MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 16: Tian Liam

PART 112 – THE MISSING OF TIAN LIAM_2

Hou Lei waited for Tian Liam the whole night, she did not get sleep. She was afraid of something bad happening to him, and she wanted to see if he came back in the night just because he just finished his works in the government. But the morning came, and nothing happened. In the early morning, she chanted a spell and tried to find the signal of him in the royal city. And again, there was no signal found. She started to get more worried. She changed her clothes and walked to the Queen’s room. She stopped at the door and confused that should she inform that her or not? And she thought that she should do everything than nothing, she knocked on the door.

-Who’s that? It’s too early. – The Queen replied the knock.

-Mother, it’s me, Hou Lei. I have something to talk with you about. – She answered.

-Just get in, my daughter.

-Mother, do you have any information about Tian Liam now? – She sat to the table next to the Queen.

-Tian Liam? – The Queen surprised. – Is that he should be with you these days?

-Yup, he said that he would go to the royal city to buy something yesterday morning, but he hasn’t returned yet.

-Maybe he had some works to do for your father?

-I’d asked Second Brother, he had no work yesterday. He told Tian Liang to help to solve the works if Father needed it, he had gone to the royal city.

-Well, that’s strange, Tian Liam always, at least, let me or you know where he will go or what he is doing. You make me worried too.

-Can we ask Father to send some soldiers to the royal city to find him? I’m afraid that something bad happening to him.

-I know, I’ll tell your father immediately. You should wait in your room.

The Queen stood up and walked to meet the Emperor. He also felt that was a strange thing, he asked the bureaucrats about Tian Liam if they had seen him, but no one knew where Tian Liam was now. The Emperor asked a sentry to call Tian Liang to meet him in his reading room. Besides, he asked the Soldier General to send some soldiers finding him in the royal city. After a while, Tian Liang came to meet the Emperor.

-Father, you want to see me? – Tian Liang greeted him.

-Did you hear about the missing of Tian Liam? – The Emperor asked.

-I talked with my sister-in-law yesterday. He is still not found now?

-Yup, I sent some soldiers to the royal city to find him, hope that we will receive good news soon.

-What do you want me to do now?

-Well, it’s a little bit messing here, so please help me to take care of the works in the government.

-I understand, Father, don’t worry about that.

-Another thing, I have something for you to do now…

Tian Liang sat down on the chair oppositely to the Emperor. They talked about something while Tian Liang nodded continuously and the Emperor pointed at some points on the maps.

The evening came and the soldiers of the Emperor returned from the royal city. They met the Emperor and the Soldier General with Hou Lei, Tian Liang and the Queen in a private room.

-My Emperor, my Queen, we have run across many roads in the royal city, but we couldn’t found the Third Prince. – The leader of the soldiers said.

-So where is he now? – The Queen worried. – It’s not a good signal.

-I know that, enlarge your finding area, to the provinces next to the royal city. – The Emperor said.

-My Emperor. – A soldier ran fast from the outside of the room.

-What happened? We’re in a discussion. – The General said.

-My Emperor, my Queen, we have not found the Third Prince, but we found his horse on a road in the royal city. – That soldier replied.

-His horse? – The Emperor surprised. – So where is he?

-I have asked some other soldiers to find around that place. – The soldier continued.

-Okay. Just inform us of the newest information you have. – The General said.

-Wait. – Hou Lei said before the soldier walked out of the room. – Do you know what place the horse was tied to?

-My Princess, it was tied to a pole near a fabric store. – The soldier replied.

-Ziam Jun’s store? – She wondered.

-That is right, my Princess, but the store was closed. – The soldier said.

-Do you know that place, Hou Lei?  - The Emperor asked.

-Tian Liam had led me to that store once, maybe he got to that store to buy some fabric rolls yesterday. – She continued.

-That store must be the point to start our investigation. – The General said.

-But the store was closed, we do not know its owner even. – Tian Liang said.

-I felt something strange with the owner of the store for the first time I met him, I have done some researches about the fabric of the store because of its strange characteristics and textures. I planned to tell Tian Liam about that, but it was too late. – Hou Lei regretted.

-What are the results of your researches? – The Emperor asked.

-That kind of fabric is related to the Er tribe. – She replied.

-Er tribe? – All of them were surprised.

-As I know, they have ugly forms and only live in the mountain in the South, how can they be here, in the royal city? – Tian Liang asked.

