Heart of Loyalty Novel Summary and Spoilers

Novel Part 3 Summary - Thieving and Fishing

Mo Yan and Zhao Yu went back to the river the following morning.
Mo Yan shared to the Princess that she dreamt of Zhan Zhao. Zhao Yu thinks Mo Yan is shameless in describing what her dream was. It wasn't a dream of course. It actually happened but Mo Yan is too drunk to remember it. Though she felt it was very real.

Lao Hu was nearby to them. Zhao Yu gave him a piece of silver coin and ordered to leave. It was then that Mo Yan smelled something familiar. The scent of the jade ointment. He accused Lao Hu of stealing it. As she forced him to admit she accidentally pulled out his fake beard. Lao Hu had no choice but to reveal his true self to her.  Lao Hu is Su Cui after all. Mo Yan recognized him. She explained to Zhao Yu she met him in Yanxie Town on her way back to Liao Country.
He said he was instructed by 'Costin' to watch over the princess. Mo Yan wondered who this Costin was and Zhao Yu told her the truth. This was one of the secrets Zhan Zhao never shared to her.
Mo Yan thinks he is familiar and dishonest. Then she remembered something and asked him about what happened last night. Su Cui admitted he saw her lying on the haystack but it wasn't him who brought her back to her tent.

"It's not me." Su Zui replied very simply and neatly, which made Mo Yan breathe a sigh of relief, but his next words made her immediately nervous. "However, I know who it is." He smiled.

"Who?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Of course, who is it?"

Su Zui smiled unpredictably: "It's a pity, I can't tell you yet."

"Why can't you tell me?"

Su Zui smiled slightly: "Why do you ask me, don't you already know who he is?"

Su Zui's last words before leaving kept echoing in her mind-"Don't you already know who he is?"

Already known, already known...

There was confusion in Mo Yan's mind. What did she know: She just regarded that person as Zhan Zhao, and she knew very well that Zhan Zhao's was indeed dead.

Could it be Lord Yelu, her heart jumped suddenly, still remembering that she held Yelu Bodhisattva's hand when she was in Zhongjing, and she felt the same as her elder brother at that time.

(Way to tease Xiao Qi!)

That night, she sneaked into Yelu Bodhisattva's tent.

She became curious, put down the silver box, picked up the thing next to her, and took it out...

The moment she saw this thing clearly, she felt as if she was struck by five thunders, staying as a wooden chicken, and she couldn't move her body.

Under the faint moonlight, a gentle jasper comb was lying quietly in her hand, and the third tooth from left to right was slightly broken, which she accidentally knocked when she was a child.

In the eyes of others, this is just an ordinary jade comb, and there is nothing strange. But for Mo Yan, apart from Juque, there is nothing in this world that can shock her so much.

This small comb was something that Mo Yan had since childhood. After Zhan Zhao left alone three years ago, she was so despaired that she did not find it. She always thought that she was accidentally lost in the desert.

She never expected to see it in the tent of Yalu Bodhisattva.

How can it be here?

Yelu Bodhisattva slave is Costin, but who is this Costin?

Su Zui can disguise, and Yalu Bodhisattva can disguise naturally, so who is the face behind?

Mo Yan just sat on the ground in a daze, and a thought was turned into her mind unstoppable—maybe Big Brother Zhan was not dead, but became a Yelu Bodhisattva slave!

can you?

Will it be like this?

So why doesn't Big Brother recognize her?

If he is really alive, why not tell her?

Also, where did the original Yelu Bodhisattva slave go?

The more I think about it, the more messy my mind is, the whole thing is spread out in front of her in such a mess, making her a headache.

(She's not smart for nothing. But yeah, it is quite messy this whole disguising affairs.)

Noises outside prompted Mo Yan to leave Zhan Zhao's tent. She walked back into the place they were fishing or catching the turtle. The hole of ice was still there. She threw the rest of the stuffs she took except for the comb and silver box. On her back, a maid told her she should go to Ning Jin's tent. Reluctantly she went. Outside she heard the voice of Ning Jin and the mention of Bodhisattva's name.

Yelu Bodhisattva is also inside? Mo Yan was stunned. She was not ready yet, and didn't know what to do if she met him?

Maybe this person is the eldest brother?

Brother...

She thought irritably, because she was so flustered, her mind was completely blank, and she didn't even know where to move her feet.

She came in and saw herself standing beside Bodhisattva. Anyway, she took a fox fur from Ning Jin. Then...

Yelu Bodhisattva didn't have a word to say, and he turned around. Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at him as he walked out of the tent, desperately wanting to call him, but tried to open his mouth, but couldn't make any sound.

Why, at this moment, she felt that even his back looked so familiar and kind.

Will he be the big brother?

She couldn't wait to know, but she was afraid to touch the answer.

The whole idea that Yelu Bodhisattva is Zhan Zhao bothered Mo Yan all night. She couldn't sleep at all. She went out and looked for Su Cui or Lao Hu but no one knows where he is.

The next day she was busy catching for the turtle.
She told Zhao Yu that she stole the comb. Zhao Yu scolded her and urged her to return it quickly.
Just then the fishing rod shook. The small ice hole was broken and Mo Yan fell under the icy waters, dragged by the turtle. As she was losing her consciousness she thought what if she died there never finding out if Yelu Bodhisattva is Zhan Zhao. Will he be sad? She wondered.

She was rescued just in time. Everybody was relieved to see her awaken.

To be continued.
