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

PART 98 – TIAN LIANG MET MIANG XIANG_2

-Okay. – Miang Xiang replied Tian Liang. – This place isn’t a suitable place for us to discussing that, please get to my motel and let’s see if I can help.

They walked back to her motel, she led him to a room behind the kitchen of the motel.

-Wait for me here, I’ll get some food and tea for you! – She said.

A moment later, she came back with a tray on her hand with some dishes and a teapot. She poured a cup of tea for him.

-Now tell me, what happened?

Tian Liang told her about the party and Liu Han. She nodded her head with each event he listed out in the story. She put the cup of tea on her hand down.

-Well, I can see that Liu Han is the one who poisoned the bureaucrats, although she didn’t touch the food, her servants or her maids could do that.

-However, we don’t have any evidence to prove her do that. – Tian Liang said.

-Yup, I think I could make her reveal herself tail.

-I used to hear about Bei Kwang Xian, it’s a poison from the West Land, but for a long time, rare people still use it because it also has an effect on the one who uses it on others. That the first point, you need to find if someone in Liu Han’s building gets pain like the bureaucrats. The second point is, as you read many medical books, all of them are lacked information about Bei Kwang Xian, how can the royal doctor easily recognize the poison. It must be that he already knew about it before the party. The third point is the most important, I still don’t believe that poison in the food was Bei Kwang Xian.

-If the poison was not Bei Kwang Xian, how could Liu Han and the doctor assure like that?

-Do you know anything about Bei Kwang Xian? Does the Emperor know? Does Hou Lei know? No one knows, even me, I just heard about it but never seen it before.

-So how we can assure that’s not Bei Kwang Xian?

-We don’t need to assure that poison is Bei Kwang Xian or not, the point is, I’m sure with you, the poison Liu Han got only a poison having an effect like Bei Kwang Xian.

-You make me feel confused.

-Okay, easily like this, I will give you a cure of Bei Kwang Xian, then you will get the packs of poison found from Hou Lei’s room, and ask someone, like Liu Han, to taste the poison, and use the cure. If the cure doesn’t have its effect, that poison won’t be Bei Kwang Xian.

-Is this okay? Bei Kwang Xian is a strong poison, how can you have the cure of it?

-Tian Liang, do you want to rescue Hou Lei?

-Yup, but I don’t think my Father let me do that.

-So you need the encouragement from your mother and your brother. I believe that the Emperor has a conscious mind to know what is right or wrong.

-Thanks so much, Ms. Miang Xiang!

-Well, another point, to assure that we have evidence about Liu Han doing that, you can have some soldiers to follow the doctor, I’m sure that he is preparing for leaving the country.

-You’re so smart, Ms. Miang Xiang, I think I should talk with you more!

-Okay, now, you need to hurry up, the Emperor won’t wait for us to help Hou Lei.

-Thank you again, I don’t make you disappointed.

-The one you should tell that sentence is Hou Lei, not me.

-I’ll go first. – He stood up.

-Wait, Tian Liang, you don’t eat the food? You must be hungry after a day-long visit from a medicine store to others. Moreover, now in the evening, you shouldn’t make a mess in the palace. Let do it tomorrow. – Miang Xiang called him back.

-Oh, I forgot that I’m just too excited about I can help Hou Lei now.

-I know that, but you don’t mind that she is now your brother’s wife?

-I only care about her as a friend.

-As a friend? – She laughed. – I can see that you treat her more than a friend.

-But what can I do now? Take her over my brother’s hand. In addition, I think that she has feelings for him now, that’s good for both of them.

-But you know what, she won’t be by either your or Tian Liam’s side.

-I know, even though what happens, I still protect her by all of the things I have.

-I want to ask all the people, what’s love? – She laughed to herself.

-Thank you, Ms. Miang Xiang, for this delicious meal.

After the meal with Miang Xiang, Tian Liang rode the horseback to the palace. Tian Liam was still in an investigation about the case but nothing was found. He looked tired and walked back to his room, no one was there waiting for him like normal. He missed Hou Lei much although they had just been separated for more than one day. He did not care for the meal prepared for him on the table, he went straight to bed and tried not to think more about Hou Lei. He felt useless when he could solve many other cases, but couldn’t help himself in his own wife’s case. Later, heavy thoughts forced him to sleep exhaustedly.

The next day, Tian Liang had his breakfast very quickly before changing his clothes to meet the Emperor. Liu Han and the Minister were also at the main palace with Tian Liam and the Queen.

-My Emperor, my Queen! – Tian Liang greeted them.

-Why do you want to meet us too early, Tian Liang? – The Emperor asked.

-Father, I want to tell you about Hou Lei’s case! – He said.

-Do you want to prove she did not do anything? – The Minister laughed. – The evidence already showed the truth, my Prince!

-Okay, I’m listening! – The Emperor said.

-Father, Mother. As I saw the bureaucrats suffer such a pain with the poison Bei Kwang Xian, I have made a research yesterday at many medicine stores in our royal city and I found the cure of that poison. – He raised up the pack.

-Well, that’s good! – The Emperor said. – Give it to the bureaucrats!

-However, Father, I need to check it before giving it to the bureaucrats!

-What do you need to check?

-I need to check if the poison the bureaucrats got is actual Bei Kwang Xian or not?

-How can you check it? Just give the cure for them and if their pain disappears, that’s the cure.

-I assure this is the cure of Bei Kwang Xian, but I can’t assure that the poison in the food and the packs found at Hou Lei’s room is Bei Kwang Xian.

-What are you saying, Tian Liang? – The Emperor got confused.

-Bei Kwang Xian is a poison of West Land, that’s true, but it’s rarely used nowadays, I met a doctor from the West Land in the royal city, who has this cure. And that means only he has this cure.
