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

PART 45 – THE MYSTERY IN THE PALACE_5

-So? – She asked. – What should I do for you, MY HUSBAND?

-Just do what you want, I don’t ask you to do anything for me, be yourself and beside me. That’s more than enough to me! – Tian Liam answered.

-Okay. – She paused and sat down next to him. – It’s very easy for me, but I have something need you to do for me first!

-What’s that? Don’t leave me and I’ll do all the things!

-Oh, please, get out of my room! You have been here more than three days, I don’t feel comfortable when having someone watching me in my room.

-But we’re husband and wife, why don’t you…

-The contract! Remember it? – She corrupted his words and reminded him.

-Okay, I know. I’ll wait, and believe that day will come.

-Good! Just believe in your dream, I need to balance my life back, these days made a mess in my routine, you know!

-I understand! – He held her hands. – Could I ask you something?

-Okay, only one question!

-Did you really care about me in the last three days or you just looked after me for people seeing we are husband and wife?

-Tian Liam. – She got her hands out of his. – What do you think when you ask this question? If I say just for people seeing, you will leave me alone? Or you will marry some other women to prove that you don’t need my care?

-I don’t mean to talk about that, I just want to know if you have any love for me.

-Sorry, I can’t answer this question! If you want, you can return me to the West Land or do whatever you want. I can just say that time will be the best answer for both you and me.

She looked to another direction, avoiding his eyes. He knew he should not ask that question, but he could not prevent himself from asking. He felt upset and guilty, he stood up and walked out of her room. She looked at him but her face was emotionless, she had defined what she should do and she could not break up her plan because of any reason, including him.

At that time, Liu Han was very angry about what the maid said to her. She could not believe that Tian Liam had slept in Hou Lei’s room for three days. She threw the things on the table she was sitting next to. She stood up and said to the maid:

-Come and find Xiao Ming for me!

Xiao Ming was a sentry under Liu Han’s father, the Minister. He was one of the smartest servants of both her father and her. He usually had some ideas for Liu Han to get the concern of the royal family. After a while, Xiao Ming got there to meet her.

-My Beautiful Lady, you want to meet me? – He greeted her.

-Xiao Ming, you have to hear about Hou Lei?

-The Princess from the West Land, people said that she was very beautiful and smart!

-Stop. – She corrupted. – I don’t want to hear the flying words about her. I need you here to help me find a way to throw her away from my life, and make her disappear in Tian Liam’s eyes, he just cares too much about her from the time she arrived this Palace. She’s made me so angry and even married to Tian Liam, my soulmate from childhood.

-I know, my Lady. We will find a way…

They whispered to each other about many ideas. Liu Han shook her head to disagree with him many times and finally, they had a solution.

-What do you think about the spider from Mongolia? – Xiao Ming asked.

-Well, I think that should be good.

-When the spider finishes its work, we only need to kill it, no sign is left.

-Sound great! But how we can find that spider?

-I know someone in the royal city selling it for people to make medicine!

-Haha. – She laughed devilishly. – Hou Lei, I think your happy day will be ended soon!

Some days later, after meeting the seller to ask about the spider, Xiao Ming brought to Liu Han a small box. She asked the maids to follow what Hou Lei did in some days and caught her routine. One day, when Hou Lei and Ah Jiang came to greet the Queen in the morning, Xiao Ming got into Hou Lei’s room. He looked carefully around to check if there was anyone seeing him there. He opened the door and closed it silently, reached to her bed and put the box next to her pillow. He opened the cover of the box and left the room. The spider came out of the box and moved around on Hou Lei’s bed.

After greeting the Queen, Hou Lei went to the kitchen and made some dishes for Tian Liam. She and Ah Jiang brought the food to Tian Liam’s room and met Liu Han on the way.

-Oh, Hou Lei! How are you? – She mocked at Hou Lei.

-Ah Jiang, is that the wind today having some bad smell? – Hou Lei turned to Ah Jiang.

-I have no idea, my Princess! – Ah Jiang laughed and answered.

-Hou Lei, how dare you to talk about me like that? – Liu Han got angry.

-Well, little Lady. At first, I don’t need to answer your meaningless question. Second, I’m a Princess, don’t need to talk with the small little Lady, who always bases on her father’s title to bully others. Third, I’m the Third Prince’s wife, the owner of this Palace, if there’s anyone who should shut her mouth and get out of this place, it won’t be me.

-You… - Liu Han raised her hand and prepared to slap Hou Lei.

-What? Want to beat me? – Hou Lei held her hand and pushed her to fall down to the ground. – Wait for your next life, maybe you can, not this life!

-What’s going on here? – Tian Liam walked out from his room.

-Tian Liam, she hit me! – Liu Han ran to hold his hand.

-She hit you? – He wondered and looked at Hou Lei, her face was normal as nothing happened.

-Yup, she pushed me to fall to the ground. My clothes were dirty! – Liu Han showed him the soil on her dress and her hands.

-Hou Lei. – He said. – Why you hit her? Why don’t you two talk with each other in peace?

-Well, it’s up to her behavior! – Hou Lei said. – She needs to respect who has the higher level and knowing how to talk with others. I’m not her maid or her sentry.

-Liu Han, your behavior can’t be better? – He asked. – Many people don’t want to talk to you because they can’t stand your masterful behavior.

-Tian Liam, so who do you protect now? Me or her? – Liu Han cried.

-I protect the right! – He answered.

-So good for the answer “protect the right”, from the time she arrived here, everything I made in your eyes seemed to be wrong. I shouldn’t get mad of her because taking over my soulmate from my hand, and shouldn’t touch even a hair of her.
