MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 7: The trip to the countryside

PART 53 - THE TRIP TO THE COUNTRYSIDE_3

Tian Liam and Hou Lei stopped for a while, they looked at each other wordless when listening to the question of the General.

-My Princess, is there anything I should know about this? – The General asked again.

-Oh, Hou Lei used to learn a little bit about medicine when she was in the West Land. – Tian Liam answered. – She knows some of herbs and treatment!

-Some of? I think this is a strong poison, Princess Hou Lei only needed to smell and recognized it immediately, and she even knew how to treat for the soldiers poisoned. – He wondered. – This is the skill of a very good doctor.

-Well, she… - Tian Liam paused.

-Yup, I learned much about medicine. – Hou Lei answered. – I know many kinds of herbs and treatments, I also know how to make the poison. Do you feel satisfied?

-Is that you said I should keep the secret about your treatment ability? – Tian Liam whispered to her ear. – Why you said to Mr. Hu all about this?

-I think I don’t need to hide it with you, Mr. Hu. – She continued. – I believe in you. I even treated for the Queen when she got a strange illness a month ago if you remember that.

-Of course, I remember that problem, people still wonder why the Queen could get her health back in only one night! – The General said. – So it’s you, the one helped her.

-Yup, I just did what I thought to be right! – She answered.

-All the soldiers. – Mr. Hu turned to them. – You must keep this issue in secret, you already know the Crown Prince can do what when you say about this to other.

-We know that, My General! – They answered.

-Bring this man out, and bury him well. – Tian Liam commanded.

The soldiers brought the man’s dead body out. Tian Liam sat down on a chair near Hou Lei and Mr. Hu.

-Hou Lei, you make me come from a surprise to another. – He said. – You medicine knowledge is not as simple as I think.

-I still wonder how you can know the Crown Prince would take action like this. – Mr. Hu asked.

-I didn’t know anything, I just felt the strange smell of the tea and thought that would aim to me. He wanted to kill all of you and left the cure for the owner of this station. That vial was only enough for helping me. – She answered. – But I couldn’t imagine he could do this with his brother!

-He doesn’t like me, he doesn’t care me as his brother! – Tian Liam said. – From the first day, I was born to this world. My mother had to protect me every second from being killed by my brother and the other wives of my father.

-That’s the cold-heart war in the palace, right? – She touched his cheek.

-Yup, that’s the reason why I had to learn much about martial arts, to protect myself from my brother and other forces in the palace. Although everyone knows that I don’t care about the fights for power and level, I’m still a thorn in others’ eyes. – He continued.

-I know that is a very hard way for you, my Prince! – Mr. Hu said. – So from the beginning, I was always with you, helping you in studying martial arts, preventing the dark plans on hurting you and the Queen. You didn’t make me disappointed, you are now a good Prince, a kind-heart man. Anyway, My Princess, thank you for trusting me. I know you are a mysterious lady, but I don’t force you to tell me all about yourself. I believe you’re good too, and if you want us to know about you, you will tell us at a suitable time.

-Thanks for your understanding! – She said. – I think we should get hurry to the South. Maybe the assassin has come back and informed for the Crown Prince about his plan corrupted.

They continued their way to the South and stopped at a small town at night for taking a rest. The soldiers were always watching out for the safety of the Prince and the Princess. Tian Liam and Hou Lei were set into one room, he let her sleep on the bed and himself sleep on the ground. At midnight, she woke up and brought the coat given by the Queen to cover on his body. The weather was cold, she opened the window and looked at the moon in the sky. She asked herself if her plan could be finished and she could find out the Hou Ma gem to help her tribe. She was wasting much time, but she could not make it faster. It took time for her to find where the gem was and how to take it out of the palace.

After one day more, they got to the South Province in the evening. On the main street leading to the bureaucrat's building, there were many people, both old and young, both male and female, sitting on the sides of the street, they had lost their houses and families in the typhoon. Hou Lei looked at them and remembered what she had suffered when her tribe was destroyed. She was empathy with them, knowing how much pain they got now.

They finally got to the bureaucrat's building, the firm building on a large area, totally different from the small and weak houses on the street. One soldier knocked on the door. It was opened by a sentry.

-What do you want? – The sentry asked.

-We want to meet the owner of this building! – Tian Liam said.

-How dare you to talk like that? – The sentry continued.

-You just need to ask him to hide in there and his head will soon not on his neck anymore. – Mr. Hu said. – I’m the Soldier General and you’ve just talked to the Third Prince of Main Land.

-Please, forgive me! – The sentry kneed on the ground. – I don’t know you’re the Prince.

-Lead us in! I want to talk to your owner! – The General said.

The sentry led them to the big house in the middle of the area. The bureaucrat was playing with his lady. He saw Tian Liam and the General walked, he immediately kneed down to greet them. The lady left the room rapidly.

-My Prince, My General! I don’t know you get here!

-You still have the mood to eat and play with your lady? – Tian Liam asked.

-So that’s the reason there are many poor people on the road? – The General said. – They work hard to serve your interests?

-It’s not that, my General, I do care much about the people of this Province. – The bureaucrat explained. – I helped them much, but there are too many people got hurt and lost house after the typhoon, I couldn’t help all of them.

-Don’t need to explain! – Tian Liam got angry with him. – You are the third level of bureaucrats and the representative of the government in this province, but from now on, I cut your title and you will be a normal person without any of this property.

-Please, My Prince, let me explain! Give me a chance to fix my fault! – He yelled as the soldiers brought him out of the building.

-You cut his title, so who will run the works of this building in manage this province? – Hou Lei asked.

-Ho Din. – He pointed at the man standing next to the General. – He will replace that man in managing until the time my father can choose another bureaucrat for this province. He’s been following Mr. Hu for a long time and he will know how to do it well.

-Thanks for your trust, My Prince! – Ho Din kneed down.

-So the sentries of this building, you know who is your new leader now, prepare the rooms for the Prince and the Princess, also prepare well for the food warehouse opening tomorrow.
