819 Three Little Black Eggs (3)
The Saintess heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the face she had been yearning for.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?” Yan Jiuchao said.
The Saintess shook her head. “No, I haven’t seen you in a long time. I want to see you.”
Yan Jiuchao looked at her gently and dotingly and said, “I originally planned to save you on the day of the wedding. Who would have thought that you would be so smart as to escape by yourself? Are you hungry?”
The Saintess opened her mouth. “I…”
Yan Jiuchao looked at her slightly bulging stomach and smiled lightly. “Even if you’re not hungry, he should be.”
The Saintess’ eyes flashed. Yan Jiuchao held her hand again. This time, her fingertips moved, but she did not pull her hand out. Yan Jiuchao led her to the other end of the alley. She looked at the courtyard behind her. “Aren’t we… going back?”
Yan Jiuchao said, “I’ll bring you to a good place.”
The Saintess lowered her eyes and glanced at their hands. Her heart raced and an indescribable feeling flowed in her heart. “Yan… Yan Jiuchao.”
“Huh?”
The Saintess touched her hot cheek with her other hand. “Nothing. I’m just calling you.”
The wind was blowing. Yan Jiuchao took off his cloak and gently draped it over her. He then tied the ribbon for her, his eyes gentle and focused.
Initially, the Saintess was only curious. She had lived for so many years and did not know what love felt like. However, at this moment, she looked at him and felt his considerate remarks, as if she understood the small happiness that that woman inadvertently revealed.
No woman in the world could withstand the doting of such a perfect and focused man.
“Done.” Yan Jiuchao tied the ribbon and looked at her dotingly. He pulled her slightly cold hand, gentle but not frivolous.
The Saintess let him hold her hand and walked into the crowd.
Yu Wan fell asleep for a long time. When she woke up, it was already the day of her wedding. She was dizzy and felt that her body did not belong to her. Someone helped her into the bathtub and bathed and changed her clothes.
“All of you, get out. I’ll serve the Saintess.”
“Yes!”
Saintess… What Saintess?
Yu Wan opened her eyes in a daze and saw a face that was not unfamiliar. However, because of the medicine, her reaction was slow, so it was a while before she recognized the other party as the Saintess’ trusted envoy.
Wasn’t she going to serve the Saintess? What was she doing on her body?
The holy envoy brought over a soap that emitted the fragrance of flowers and carefully styled Yu Wan’s long hair.
Yu Wan leaned against the bathtub. The more she was pushed around, the more awake she became. The holy envoy stood behind Yu Wan and did not notice that she had opened her eyes.
Yu Wan looked around and was immediately stunned. What was going on with this room that was filled with the word “happiness”? Could it be that even her personal room had to be touched by joy during the Saintess’s wedding?
“Holy Envoy Li, the Saintess’s oil is ready.” Outside the screen, a maidservant reported.
“Bring it in,” said the holy envoy.
“Yes.”
The maidservant brought the oil into the room. The holy envoy dipped her fingertip in it and gently applied it on Yu Wan’s hair.
Yu Wan sensed that something was wrong now. Why was she using the thing she offered to the Saintess on her? Also, why was she dressing up for the Saintess’ wedding? Was the Saintess’ wedding already so particular that she wanted to take the hostage?
Clang!
“Ah!”
Something in the room shattered. The holy envoy quickly went around the screen. “What happened?”
“Holy Envoy Li, the bracelet accidentally broke.”
“Forget it, I’ll go to the storeroom to get another pair. You guys stay here and don’t go in and disturb the Saintess.”
“Yes!”
Saintess? Where did this Saintess come from?
Yu Wan looked around and did not see a second figure. She supported herself out of the bathtub with her hand, wrapped her robe around her, and walked out of the screen strangely.
The maidservants in the room knelt on the ground. “Saintess!”
Yu Wan was shocked!!! She turned around. There, there was no Saintess…
At this point, Yu Wan did not realize that her face had changed. It was not until she walked to the bronze mirror and took a closer look that she was dumbfounded.
This-this-this… This wasn’t her face!
Yu Wan touched her head, and the “Saintess” in the mirror also touched her head. Yu Wan pinched her ears, and the “Saintess” in the mirror also pinched her ears. What was going on? How did she become a Saintess?
Yu Wan subconsciously touched her stomach. Fortunately, her stomach was still there! She had not transmigrated again.
However, why would she have the face of the Saintess?
She had probably been unconscious for a few days and had not eaten much. She had lost weight, but she was still more plump than the Saintess. However, this group of people did not notice her at all. Or perhaps, even if they did, they did not dare to suspect the Saintess.
Yu Wan looked at herself in the bronze mirror again. Since her body was hers, it seemed that this face had been forcefully tampered with. Back in the Young Master Manor, Yu Wan had seen a special mask. Because it was similar to a complete face, it was called a human skin mask.
Could it be that she had that thing on her face too?
It was said that the human skin mask could not be worn with too much expression, otherwise, it would fall off easily.
Yu Wan winked at the mirror and pouted.
The maidservants secretly glanced at the Saintess whose facial features were twitching and were so frightened that they almost knelt on the ground!
It couldn’t drop…
Yu Wan frowned strangely and tried to remove it again.
“This is too well pasted.”
She couldn’t take it off!!!
“I already said that these things have to be moved to the bridal room in time!”
Holy Envoy Li’s voice came from down the corridor. Yu Wan recalled Holy Envoy Li’s abnormal reaction and confirmed that she was the Saintess’ accomplice. Yu Wan took a cloak, put on her hat, and left without looking back.
The holy envoy entered the room and saw that the bathtub was empty. She immediately frowned. “Where’s the Saintess?”
The maidservants said in unison, “She went out.”
“She’s awake?” The effect of the medicine should at least be able to last through the bridal chamber…
Everyone looked at her in confusion. What do you mean she’s awake?
“Not good!” Holy Envoy Li’s eyes turned cold as she walked out.
Yu Wan still remembered the way she came, and only remembered this path. After leaving the Holy Temple, she had no choice but to detour back to the Sikong Manor. Today was Sikong Yun and the Saintess’ big day, and the manor was bustling with activity. The servants were in a hurry, and for a moment, no one noticed her.
Even so, she did not dare to let her guard down.
She quickly walked towards the entrance of the secret passageway. At this critical juncture, she could only hide in the Nether Mountain. However, in order to prevent anything from happening to the guests today, the secret passageway of the Nether Mountain had long been guarded by guards.
Yu Wan thought to herself that something was wrong and turned to look for another place to hide.
At this moment, Holy Envoy Li chased after him with Huazhi and a few trusted holy envoys.
