Chapter 1617 - 1617 Weakened Considerably From His Illness1617 Weakened Considerably From His Illness
Bada was taken aback. He thought he had heard wrong.
He followed his master’s gaze but saw nothing noteworthy.
“Master, who are you talking about…” he asked.
“There’s a young lady inside the horse-drawn carriage of Princess Consort Rui. That young lady looks very much like a certain someone.” The man’s deep voice carried shades of regret.
Bada was astonished but remembered to lower his voice. “Do you mean to say it’s her daughter?”
The man nodded. “If my guess is correct.” As he said this, a mischievous look flashed in his eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis trip to the Yan Kingdom was about to be an interesting one.
Bada could tell from his master’s tone that he was up to something. He felt anxious now.
“Master, we made the trip here to get medicine. We can’t…”
“What are you worried about, Bada?” The man frowned. However, the moment he finished his sentence, the man began coughing drily.
Bada jumped and quickly helped pat his back.
After his coughing had subsided, the master and servant duo ceased chatting and followed the crowd out of the city.
They did not set out immediately after they got out of the city. They stood at a hidden corner and watched the city gates.
Bada knew what his master was thinking about. The only thing that had been on his mind for all these years was Lu Liangwei, the Empress of Great Shang.
If Danjue had not gone through a political uprising back then when they were in the Yan Kingdom, his master would have brought Lu Liangwei back to Danjue.
However, the sudden uprising forced his master to hurry back to Danjue.
Even though his master had returned in time to stop the civil strife, he had to pay a big price.
That civil strife had weakened Danjue as a country and they could only stay on the sidelines all these years to quietly recuperate.
His master had spent fifteen years of work before Danjue finally saw some improvement.
Bada’s master was not healthy—he had weakened considerably from his illness after so many years.
Word had gotten around that the monk returned to the Yan Kingdom, which was why both of them were here to try their luck.
They never expected to bump into Lu Liangwei’s daughter before they found the monk.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBada was feeling unsettled about this.
He had a feeling that nothing good would happen if his master got involved with Lu Liangwei or anyone close to her.
They stood with their backs against the wind for a long time before the carriage from Prince Rui Mansion slowly drove out past the city gates.
Wanyan Jin gave a few coughs before bringing Bada along to follow them.
As there were many people leaving the city for the Temple Festival, no one suspected anything even though they traveled behind the carriage of Prince Rui Mansion. Moreover, they were both in ordinary clothes and their looks did not stand out. The guards treated them as commoners.
After following them for a while, Wanyan Jin suddenly turned around, taking Bada along with him.
He now knew that Princess Consort Rui and the others were on their way to the Temple Festival. He had also detected many hidden powerhouses following them for their protection and he did not want to put them on high alert.
Chen Jin had noticed the pair quite early on, but when he saw them leave, he stopped paying attention to them. He thought they were just commoners who were on their way to the suburbs.
There was already a huge crowd when they arrived at the little town. The carriages could not go any further.
Everyone had no choice but to get off the carriage and walk.
“Wow, there really are a lot of people.” Yaoyao was tongue-tied to see the sheer number of people there. “Looks like there are more people than the time we had our Lantern Festival.”
“This is different. Other countries also celebrate the Lantern Festival just like Great Shang, while our Temple Festival is only held once a year and only in this small town. The people in nearby towns would quickly make their way here while those staying further away would have to arrive early if their living conditions allow them to. That is why there are so many people here,” Hexin explained.