-Yup, but some of them just look like us, and with the full strength of an Er person. – Hou Lei said. - My teacher used to meet some of them in the royal city of the West Land. They are very good at hiding their identities and living just like normal people.

-Are you sure about the information you have? – The Emperor asked.

-I’m sure, father, how dare I lie to you? – She replied.

-Okay, so maybe that the Er people have led Tian Liam to their place now. – The General said.

-But for what? – The Queen asked. – Why do they want to capture Tian Liam?

-Because they heard that we want to destroy them just like the Hou Ma tribe. – Tian Liang said. – I think that there are some persons wanting to take advantage of this chance to spread that rumor. And the Er tribe doesn’t want to have the result like Hou Ma tribe. So, they take a step first.

-Do you want to destroy the Er tribe? – The Queen surprised and asked the Emperor.

-Nope, that’s just a rumor of some bad guys. The extinction of the Hou Ma tribe was more than enough for me. I’ve been regretted for a long time about that mistake. – The Emperor said. – However, we can talk about that later, the important thing now is the safety of Tian Liam. If they really kidnapped him, we should carry out a good plan to rescue him.

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 16: Tian Liam

PART 111 – THE MISSING OF TIAN LIAM

Feeling the warmness from his back, Tian Liam opened his eyes and looked down to his stomach, he saw Hou Lei’s hands were wrapping around him. He moved his neck lightly to see her face, she was laying her head on his back.

-Hou Lei, you’re back! – He said to her.

-Sorry for letting you here alone! – She raised her head up.

-I’m always waiting for you here… - He turned to the backside and touched her cheek.

-Why haven’t you had your dinner?

-I was…

-I know you were there. – She cut his sentence.

-How could you know? I had tried my best to hide.

-But did you know that you left just too early?

-Too early? I don’t understand.

-You just heard the first part of the story. – She replied. – The second part was about you.

-About me? – He sat up on the couch to listen to her clearer.

-Well. – She sat down next to him. – I’m lucky that I still have you here with me, your love makes me feel safe and reduce the missing of my hometown.

-Did I miss the best part? – He looked at her fully emotional.

-Yup. – She touched his face. – However, I won’t say those things again.

-I just need to know that I still have a corner in your heart, that’s more than enough to me. You don’t need to say sweet words to me, because you know, living with you for a long time, I have been affected by your personality, I don’t like honey anymore. – He laughed.

-Okay. You must be hungry much. Wait for me some minutes, I’ll bring the food to the kitchen to make them warm again for you.

-Wait. – He held her hands back. – Let Ah Jiang do that, I want you to be here with me.

He stood up and brought the tray of food outside, he gave it to Ah Jiang and asked her to bring to the kitchen for the chefs making them warm. He returned and sat down next to her.

-Can I borrow your thighs for a while? – He asked.

-For doing what? – She wondered.

-I need treatment. – He whispered to her ear.

And he laid down his head on her thighs immediately before she could refuse. She was surprised when he did that, but she let him do and looked at him gently. He closed his eyes and felt the warmth from her body. That feeling made him feel very peaceful, like there was nothing in the world outside could beat him down. He just needed to be with her.

She gently rubbed his hair and thought about their future. What would be the result of them? He truly loved her much and she also loved him. However, fate was so cruel when playing with them. She wished that she was not the Princess of Hou Ma tribe and he was not the Prince of Main Land, their love would be endless. Now, her previous plan was destroyed, she needed to have another plan to find out the Hou Ma gem. The more time she spent on finding the gem, the less chance she could revive her tribe. She even did not know what was most meaningful to her now. The revival of Hou Ma tribe or the love of  Tian Liam? She shook her head to make her mind clear, she had to remember what made her be here and what was her mission.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. Hou Lei shook Tian Liam lightly to wake him up.

-My Princess. It’s me, Ah Jiang. – The maid was back.

-Okay, I’ll get there. – She replied.

He sat up and she walked to get the tray of food. She closed the door and put the tray on the table.

-Now, my Prince, could you get here and have your dinner?

-Of course, I’m fully charged! – He smiled.

-Look like you’re taking advantage of me!

-Nope, I just feel so tired and being with you makes me feel better.

She put the food into his bowl and poured some tea into a cup for him.

-Did you have your dinner with them? – He wondered.

-Them? – She asked. – Oh, Miang Xiang, Mr. Hu, and Tian Liang. Nope, when I knew that you were there and just left, I also stopped talking with them and prepared to return here.

-It seems that my wife cares much about me.

