Chapter 140 The Pushing Hands in the Dark

A fire turned the medical clinic into ashes and Ning Hai couple became homeless. Without Magic Doctor Chang, they did not have any assured living source. Ning Hai had some regrets and planned to return to his hometown, but his wife was unwilling to come back. Even if Ning Hai beat and scolded her, she made up her mind to stay in the capital and live the life as the upper class did. Ning Hai had no way but to find a temporary job. Ning Hai’s wife was so patient that she still hung around the medical clinic, though it had been ruined. She wanted nothing but to come across the noble woman. However, after several months, she did not get any news. Ning’s wife ran out of her patience and ran to the palace entrance to try her luck.

That day, You Qingcheng sent Ni Shang out of the palace and happened to see Ning’s wife. Ni Shang did not want You Qingcheng to follow her any longer, so she got off the carriage at the palace entrance, and then flew to the clouds when nobody was around. It was Xiaoyou’s day to get married, and Ni Shang would go to Kunlun to attend the ceremony. How could Ning’s wife slip the chance away? Afraid of making trouble, You Qingcheng stopped the carriage, and Ning’s woman got on the carriage cheekily. She found that the noble woman’s carriage was too shabby, even unable to compare to her own carriage. But she did not know how sinister in the palace. The more osentatious, the faster it was to court death. Although Ning’s wife was a bumpkin, she had such quick wits that she expounded her life miserably in order to win You Qingcheng’s sympathy. You Qingcheng figured out why. When the carriage stopped, Ning’s wife got off the carriage with straight body and raised head. Ning Hai saw his wife and came up to pull her clothes to go back. But he was pulled back by Ning’s wife. Ning Hai burst into anger, because he had been busy all day long, but could not see his wife when returning home. He thought he must had bad luck of eight generations so that he married this woman. The more Ning Hai thought, the angrier he got. He pulled her long hair and went back. Ning’s wife was scared, because her husband had never been so furious before. You Qingcheng could not bear to see it any longer. So she unveiled the curtain and got off the carriage. Ning Hai loosened his hands at the sight of the noble woman. He utterly lost his face today! Ning Hai turned back with sighs. Last time, his back was still straight, but after several months, the back became stooped. Obviously, he lived a rather poor life. Thinking that the palace still needed a handyman, You Qingcheng had an idea. Ning’s wife did not believe it even if they had arrived at the entrance of the palace. It was so easy to enter the palace. Just like a dream! Ning Hai was worried about his wife’s life. Totally different from the marketplace, the palace was full of plots. Ning Hai knew well about his wife. Her mouth would not let her come out of the palace alive. But Ning Hai had no other place to go, as the house in the hometown had been burnt as well. So he had to take one step and look around before taking another.

You Qingcheng had made good arrangement in the palace, and the palace servants who kept watch at night had taken a rest. Ning’s couple came to the palace for the first time. Ning Hai moved cautiously and followed the noble woman with his head down. But Ning’s wife was utterly different. She kept looking around and could not take a further step when seeing something precious. You Qingcheng urged with some discontent to Ning’s wife. Along the way, maids did open Ning’s wife’s eyes. All of the maids were young and pretty, and Ning Hai was attracted by the little maidservants passing by. You Qingcheng hoped that they two would not stir up any trouble.

Before the Queen arrived at the Eastern Palace, Shui’er had prepared exquisite food. Little maidservants knelt down on the ground. Only then did Ning’s wife realize that the noble woman was the Queen, and then she was at a loss what to do. Ning Hai had some experiences, but he was stil scared to kneel on the ground, and did not dare to pick himself up. Ning’s wife learned from her husband and also knelt on the ground. Shui’er stared at Ning’s couple. Here was internal palace. But the Queen took two strangers back. Wasn’t she afraid that some base persons would gossip about it. After all, the handyman in the palace were all sent from the Department of Internal Affairs. But now the Queen took person into the palace privately. Shui’er was worried about her master, hoping that the old couple could know how to behave in the palace and did not make any trouble. Ning Hai did not dare to pick himself up. Ning’s wife got numb on her knees. When she was about to stand up, Ning Hai pulled her up hard and she had to fell backwards with hands and legs in the air. Shui’er was dumbfounded, and the Ning’s wife’s awkward body amuzed You Qingcheng a lot. When the atmosphere was eased up, Ning’s wife tried her best to pick herself up from the ground and glared at her husband. You Qingcheng asked everybody to stand up and arranged the place for the old couple to live in. It had been at midnight when things were doen. You Qingcheng thought about Liu’er. Did Liu’er say she just want to hang out of the palace? Why hadn’t she come back yet at midnight? You Qingcheng asked several times, but Shui’er answered that she did not see Liu’er as well. You Qingcheng was worried about Liu’er. However, Ni Shang who had gone to Kunlun would never come back.

