N-A-A Chapter 1728 Delivered to Your Door
Chapter 1728 Delivered to Your Door
“She should still be very slender over the past three years.” Yin Yunting glanced at Yao Yutong on the bed.
Now he has not only regained his original slender figure, but he also looks so haggard, which means his body must have suffered a lot of damage.
In the past, those who were possessed by ghosts at most borrowed bodies, and although they would suffer damage over time, it was nothing compared to Yao Yutong's situation.
The grape demon inside Yao Yutong, although it doesn't usually control her body and consciousness, absorbs her nutrients and vitality, "steals" her lifespan, and consumes her from within.
Normally, Yao Yutong may not appear to have any abnormalities on the outside, but in reality, she has already suffered significant internal damage.
"But I've noticed she's gained some weight in the last two years, and I've been worried about it, so I've made sure she eats less, and I haven't let her eat her fill every day, hoping she can stay as slim as before..."
Yang murmured to herself, still not understanding why this was happening.
Zhou Shiyue and Yin Yunting saw that she really didn't know anything, so they didn't expect to get anything of value out of her.
It seems more appropriate to ask Duan Fan about the strange phenomena surrounding Yao Yutong, as long as Duan Fan is willing to tell us.
As for what Yang asked them, they could probably find out who they met in Nanzhao and what special things happened.
Zhou Shiyue summoned Qingyin and asked her to take Yang Shi to the side hall.
“Ask her about Nanzhao,” he said.
Qingyin nodded. "This servant understands."
Zhou Shiyue now feels that it's really good that these two maids follow Lu Zhaoling, and that Lu Zhaoling takes them along in everything, without hiding anything from them or being afraid of scaring them. Because of this, the two maids can do a lot more things.
If we're afraid they'll find out about everything, and feel that it's inconvenient for them to be involved in these matters, then we can't ask them to do many things now.
"Madam Yao, please come with me. You can ask me about Miss Yao's matter." Qingyin called to Yang Shi to get up.
Yang stood up, then looked nervously at Duan Fan.
Duan Fan didn't care about revealing anything at this moment and asked, "My aunt is timid and doesn't understand the various rules of the Prince's Mansion. It would be bad if she did something wrong and offended the Prince and Princess. If Your Highness wants to ask anything, why don't you ask it here? If there's anything she doesn't understand, I can help answer it."
This shows how afraid they were of being separated, and how afraid Yang would be questioned about something.
Zhou Shiyue glanced at him, "How about the Prince's Mansion takes charge for you?"
Duan Fan hesitated for a moment, "This humble official dares not."
"I thought you wanted to show off your power here and make us all obey your orders."
He had already said so much, how could Duan Fan dare to say anything more?
He stood there, and the Prince of Jin did not offer him a seat, nor did he dare to sit down. He simply watched helplessly as Lady Yang followed Qingyin out.
Zhou Shiyue glanced at Yin Yunting.
Yin Yunting flicked his finger and sent a wisp of Ghost Abyss Mist toward Duan Fan.
“Your Highness, since Scholar Duan has come all this way and offered to answer our questions, I will take him to the west courtyard to ask. You can continue with your business.”
Yin Yunting had already noticed the abnormality in Duan Fan and was determined to investigate it thoroughly.
They've practically delivered themselves to our doorstep.
Although Zhou Shiyue didn't know what Yin Yunting had figured out, he still trusted Yin Yunting's abilities, so he nodded and handed the matter over to Yin Yunting.
"Lord Duan, please." Yin Yunting gestured for Duan Fan to proceed.
Duan Fan really didn't understand why he couldn't ask questions here and had to take them elsewhere.
Would he be able to explain things more clearly if we went somewhere else? However, just as this question crossed his mind, it suddenly dawned on him that if Yin Yunting insisted on taking him somewhere else, then there must be something strange about that place.
There, perhaps they're going to use some trick or scheme against him.
With this in mind, Duan Fan became more vigilant.
He reached into his sleeve pocket and squeezed a sachet containing several of his protective amulets. With these amulets, he felt a little more at ease.
However, he still had to be careful. He had inquired about Yin Yunting and Lu Zhaoling and knew that the two of them had considerable cultivation.
Duan Fan must have made thorough preparations to accompany Madam Yang to the Prince's residence today. He didn't know where Madam Yang had been taken by that maid or what she had been asked, but Madam Yang didn't know much, so even if she told him everything, it shouldn't have much of an impact.
Duan Fan followed Yin Yunting out of the hall and headed towards the west courtyard.
After walking for a while, Duan Fan suddenly noticed something, because he found that the area in front of him seemed to have particularly heavy yin energy, so he stopped.
Yin Yunting noticed that he had stopped and was not moving, so he turned around and looked at him. "Lord Duan, what's wrong? Can't you walk anymore?"
A voice inside Duan Fan kept telling him that it would be dangerous to go that way, so he genuinely resisted going any further. But since Yin Yunting had asked him, he had no choice but to answer. "Young Master Yin, if you have any questions, why don't we talk about them here? I feel a bit uncomfortable in my ankle. The West Courtyard is ahead, and it's still quite a walk. I might not be able to keep going. Or perhaps we could sit in this pavilion for a while?"
"Really, it's not that I insist on making decisions within the Prince's residence. It's just that I want to cooperate well with Young Master Yin. Asking here doesn't matter, right?"
He thought that if he said that, Yin Yunting would cooperate and say that they should sit here for a while. However, Yin Yunting immediately replied, "No, I want to go to the West Courtyard. Please cooperate, Lord Duan."
"If Lord Duan really can't walk, I'll find two guards to help you."
Seeing that he was so determined to go to the west courtyard, Duan Fan felt even more that something was amiss there.
He desperately wanted to back off, and even regretted accompanying Madam Yang to the Prince's residence today, feeling as if he had delivered himself to their doorstep.
But if he didn't come, he wouldn't know how Yao Yutong was doing here, so he had to come and check on her.
Last night, he had already sensed some unusual ghostly energy and felt that the grape ghost inside Yao Yutong's body must have exploded.
This is happening much faster than they expected, which has already changed their plans. They don't know if Yao Yutong and the Crown Prince have succeeded. If they have, then being used is still worthwhile. But if she didn't succeed at all, then this is a huge loss, because they have been planning for so long.
"Lord Duan, you'd better leave quickly," Yin Yunting called out again.
Duan Fan subconsciously turned around to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he suddenly saw a face rushing towards him with big, bulging eyes. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back. As he retreated, he ended up next to Yin Yunting. Yin Yunting reached out and pulled and pushed him, taking a few quick steps and pushing him into the talisman array in front of the west courtyard.