-You aren’t happy with that?

-Nope, of course, I’m happy, but you make me surprised a little bit.

-Okay, just eat and go to sleep early, you talk too much.

That night, Ziam Jun was back to his store to check the new deliveries of fabric rolls. Getting there with him were some strange people, they wore strange clothes and brought with them some packs. Those guys were planning to do something mysteriously.

Some next days, Tian Liam wanted to buy some new fabric rolls for making clothes for him and Hou Lei. He rode the horse to the store of Ziam Jun. After choosing some rolls, he walked around the store to see what if he could choose some more. Ziam Jun saw him focusing on the rolls. He walked to the door and lightly closed the door. Some of his servants slowly reached to Tian Liam’s place and caught him from behind. He struggled much and tried to escape from the guys but they were too strong in comparison to him. They took out a small towel and covered it on his nose. His moves slowly became weaker and his hands fell down. They brought him to a big trunk and put him inside that trunk. Right after that, Ziam Jun and the strange guys got onto a horse wagon, they put the trunk containing Tian Liam on the back of the wagon. They rode the wagon out of the royal city and leading to the mountain where the Er tribe was now living.

The night came, Hou Lei was still waiting for Tian Liam. He said that he would have some surprises for her when he returned, but that had been the morning. She started to worry, she walked around her room, and looked out of her room through the door to see if he was coming back. Tian Liang walked pass through the entrance leading to her room and saw her with a worried face. He got into the yard and walked closer to her room.

-Sister-in-law, is everything okay? – Tian Liang asked.

-Well, Tian Liam hasn’t returned yet. – She replied.

-Maybe he has some works not done. You look worried much.

-He said that he would have something surprising to me. But he has left from the morning till now.

-Don’t worry, he is very good at martial arts, no one can hurt him easily.

-But I feel something not good about him. Could there be something bad happening to him?

-Okay, I’ll ask the Soldier General and others about him. You should have your dinner and have a good sleep when you wake up tomorrow, he will be right beside you.

-Hoping that he is okay. Thank you, brother!

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 15: The big ritual

PART 110 – THE THOUGHTS OF HOU LEI_3

-Well. – Miang Xiang paused. – I know your mother.

-And you know magic too? – Hou Lei continued.

-Actually, I’m one of the people of Hou Ma tribe. I left the tribe many years ago for finding my true love. – She laughed to herself. – But you know, true love is something hard to find. And even you found it, keeping it with you is also a hard thing to do.

-So you failed to find your true love?

-We can say that, that man betrayed me, he didn’t love me really, he loved the magic I have. And then, he received the price of the magic paying with his own life.

-That can’t be called true love. Why don’t you return to the tribe?

-I know, but I couldn’t return to the tribe, because leaving the tribe at that time was extreme guilt. Moreover, to have my lover, I had done something bad to the tribe.

-Something bad? What was that?

-This time is not suitable for talking about that thing. I surely tell you at the right time.

-You and my mother were friends?

-Yup, we were like sisters while we lived in the tribe. However, after I left the tribe, our connection was broken, and we hadn’t talked to each other for a long time.

-Were you the lady in pink I met in the Er tribe’s place?

-You’re smart, my Princess. Yes, I gave the green gem for you. And as I just said, you will know everything at the right time, not now.

-Why do you always want to keep secret for your own?

-I don’t keep it for myself, it’s just not the right time. You know, everything has its own price, I had to pay my price in the past for my faults and soon, I have to pay again for the thing I created.

-You make me very confused, the “thing you created”?

-That’s enough for today, my Princess, I don’t want to make a mess in your mind.

-Wait, wait, can you lead me to meet my mother? I only met her when she connected with me via our mind connection. Please, Miss Miang Xiang.

-I can, but not today, I will tell you the reason later. Now come and join with the guys, they are waiting for us. Just tell the three of us everything, my Princess, you know you can believe in us.

Miang Xiang led Hou Lei downstair and sat next to Tian Liang and Mr. Hu.

-My Princess, can you drink? – Mr. Hu asked.

-Just a little. – She replied.

-This wine of Miss Miang Xiang is the best of the royal city. You should try once. – Tian Liang said and poured a cup of wine for her.

-Thank you. – She received the wine.

-How was your life in the palace, my Princess, tell me! – Miang Xiang said. – And I’ll help you to tell you that to your old lady.

-Well. – Hou Lei put down the cup of wine. – Actually, I don’t know where to begin.

