Chapter 924: Chapter 926: Sudden Changes (1)

Due to the unexpected arrival of her menstruation, Cai Wei suddenly became much more behaved. For two consecutive days, she stayed quietly inside King Qin’s Mansion without setting foot outside, not even bothering to attend to the newly purchased Zhenbao Pavilion.

She was a clever woman, well aware of what mattered more between silver and life, she could distinguish clearly. With the situation so delicate at present, she naturally wouldn’t risk her life for the sake of silver.

Over these two days, Wen’er and Wu’er had a great time because their older sister had spent both days with them, telling them many interesting stories and painting numerous vivid images. The stories were exquisitely beautiful, and the pictures included characters like Pleasant Goat, Little Yellow Man, and Totoro from her sister’s tales. In their eyes, these adorable pictures were thousands, even millions of times more beautiful than those created by the finest painters.

Lady Du also loved the paintings that Cai Wei created. After Cai Wei finished telling stories to Wen’er and Wu’er, she collected those paintings to use as patterns for embroidering onto the children’s clothes. The items Cai Wei had painted a few days ago were made into little belly covers and were extremely adorable, far more attractive than the common patterns of carps frolicking amongst lotus flowers or wishes for surplus year after year.

Mu Zhongqing once asked Cai Wei how she was able to tell such wonderful stories and how did she come to know them. Cai Wei vaguely replied that she made them all up herself. Upon hearing this, Mu Zhongqing praised, "Wei’er is indeed clever and quick-witted. If you were a man, you could compose scripts for troupes or create tales for blind storytellers."

Cai Wei felt a twinge of embarrassment. The animated stories she told Wen’er and Wu’er were famous in her time both nationally and worldwide, created by numerous prominent animation masters over many years of hard work. Their creations represented the culmination of their efforts, and she shamelessly plagiarized their works. If animators like Hayao Miyazaki knew of Cai Wei’s actions, they might very well travel through time and space to settle scores with her!

This carefree routine continued until the third day was nearly over, with Cai Wei’s period about to end. She calculated that by tomorrow morning, it should be completely gone. She planned to check the accounts at the Shen行 and Zhenbao Pavilion first thing in the morning, then continue searching for a suitable location to open a glass shop. At night, she intended to visit the old mansion, put the main family to sleep with a drug, and have the White Tiger transport them outside the borders of the Great Jin Nation to fend for themselves...

At night time, Cai Wei went to bed early. For the past two days, she had been living a very regular life of early nights and early mornings, in sync with her family. Since moving from home to the Capital, such days were rare and all the more precious to the two children.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, a series of urgent knocks came from the window.

Cai Wei was always alert. Startled awake, she picked up the treasured blade beside her pillow and tiptoed to the window, whispering, "Who’s there?"

"Royal Consort, it’s me. There’s been trouble. Please change your clothes quickly, we need to leave!"

"Ben Boba?"

Surprised, Cai Wei pushed open the window, and indeed, she saw Chai Feng standing there with an anxious expression under the moonlight.

"Ben Boba, what happened? Is King Qin in trouble? What’s the situation?"

Chai Feng spoke gravely, "It’s not King Qin, it’s inside the Palace. Just now, Master Li Guo seems to have sent a message; the Emperor is fading fast. It was the Prince’s doing, and the next move might be against King Qin. Hence, we must leave quickly."

Cai Wei asked, "Where are we going? How do we escape? Right, has anyone informed Nangong Yi about the Emperor’s critical condition?"

Chai Feng firmly replied, "Royal Consort, time is of the essence. I will answer your questions on the way. Please change quickly and leave with me now."

"Oh, wait for me, I’ll go call Dad and Mom!"
