MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 14: The poison from the West

PART 97 – TIAN LIANG MET MIANG XIANG

-Actually, you’re getting mad of me, right, Hou Lei? – Liu Han said. – And you think you could poison all the bureaucrats today and then you would be the Queen of this empire? You wanted to destroy my father’s party, kill me and my father, and also the other bureaucrats, then you will build up another empire for your own.

-Liu Han, what are you saying about? – Tian Liam yelled.

-I’m saying the truth, she wanted to kill all of us. – Liu Han continued. – You can see how much poison Bei Kwang Xian she has here! Enough to kill all the people in this palace!

-Hou Lei, say anything! – The Queen said to her. – I believe you didn’t do that.

-Mother, I don’t know why those packs of poison were in my room! – She said.

-Don’t try to be innocent, my Princess. – Liu Han continued. – You have a lot of knowledge about medicine and poison also, right? You’re the one who cooked with the chefs in the kitchen this morning, the one easy to put the poison into the food without any doubts from others, but you didn’t plan that the poison was too strong and took it effect too early.

-Enough, we have the evidence here! – The Emperor said. – Capture Hou Lei and put her into the prison, waiting for the court!

-Please, Father! – Tian Liam kneed down. – Don’t capture her!

-We’re not done, Liu Han! – Hou Lei said to Liu Han when the soldiers captured her.

-Of course, you must pay for what you did today. – Liu Han said.

The Emperor and the Queen left the yard in front of Hou Lei’s room.

-Tian Liam, don’t worry. – Tian Liang said to him. – We’ll find a way to help her!

-It’s Liu Han’s plan. – He said with anger. – Why did Father not listen to me and Hou Lei?

-We’ll find out soon. We need to carry out the investigation to make this case clear before the court day of Hou Lei.

-I know what I should do, I will start with the kitchen and Liu Han.

-Good luck, I will read some books to find information about this Bei Kwang Xian!

-Thank you, brother!

-Don’t say that, she is a member of our family!

Tian Liam walked to the kitchen and asked the chefs about the events happened in the morning when Hou Lei was cooking with them. Nothing special happened. He checked around the kitchen but not find out anything about the trace of the poison.

That evening, he walked into the prison where Hou Lei was captured.

-I’m sorry, Hou Lei, I’ll do my best to help you get out of here! – Tian Liam sadly said.

-I’m okay, Tian Liam. – She touched his cheek from the inside of the grid of the prison.

-How could Father do that to you? I’ll find him to ask for letting you free.

-Don’t blame him for that. He was controlled at that time, his conscious was not clear about what he said or what he did.

-How can you know that?

-Liu Han used a kind of drug to make his mind weaker and he would follow every word of her.

-I know she would do something bad like that, I’ll find her to get an answer.

-Don’t, Tian Liam, she can use that drug on you also. I have no idea about that drug, it is very strange to me, so I can’t help Father at that time.

-Hou Lei, you must suffer this time, I’ll find out the way to help you.

-I believe the good will be protected, the truth will be revealed soon.

On the way back to his room, he met Liu Han, she prepared to used the drug on him, but he had eaten some mint leaves given by the chefs before getting to the prison to meet Hou Lei.

-Liu Han, I know you’re doing something behind us! – He said.

-I don’t do anything, Tian Liam, it’s your evil wife, she wants to be the Queen of this empire. – Liu Han answered. – She might seduce you with some kinds of drugs.

-I think that is what you want to do now. – He raised her hand with the pack of the drug.

-Oh, this is the medicine for my father, he got a little pain from the food this morning!

-So I sure you can get another one from the doctor. – He poured out the drug in the pack to the air.

-Tian Liam, what are you doing?

-I’ll find out the truth and if you did that, I would never forgive you!

He said and left, Liu Han laughed to herself.

-Tian Liam, I’ll wait to see who will help you! Every doctor in this palace is always fear with my father, or you’ll ask for help from your parents-in-law, for the time they get there, Hou Lei’s head will be not on her neck anymore.

Tian Liang was reading some medical books, but he could not find any information about Bei Kwang Xian. He was tired and slept on the table with the books around him. The next morning, he got up early and changed his clothes for going out of the palace.

“I don’t believe that the doctor could easily recognize the poison like that, but there was no record of that poison in the medical books of Main Land. If there was no information in the palace, I’ll go outside to find the answer, I should hurry up before the Emperor gets Hou Lei in court.”

He rode the horse to get out of the palace and to the medicine stores of the royal city. He visited many medicine store and asked about Bei Kwang Xian, however, all the owners of the stores gave the same answer, they had not heard about that poison. He got nearly all his day visiting the medicine stores. He felt disappointed, if he got to the West Land, he might have the answer, but it needed more than two days to get there. He did not have much time like that. He was walking and leading his horse with him, suddenly, he ran into a woman.

-Oh, sorry, Miss. – He said.

-No problem. – The woman looked at him. – Tian Liang?

-Miss Miang Xiang? – He recognized her. – Long time no see!

-Well, I heard that you had a very interesting trip to other countries.

-Yup, I learned many things different from our country have.

-You’re in a hurry? You look not good also.

-I have an important thing to do. A friend of mine is in danger, and I need to help her!

-Is there anything I can help with?

-Oh, that’s right, I forgot about you, it’s Hou Lei, she’s now in the prison.

-In prison? – Miang Xiang surprised. – Who captured her?

-The Emperor. – Tian Liang answered. – Someone poisoned the bureaucrats and blamed her to do that, my father didn’t believe in her and captured her. Now I need to find a way to help her out of the prison and make that one pay for her works.
