Lin Jian knew that Yao Ying wouldn鈥檛 dare to do something like that. But... a glowing symbol? How could he believe in such a farfetched thing?! "Can you swear about it?" He still asked in disbelief, making Yao Ying rolled his eyes in amusement. He wouldn鈥檛 believe it too if he didn鈥檛 see it with his own eyes ah~!
"I swear. If I lie, I will be struck by lightning!" Yao Ying swore seriously. He didn鈥檛 lie so he didn鈥檛 feel afraid to swear for real.
With this, Lin Jian could only believe him. Chinese people took their oath seriously and wouldn鈥檛 lie just to risk their lives.
"Now... she鈥檚 not waking up..." Yao Ying finally told him the thing that he was worried about. "I don鈥檛 think this happens because I hit the back of her head, after all, I only did it lightly. She was supposed to wake up a long time ago... I have a gut feeling that it has something to do with the glowing symbols... I don鈥檛 know who to turn to for this matter to be cleared up..."
Yao Ying was also afraid that this happened because he stopped the forming words to be able to fully finished assembling itself ah~!
Yao Ying admitted the reason he called them was that he needed their help. Lin Jian quickly turned to Xiao Fang, because this matter was related to the Han people so maybe she would know something. "Do you know something about that forbidden place?"
Xiao Fang shook her head helplessly. "Since I was a little girl, it has been implanted in my mind that it鈥檚 a forbidden place. Thus, I never really inquire about that matter. It鈥檚 not connected to me anyway, hence I never pay special attention to it. Besides, Uncle Qiu always tells me not to inquire about that matter."
Yao Ying and Lin Jian sighed. They were also at a loss at what to do. Yao Ying suddenly had an idea and he quickly asked Xiao Fang, "Do you have any idea whether Uncle Qiu would know something about this or not?"
Because of Xiao Fang鈥檚 last words, Yao Ying was pretty sure that Uncle Qiu should know something about it!
Xiao Fang鈥檚 eyes lit up prettily. "I don鈥檛 know about that! However, I can try to inquire about it to Uncle Qiu." She knew that Uncle Qiu used to hold an important position in the court, so... he should know something about this matter, right?
Yao Ying was feeling a bit worried whether Uncle Qiu could be trusted or not, after all, this matter was quite important for Yao Ling. Because it was connected to the treasures inside that place, he knew that there was a possibility it would be a danger to Yao Ling, if this matter was known by the wrong person. He felt a bit worried about asking to an involved person regarding this glowing symbols.
However, they had no other choice. Uncle Qiu was the only person that they could be trusted at this point. Who else that they could turn to except for him?
Yao Ying gave a little warning to Xiao Fang, "Can you only inquire a little bit what inside that forbidden place is first? Don鈥檛 mention anything about Yao Ling... or what happened to her. Can you do that?" Yao Ying didn鈥檛 try beat around the bush which made Xiao Fang quite taken aback.
Xiao Fang nodded hesitantly. "Yes, I can. But why? Shouldn鈥檛 I ask him as clearly as possible to know how to wake Yao Ling up?"
Lin Jian understood what Yao Ying meant, thus, he agreed with his thoughts. "Xiao Fang, I agree with Yao Ying. It鈥檚 not because we can鈥檛 trust Uncle Qiu, but walls have ears. You certainly have to find Uncle Qiu around Bao Bei鈥檚 cage, right? I鈥檓 afraid that random people would accidentally hear your conversations. Not only that, you see how many people are searching for Yao Ling, right? They must have paid a closer look to other people鈥檚 movement..."
Lin Jian could only give this reason to appease Xiao Fang. They might not trust Uncle Qiu, but he was Xiao Fang鈥檚 Godfather and Xiao Fang must have trusted him a lot. They couldn鈥檛 hurt her feelings by saying it to her face ah~! That stupid Yao Ying! Lin Jian grumbled to himself.
Xiao Fang was able to accept this reasoning and she nodded in agreement. She knew that she couldn鈥檛 talk about last night鈥檚 matter --- even to Uncle Qiu at the moment.
"I will go now..." Xiao Fang quickly made a decision and directly tried to find Uncle Qiu.
Xiao Fang found him near Bao Bei鈥檚 cage --- just like what Lin Jian had predicted before. Thus, she knew that Lin Jian was correct. "Godfather, are you busy?" Xiao Fang asked with a wide smile.
"Ah, Xiao Fang... not really... Is there something that you want to ask?" Uncle Qiu asked her directly. Judging from Xiao Fang鈥檚 curious look, she must have something to talk about.
"Godfather... how do you know?!" Xiao Fang asked in surprise.
Uncle Qiu rolled his eyes. "You are my goddaughter. I watch you grow up from small until now ah~ How could I not understand your expression?"
"Ah... that鈥檚 also true," Xiao Fang laughed in embarrassment.
"So... what is it about?" Uncle Qiu asked.
"Godfather ah~ what is actually inside that place?" Xiao Fang pointed at the forbidden place. "You have been here for a long time, so you should know something about it, right?"
Uncle Qiu furrowed his eyebrows. "You have never asked this question before. What鈥檚 with the sudden question?"
Xiao Fang admitted truthfully. "I become curious because of last night鈥檚 commotion ah~... Suddenly, there were a lot of guards anywhere..."
"You asked them about it?" Uncle Qiu asked. He didn鈥檛 want Xiao Fang to be involved in this matter, but it seemed like it was too late. He had tried to prevent the guards from coming to Xiao Fang鈥檚 courtyard, so how come she knew about this?
Uncle Qiu didn鈥檛 calculate wrongly. Xiao Fang actually didn鈥檛 know anything about it because she didn鈥檛 hear any commotion last night. She only knew about this matter from Lin Jian just now.
Xiao Fang nodded. "Yes, my friend accidentally met those guards and he asked about that matter. I become curious... that鈥檚 why I asked you about it..." She explained briefly. It would be better if she answered him honestly because it would be easy for him to inquire about what she had just said.
Uncle Qiu sighed. He almost forgot about her new friends. Even though he had prevented the guards from letting them know, if they went out of their room on their own... there would be no way to suppress the news. After all, the whole guards were mobilized last night.
Uncle Qiu nodded his head. He knew about the treasures inside that forbidden place and this matter was only known to a few people that the Han Emperor had trusted. Should he tell Xiao Fang about it?
It wasn鈥檛 a good thing to know about the thing inside. A lot of people had been killed by the Han Emperor because they accidentally knew about the secret. Because he stayed here, the Han Emperor also gave him a side job --- to pay attention to the forbidden place.