-Just naturally, sister-in-law. – Tian Liang said. – From the time you got here until now.

-My Princess, I know that you always hide many things behind your good life. – Mr. Hu said.

-Yup. – She replied. – Everyone knows that life in the palace is not easy, you will always need to be careful in everything you do, every word you say, everyone you meet. That life makes me feel very bored and uncomfortable.

-That’s the thing everyone knows, tell something particular. – Miang Xiang said.

-You know what, - She continued. – I must face with Liu Han and the Crown Prince every day. They always want to find a way to separate me and Tian Liam. That makes me so tired, why they don’t even know what fate has set up for the four of us.

-Liu Han always thinks that she and Tian Liam were soulmates from childhood, and they are a lovely couple in everyone’s eyes. – Tian Liang replied.

-And the Crown Prince, he also admires your beauty for a period, after he feels bored, he won’t have any excitement with you more. – Mr. Hu said.

-But it seems that Hou Lei had made an effect into Tian Leong, he was obsessed much to her. And the desire to have her by his side was getting bigger day by day and leading him to madness. – Tian Liang continued. – And Liu Han, she also got the price for her bad works.

Tian Liam was hiding behind the door of Miang Xiang’s motel. He was listening to their stories, he would not feel surprised with what Hou Lei shared with them. One thing he was thinking that, why she could easily tell them the hard things she had met. She always hid those things from him, was that he was not an enough-trust person for her? He felt upset and did not know what to do, he walked to the horse and rode it back to the palace.

-But one thing, there was one thing keeping me here. – Hou Lei said. – That was Tian Liam. He said that he truly loved me, and he would prove that to me. After more than two years living with him, I can now feel clearly his love for me. He proved what he said was true.

-And you accept his love already? – Miang Xiang asked.

-But there will be an unhappy ending for us. – She replied. – So from the beginning, I didn’t want to receive the love of him. However, his honest and kind-hearted have made me change my mind. And love was built up without knowing.

-He’s just left. – Miang Xiang said. – Right before you talked about him.

-He was here? – She wondered. – Why didn’t you tell me?

-He just wanted to listen to what you talked with us, and it seemed to be that he had left too early. – Miang Xiang replied. – And he was the reason why I couldn’t lead you to meet your mother!

-He had to feel upset for listening to what I said. – Hou Lei stood up.

-My Princess, wait for a minute, we will be back to the palace with you. – Mr. Hu said. – I want to talk something to Miang Xiang before we go.

Mr. Hu and Miang Xiang walked to the kitchen of the motel.

-Worry about him? – Tian Liang looked at Hou Lei.

-I don’t want him to be misunderstood. – She replied.

-You can explain it to him after we get back. However, I think that he won’t admit that he was here. So you shouldn’t explain anything to him, just show your love to him and he will feel it immediately. He loves you much. Some sentences can’t break true love easily.

-Thank you, brother-in-law!

-We’re done. – Mr. Hu came back.

-Goodbye, My Prince, my Princess, hope to see you later. – Miang Xiang said as they got back into the horse wagon and left.

When Hou Lei returned to her room, she saw Tian Liam curled up on the long couch near the window. She slowly walked to his place and sat down on the floor to hug his back.

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 15: The big ritual

PART 109 – THE THOUGHTS OF HOU LEI_2

The next day, after greeting the Queen, as usual, Hou Lei walked to West Liang palace, she asked Ah Jiang not to go with her, however, there were some soldiers with her as the request of Tian Liam for keeping her safe. The assassins created by Lei Hwa had made him and many people in the palace and the royal city felt not safe. She asked the soldiers to wait for her at the entrance leading to Tian Liang’s room. She stepped to the door of his room and knocked on several times. However, there was no answer, she continued to knock on some more times. Thinking that he was not in his room, she turned back to the entrance and planned to walk back to her room. At the entrance, she saw him walking back in a hurry. He saw her and stopped from a distance.

-Looking for me, sister-in-law? – He asked.

-Yup, I want to talk with you about something. – She replied.

-Well, what “typhoon” brings you here today? – He laughed.

-But you look like in a hurry, I’ll meet you later.

-Oh, just something for the works in the government. – He answered. – It’s rare that you actively get here to meet me, how can I make you disappointed?

-Can I talk to you in private?

-Of course, please get in. – He opened the door.

She looked at his room, a very nice and impressive decoration. It proved that he seemed to focus much on his spiritual life. He led her to sit down on a chair next to the window.

