Chapter 912: 2

Chapter 909: what do you want old man —-2" Magistrate Li, is something the matter?" Seeing that Magistrate Li was standing in a daze, Village head Gu could not help but ask. Why was this woman standing in a daze like this, did she see something scary? However, as Village Head Gu turned to look in the direction in which Magistrate Li was looking she did not find anything or anyone worth this reaction, so why was Magistrate Li looking at the crowd with that expression?        

Yu Dong also followed Magistrate Li's gaze but did not find anyone. But when she thought about all sorts of troubles which were brewing in the capital, she decided to turn a blind eye to everything, there was no need for her to look around and find something that might bring chaos to her life.      

It was not that she was afraid of trouble but only a fool would rush ahead and smash their leg on the sharp edge of an axe despite knowing the consequences.    

On the other hand, Magistrate Li looked at Yun Xuan who waved his hand from the top of the tree where he was sitting and mouthed Magistrate Li to come and look for him.  Seeing him wave his hand, Magistrate Li scrunched her brows up, she did not understand why these people were coming to the Big River Village, she could not ignore them.    

She sighed and then said to Yu Dong, " I will be leaving for now and as for the testimony, we will do that on the third day after the new year. Is that fine?"      

" As long as it's all right with you, I have nothing to say," Yu Dong answered with a slight flicker in her eyes to which Magistrate Li nodded and replied, " Then I will wait for you outside the yamen on the fourth day."      

With that she turned to leave as Yu Dong bowed to her, seeing  Magistrate Li leave suddenly like this, Village head Gu couldn't help but ask, " Why is she in a hurry like this?"      

" Who knows, maybe she has something to do," as Yu Dong spoke she glanced at the tree where no one was sitting anymore and calmly turned her gaze away. Just now she did sense someone's presence but since they did not seem to have any malicious intentions, she ignored them and focussed her attention on Magistrate Li acting as if she hadn't seen them.      

….    

Inside the carriage, Magistrate Li turned to look at Yun Xuan who was sipping on the tea which was freshly brewed and was giving off a sweet jasmine scent and calmly asked, " Why are you here?"      

" I got stranded from my wife here," Yun Xuan answered without taking his eyes off the steam which was wafting off the surface of the tea. " We were chased by the soldiers of the First Princess, I knew that we will not be able to escape which was why I chose to sacrifice myself. I did not expect that someone in this village will be able to treat such a potent poison."      

He then raised his head and looked at Magistrate Li before asking, " Is Yu Dong the one who came with the process of making rice bran oil?"      

" It seems that you already know," Magistrate Li spoke as she glanced at Yun Xuan who smiled gently and remarked, " She is a woman who is hard to ignore, which is why I knew that she was different from the second I saw her for the first time. But that is not important, what's important is that you need to increase the security of this place … sooner or later First Princess will make some big move."

When Magistrate Li heard Yun Xuan's words, her eyes turned gloomy as her expression turned grim, she clenched the fingers in her lap and asked, " Is her majesty still sick?"      

If the Empress was still on her sick bed then there was a chance that the imperial city might go through some big changes which they have never expected.      

Yun Xuan sighed upon hearing her question and then turned to look outside the window as he replied, " I am afraid that her majesty is already dying."      

" What?" With a jolt, Magistrate Li raised her head and looked at Yun Xuan with shock in her eyes.    

Dying? That tyrant was dying? If she dies then what will happen to them?    

" Don't be surprised, Little Li," Yun Xuan stated firmly as he turned to look at her and frowned. " The reason, the first princess is making such rash decisions is that her majesty is in trouble. If not do you think that the first princess would have made such a loud ruckus? Though the commoners have no idea, we officials are smarter than that, clearly, her majesty's life is in danger and because of this, the first princess has no qualms about making so much trouble."      

" Then why didn't she usurp the throne right away?" Magistrate Li asked with a frown to which Yun Xuan smiled and then said, " You are underestimating her majesty too much, she loves her throne more than her life. There is no way she is going to hand it so easily, she has hidden away the dragon seal as well as the imperial sword. Without these two things even if the first princess wants to usurp the throne she cannot do so, for that she will have to bring the dragon seal out for the officials to see."      

Only then did Magistrate Li sigh in relief  and said, "These troubles could have been avoided if only her majesty gave up her throne."      

" What can we say about the mind of the ruler? We can only accept her decisions whether wise or foolish."    

…..    

On the other side, after the crowd parted, Lin Tianhui who was walking back to her home but as soon as she arrived at the door of her house, she was pulled back by someone and dragged towards the forest, at first she did not understand what was going on but when she saw the familiar face, she understood and rolled her eyes before asking, " What are you doing old man Tong?"