Jingyu always kept a close eye on the Eastern Palace. She disguised herself as You Qingcheng and won Di Qing’s ardent love. After Yan Shen’s rebellion, Yan Shen did not spare Jingyu’s family and took Jingyu’s mother to the south. Before leaving, he left a word “mess”. Jingyu knew the deep meaning of the word. But it was not an easy job to mess up the imperial harem, because Jingyu herself could not make any decision alone in the place. Even if Jingyu won Di Qing’s favor, it was because she pretended to be You Qingcheng, and it had nothing to do with Jingyu. To emerge with the identity of Jingyu, Jingyu needed to have a sure card. On the other hand, You Qingcheng did not know that danger was everywhere, and she had been plotted by others in the dark. Meanwhile, the Western Palace was not idle as well. When the Eastern Palace came out of the palace, the Western Palace had sent out the finger man. And then, Xiao Liuzi reported that the Eastern Palace took two persons back. You Qingmo came to discuss with Xu Yin, but could not find him several times. Xu Xi told her that his elder brother had come to visit his friends. You Qingmo got angry at Xu Xi’s words, because it was the time to use people, but Xu Yin left without reporting her. But Xu Xi knew that he could not tell the truth that his elder brother had come to Kunlun. It would stir up trouble. Therefore, Xu Xi pretended not to know anything when the Western Palace asked him. You Qingmo had no other choice but to trust Xu Xi and told him what Xiao Liuzi had asked about. Without Xu Yin’s constrain, Xu Xi was too hard to control, and he even let out what the Western Palace had told him. A good pawn was destroyed by Xu Xi. Then, the Eastern Palace was on the alert. You Qingcheng became sterner to Ning’s wife for the fear that the old woman would make any trouble carelessly. Several days ago, she was caught on the scene by Shui’er. At that time, Ning’s wife stole the things and tried to buried them in the garden. And Shui’er discovered it. Ning’s wife cried bitterly with running nose, so You Qingcheng did not investigate it any more. After all, it was You Qingcheng herself to bring the old woman from the Qingyao Town. Ning’s wife behaved herself for some days. But today, she dared to use the Queen’s cosmetics when seeing nobody else around. It was made from naga’s tears. How precious! Ning’s wife rubbed her face white and blue, which made Shui’er almost spit blood. The cosmetics were priceless, but the old woman dared to waste them. In a fit of anger, Shui’er slapped Ning’s wife on the face. Trouble came! The old woman acted shamelessly on the ground. Shui’er was stunned with opened mouth and told it to You Qingcheng. Finally, Ning Hai came to stop his wife. You Qingcheng did not expect that her soft heart created a curse. If she could know what would happen in the future, would You Qingcheng regret having kept the couple in the palace? Although Xu Xi loved You Qingcheng deepely, he did not dare to show his true face, but appeared around You Qingcheng with another look. What had happened in the military camp was always a sore point for You Qingcheng. Even it got faded in the loss of time, the scar was still on her chest. Magic Doctor Chang’s medicine did relieve her anxiety, but the disappearance of Xian’er made You Qingcheng break down completely. For her, Ni Shang was her only friend, but her friend disappeared one day. Shui’er consoled You Qingcheng several times, but it did not work. You Qingcheng smashed everything in the Eastern Palace and threw the torn clothes into the fire. It seemed that the Queen was attacked by her illness again. In the past, Sister Xian’er would wait upon the Queen, and the Queen listened to Xian’er most. But now, where could they find Xian’er? In the Western Palace, Xu Xi could neither sit nor sleep well after hearing You Qingcheng’s illness, because Xu Xi knew the reason clearly. He regretted having done the dirty thing to You Qingcheng. Although two years had passed, You Qingcheng was still hard to get rid of the shadow. That night, Xu Xi came to the Eastern Palace and regretted his mistakes when seeing his Younger Sister You being attacked by her illness. It was Xu Xi himself who had committed the sin.

