Golden Age Legitimate Fei

Chapter 38: Ye Li Was...[Spoilers]

Late at night, it should've been peaceful and calm, but the Minister's Manor, because of tomorrow's wedding ceremony, was brightly lit. Even the servant girls within Ye Li's Qing Yi Court showed a bit of excitement. After all, the Fourth Young Miss marring into Prince Li's Manor was a happy occasion. In the Manor, whether your status was high or low, you would still get some monetary reward.

Ye Li dismissed her servant girls. Just, as usual, she picked up the book and sat by the lamp to continue reading. Once in a while, she would pick up a brush to make notes. Didn't know how much time passed, in the distance, a raucous noise drifted in.

Time gradually disappeared.

Exhausted, Ye Li rubbed her eyebrows and leaned against her chair. Her straight back slowly wilted to the side. Her once bright eyes were slowly steeped in exhaustion. Ye Li tried to open her eyes, but couldn't withstand it. Time passed. Her two eyes gradually closed. The temperature in the room dropped, silence. Occasionally, the crackling of the light could be heard.

A long time later.

A shadowed flashed inside Qing Yi Court. It seemed quite familiar with the pattern and arrangement of things inside the manor. It easily bypassed the guards, jumped across the wall, and disappeared into the night. Inside Qing Yi Court, the boudoir was still elegant, but it was now silent and cold. There were no traces of its owner. Only an open book lay next to the bookcase.

Outside the Capital

In the gloomy forest, a tall, black figure flew straight through the trees. It was not until the figure came across the sight of someone standing erect not too far away that the figure stopped.

"You are late." The man under the reflection of shadows grumbled.

"No, you are early." The black man chuckled. His tone was a bit lazy. He looked at the shadowed face of the man. "I heard that Ye Family's Fourth Young Miss is the most beautiful maiden in the capital. Did not expect it, but there was no interest in the most beautiful maiden. Instead, spending money on a Third Young Miss with no talent or looks. Or is it... Is it this Third Young Miss that is the most beautiful? Earlier, I was in a rush and did not see very clearly. Now looking, not bad." Finished speaking, he placed the person on his shoulders down and removed the hood to reveal a person asleep.

"Enough! You can go." There were more hints of anger and coldness in the man's voice.

The man in black shrugged. "In that case, I wish you good luck." Without delay, he neatly put the maiden on the ground. Shrugging his shoulders a few times, he disappeared into the forest.

The man under the shadow observed the maiden on the ground a moment before stepping from under the tree. By the light of the moon, a solemn face was revealed, staring angrily at the maiden on the ground. His face was originally elegant, but under the moonlight, a ruthlessness shone forth. "Ye Li, don't blame this Prince for being vicious. If you want to blame, blame it on your bad luck. Even if it is something this Prince doesn't need, it is not Mo Xiu Yao's turn to pick it up!" He bent over and reached his hand out, intending to pull at the maiden's collar. But at the moment he wanted to touch, his vision blackened. A pain bloomed on his neck and he fell to the ground.

Originally, the maiden was unconscious, but her two eyes immediately shot open. Conveniently, she pushed the person over. There was a sound behind her, but she simply ignored it.

Ye Li slowly adjusted her clothes and a moment later came upon the man on the ground. Disappointment flashed across her face. When she realized that the incense in her room had a problem, she knew that someone wanted to cause her trouble. Who knew it would be Mo Jing Li. Moreover, the reason was that stupid. Walking around Mo Jing Li, it was the first time she seriously considered this Prince Li and if that brother of his, the Emperor, had spoiled him to the point that his mentality was damaged. He shouldn't be wasting brain cells like this. Carefully, she removed a silk thread from her sleeve and very competently tied the person on the ground up.

Looking at the man tied up tightly, she nodded in satisfaction. Do not look down on her silk thread. Be it durability or flexibility, it was good in all aspects. Unless Mo Jing Li had attained the legendary profound Inner Force from the myths, the strength of a normal person would not be able to break this thread. As for her own binding method, Ye Li was even more assured. Unless Mo Jing Li could shrink himself, he could only wait for someone to come and save him. She just didn't know with Mo Jing Li doing something so immoral, would he bring bodyguards? Looking at the current situation, there doesn't seem to be anybody. Hopefully, he will be able to make the wedding tomorrow; Ye Li thought irresponsibly. In the end, she kicked him to vent her anger and then, using her memories, left the wooded area.
