"Of course they have been poisoned and you better hurry up and go down into the laboratory and let Doctor Zhang Feng and Zhou Hong do a thorough blood test, how many days since you were poisoned?" He sighed lightly they were really careless this time.
" Yesterday night." They politely responded feeling guilty.
"Alright go down, they might discover something by doing a blood test." They hurriedly bowed their heads and went down into the Laboratory, even if it was night, Zhou Hong was always ready for any emergencies.
"Get another batch to watch here carefully. " He instructed them as they walked towards the hostels.
In the Qing Kingdom, Xie, Wu Xue and Fei have been cultivating for hours now and it was getting evening.
Wu Xue snapped her eyes open, "hehehe.. I really did it! I did it Xie" She merrily murmured feeling the surrounding areas.
"That's good, your body might be a special one and most people fail after several months of trying, you should congratulate yourself." Fei complimented her gently.
" Thank you Fei, Xie." She felt really grateful having this two people accompanying her.
"You are welcome." Xie gently smiled back, she also felt so grateful that she was treated way more better than any other Princesses around.
"Did you manage to feel the energy?" She politely asked her.
" Yeah I did but still it's hard consolidating and integrating it into my body." She explained how she felt it.
" Don't worry, we will train daily on doing that early in the morning, it's the best time." Wu Xue lightly comforted her.
" All right, let's go and walk around the streets, it's been long since I ate some candies." She spoke out merrily as she pulled her sachet and looked inside checking the money Lin Wei had given her.
"Woow, you do have lots of money." Fei loudly exclaimed.
" Ohh this? Lin Wei gave me and said I can use it until she returns." She happily said as she counted.
" All right, let's go then." Xie held her hand as they walked out of the manor.
They walked down the streets and saw some candies.
"Xie, let's buy some sweets, I haven't tasted any for ages." She requested as she dragged her towards where the sweets were.
Xie nodded her head and let her pull her while Fei tagged behind them leisurely, he wasn't interested in the sweets.
Inside the Mental Cultivation Hall, King Jun was going through the memorials when a soldier rushed in.
"Reporting to the King.." he knelt down as he bowed his head.
" Yes, rise up." He motioned with his hand as he raised his head up and looked at him waiting for the report.
"My King, Princess Jun Wu Xue practiced horse riding and then they saw her sitting down crisscrossed and now she was skipping through the streets merrily accompanied by Xie and that little boy." He explained her entire day and what she was up to.
" What?" He punched his desk forcefully, he had thought she will go back to Ming Kingdom and cry to Lin Wei but why was her response totally different from what he had expected.
He leaned back on his seat as he lightly sighed, "it means she won't be able to assist us indirectly, the Empress was really right." He felt a little frustrated.
Suddenly a soldier walked in, "My King." He knelt as he bowed respectfully.
"Mmmmh.. you may rise." He released him as he stood up and approached the Eunuch.
"This is the letter I received from the Wu Kingdom, they are promising not to attack our Kingdom if we can betroth princess Jun Lin Wei to their crown prince." He stated what he understood from the letter.
" Humphh! Where is he? Do you think it will be that easy to get her to marry their crown Prince!" He sarcastically remarked as he smiled sinisterly.
" Respond to their letter and tell them she is way out of control and it's best they don't court disaster, I can give them another Princess." He spoke out seriously, he knew Jun Lin Wei wasn't a Princess whom they can easily coax to do anything.
"But my King..." The convoys wanted to reason with him but he shook his head.
"Sigh! We better go for the battle way, that way we can have chances of winning but creating her as our enemy will bring this Kingdom down, she is capable of burning it down into ashes with people included until it's empty, don't risk it when you already know the consequences." He lightly sighed.
" All right my King we will then respond to their letter." The convoy walked away as they went to fulfill their duties and so did the soldier walked away.
"My King don't you think we should have used her to stall the eruption of war?" The Eunuch inquired worriedly.
" Don't speak like someone who doesn't know her, it will be a massacre, so we better think of a better way than using her." He picked up a memorial and began going through it.
The Mental Cultivation Hall went quiet as he concentrated on the scrolls.
Xie with Wu Xue merrily munched on sweets and snack as they skipped around joyfully.
They were so concentrated on the sweets and didn't notice their was a line up of carriages and horses rushing towards their direction in high speed and uncontrollable.
Fei was busy looking around at the marvellous creativity and how simple and elegant the decorations were, the streets were lively.
He turned around to see whether they were done with their snacks to be surprised with the oncoming galloping horse which was only two metres away from them.
Using his powers, he swirled the air forming a shield before pushing the horses and carriage back, Xie and Wu Xue who just saw the horses had frozen and their mind couldn't act up as it was so sudden.
The horses and carriages fell on each other unceremoniously injuring the soldiers who were riding and the people who were inside the carriage.
"Impudent! How dare you attack us!" That booming voice woke them from their stupor as Fei approached them pinching their cheeks painfully.
