Hu Nayin hummed happily. Her pregnancy had already in the eighth month, and would soon enter the ninth month. That meant, the baby would be born soon. The child of her love for Zhu Su would soon come to fill this world. She was really on cloud nine.
She was busy adorning the Mansion of Wang Fei with attractive decorations. She replaced the dull lanterns with the new ones, filled the gardens with fresh and new flowers, embellished the table with brightly colored tablecloths, as well as window curtains, rugs, sheets, and other items. Xia Wen and the other court ladies were quite dizzied because Hu Nayin had a unique taste and she was very picky.
"Wang Fei! This is the ninth curtain! Will you choose this curtain or not?"
The curtain man kept forcing a smile although he was exhausted. Hu Nayin thought for a while.
"Hmmm... okay! I choose this one!"
Finally, the ninth curtain was chosen by Hu Nayin to decorate the window.
"Wang Fei, let me guess, you must give birth to a princess." Xia Wen smiled a little. "Because she really likes beauty. Her taste is also extraordinary... Your child will be a very beautiful and smart princess!"
Hu Nayin laughed. "Aww, you! You just flatter me!"
"You will see, that my guess will turn into reality."
Hu Nayin's laughter grew louder. "I'm having a great time today, Xia Wen. You make me very happy! Okay, let me give you this beautiful bracelet!" Hu Nayin handed Xia Wen a bracelet studded with precious stones casually.
"Oh, Wang Fei!... That..."
"Just take it!" Hu Nayin put the bracelet in the young girl's grip. Today Hu Nayin was really happy... excessively happy. She was euphoric. Everything related to Zhu Su would make her so happy and became euphoric.
Hu Nayin walked, sometimes she danced. She waved her hands left and right, and when she smiled broadly, she appeared like a stunningly beautiful goddess coming from heaven. Love can always make someone look stunningly beautiful. Moreover, Hu Nayin loved Zhu Su so much, of course, the beauty that radiated from her face shone much greater.
She was still dancing, when a letter fell in front of her.
Out of curiosity, Hu Nayin picked it up. "What is this?" She quickly opened the letter.
In a flash, her eyes widened wide.
It was a very long letter, consisting of three sheets. The writing on it was also small, like being compressed. Reading page after page, Hu Nayin's expression grew brighter and brighter. She had indeed been happy for the first time, but now she was even happier.
When she closed the letter, she muttered cheerfully.
"I have to go there, right now."
***
The wind was blowing hard when Hu Nayin arrived at the top of the hill. The mountain wind was actually not good for the health of her womb, she also knew about this, but her happiness seemed to make her forget about it.
This was a golden opportunity she should not waste!
The sound of shoes stepping forward startled her. Gazing at the distant panorama below, Hu Nayin soon turned her head.
Yun had come.
"Master Yun!" Hu Nayin greeted her former master cheerfully.
This time, Yun's eyes were different from usual. If she always looked cold because of big hatred, this time she was staring at Hu Nayin warmheartedly and tenderly.
"Finally, Nayin..." Yun said, her voice was full of affection. "Finally you realize, in spite of all, as your teacher, I am still the most important person for you."
"You are indeed so important to me." Hu Nayin responded cheerfully. "I love you, Master, forever and ever!"
"Yes, I also love you very much, Nayin. I'm so glad that you come to me right now."
"Master!..."
"Just as expected!"
"Both of them turned their heads. And immediately, bewildered. What made their hearts almost fall out of their bodies now appeared.
Zhu Su and his daughters, accompanied by dozens of hefty and fully armed San Hu Wei soldiers, now surrounded both of them.
Zhu Su's daughters shouted angrily. "Fu Wang, look! Look at them! Hu Wang Fei indeed has a special relationship with Yun! She collaborates with Yun to bring you down!"
Yun cursed. "Damn you all! How long have you eavesdropped on us?!"
"Shut up, Witch! Your life will be ended soon!"
Yun looked left and right, biting his lip. San Hu Wei soldiers had besieged them. No place left for her to escape.
And, Yun did not even have time to kill herself. The soldiers rushed towards her, in a flash tied her entire body. Then forcing her to kneel down. It was a total dead-end for her.
Yun had been squared away, everyone was now staring agitatedly at Zhu Su and Hu Nayin. Both of them did not budge. As if both of them were turned to stone, eyes widened and mouths fell open. Each of them never expected to view this condition, not even in the least.
Hu Nayin never expected that Zhu Su would be able to find out her private meeting with Yun.
Zhu Su never expected that Hu Nayin, whom he trusted all this time, whom he believed to be loyal forever and ever, apparently betrayed him.
Such a big and painful betrayal!
This unexpected discovery was indeed disappointing, just as Wu Qi said. No, it was even more disappointing. It was not only proven that Hu Nayin was the former disciple of Yun the female shaman, but it also proved that Hu Nayin was secretly cooperating with Yun...
...to bring him down!
Zhu Su's chest was so painful. His soul had already jumped out of his body as he was so shocked by the view. He wanted to slap his cheeks hard, maybe it was only a dream and so he must wake up soon!...
It was not a dream. It was real.
He must accept this reality!
In the absence of any meaningful action from Zhu Su, Zhu Su's daughters seized this opportunity immediately and enthusiastically.
"Hu Wang Fei has committed such a grave sin by betraying His Highness! Her sin is unforgivable! Seize her, and give her the proper punishment!"
