MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 6: The mysterious in the Palace

PART 39 – SHE MADE HIM HURT_2

Hou Lei walked out of the room to define if the General found something news. Liu Han ran to her place but she stopped her:

-What are you doing here? – Hou Lei asked.

-I heard that Tian Liam was injured. I want to see him. – Liu Han answered.

-He’s in my room, but he still sleeps. You shouldn't get in.

-I want to see him. – She yelled.

-But he’s my husband! – Hou Lei shouted at her. – Remember where you’re now, it’s North Liam palace, not your home! And you’re in front of my room!

-So what? He is my love, I just want to see if he is okay.

-Not now, he needs to take a rest, return to your home and I will ask him to meet you when he is better. – Hou Lei glanced at her.

-I’m worried about him, please let me see him, just a moment! – She begged.

-I said no! – She emphasized her words.

-Miss Liu Han. – The Soldier General appeared. – You should come home first, the Third Prince was in a faint, he needs to take rest more. Princess Hou Lei will take care of him well, don’t worry!

-I just want to see him, Mr. Hu. – Liu Han begged.

-My sentries will lead you back, don’t disturb them.

The General held her shoulders and led her to go with his soldiers. Then he looked at Hou Lei.

-My Princess, I couldn’t find any sign of an assassin.

-You mean I’m a liar? – She wondered.

-Of course not. Our Prince is very good at martial arts, this assassin must be very good too. So that he could win the Prince and escape without any notice.

-I think so, but Tian Liam doesn’t get an extreme injury. It’s the most important!

-My Princess, forgive me for asking this. – He paused.

-Just ask! I think you know me, I will answer your question if I can.

-Do you love the Third Prince?

-Honestly, I don’t know exactly if I love him or not. You know, I’ve met him for a short time, don’t know much about his characteristics, I even don’t know what he like most, what dishes he love, what kind of books he usually reads. But I know that I’m his wife now, and I have a responsibility to take care of him. I think you are worrying about if I can look after him well or not, right?

-Yes, My Princess, you’re very smart. Prince Tian Liam is the kindest one of the Princes and he knows how to consider other’s problems to help them. He doesn’t care about the level or power in this Palace, he treats everyone very well. He is the one I most respect after the Emperor and the Queen. I do care much about him, like my son.

-I understand, Mr. Hu, I will take good care of him, don’t worry.

-I’ve asked the doctor to make the packs of medicines for our Prince, here they are. – He brought out the packs and gave her. – Please look after him well!

-I will. Thank you for bringing these to me. – She nodded.

-I have some works to do, I’ll go first! – He said. – I’ll let you know if I have any news about the assassin. Goodbye, My Princess!

She came back to her room, put the packs of medicines on the table. She got a basin of warm water and a towel and sat down next to the bed. She gently wiped his forehead, his face and then his hands. He breathed slowly with a handsome face, different from the one normally made her get angry each time they met. 

He looked so innocent this moment, she wondered if she pulled him into her plan to help her find out the Hou Ma gem, was that too unfair with him? He loved her by all his heart, she replied to him by taking advantage of it for her own business. Even more, she hurt him much tonight, he had to share a part of this result because of not listening to her prevention. She felt poor for him from the very first time they met. She took a deep breath, cleaned the room, arranger her furniture, and always looked at him constantly to assure he was okay.

That night, she did not sleep. She walked around the room and thought about her medicine. She should let him get the medicine to help his wound healed faster or not. She brought out the medicine but kept it back, she imagined the doctor would check for him every day and knew the mystery from his fast recovery. She thought about her plan, should she involve him in that revenge plan or not? After the hidden things about her revealed, would he still love him or what she should do next? People would criticize or even want to take her head? Would her plan succeed and she could bring her tribe back? Would she see her family once again?

The thoughts made her tired and slept with her head laid on her hands on the table. The next morning, no one disturbed her sleep, she woke up late and saw Tian Liam still not regain his consciousness. She washed her face and went to the kitchen to grab a pot and an oven with her. She put them in the table in the garden and extracted the medicine for him. She looked after the medicine pot and often got to the window to see if he was alright.

She finished the medicine and brought to him. She helped him sit up and slowly fed the medicine to him, she blew it carefully before inserted the spoon into his mouth. After that, she got him some water and let him lay down back. She continued to wipe his face, his hands, and his wounds, she also covered the herbs on his large wounds.

In that day, she ate very fast and came back to look after him, she felt she needed to take this responsibility, he got an injury because of her. His status became better, the Emperor and the Queen were satisfied with the efforts she made. The doctor checked for him each morning and evening, he taught her how to take care of his wounds and informed that he would be wake in the next day.

The next day, to prepare for his waking up, Hou Lei got to the kitchen and made some rice gruel for him. She then came back and extracted the medicine for him. When she looked through the window, she saw his hand moving. She immediately ran into the room:

-Tian Liam, are you awake?

-Hou Lei. – His voice was very weak. – I need some water.

She picked up the teapot and poured some tea into a cup for him. She gently helped him sit up and gave him the cup. They smelled some bad flavor:

-Is this something burning?

-Oh, I forgot! It’s your medicine!

She ran out to the garden and picked up the cover of the medicine pot. It was hot and she dropped it down on the ground, broken. Tian Liam heard the sound, he tried to ask her loudly:

-What’s the problem? Are you okay?

-I’m okay, just stay there, I’ll be right back!

She poured the liquid extraction of the medicine left in the pot into a bowl, and brought to him.

-Sorry. – She said. – It was a little left, I’ll make another for you this afternoon.

-You got hurt. – He held her hand and saw her finger a little bit red.

-I’m okay. Do you want some more tea?

-Hou Lei, what happened? Why I got injured?
