Chapter 170: It is The Star
170 It is The Star
Jun Zhenxian almost cried when he looks at the person inside the carriage. For the first time in his life, he feels immense relief to see her looking as good as it can be. He stands on the spot for several seconds to deliver the information into his head before his face broke into a smile.
He gets in impatiently and urges the driver to take him home as fast as possible. It didn't take a long time for the carriage to reach their home, but it took him the entire journey to calm his heart.
He steps out from the carriage and look at the person in front of him.
"Hua'er… you're alive."
Jun Hua smiled weakly. She never expected that her grandfather reaction will be this great. "Grandpa, do you think I will die that easily?"
"No, of course you don't."
"You're worrying too much. I had almost done in by their trap, but it's not like I hadn't had my preparation for this," Jun Hua smiled.
"You have planned for this?"
"Not this incident, I'm not that good to the point of predicting their scheme. But, I have already prepared for my own death."
Jun Zhenxian eyes almost popped out. This brat, do you even know what you are saying? You almost died and I had flung into rage, if you were to die for real, what do you think my reaction would be? I would destroy the whole capital, and if it's needed, the whole country.
"Not real death, fake death," Jun Hua rolled her eyes as if she knows what her grandfather is thinking.
"Why are you faking your death? Don't you want to keep leading Jun family into rising?" Jun Zhenxian didn't understand. If they want the Jun family to flourish, don't they need someone strong to lead them?
Jun Hua smiled. "You will know about it soon enough, Grandpa. We need to finish the matter on hand first."
"You mean, the judgment for Lan family, I will take care of that. You should just prepare yourself and don't do anything dangerous anymore. Are you hurt anywhere?"
"There is a slight burn on my hand, but it's not serious," Jun Hua said quickly as she sees her grandfather is going to fly into rage again. "I will get it treated after we come back, but make it a secret. No one should know that I got burnt."
"Alright."
Despite that was what Jun Hua said, Jun Zhenxian still run here and there to fetch people to get medicine and all. The burnt is not big and with medicine, it won't leave any mark. After the doctor ensuring Jun Zhenxian that the wound won't leave any mark, he could finally feel calm and ease.
"What exactly happened in that room of fire?"
Jun Hua looks towards her grandfather. "They prepared drinks with sleeping medicine. I'm sure that Lan Gao Ya only targeted me, but she is the one who falls asleep for real. When I approached her, I notice a pouch on her. It doesn't make sense to use it when she is trying to make me fall asleep. That's when I noticed that the scheme is overlapped, which means there are two people who are scheming for different things.
I hurriedly prepared for everything before waking Lan Gao Ya. At that time, the fire had spread and I could only bundles her into wet blanket to safe her."
"How did you get out?" this is the question he wants to ask the most.
Jun Hua smiled. "I'm the one who destroyed the pillar. That is the reason my hands got burn. As for getting out, it's easy with my martial arts to slip from the back of the building before it collapses."
Jun Zhenxian remembers the special method she could employ to boost her speed. If she used that, travelling a far distance in a second wouldn't be impossible. But, the danger to stay in that kind of room is still really big.
"If you want to do something dangerous, you should have told me beforehand," Jun Zhenxian chided. He doesn't want to feel like today anymore.
Jun Hua laughed. "I won't be going to the battlefield anymore, so there won't be any time when you're feeling that much anxious anymore. I will stay on the baseline and watch the fight from afar."
"Coming from you, it still feels suspicious."
"Grandpa!"
After a long time, Jun Hua manages to ensure Jun Zhenxian that she's alright. She turned towards Xia who is looking on the side anxiously.
"Don't look at me that way, Xia. I'm not going anywhere."
"But Miss, when they are saying that you have died, almost all of us cannot believe it," Xia sulked. Jun Hua didn't tell anyone about this plan since it's dangerous and she might get hurt for real. Besides, some of her people won't be able to act as if it's not real, for example her grandfather.Because of that, there is no way Xia could know what Jun Hua is planning.
By the shadow, Yamin truly wants to beg her Miss to never do that anymore. She too almost cannot believe it when they heard the news. Seeing that Jun Hua is saved and that incident is partially her plan truly makes them relieved.
"Someday I will die, but not today," Jun Hua smiled.
"Miss…"
Jun Hua laughed. That much is true because she is still a human. She turned around in her bed and covered herself with the blanket. Today is truly tiring, she wants to have some sleep first.
Seeing their Miss is tired, Xia didn't say anything anymore and stand by the side while Yamin guard the area carefully. They won't let anyone hurt her.
…
Lan Ping and Lan Gao Ya are interrogated individually. Both of them cannot keep it secret and soon, the truth comes out. What makes them shocked is the fact that Lan Gao Ya actually wants to try to seduce a boy younger than her. Lan Ping helped her is something that can be considered as natural thing. That was their conclusion for they didn't know the thought Lan Ping had towards his cousin.
With the interrogation method the government employed, both of them feel that they are going through the worst day in their life. After the interrogation ended, the two of them finally could rest in a separated prisoner room.
"It shouldn't have ended this way," Lan Gao Ya hugged her feet. She didn't dare to move around because she's tired and hungry. With this plan, she hoped that she could get close to Jun Min, who would have thought that this plan would backfire?
Between a general and a young girl like her, which one would Lan Teng try to protect more?
That was such a simple question with obvious answer. For someone as smart as Lan Gao Ya, she knows that there is no hope left for her. They would blame everything unto her and let Lan Ping go. What a good result that is!
"Trying to blame me? Truly like their way."
Lan Gao Ya still remembers the incident back in her younger days very clear. Because she's still very young, they let her go, but they didn't know that she know the matter as clear as day.
She hates her uncle very much for cooperating with that emperor in order to seize the control of Lan family. He didn't feel that killing his own brother and nephew are wrong. Lan Gao Ya always hides the fact that she knows about it and behaves like a good and somewhat ordinary smart girl. But, now everything had ended.
The girl eyes are looking towards the faraway place, her fist is clenched so tightly until her hand is bleeding. Who dares to ruin the scheme she had planned perfectly?
Lan Gao Ya eyes are staring with heated fire. Today is the most humiliating day for her to get her scheme ruined. She thought that he would…
"Forget it, since Jun Min is death, it will be better if I leave," Lan Gao Ya lips curved up. If there is anyone seeing this scene, their eyes would surely pop out. The girl whom everyone thought as a weak girl, especially with her pitiful appearance before, is not truly weak.
