Aiguo exhaled loudly, he felt really frightened by his cold friend, he has never noticed he was this scary.
His tightly clenched hands were sweaty as his back was tensed up, but the knot in his tummy was still tight as he felt overly nervous of all the situation, could he have triggered some of her painful memories.
He lightly relaxed his tensed up muscles and untightened his hands and walked out of the house and went into the forest to hunt.
An Tang opened his eyes as he looked at his friend, he lightly shook his head, he was still childish and far from growing up, he was careless with words.
In the palace it was morning already when Lin Wei woke up and walked into Wang Yike's room.
He was up and having some soup, his face was a bit rosy and flashed, he seemed to be getting better after sleeping for a while.
"Good morning.." she greeted him as she sat down and signalled the palace maids to serve her with some breakfast, she was starving.
"Good morning Miss." He responded with his hoarse voice, he looked weak but still that noble aura was strong enough to announce his existence.
King Wang also walked in as he greeted them, "Good morning." Lin Wei just nodded her head and scooped some soup as she raised her hand to drink.
She noticed and smelt the strange smell that radiated from the aroma of the soup, she placed the spoon back down and bit her finger as blood trickled into the bowl.
The soup lightly sizzled as it formed bubbles, she pushed the plate away roughly as it fell down onto the floor.
King Wang and Wang Yike raised their heads to look at her in surprise and knew something is wrong.
"How dare you try to poison me?" She banged the table roughly as she jerked up.
" We are sorry Miss, we really didn't touch the food."
" We were given from the kitchen and immediately served you."
" Please forgive us Miss, we really didn't!"
The maids knelt down frightened as they kowtowed begging, tears fell down their cheeks.
Wang Yike frowned, who could do such a stupid mistake. King Wang also frowned in annoyance, this were petty tricks when it was her.
"My little hair pin, I want you to find the person with the poison, the person might be nearby." She lightly frowned, she didn't want to hurt the innocent maids, they might have been used by someone.
"You are all dismissed." She dismissed them but shook their heads, they were scared and afraid.
"Yes Master." The hair pin materialized into a beautiful girl before dashing out as she vanished.
King Wang was silent as Wang Yike placed the bowl down having lost his appetite.
The place went quite as they waited for the little girl to return back.
Wang Lin had not stopped even a little on the way as he finally arrived back at the manor, he was a little exhausted.
"Master I'm back." Be bowed in greetings.
"Mnnh you may rise, did you encounter anything?" She inquired as she leaned on the table.
" Yeah, we were attacked but all is good." He straighten his back as he stood up.
The little girl returned back dragging a woman and roughly threw her onto the floor unceremoniously.
"She has the scent on her and I also found the poison bottle hidden under her sleeves." She spoke out.
" What's the meaning of this?" The woman questioned coldly as she sat up on the floor aligning her clothes well, turning around she saw the King and Wang Yike looking at her.
"Greetings My King"
"Greetings My Prince."
She bowed as she greeted them before turning around to look at the little girl who was sitting on her left hand side.
Luo Wei looked at her carefully, she was around twenty four to twenty six years old, she was beautifully adorned and looked young.
She was wearing a beige hanfu with long round earrings that defined her facial features, her skin was light and soft.
"Why did you poison my food?" Luo Wei leaned back on the chair lazily as she inquired, her fringes curled down beside her cheeks beautifully as she gave her hair some loose bun.
"I don't know what you are saying!" She denied as her chin was raised up smugly.
"Why did you poison my food?" She asked again looking at the arrogant woman infront of her.
"I don't know why you are asking me for something I don't know nor did I do!" She became more arrogant.
Using her powers she teleported and stood infront of her as she bent down and caught her neck.
She tightly gripped it in her tiny hand as she looked at the woman.
"Wh.at... w..ha..t what are you doing?" She panicked as she stuttered, her breathing became labored and felt choked.
"Of course choking you to death." She snorted coldly, she had just woken up and very hungry, but someone had some guts to poison her.
"I didn't do anything"
"My King please save me, I didn't do anything."
She spoke out but Lin Wei could feel she hadn't repented but rather it was perfunctory words.
She roughly threw her away as she knocked against the wall.
"Wang Lin, just kill her off." She spoke out lazily, it was so early in the morning and she didn't want to be violent.
"No! Please don't!"
"I didn't do anything."
"My King please save me."
"I really didn't do what she is accusing me to." She begged and she wailed loudly.
" Wang Lin stop." Lin Wei commanded as she signalled her hair pin to do the search.
Her little girl approached the woman and did a thorough search in that they got the small bottle of poison.
"Miss, this is it." She passed it to her Mistress.
Lin Wei received the bottle and lightly sniffed and smelled the same scent that had wafted from the bowl of soup.
"That's not mine"
"She is trying to set me up!"
"That bottle belongs to her."
" She is the one trying to poison you."
"My little hair pin, have you heard? That woman is accusing you of poisoning your Master." Lin Wei snorted coldly.
" How dare she?" Anger bubbled deep inside from her heart, she knew it was a terrible mistake to poison your master as it was a death penalty.
The surrounding temperatures fell as it felt cold and freezing.
