"Wu Xue, where did you get that cat?" He inquired curiously, he had seen it accompanying her for quite some time now.
"Oohh, this one? I adopted it of course." She caressed it sweetly just like a mother pampering her child.
"What if the owner had been trying to locate it or he is looking for it?" Fei looked at the cat that was laying in her arms so docile and quiet.
"The owner was careless and left it all alone to get wander and it got lost, it isn't my fault". She walked into the manor as she went directly into the bathhouse to freshen up.
Xie instructed the maids to serve them food as it was evening now and they were famishing.
In the Empress Manor, her health had deteriorated for the past three months and now she couldn't hold on much.
She closed her eyes and sighed, "the only regret is that I never got to be a good mother."
"Madam, you just need to wait for to come back and you can have a heart to heart talk with her." The palace maid tried to comfort her.
" No need, I hope in my next life I will be one.." she closed her eyes and that was it, she slept off for good.
The palace maid looked at her madam and frowned before calling her gently.
"Madam.. madam.."
She didn't answer nor open her eyes, she gently nudged her on the shoulder.
" Empress.. Empress.." she still didn't make any movement nor open her eyes.
She froze as she dashed to the door and called the soldiers to come in.
"I think there is something wrong with the Empress.." her voice was shaky as she was panicking.
The soldiers approached the Empress and tried to feel her pulse and heartbeat but nothing.
"Inform the Imperial Physicians and the King." The guard soldier instructed the other soldiers as they went down to the Mental Cultivation Hall.
"My King, there's an emergency." The soldier stormed into the Hall and knelt down as he reported.
" What emergency that made you not to knock at the door.. don't you see that I've an urgent meeting now?" The King rebuked coldly on his actions.
" My King, its the Empress.. something is wrong with her." He bowed his head as he repeated again.
" What's the matter with her? Is she throwing another of her tantrums again." He hadn't gone to her chambers after fighting for several occasions.
He decided to give her some space, she had became more despondent and distant.
"No your majesty.. they have even request the attendance of the imperial physicians."
" Imperial Physicians? Let's go." Something could be wrong with her if the Physicians were request for.
They walked out of the Mental Cultivation Hall and dashed down to the Empress Manor only to find the physician covering her.
"What happened to her?" He panicked as he dashed forward and uncovered the blanket.
He held her hand but it had turned cold, absolutely no warmth was left.
"she is dead."
The Imperial Physicians pronounced her death while looking at the King, the palace maid slumped down onto the floor as tears streamed down her cheeks.
She had spent her entire life serving the Empress now she felt heartbroken seeing her die even though it was a relief for the Empress.
"Why could she die? Why?" His voice was hoarse and he felt his eyes sting.
" We don't know the cause of her death, we have checked on her several times and we never found any illness." They explained themselves.
" Okay, all of you can go out now." He held her hand in his arms as he kneaded it.
He couldn't feel any warmth any more, she had left him behind like that.
"Why my Empress.. why?" His eyes teared up as he caressed her face.
"You just left me, you had promised and vowed to accompany me to eternity."
What happened to that eternity?" He wiped tears off as he looked at her face that had changed from the sunny one to a dark and dull complexion.
"Why? You have been sick but you just let it slide without even informing me, I could have thought of a solution.. why?"
Lin Wei who has been under the waters for an entire half a year, snapped her eyes open, she felt a little heartache and sharp pains in her heart.
She could see the water armies that were surrounding her.
Using the new acquired fighting technique, she controlled the water bases and formed it into water arrows before condensing them.
She then attacked the water armies with the condensed arrows as she transferred destroying energy into the arrows.
The water armies were destroyed as they tried to regenerate again, she got her knife from the thigh and began attacking them with burning energy before forming a seal and sealed them off.
"Aaaaahhhh...." She screamed out after she felt and indescribable heartache.
She swam forward as she tried to trace Jade and Bai Chang through their scent.
Since it was under the waters she suddenly saw several herbs that were growing along the ices and you could see the huge rocks ahead of her.
She swam towards the rocks and felt the temperatures were different, she went forward and saw a small tunnel going inside like a hiding place.
But what surprised her was that water wasn't flowing into the tunnel but rather seemed to be magically closed.
She approached the opening but was forceful pushed back several metres with an invisible barrier.
"What's happening?" She mumbled as she looked at the place.
She was certain there was something in there magically protected.
She closed her eyes to listen onto the surroundings.
She couldn't feel any living human being's heartbeat, "I will come back here." She swam forward looking for Bai Chang and Jade.
Lin Juan and his team finally arrived at the Tang family.
He drove the carriage into the compound, the place was majestic and well designed, it was way more beautiful compared to the Dragon Kingdom.
"Brother, we are here." Lin Juan had just spoken out when the soldiers surrounded them, the distance between the two places was quite huge and full of dangers so they never came to the Tang Clan.
"Why are you here?" The soldiers inquired.
"We are here with princess Tang Aiming." Lin Juan politely responded.
" Princess Tang Aiming? Where is she?" They inquired curiously.
The first prince alighted as he carried his mother outside the carriage.
She still looked the same way even though she was dead and her eyes closed.
"We will call Elder Tang over first." They noticed something was wrong with the said Princess.
