The Unknown Beauty 213 Bye 2

The others follow pursuit and sat around the table. As if Lin Yu Yan knew, there was room for the Chu Emperor, Guo Jinsong, Hua Maoli, Xie Rong's family, Quan Su Wen, and Lin Sheng. 

They also sat around the table. Of course, Lin Sheng had no idea what it was so Quan Su Wen helped him.

Everyone started to slice the pancakes and eating them. 

"Sweet… the pancakes are so sweet…" said Wei Ru. Tears started rolling down his face, one by one, creating a stream. 

"Yeah, It's very sweet!" said Chu Yang. She was already balling her eyes out. 

"The pancake is too sweet to eat!" said Peng Ai.

"It's too fluffy and warm!" said Wu Lang.

They all didn't say anything at the discussion the other day because they knew she was going to leave no matter what they said so the didn't say anything at all. 

Wu Lang and Kenzhi joined in the tears. Lin Zhi Zhen comforted her son as Wu Long Long comforted her brother. Xie Rong looked down eating the delicious pancakes while his kids were telling him everything will be okay. 

Meiying chewing her pancake slowly looking down and Zhao Xiu Mei was rubbing her back. Gu Xiang was next to Chu Yang holding her hand, trying to not cry. 

The Chu Emperor, Quan Su Wen, and the others were surprised. They didn't think they would feel this much pain for her going away. She made such a big impact on so many people.

Especially Lin Sheng, who also felt the same. He looked at the plate of pancakes, not sure if he should eat it. He knew from the other's expression, Lin Yu Yan made it. He took a turn eating the pancake. It fit his taste pretty well, surprised Lin Yu Yan remembered his taste of food and he kept grabbing for more.

"Yeah… this is too sweet," he said. Quan Su Wen looked over at him. He was crying with his mouth full of pancakes. She held his hand tight. 

"So this is how she felt…" he said, trying to hold in. 

'... when I left her alone. The only difference is, we're not alone anymore,' he thought, trying to finish his plate of pancakes.

It's been 6 months since Lin Yu Yan left without a trace. The people in the Chu Empire are adjusting well to the new rules. 

Lin Zhi Zhen is known to be the real Lady Lin and the citizens are just normal. But only time could tell if the change of the Chu Emperor's system will actually make a difference. 

He made a few rules for the citizens to follow about anything that has to do with Lady Lin:

1. You must not speak about Lady Lin. 

2. Any painting of Lady Lin will be burned as soon as possible. Not for her safety but for everyone's safety. 

3. Any new information about Lady Lin must be reported straight to the Emperor as soon as possible.

4. Call her by her name, not her surname.

5. Treat her like a normal citizen.

Luckily because Lin Zhi Zhen now has her strength back, she placed an even stronger barrier with the help of Lin Yu Yan's tags, making it undetectable. Since they are being protected by her, they treat her as she wishes. 

Kenzhi, Xie Rong, Meiying stayed behind to help the Chu Empire get back on their feet. 

Wang Ping, Wang Tingshi, Chu Yang, Gu Xiang, and Wei Ru returned back to the Wang Empire to report what has happened. It was a rough 3 days in Feng City since they were targets the moment they set foot in the area. 

Everyone back in Taiyang City were freaking out, knowing that she now has to run and hide in order for the rest of them to be safe.

Peng Ai has left and gone to the North Continent with Quan Yi Ying and Guo Jinsong. Guo Jinsong has a thing for her since they are about the same age. Fell in love at first sight when he met her at the Ma residence when she showed them the way to the meeting.

Quan Yi Ying needed some answers and traveled back with Peng Ai to the Water God Shrine, where he originally was from. 

Quan Su Wen was in the process of taking over the Tang Pharmacy. She's been very busy lately but that doesn't stop her from getting close to her family. 

She does get sad knowing that her sisters had died from the hands of Quan Yi Ying, which is why he tried to stay away from her, but he was the one closest to her when she was still in the hands of her father. She appreciates all the sacrifices he made for her and loves him like a brother, making sure he knows that.

Quan Su Wen got her revenge on her father, sadden she didn't get to kill him when she had the chance. But after a few months passed, she's glad that he's still alive. She wanted him to watch her grow in the happiness she was able to achieve with her own hands. 

'So that's is why Lin Yu Yan left him alive… is it because she now feels guilty for killing her grandfather, uncle, aunt, and cousin?' she thought.

She was in the middle of looking at some paperwork and signing them, getting approved for some of the purchases they have to make. 

"Su Wen, we found them," said Lin Sheng. He came through the window.

"About time," said Quan Su Wen. 

She finished off and Lin Sheng led the way to where the captured people are. To her surprise, the Chu Emperor is already there. 

"Take this one," he said. He turns to see Quan Su Wen nodded her head and followed them back to the interrogation room.

They caught the group that has been leaking information outside of Feng City. They tie down one of the men onto a chair and the Chu Emperor started interrogating him. With only the Chu Emperor and Quan Su Wen in the room, no matter how hard they tried, he would not talk. They tortured him to no end and he still wouldn't talk. 

Meiying heard the news and took some time to make it to the torture room. When she entered the room, she recognized the man right away.

"Hey... you're the receptionist at the inn we stayed at...," Meiying said. 

That's when it hit her. All the information they spoke of in the Inn, they have heard. Which means they might know everything that has happened to the Chu Emperor and the palace.  Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"No... everyone in the Inn was in on this! We thought you guys were genuinely hushing up your mouths!" 

The man being integrated, eyes widened. His body trembled. They thought all if Lin Yu yan's people would return back to the empire because Chu Yang left. 

Since Chu Yang was the first general of the Chu Empire, they would have thought she stayed but since she didn't, they thought they would have all left. 

"Hahaha!" the man started laughing. "It's too late!"

Next thing you know his body goes limp. He stopped moving. 

"Hey!" said Meiying. 

"What's going on!?" said the Chu Emperor. 

But the body was already starting to get cold. Meiying tried to find a pulse but he didn't have one. He has poisoned himself. Quan Su Wen opened the man's mouth and saw a flesh-colored leftover of a ball that he popped in his mouth filled with poison. 

Then a foul odor reeked throughout the room. 

"Cover your mouth!" said Quan Su Wen. 

Meiying ran for the door to let the odor out. It was spreading fast, making it unusual, bringing suspicious.

Meiying is immune to some poisons and could create an antidote pretty fast with the help of Quan Su Wen so she took the chance to sniff the odor.

"Dead carcass? There's isn't a poison that smells like this..." she said, letting the rest know it's safe. 'Why would they use such a foul smell in their poison?' 

Lin Sheng ran as fast as he could when he noticed the smell and to report something. 

"All the prisoners... They are dead!" he said.

"If what you said is true, then-!" said Meiying.

"It's a signal, the smell is a signal," said Quan Su Wen.

"To signal that the cover has been blown and they have no choice but to die," said the Chu Emperor. 

"This is the rare smell of a huge flower that belongs in the jungle on the West Continent called, the Corpse's Wife."

"Which means Lin Yu Yan is in danger! The information must have been sent already!" said Meiying.

Everyone in the room was shocked at the turn of events. 

Then out of nowhere, Lin Sheng whistled cut the silence. Then through the door, a small owl, quiet as can be, flew and landed on Lin Sheng's stretched out arm. 

"Fukuro..." said Quan Su Wen.

"We need to let her know as soon as possible," said Lin Sheng.