Xu Xi stayed on the roof for a whole night. Shui’er did not dare to bend over a table to take a rest until You Qingcheng calmed herself down. Shui’er found her master got more irritable these days. What shoud she do if things went on? If it was exposed to those malevolent people, the master would be driven out of the Wu Palace, because the Queen’s bed could not be tainted with any bad luck. Shui’er thought about a method to invite the Princess to live here for a few days. When things got ready, Shui’er was too exhausted to open her eyes. Xu Xi jumped down. It was the first time for him to come to the Eastern Palace. It turned out that Di Qing did not care bout You Qingcheng too much, as the decorations were so ordinary. A jealosy welled up in Xu Xi’s heart. The person on the bed was rather thin and feeble. Xu Xi walked to her slowly. If time could flow backward, Xu Xi would never conduct that dirty thing. Xu Xi squatted down and wiped the tears on the woman’s face. She was so sad even if she slept soundly. It turned out that the thing did cause great damage to Younger Sister You. Xu Xi stayed beside the bed and looked at her quietly. When it got light in the sky, Xu Xi realized that it was time to leave. Xu Xi raised his hands, but dropped. How could he have that good luck? He walked out of the room and disappeared in the depth of the garden. Ning’s wife got up early and prepared the hot water for the Queen. She found that a dark shadow came out of the Queen’s room. Ning’s wife was fond of gossips and showed great curiosity to them. She ran back to their room and shook her husband awake. Ning Hai turned around and rolled down from the bed. Ning’s wife stepped back with fear. After Ning’s wife had been spotted stealing things by Shui’er, You Qingcheng wanted to send her back but Ning Hai saved his wife. However, Ning Hai was required to monitor his wife. Then, Ning’s wife was scared of her husband, even yielded the food to her husband. She did not dare to have meals with Ning Hai at the same table. At first, Ning Hai could not get used to it, but as time went by, he enjoyed the quietness.

“In the early morning, what happened...”

Ning’s wife hurried to come close and murmured to him. Ning Hai changed his mood from surprised to frightened. Did the old woman not want her life? How could she dare to gossip the thing like that? The head would be cut for it! Ning Hai covered his wife’s mouth and glanced around. Ning’s wife’s face was suffocated red. Her fat hands pulled the sleeves away. She puffed for breath after getting rid of the constraint. Ning Hai stared at his old wife. It seemed that she did not lie. Ning Hai knew how serious the issue was. If the old woman spilt it out, the entire Eastern Palace were finished, including Ning Hai. Therefore, Ning Hai warned her again and again. But in Ning’s wife’ mind, it became the seizing chip, and she did not know how serious the issue was. It was not the matter of stealing but about life and death. Ning’s wife was narrow-minded, gluttonous and lazy. She was desperate to be a citizen in the capital, but realized how difficult it was when arriving at the capital. But she envied the noble woman’s life. She had been caught stealing several times, and had her own plots. She just needed to keep a close eye on the master and seize her crucial point, and her life would be changed. Therefore, Ning Hai’s words sounded like farting to Ning’s wife.

The illness of the Eastern Palace came strangely. You Qingmo in the Western Palace laughed up her sleeve. Even the Heaven was helping the Western Palace. Half of a month had passed when Xu Yin returned to the palace. You Qingmo told Xu Yin what had happened to the Eastern Palace. It was a golden chance difficult to meet in a thousand years for the Western Palace. As long as the hysteria of the Eastern Palace was spread out, You Qingcheng would be driven out of the Eastern Palace. It would be most beneficial to the Western Palace. But who were the pushing hands behind the scene? Xu Yin wanted to know it. Seemingly, it was good to the Western Palace, but perhaps someone wanted to murder You Qingcheng with a borrowed knife. Therefore, Xu Yin asked You Qingmo not to act rashly. And they needed to get to the bottom of the plot. You Qingmo showed great trust in Xu’s brothers. But Xu Xi was still worried about You Qingcheng. It turned out that there was a pair of pushing hands behind You Qingcheng’s hysteria. At night when his elder brother fell asleep, Xu Xi came out of the room quietly and rushed to the Eastern Palace. Xu Lin sat up when Xu Xi left. The foolish man ran to send the news secretly. Xu Yin would like to see how the Eastern Palace would react to it. To ferret out the manipulator by others, it would be better for Xu Yin. Since the Jin City had belonged to his youngest brother, Xu Yin thought that as an eldest brother, he should do something to help his youngest brother to be the real King. It was his father’s lifelong dream. Xu Yin hoped to realize for his father.
