MY EVIL PRINCESS:
Chapter 17: Tian Liam
PART 123 – THE PLAN TO
RESCUE “HIM”_2
-Wait, and does that ritual have any relation to us? –
Mr. Hu asked.
-Well, the main point is I think that we had rescued
the FAKE Tian Liam. – Hou Lei continued.
-The fake Third Prince? – Mr. Hu surprised. – You mean
that someone carried out that ritual to be like the Third Prince and he waited
there for us to rescue instead of our Prince.
-Yup, you’re very smart. – Miang Xiang praised Mr. Hu.
– He wants to copy the Third Prince for replacing him, having all the things of
him.
-Do you have any idea about that guy? – Mr. Hu
continued.
-There is only one having the ability to do that, Er
Wang – Ziam Jun. – Hou Lei said.
-Ziam Jun, this name is very familiar. – Mr. Hu wondered.
– Is that the guy has a fabric store where Tian Liam used to get there several
times?
-That is right. – Tian Liang said. – That was the
reason why Tian Liam was disappeared around that fabric store and also, we have
not met Ziam Jun for these days!
-Because he has been busy with playing Tian Liam’s
role. – Lei Hwa said. – And that’s also the idea that we could not find any
trace of Ziam Jun from the time Tian Liam came back from the Er tribe.
-Oh, I remember something. – Miang Xiang said. – When
we went to the Er village to rescue Tian Liam, I saw something like traces of a
ritual. However, I did not know about this kind of ritual, so I could not
recognize what exactly the ritual was.
-So that, Er Wang had planned very carefully, just
copying Tian Liam right before we got there. – Hou Lei said. – Because this is
a very big ritual, so it took time for him to prepare and carry out.
-If all of these are true, we need to rescue the real
Third Prince as soon as possible. – Mr. Hu wondered. – He is still at the Er
village, right?
-Yup. – Hou Lei answered. – However, Mr. Hu, please
calm down. We need to reveal the fake one’s identity first and capture him
before going there to help Tian Liam.
-We just need to capture him, that is all. – Mr. Hu
said.
-It’s not easy like that. – Tian Liang replied. – He
knows all the things Tian Liam knows, so he can easily fool the Emperor and the
Queen. Moreover, if we do that without a plan, he can blame us for bothering
him and the royal family.
-So what should we do now? I am very worried about the
Third Prince’s status. – Mr. Hu said.
-All of us here worry about him, Mr. Hu. – Miang Xiang
comforted him. – But we’re here now to have a good plan to help the Prince.
-Okay, it’s not complicated much. – Hou Lei took out
the things in her bag. – I have here a list of herbs that we need to break the
ritual’s effect on Er Wang’s body. Miss Miang Xiang and mom, please help me to
find and get these herbs. In the ingredients to prepare the medicine, there is
a special thing, five blood drops of the fake one. I will find a way to get it,
you two will find the other herbs, when I have the blood, I’ll give to Tian
Liang. He will get here and give you the blood. You two should prepare well for
the medicine, and when you receive the blood, make the medicine immediately.
After that, Tian Liang will bring medicine to me. I will have my own way to
make him reveal his own self in front of the people. Mr. Hu and Tian Liang, you
know all about the secret, but I want you two to treat the fake Tian Liam as
usual, do not let him have any doubts about that. Besides, you two help me to
prepare the soldiers for our next step to rescue the real Tian Liam. The Er
people will not be trapped into our previous plan once more time, so Miss
Miang’s drug will not affect them like it used to. Miss Miang Xiang, I have
here a list of herbs to prepare a drug, this drug can lower the strength of the
Er people. We will need it to get into the Er village.
-Okay, we know what we should do. – Mr. Hu and Tian
Liang said.
-I and Miang Xiang will prepare the medicine and the
drug well. – Lei Hwa said. – Hou Lei, can I talk with you privately?
She stood up and got out of the room with her mother.
-Is that you fell in love with Tian Liam? – Lei Hwa
asked.
-I… Yup, mother. I cannot resist the kind-hearted
actions of him surrounding me. – She replied.
-Well, I do not prohibit you from loving him, but you
should know that you two will not have a good result. After all, he cannot be
with you.
-I know that, but I think that it’s worth trying once
in a lifetime, a true love.
-Is it true love when he knows your real identity?
-I do not know, but I just … feel the presence of the
emotions. I cannot care much about the future. Maybe it will be many miserable
things between us.
-Okay, it’s up to you, but be careful with this love,
you may get many pains in the future.
Lei Hwa and Miang Xiang got the two lists of herbs,
Miang Xiang came to many medicine stores in the royal city to find the herbs.
For some special ones, Lei Hwa got onto the mountain near the city to find
them. It took them more than a day to find all the herbs needed. They met back
at the motel of Miang Xiang, and from this time, Miang Xiang suggested that Lei
Hwa should stay at her motel for easier for both Lei Hwa and Hou Lei to meet
each other.
They did as Hou Lei had recommended, they prepared the
drug to fight with the Er people first while waiting for the blood of Er Wang
from Hou Lei. Miang Xiang and Lei Hwa spent much of their magic to get the drug
prepared faster. They also prepared some poison vials to fight with the Er
people because they knew that those people were not easy to fight with.
About Tian Liang and Mr. Hu, they chose the best
soldiers together, as Hou Lei described to them, Er people had very strong
physical strength, so they could not be beaten like normal people. The soldiers
had to be good at martial arts and knew well about fighting skills.
At Hou Lei’s side, she thought a lot to find a way to
get the blood of Er Wang. Finally, she found an ideal plan, she cooked a very
delicious dinner and waited for him to come back from his works of the
government. He was surprised when seeing her sitting in his room with a warm
meal next to her. He walked into the room and looked at her.
-Did you cook for me? – He asked.
-Well, we’ve not had a good dinner from the time you
were rescued from the Er tribe. I think that we should have some husband and
wife’s time and space. – She replied.
-And you are not angry with me anymore.
-It’s up to your behavior. Now, wash your hands and
get here with me.
Tian Liam washed his hand with the water she had
prepared for him. He did not notice that she had put some special herbs into
the water making his blood spread into his fingers much. He smiled at her and
sat down on the chair opposite her.
-Wow, the food looks so delicious. – He surprised.
-It should be. – She replied and put some food into
his bowl.
-Well. – He put some into his mouth and closed his
eyes. – Feel like I’m in heaven when tasting your delicious food.
-Get some tea. – She poured some tea for him and gave
him a cup of tea.
After some minutes, she brought up her bowl, and suddenly, she dropped the bowl on the ground. The bowl was broken, Tian Liam got down to pick the broken pieces of the bowl.
