An Jia Li walked with her whole mind focused solely on Da Hua Hall - The Legend of the Black and White Star - Xing Yi. That's the last one! An Jia Li couldn't stop thinking about the novel's author's pen name. An Jia Li had a strange feeling when she remembered Xing Yi's name. Even when he tried to say the name, his voice echoed in his heart so loudly it was as if the name had awakened something within him. Calling her who had been sleeping for so long and saying "how long are you going to sleep here?, wake up quickly!"
In short, An Jia Li's mind is actually curious about the story in the novel, while her soul is curious about the figure of the owner of the pen name Xing Yi. Only those two things made An Jia Li compelled to act recklessly, even though what he did was classified as something that was not serious and looked ordinary. He could have a reason to be in the imperial library because of his status as a servant. He would never be mistaken for a thief, especially since what he visited was the Da Hua hall which only contained a collection of literary shelves and not important imperial archives. However, someone could easily trap him. No one would have thought if the will of fate was still going according to plan.
As soon as An Jia Li entered, she immediately went to the shelf where the novel she was aiming for was located.
"The second series doesn't exist" An Jia Li muttered. Even though she was so curious about the first series, the novel that she had in mind was the second series so naturally he looked for the second series. "Oh. If I'm not mistaken, I dropped it into the box" her tone sounded cheerful again. An Jia Li remembered when she accidentally dropped the novel she was holding into the box of old books that were about to be put away.
"Really a fish that wants to become a dragon"
"Keep going against the current. Even if the river you're swimming in still has water"
Concubine Zhi Yang's figure was in the shadow of a row of bookshelves that became one in a room. It was a room connected to the Da Hua Hall. A special room that the emperor used to read. Whether it's reading to entertain oneself or for study and work that requires calm when the emperor has to be serious about it.
"Where's the box?, has Miss Liu picked it up?"
"The box is here, Stupid fish" Concubine Zhi Yang replied in her heart. She smiled. Her brain had just stopped thinking of a new way to trap An Jia Li because the stupid fish was still swimming back even though its fin was injured.
"I don't have to think of new plans anymore because that idiot is back in the net again" Concubine Zhi Yang thought happily. At first she was dumbfounded because he thought the plan he had devised all night failed because An Jia Li was sick and Miss Liu brought him back, but who knows if An Jia Li was so stubborn just to satisfy her curiosity. It's a pretty bad habit and hard to break.
Concubine Zhi Yang then immediately proceeded with her plan to frame An Jia Li.
One paddle, two islands crossed. That was what Concubine Zhi Yang had planned. Not only to trap An Jia Li alone but she also intends to drag Miss Liu with him in a net. "Liu Qionglin. It's time for the butler to be replaced with someone who is more honest." Concubine Zhi Yang suppressed the word honest because she didn't like the actions of Miss Liu who often protected the figure of Xiang Lian she hated.
Clang!
Concubine Zhi Yang threw something on the floor so her voice that was like a few silver coins dropping filled the quiet room. After that, concubine Zhi Yang took out a cat that she had caught to release along with An Jia Li who was surprised to hear the noises.
Meow!.
"Oh my!. Cat!. I thought Miss Liu was going to scratch me!" It was grumble An Jia Li who could breathe a sigh of relief, but afterward her face was a little gloomy. She paused for a moment to look for a box of used books and walked slowly over to some objects on the floor that were glistening in the light.
"That ... "
The closer An Jia Li walked, the more her heart beat so fast that his face now looked a bit like a wandering ghost because she couldn't come back in peace. An Jia Li was very restless right now. She shone on the sparkling silvers on the floor then crouched down and took them all.
"Isn't this the hairpin that Emperor Li gave?"
"Then it was taken by concubine Zhi Yang that night ... And now it can no longer be used" she continued in a sad tone. An Jia Li's heart was crushed like a hairpin in her hand. An Jia Li was sad and felt guilty. She should have taken good care of Emperor Li's gift, but instead she let the hairpin crumble.
Drowning in her feelings. An Jia Li again felt the strange vortex within her spinning ever faster. The light in her beads disappeared so that his eyes were like fish eyes that died after losing their water, but because she still wanted to live, she rebelled. A fish that loses its water is like losing its life. She struggled not to die by moving wildly flapping her dry fins.
