MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 4: The mystery in the royal city

PART 26 – THE QUEEN’s ILLNESS_2

-It’s not too hard. – Hou Lei answered. – First, I need you lead me to a medicine and herb store in the royal city, I’ll find if there are enough ingredients I need to make the medicine.

-Why don’t we go to the medicine storage in our Palace instead? I think there will be more and safer herbs for you. – He corrupted her sentence.

-Well, and all the people in this palace will know that Hou Lei can treat the disease? – She got her voice louder a bit. – It’s your hard time, but please, think before saying something.

-Okay, okay. – He apologized. – Let’s continue.

-Second, I will need a private room for making the medicine without any disturb in one day.

-Okay, it’s not a problem. – He nodded. – Anything else?

-Thirdly, I’m thinking how we can take the medicine for the Queen, the Emperor has asked the sentries to protect her all the time.

-I think we can mix the medicine with her water?

-I have no idea if the water can dissolve the medicine or not.

-So you don’t know about your medicine? How can I let my mother get that medicine?

-You don’t believe me? Okay, well, I just want to help, anyway, it’s your mother, not mine, why I must care about her too much like that? – She prepared to go.

-Alright, alright, I’m sorry, I have no doubts about you, but do you feel not comfortable?

-Yup. – She answered. – Wang Tian Liam, how dare you???

He got up and ran around his room. She rushed after him.

-Stand there! Don’t move! Wang Tian Liam!!! – She yelled.

-I just want you to know how much uncomfortable when I received your suspicious eyes!

They rushed each other for a while. He stopped and gasped.

-Okay, I stop, please don’t beat me! – He held her hands.

-Wait, not much touch, you forget that?

-Not much, not “no touch”. – He expressed his words. – And you don’t mention how many is a “much”. – He smiled devilishly. – So I think three times a day is not too much for us.

-Three times a day? – She widened her eyes. – Wang Tian Liam, you fool me!

-Nah, nah, I have accepted all the can-be-understood conditions of you, why you still blame me?

-You liar! – She hit on his chest.

-Stop! – He held her hand again and gently said. – Or you want me to do something more? The second and third conditions mention just about no sex during and after the wedding, how about before the wedding? Or should we do it now?

-Wang Tian Liam, stop! – Her eyes looked fully with anger. – Stop or you won’t meet me again!

-Okay, sorry. – He let out her hands. – You have no fun, I said I would prove to you that I deserved your love. You think I can make it destroyed easily like that.

-You know it, that’s good, but I don’t want you to make any jokes like that again!

-I promise… oh, I will do my best. – He answered. – Now, my Princess, I need to change my clothes, please sit down on that chair and wait for me a second.

-One… two… three… - She started to count.

-I’m done. – He came back to the table.

-Two hundred and twenty-four. – She still counted.

-Why you are counting? – He surprised.

-You liar! You said to me that waiting for you for a second, but I have counted to 224 now.

-Hah? – He opened his mouth widely. – Do you need to calculate every second to me?

-I just want to test your words if they are true. – She pointed at his nose. – Why you take so long to change a suit?

And she looked at his suit, she walked around him, watched his suit and the texture on it. The suit was all black with many strange images. She touched his shoulder, his belt, and his chest.

-What’s the matter? – He asked. – Is this suit not good?

-No, it just fits you well. Just the color and the texture. A little bit strange!

-I have just ordered this suit. I know you like black clothes, I saw this fabric was good and decided to make a suit from it. Do you want one?

-No, it takes time much for this, leading me to the biggest medicine and herb store!

They went to the huge door of North Liam palace and asked the sentries to prepare a horse wagon for them. He rode the wagon himself, did not let the sentries help. They then stopped in front of a big medicine store. The seller smiled and asked them:

-What do you want to buy? Or any problems with your health?

-No. – She answered. – Can I see all the herbs and medicine you have here?

-You’re a doctor? – He asked.

-Just let her do what she wants. – Tian Liam gave some money to the seller.

Hou Lei walked around the cabinet of herbs, she touched them and smelled some. She asked for a paper to choose the herbs she needed. She put some of the herbs into the paper without weighing them. The seller looked with incredible eyes, Tian Liam also watched each of her moves.

-Done. – She wrapped the paper to cover all the herbs inside and smiled to Tian Liam. – Luckily, there are enough herbs I need.

He still looked at her with excited eyes.

-What are you waiting for? – She asked. – Pay him and turn back to our place.

-Oh, oh, I forget. – He gave money to the seller. – Is it enough? You can keep the remain.

-Okay, it’s much than the price of the herbs. – He nodded. – Little girl, I want to ask what disease you use those herbs to treatment? They are the herbs no one mixes together. And I see you didn’ even weigh them.

-Well, it’s my business, not yours, if I tell you, you won’t have any idea about it. – She answered. – Let’s go, Tian Liam.

They got on the horse wagon and returned the palace. The seller still stood there and thought about this strange girl, he shook his head and turned back to his work. After coming back to Tian Liam’s room, she put the herbs on his table.

-Hou Lei, can you assure that it will work? – He asked.

-The medicine seller made you have doubts? – She asked him.

-I just think you’re sure that you know what you’re doing.

-If you want, you can ask the doctors to help you, I won’t even touch a hair of your mother, okay?

-Sorry, it’s just that my mother is very important to me, I don’t want any bad things to happen to her.