-I don’t know that you would be here, so I don’t prepare anything for you.

-It’s okay, I’m here to talk with you something fast and I’ll leave soon. Don’t worry! – She replied.

-Have some tea. – He poured the tea for her. – This tea is from the East Land, they have a very special tea culture belong to their lifestyle.

-Your knowledge about countries is very large.

-Well, not enough to me, there are some places I want to discover, but I won’t ever have a chance.

-What are these places? – She wondered. – The tea tastes very good.

-Hou Ma tribe and Er tribe. – He answered but he changed the subject immediately. – But let my story later, talk about your first, what do you want to tell me?

-Firstly, I want to say thank you for your help in bringing the medicine for me. Secondly, thank you for keeping my secret well.

-Secret? What’s the secret? – He surprised.

-About the medicine, don’t tell me that you made the medicine on your own.

-Of course not, but I took it from someone I can believe in.

-Someone? Do I know that person?

-Maybe, Miss Miang Xiang. – He replied.

-Miang Xiang? How could she…

-I know your question, I don’t know too. But I believed in Miang Xiang when she said that she knew someone who could help you.

-You can believe her easily, you two must have been known each other for a long time?

-Not much, but I know that there are always mysterious things around us and Miang Xiang is one of the ones help me to discover some of them.

-Oh, that makes me surprise, however, can you meet me and Miang Xiang in person? I also want to ask her something. – Hou Lei suggested.

-Of course, how about tonight? I have some works with the Soldier General and we can meet her with him also, you know, he is her good friend.

-That’s a good idea, see you tonight.

She stood up and stepped out of his room.

-Goodbye, sister-in-law! – He closed the door.

She returned to her room, watering the garden, tidying her things in the room. The lunch came, she had her lunch lonely because Tian Liam had some works in the government today, she thought that had to be something relating to the assassins created by her mother the day before. After a short nap in the afternoon, she walked to the kitchen and cooked some dishes for him. She put the tray of food on the table and then changed her clothes. Before walking to meet the Soldier General, she told Ah Jiang something:

-I will meet the Soldier General for some works, if the Prince comes back, please tell him to have his dinner with the food I prepared for him on the table.

-Yes, my Princess. But you don’t want to let the Prince where you want to go?

-Well, just tell him that I go to meet the Soldier General, he won’t be worried when knowing that I’m going with Mr. Hu. – Hou Lei said and went out of her room.

Right after some minutes she had left, Tian Liam got to her room. Ah Jiang told him the things Hou Lei had said. He sat on the chair looking at the food she had prepared and wondered himself.

“Some works with the Soldiers General? What does she want to do with him? Or she is hiding something?”, then he shook his head. “Well, she won’t hide anything bad, right. However, today Mr. Hu would have a meeting with Tian Liang for solving some works in the government. And then… do they plan to meet Hou Lei together?”

He immediately stood up and ran to the room where the General would meet Tian Liang. A horse wagon had just been leaving the road in front of the room. He got his horse in the stable and tried to catch the wagon. They rode the wagon out of the palace and leading to the middle road of the royal city. And then, he realized they stopped in front of the motel of Miang Xiang.

Tian Liang and the General got out of the wagon, they helped Hou Lei to walk down and the three got into the motel. Tian Liam tied his horse to the pole near the motel and watched them from a small food stop opposite the motel.

-Oh, My Prince, my Princess, and Mr. Hu. – Miang Xiang greeted them. – What beautiful wind brings you here with me?

-Hou Lei has something to tell you. – Tian Liang answered.

-And I have a long time no see you. – Mr. Hu said.

-You miss me, or miss my wine, Mr. General. – She laughed. – Okay, Xian, bring the best wine to these two special men. My Princess, I know you will come to see me soon.

-Can we talk in private, Miss Miang Xiang? – Hou Lei said.

-Of course, but I need to prepare something for these two VIP guests. – Miang Xiang replied and walked into her kitchen.

After some minutes, she brought a tray of food and her servant carried a big vase of wine to the table where Tian Liang and Mr. Hu were sitting next to.

-Hope you enjoy them first, I’ll come back to you after talking to the Princess. – Miang Xiang smiled.

She led Hou Lei to a room upstair and they got into the room.

-Do you know my mother, Miss Miang Xiang? – Hou Lei asked.

