like the two masked men at all! Only then did Jiang Yue give up and leave the mansion of the Northern General and return to the inn?
In the inn, Xue Yan and Xue Sifu were still up. They were both sitting in front of the table under the lamp, waiting for Jiang Yue to return.
When Jiang Yue returned, she took a stool and sat next to both of them.
Then, she said, “Let’s wait a while longer. Prince Yi is here, but I didn’t see the two mysterious masked people. I didn’t find anyone who looked like them either. They shouldn’t be with Prince Yi. No matter what, they will come to Prince Yi sooner or later when he is in danger.”
Xue Yan said, “Since that’s the case, then we’ll have to wait and see if they show up. We can’t stay too long either. We’ve already been out for quite some time. Try to go back as soon as possible. Otherwise, our family will be worried about us.”
“Yes.” Jiang Yue nodded. They had agreed to go out for a month or two, and they had already been out for more than half a month.
The reason why Xue Sifu followed them out was to prevent his family from worrying about the two kids. Thus, he said, “It will take six to seven days to ride a fast horse from Changyu to home without rest. We can wait here for at most a month. Once a month is up, we will have to go back no matter what.”
“Sounds good.” Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both nodded, having no objections at all.
The secret guards kept an eye on the Northern General’s Mansion. If anything was wrong, or if anyone went in or came out, they would report to the two kids. Therefore, Jiang Yue did not have to keep an eye on them.
Doctor Shen was arranged to stay in the small courtyard. He was not dead, showing he could still treat Prince Yi. Doctor Shen would be fine for the time being, so they did not have to worry about anything.
Now, they were just waiting for the two masked men to appear again and capture them all in one fell swoop.
It was boring to stay in the inn every day, so they went out and about. Xue Sifu smeared the faces of the two children a little, concealing the outstanding features of the two children. He gave the two children ordinary children’s clothes. Then, he held each hand and went shopping.
No one was following him. He was alone with the two children. He walked on the street as ordinary as he could be. Thankfully, they did not attract any attention.
This was a rare trip to another city. When they saw something new, they felt that their families would like it. Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sifu missed them so much that they bought whatever they thought was nice for them.
