MY EVIL PRINCESS:
Chapter 18: Choices
PART 127 – TIAN LIAM
CAME BACK
Tian Liang and Hou Lei helped Tian Liam to walk out of
the cave. Miang Xiang and the General led them back to the entrance of the
village.
-Should we burn this village to prevent them from
getting revenge? – Mr. Hu asked.
-No. – Tian Liam said weakly. – I do not want
something to happen to the Hou Ma tribe to occur again. At least no one was
killed.
-You can kill many of them here. – Tian Liang said. –
But there are many Er people around us, they will find a way to get revenge.
And you also know how strong they are, they can easily kill many people to
serve their purpose.
-I agree with the Princes. – Miang Xiang replied. – We
are still keeping their king, they do not do anything without his instruction.
I hope that we can change his mind and we can live peacefully with the Er
people in the same world.
-So just let them be there, the drug’s effect will
disappear in some more hours. And they won’t be hurt by the drug. – Hou Lei
said. – Let them see that Main Land people do not have the cold hearts as they
think and also prove that we respect them as our beings.
After getting back to the bottom of the mountain, Hou
Lei and Miang Xiang helped to treat the wounds on Tian Liam’s body before they
got onto the horse wagon to come back to the palace. Hou Lei let his head rest
on her shoulder.
-Are you sure that this is our real Third Prince? –
Mr. Hu said.
-Mr. Hu, you watched him growing, teaching him martial
arts and always beside him when he had a battle, how can’t you recognize who is
the real Tian Liam? – Hou Lei asked.
-I have no idea, I’m so scared that we rescue the fake
one like that time. He acted too well that no one could know he was the fake
Prince. – Mr. Hu replied.
-I don’t think that Er people had enough power and
magic to carry out the two rituals to shapeshift two persons into Tian Liam. –
Miang Xiang said.
-But that is just your guessing, we have nothing to
prove that. – Tian Liang said.
-Tian Liang, even you can’t know who is the real one?
– Hou Lei surprised.
-Was that you said, the ritual could even help someone
to copy the memory and characteristics of the original one? – Tian Liang wondered.
– What if they could carry out two rituals?
-You all talk too much. – Tian Liam said. – If you
don’t think I’m Tian Liam, you can leave me here and come back to the palace. I
can live by myself with my surviving skills.
-Okay, just take a rest and ignore them. – Hou Lei
said to him. – I know that you’re my Tian Liam!
-“Your Tian Liam”? – He lifted up his head. – Do I
hear the wrong words?
-Nope, but if you don’t follow my words, I will kick
you out of the wagon immediately. – She replied.
-Okay, okay, I know what I should do! – He laid his
head back on her shoulder with a smile of satisfaction on his face.
-So… you two can determine that he is the real Tian
Liam? – Mr. Hu asked Hou Lei and Miang Xiang.
-Absolutely! – Miang Xiang answered. – You know you
can believe in us.
After more than a day, they returned to the palace.
Hou Lei let Tian Liam lay on the bed in her room. As she covered the blanket
over his body, she prepared to go to ask the doctor to check for his health. He
held her hand and pulled her back.
-Can you stay here with me for a while? – He asked.
-I said that we would have plenty of time, Tian Liam.
Now let me go and call a doctor for you, and I also need to inform your parents
about your comeback. – She replied.
-You do not know what I felt when I was in that
prison! That was a totally scariest nightmare to me.
-Okay, Tian Liam, your health is the most important
now, I can feel that your pulses are very weak, you need the help of the doctor
first and you can tell me whatever you want when you are better.
-Just one more question…
-Okay, I’m listening, but just one!
-How can you assure me that I’m the real Tian Liam?
-Well, you know, that something called the feelings of
a lady.
She stood up and walked out of the room, she closed
the door carefully before walking to the Queen’s room and the doctor’s room.
She visited the Queen’s room, but the Queen was not there for having a meeting
with the Emperor and some bureaucrats. She went to meet the royal doctor and
asked one of them to go with her back to her room. She let the doctor check for
his health while she went to the kitchen to prepare some food for him.
After checking for him, the doctor listed out some
medicines needed for his treatment and gave it to Ah Jiang before he left. Ah
Jiang went to the medicine warehouse to get the medicine for the Prince and
came back to prepare the medicine extraction.
Hou Lei cooked gruel and some dishes for him to get
back his health soon. She brought the tray of food with her back to her room. She
opened the door and put the tray on the table. She walked slightly closer to
the bed and looked at him. He also opened his eyes a bit at the same time she
was looking at him. He immediately closed his eyes but she had noticed that.
-Wang Tian Liam, do you want to wake you by yourself or needing my help? – She asked.
-Okay, okay, I know what I should do! – He opened his
eyes and got up.
-Just kidding. – She laughed. – I know that you’re
still weak, let me help you.
She put her hands on his shoulder and helped him stand
up, then walking to the table. She let him sit down on a chair and opened the
cover of the bowl containing gruel. He took a deep breath to get the delicious
smell of the food into his nose. She took the spoon and got some gruel into the
spoon then blowing it to be cooled before giving it to his mouth. He looked at
the gruel strangely and confused between he should eat or not.
-What are you thinking about? – She asked. – You do
not want to eat gruel?
-Well, I am thinking that is there a lot of chili
powder in this gruel or not? – He wondered.
-Ahhh… it is that. – She put back the gruel into the
bowl and took the cover back on the bowl.
-What are you doing? – He surprised.
-You don’t want to eat, I’ll get them back to the
kitchen.
-Wait, wait… - He held her hands. – I just don’t know
what if you want to punish me or something…
-Oh, why must I punish you when you don’t do anything
wrong?
-I… I… I have no idea why I’m thinking like that.
Forgive me!
-Okay, so be good and eat all the food here, they can
help you to get your health back soon.
-Thank you so much!
-Sound not like my Tian Liam. Should I do something to
let you reveal your true face?
-Oh… I am your Tian Liam, I can assure you that!
-Prove that to me.
-You know that, my cutie wife, I think I do not need to prove anything.
