Chapter 100 – Twists and Turns
The sky was low in the wilderness while the sun warmed the mountain range. Such good weather was rarely seen that even the little animals in the forest are lively and not afraid of running into people. They would remain on the spot with big round eyes before sticking up their butts and going to amuse themselves once the people walked away, looking extremely cute.
A small courtyard stood quietly amongst the towering greenery of many Chinese parasol trees and the people under the trees were dyed with mottled golden sunlight shadows casted through the leaves' crevices. Looking closely, two women were sitting and playing chess around a narrow table with their slender soft hands lightly pinching the black and white pieces. The game was so intense that others overlooked the dazzling luster coral chessboard and were only tensely anxious for them yet the two people were completely unflustered. You placed while I effortlessly requited at random as if they were only passing the time.
"How are you these days? Any more discomfort?"
The pink blouse woman shook her head slightly, "I'm fine. I'm bored out of my mind after lying down for three months."
"You still have the nerve to say that." The purple blouse woman glared at her but her tone was gently soft and full of concern, "Knowing that you yourself are pregnant yet still dare to make such a dangerous plan. Not only Huaixin, even I was almost scared to death by you."
The pink blouse woman caressed her slightly bulging belly and smiled thinly without making a sound.
These two people were precisely Ye Huaiyang and Xie Yun, who both went through a narrow escape three months ago.
Let's talk about Xie Yun. She happened to be with Xie Miao on the day of the incident. Her whole body was weak after inadvertently drinking a cup of poisonous water. Sensing something was amiss, Xie Miao quickly took her away via a secret passage. When she woke up, she was already outside the city and learned that Xie Si had burned the direct descendant of the Xie family to death. They were both in grief and indignation but they could only bide their time for the moment due to various reasons, hence they stayed several months outside the city.

As for Ye Huaiyang, it was even more thrilling.
When such a loud noise did not attract the guards on the night that Ye Huaixin sneaked into the palace, there was only one possibility. The guards had long grasped his whereabouts and purposely pretended not to know just to see what they were actually planning to do. It was already too late to do anything once Ye Huaiyang realized it at that time. Chu Sanghuai would no longer believe her words. So she met his plot with hers and deliberately disclosed her escape plan on the day of worshipping the Heavens while she handwritten the arrangement to let Ye Huaixin know and set everything up at Zhuolutai.
From her deduction of Chu Sanghuai's character, he would not beat around the bush with her but would rather destroy all hopes right in front of her. So, he would most likely disrupt her plan by forcibly taking her to worship the Heavens in order to show his superiority of being in control. So, she could only find a chance to flee during that time.
After much deliberation, there was only one way.
There is tacit understanding amongst twins. Needless to say, Ye Huaixin quickly understood what she wanted to do and his face turned pale immediately.
The thousand-foot cliff was as steep as a knife with multifarious needle-like perilous rocks towering it and she actually wanted to jump down!
As he could not voice out, he could only use his eyes to let Ye Huaiyang know his disapproval but Ye Huaiyang pushed him out without giving him a chance to refute!
