ATSWM Chapter 26.1

Chapter 26.1 I Like You Just The Same

   Sang Yuanyuan was taken to a hall with a hot spring that was made of a soft jade. 

   Glancing at the hot spring in the room makes people’s bones become soft and wants to nicely soak away the tiredness in one’s body. 

   She got into the water and leaning against the wall of the pool in a half dreaming and half awake state. Day after day of worrying and rushing on the road, her mind and body was somewhat unable to bear it anymore. 

   A strand of thin vines stubbornly drilled into the carved wooden window and stuck on the window lattice. 

   It gently swayed. When Sang Yuanyuan was in a daze, she suddenly heard that unique voice of You Wuming‘s. 

   “How many?” 

   She was startled, thinking that this man was insane. He had just woken up from a coma but already wanted to do something inappropriate to her. 

   Immediately, A Gu’s calm voice rang out: “Five. Lord, after this incident, there should be no more spy inside the You Shadow Guard. This time, the condition of Lord’s injury is extremely dangerous. Three people wanted to use this opportunity to assassinate, and the other two wanted to send the message out. They have all been controlled by this subordinate and are waiting for Lord to deal with it. ” 

   Sang Yuanyuan’s gaze fell on that strand of vines on the window lattice——she had once again turned on the long-range eavesdropping mode. 

   “Good.” You Wuming coughed slightly, “Buried.”     “Yes.” A Gu said, “The matter regarding the ploy to kill the Sang clan is related to the remaining evil supporters of the old king. The forged decree was stamped with the old king’s seal that has been missing. Thanks to Princess Sang’s reminder, this subordinate managed to control the situation before they destroyed the evidence. It’s this subordinate’s carelessness for not keeping a close eye on the frontier army these days, that caused such a big trouble to arise! Asking the Lord for punishments!”

   You Wuming said with a smile: “You have been in charge of the punishment for many years. Why do you ask me?” 

   “Yes, this subordinate will self collect a hundred rod’s hits later. Lord, the incident this time, there is no news yet from Tiandu. Shall we prepare for the war first? ” 

   “You may.” 

   “A number of traitors have been captured and they are being tortured right now.” A Gu’s voice contained a trace of worry, “Those officers and men who had made big blunders because they were deceived, how to deal with them?” 

   She was just afraid to hear the word that was as light as a feather——Buried. 

   You Wuming smiled and said: “Killed the escort emissaries? Reward. ” 

   The whole process is extremely arrogant. 

   “Yes!” Ah Gu said, “Lord, please take good care of yourself. This time really was too dangerous! You[1] said that you have been healing yourself for nine days, but you’ve terribly frightened those little good-for-nothing. This subordinate was also terrified.” 

   He seemed to have hesitated for a moment, and then asked, “Lord is not worried……that this subordinate will do you any harm? If this subordinate is also a traitor, then……” 

   “Then your head and body will lay in two different places.” You Wuming’s voice was calm without any wave, “Go.” 

   “Hehe.” A Gu said, “Yes!” 

   The sound of footsteps faded away. 

   After a moment of silence, You Wuming’s voice slowly floated out. 

   “Shall I go to see Little Mulberry taking a bath or not?” 

   Sang Yuanyuan ：“……” 

   She quickly climbed out of the pool, put on the new clothes the maidservant had prepared for her, and pushed the door to go out. 

   The maidservant took her straight to You Wuming’s hall. 

   He was leaning on a warm jade pillow, loosely draped in a robe with his half opened chest and an arrow wound that was still bleeding.

[1] All the ‘you’ that all subordinates use when they talk with their superior, is a courteous one——您 (formal speech, showing respect). Pardon me for I have forgot to mention this in the footnotes on the earlier chapters T_T Actually I could’ve used a third person perspective for all the lines when the subordinates spoke to their superior, but I have just thought about this now, and if I were to change all the lines on all the earlier chapters, well, I may lose interest in translating the story hahaha. So, I will just assume that all of my mighty readers were already veterans in reading translated chinese novels (especially historical one since they always have lots of informative footnotes). If there’s something that is confusing, just leave a comment and I will try to answer as best as I could. Thank you for sticking with my translation. Will continue to do my best till I finish translating this story. Jia You!
