PART 52 - THE TRIP TO THE COUNTRYSIDE_2

Tian Liam and Hou Lei said goodbye to the Emperor and left.

-Do you feel excited about this trip? - He asked.

-Well, we go there to do our duty, not a vacation, my Prince. – She answered.

-I know, I'm excited about going there with you.

-Oh, that's it. Our meetings with each other in this palace aren't enough for you?

-Of course not. – He looked serious. – I want to be with you all the time.

-Okay. – She stepped backward. – I don't want you to break our contract.

-I know you can do all the things you say, Hou Lei. I won't be too stupid to do something like that makes you leave me. It's not easy like that!

-Better you should know that. Now prepare yourself for the trip, I won't prepare clothes for you!

-Yes, my cute wife! – He smiled and left.

The Crown Prince was hiding behind an entrance near their place add listening to their conversation. He was planning something in his mind with a devilish smile.

The next day, I hey prepared some of their clothes for a ten days trip. The Emperor commanded a group of soldiers leading by the Soldier General, Mr. Hu, to go to the South with Tian Liam and Hou Lei. They met the Queen before leaving.

-My Queen! – They greeted her.

-Tian Liam, you must take care of Hou Lei well. – The Queen said. – She, anyway, is a Princess, doesn't need to do heavy works.

-I know, Mother. – He answered. – I will look after my wife well.

-Hou Lei, help me to care about Tian Liam, he always wants to help people much and doesn't care about his health. Hope you two won't get sick there, the weather in the South now isn't good, rainy and cold. Bring with you these! – The Queen raised her hand and the maid brought a tray with some coats into the room.

-We have prepared for ourselves, Mother! – Hou Lei refused to receive.

-Thank you, Mother! – He said. – Hou Lei, don't waste our mother goodness.

-Okay, you should go soon, it takes more than a day to get there. – The Queen said.

-Thank you, goodbye mother! – They said and left.

They got into a horse wagon rode by the General Soldier. Tian Liam sat right next to Hou Lei in the wagon, he looked at her belongings.

-You bring only some dresses? – He asked.

-Yup, this is not a vacation trip, I think I don't need the luxurious dresses there.

-Why not? You just need to stand at the entrance of the food warehouse and command the soldiers to do the other works. You should dress well, if not, people will say that I don't take care of you or I treat you badly, let you wear simple dresses.

-Okay, my Prince, we're going to the South where have suffered to typhoon, not a beautiful place, people at there need our help, not our fashion walk.

-That's my cute wife! Actually, I just want to know your idea about this trip, I have gone to some trips Like this with different ladies from the bureaucrats' families, they always wanted to wear beautiful dresses and asked others to do everything.

-So you can’t watch the beautiful ladies in nice dresses this time?

-Well, I think you already know the answer.

-Oh, how can I know your answer when you don’t say with me?

-Okay, just as your command, I just want to watch you all the time, no one else. Even in simple dresses, you’re still very beautiful to me.

-Honey, it’s honey and sugar again! – She mumbled.

-It’s you the one who wants to hear my answer. Why you blame me for that?

-Sorry, sorry my husband, it’s my fault! Okay! Now please take a nap, there will be a long way.

She laid her head on the wagon’s window corner and closed her eyes. He sat there and still mumbled about why she blamed him all the times. The sunlight was strong and all the people in their group felt tired. They got into a small restaurant near the big road. Tian Liam woke Hou Lei up:

-Hou Lei, we get to the restaurant! Go out there to have some tea and food.

He helped her get down of the horse wagon. They walked into the restaurant, the male owner of the restaurant looked at her strangely. She looked at him too, but Tian Liam led her to a table and pull out a chair for her.

-Bring us some food and tea. – The Soldier General said to the owner.

-Your food will be here in minutes! – The owner smiled and answered.

After a while, the owner brought out some trays of food and tea. The soldiers took the tea for treating their thirsty. Hou Lei picked up a cup of tea from Tian Liam and smelled it. She felt something wrong and shouted out at other people.

-Stop eating food and drinking tea! They were poisoned!

But she was late, some soldiers fell down to the ground and their faces were white as there was no blood in their bodies. The General dropped a cup of tea on his hand and ran to catch the owner of the restaurant. Tian Liam got up and asked the owner:

-Why do you poison us? Who made you do this?

There was an arrow from nowhere flying to their place and hit the owner’s head. He fell down to the ground without saying any word. Tian Liam raised his hand to the man’s nose and shook his head.

-He died. How we can save the soldiers?

-I think I know who want to poison us. – Hou Lei stood up. – But it’s not important now. I think there will be a vial of counterpoison on the man’s body.

The General searched thoroughly on the owner’s body and found out a vial of dark liquid.

-But it seems to be enough for just one person. – Tian Liam said.

-Could you help me bring my bag here? – She asked him.

-Here it is. – He came back from the horse wagon.

-The poison is strong, but I think I can handle it. – She took out some small fruits from her bag.

-The magical fruits? – He surprised. – You always bring them with you?

-Yup, they have many applications. And this is one. – She dropped a drop of the dark liquid in the vial to each fruit and put into the soldiers’ mouths. – Actually, I don’t know, but it’s worth a try, I don’t know how strong this poison is, this is the only way we can do. If we let the time pass, we can’t save them. – She explained.

After a while, the soldiers who got poisoned woke up in the surprise of Tian Liam and the General.

-It’s so amazing, Hou Lei! – Tian Liam said.