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 15: The big ritual

PART 108 – THE THOUGHTS OF HOU LEI

Right after sensing as Hou Lei had been back to her room in the palace safely, Lei Hwa returned to her ritual in her room and chanted another spell to collect back the herbs flying around the room. As the herbs did not shine anymore, the assassins on the roads of the royal city disappeared mysteriously. They faded in the walls of the houses in front of Tian Liam and the soldiers’ eyes.

-Did you see what had just happened, my Prince? – A soldier asked Tian Liam.

-Of course, I could see that strange action of the assassins. – He replied.

-What should we do now?

-You lead the other soldiers to find them if they are still in the royal city.

-Yes, My Prince.

-If you meet Mr. Hu, please say to him to meet me in the palace.

-We’ll go first, my Prince!

They left and there were two soldiers with Tian Liam. He came back to the palace and met the Soldier General, Mr. Hu. They got into a room for discussion.

-My Prince, I think that those assassins were sent here by some priests. – Mr. Hu said.

-I think so. – Tian Liam replied. – But how could they just appear and not do anything else?

-Maybe their aim is not stealing something or killing someone.

-Do you mean that they have another reason to be here?

-Yup, My Prince, as they want to make us focus on them and there would be someone else doing his business without our witness.

-That means… Oh, no, Hou Lei…

He immediately stood up and opened the door. He ran out of the room before the General could say anything. The General shook his head and smiled.

“I planned to say that I had asked some soldiers to look after the Princess before we got out of the palace for chasing the assassins.”

Tian Liam ran to Hou Lei’s room and saw some soldiers were watching out around her room. He fetched a sigh and felt calm down. He slowly got closer to the room and looked around before opening the door and got into her room. She was reading a book, she raised her eyes up to look at him and smiled at him. He closed the door lightly and sat down oppositely to her. She put the book down and looked deep into his eyes.

-You’re finding something? – She asked.

-Well, I just want to check if you’re okay. – He replied and poured some tea for himself.

-How about the assassins?

-They disappeared mysteriously. I, Mr. Hu and the soldiers couldn’t find them, just like they hadn’t existed in this life.

-So strange? Do you think about anyone could do that?

-I think that the priests did that, but have no idea for the reason. I have just thought that they wanted to aim into someone or something, not to steal the things in the city or kill someone specifically.

-And you think they wanted to aim at me?

-Yup, like in the party, the priests aimed to make you into something…

-Tian Liam, thank you for your consideration to me!

-What are you talking about? I’m your husband! – He touched her cheek. – How could I not care about my cutie wife?

-Just saying that… - She smiled. – I have something for you, wait here.

She stepped out of the room and walked to the kitchen. After some minutes, she returned with a tray, there were some biscuits on the dish in the tray and two bowls of sweetened soup. She put the tray on the table in front of his eyes. He looked closer to the food with excitement.

-This kind of biscuit… peach-tea biscuits?

-Yup, you remember them? – She smiled.

-I can be confident to say that I can name all the special food you’ve given to me.

-Sure? – She surprised. – In near three years?

-Yup, you can test me if you want!

-Tian Liam, I’m not easily trapped into your plan! – She laughed.

-What’s the plan? I don’t have any plans here!

-You want me to test you, and before I can carry out the test, I must cook something for you, right?

-Well, you’re too smart, you’ve got my tail. – He laughed.

-Okay, you don’t need to do anything, I’ll cook for you if we have time.

-Thank you, you’re the best present the God of Sky gave me. – He looked at her with sparkles in his eyes, then he pointed to the bowl. – What’s this soup?

-This is a kind of sweetened soup. It was cooked from many medical ingredients, so it can help you strengthen your health, especially after you took a lot of energy to chase the assassins.

-Well, both are mine?

-Nope, one bowl for you, one for Mr. Hu. – She brought one bowl out of the tray.

She stood up and brought the bowl with her.

-Where do you want to go? – He wondered.

-Bring this to Mr. Hu! – She replied.

-But I think…

-Okay, I’ll ask Ah Jiang to bring it to him, I know where he is now.

He took the bowl from her hand and walked out of the room. He called for Ah Jiang and talked something to her before giving her the bowl. She sat on a chair and looked at him with suspiciousness.

-Finally, have some time privately with you. – He sat back to his place.

-Okay, I know that you can’t live without me. – She laughed and got a cup of tea for him.

-Can I eat them now?

-What are you waiting for? – She wondered.

-You don’t cook the sweetened soup for yourself?

-I don’t need it, I just thought that you and Mr. Hu were working hard for the peace of this palace and the royal city, you two need to foster your health.
