Chapter 126 Felt Hurt

At the Imperial Palace of the Si Kingdom

The night was cloudy, and a man was standing among the pear trees.

He leaned against a tree, his hand holding the tree trunk. The feather on his brow was fascinating and captivating. He stared, unblinking, in the direction of the Can Kingdom. It seemed as if his lover would appear at any time.

The sound of light footsteps came from behind him. Lei Tianyan?didn't turn around;?he didn't care who it was.

"Your Highness, it is nearly midnight and freezing out. You need to keep warm." She said softly as she draped a cloak over his shoulders.

"Your Highness, don't worry. She will be fine. It's time to go to bed."

Lei Tianyan turned his gaze. Instead of looking to the horizon, he looked down. 'I know she will be okay.

That's why It hurts though.

It is the fifteenth day of the month. Is she in Yang Gezhi's arms? Does she miss me, even a little?'

"Xi Yun*, how old are you?" His voice croaked in nervous suffering, adding a magnetic depth that was extraordinarily alluring.

(*TN: This refers to Lian Xing, a substitute for the real Princess Xi Yun.)

The girl lowered her head, blushing slightly, "Eighteen." she told him.

"Oh, You are eighteen now."

'Eighteen. Canglan is also eighteen years old. It was her age to be married.'

"Xi Yun?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Her voice held more than a hint of love, and anyone hearing her would realize she was infatuated with the prince.

"Xi Yun, marry me."

The next day, when Canglan woke, the pain she felt was as though she had been run over by a carriage.

She remembered a man saved her, but she couldn't recall any details. He had a faint plum blossom scent.

Canglan was surprised when she felt a flutter of panic in her heart. She touched her chest, and found a piece of cloth still clutched in her hand. It must have been torn from a magnificent robe. There was an exquisite red plum blossom embroidered on the cloth.

The plum blossom made her heart flutter again. 'What's wrong? This is strange, why would thinking of the man I was intimate with yesterday, make my heart flutter?

Damn it! Is it possible that I fell in love with him at first sight?' She suddenly recalled something important. 'Yesterday, I had an attack like before. Why did I have an attack early last month?

Yang Gezhi?

Yes, Yang Gezhi is the crux.'

C

n's health. After all, yesterday was the fifteenth of the month.

Yun Yu shrugged her shoulders, "I guess she is fine."

"What do you mean by 'fine'?" Yun Lie asked impatiently.

"My subordinate found a mark the Mistress left in an abandoned house outside the city. She said she had gone to the Ling Kingdom. The mark was newly carved. So she left not long ago."

Yun Canglan's servants were relieved. No one cared who was intimate with their Mistress when she had the attack of poison. They felt grateful their Mistress was alive.

"Why did Mistress leave for the Ling Kingdom?" Yun Ri asked surprised.

Yun Qin and Yun Qi faces showed their calmness as they explained, "I guess Mistress's next target is the Ling Kingdom."

"Let's set up a trip to go there." Yun Hua went from furious to extremely excited.

Yun Ri refused, "No, You and Yun Shu must stay in the Can Kingdom."

Yun Shu and Yun Hua complained, "Why? Yun Qin and Yun Qi lost the Mistress twice now. We are worried."

"You have a good understanding of the Mistress's health. She needs Yun Qin and Yun Qi to serve as safety guards. Besides, you are responsible for the safety of the Zhenguo General and his wife. Moreover, you should keep an eye on Huo Liuyun."

Yun Hua was unhappy, she agreed to stay after careful consideration though.

"Yun Qin, Yun Qi; you go to the Ling Kingdom. Yun Yu, make a survey on Mistress's identity and inform Yun Qin and Yun Qi your results. Yun Lie, tell Yun Xiang to transfer your powers to the Ling Kingdom. Now, we should make preparations for Mistress's next step."