An Jia Li was angry now. Her sadness had made her feel angry. Even when she imagined concubine Zhi Yang's face, she felt even more hatred seep into every cell of her blood.
"I'm sorry. But, I'm not Xiang Lian! An Jia Li is now determined in the midst of her anger and becomes herself as An Jia Li, the director who is firm and fierce if anyone bothers her. She is experienced enough to deal with many clients who are like snakes, ferrets, wolves, or even dirty mice.
An Jia Li kept the pieces of her hairpin. At the same time he wondered. Why was her hairpin in the Da Hua hall?, until she finally saw something else. The source where she saw the cat coming out of the gap.
"Door?"
Without waiting, An jia Li immediately opened the open door and found a room in which only a few pieces of furniture were available. What really stands out is a long curvature that overlooks a window overlooking the garden, a study table set facing the pool a few steps away from it. Very natural feel and very calm.
An Jia Li then remembered the table set in her director's room which was probably occupied by someone else by now. An Jia Li subconsciously walked over to the teak wood table set with its beautiful intricate carvings.
"It turned out to be here. It must have been Miss Liu who moved him here. But what room is this?, why does the door seem to be attached to the wall?" An Jia Li finally found what she had been looking for. Not because of the table set, but because An Jia Li approached the table because of the box on it.
"If it didn't open. I would have thought it was a neatly cracked wall"
An Jia Li immediately opened the box to see if the book she was looking for was still there or not. And of course the book is still there. But An Jia Li wore an astonished expression as if she didn't find what she was looking for.
"What's this?" An Jia Li. She picked up a book that somehow rolled up. The scroll was yellowish and brown like it was very old. An Jia Li returned with a boost of curiosity. She unrolled the book and saw only the fadeSh writing on the cover so she didn't know what book it was from the title. So, she couldn't help but continue to open it and find out through its contents.
"W-what is this?"
An Jia Li only skimmed through then she quickly continued to the next page. Little by little until she finally reached the final page and ended it.
"What's with this blank book?" muttered An Jia Li. She then looked back at the cover and tried to guess what the inscription on the title had faded and was removed by smoking it over the fire so that the black color from the fumigation blended with the writing ink and could no longer be read. Looks like it wants to be removed but also doesn't want to be removed.
"Is this the a 'sky' character word?" muttered An Jia Li as she tried to guess the faded writing.
After that An Jia Li could no longer do anything. She could only guess if the title in the book had something to do with the sky. Apart from that, An Jia Li was only made curious again by a stamp under the faded writing.
"What is this? Moon?" An Jia Li tried to guess the shape of the black stamp which she thought was a little strange.
"Maybe some kind of horoscope?" muttered An Jia Li originally. But he wasn't really sure what to say. She was clearly very curious and very enthusiastic. The blank book gave a mystery and An Jia Li felt compelled to solve the mystery. So she slipped the book back into the box. After that he went to highlight the book she was aiming for.
"There she is!. This servant snuck into Her Majesty's reading room and tried to steal an important imperial archive!. She must be a spy!" Someone shouted from outside the room.
"What?!"
An Jia Li was surprised again so she had to postpone her activities to read Xing Yi's novel again after she saw a servant shouting and pointing at her until several soldiers came in to ambush An Jia Li.
"What are you doing?!. Let me go!"
"What is this?" Concubine Zhi Yang suddenly appeared as if she didn't know what was going on.
"Your Highness Consort Zhi Yang, I saw this servant sneak into Your Majesty Feng reading room and took something from Your Majesty's desk. She put it in this box" explained the maid who had received a silver bag from Concubine Zhi Yang.
"No. Not me!" Denied An Jia Li very panicked and annoyed.
"Shut up you Bitch servant. Let's see what thing you stole!" Concubine Zhi Yang then opened the box and took out the old book scroll that she had tucked into it earlier.
"This. Isn't this a book belonging to the royal family that only the successor to the imperial throne Feng is allowed to see?!. Surely you have words to say!. Take this servant into the holding cell for interrogation!" Concubine Zhi Yang ordered the soldiers who captured An Jia Li.
"And you. Come with me to report to Your Majesty. I'm afraid that servant really is a spy that must be exterminated!" Her orders again to a soldier and a servant who was paid as a false witness. And it's all just a fake show.
