Mad Crown Princess
Chapters. 15 - Eyewitness
”Your Highness, the trip to Hui Village is still quite far away. Does Your Majesty want to rest for a while?” ask a bodyguard who walks next to Tao Sonyun.
Tao Sonyun stared at the sky that was starting to darken. ”... Also true. We walked this morning. Maybe we should rest here for a while. The others must be tired.” he replied.
”Good, Your Majesty. I will immediately order the other troops.” The guard walked backwards and informed everyone behind him.
Tao Sonyun who started thinking about taking a break for a while, felt that there was something to check on him. While the troops were resting in their place, Tao Sonyun rode on his horse and walked into the forest.
Sure enough, a few steps after he moved away from the crowd, he heard the sound of the cries of some of the wounded. In addition, there was also the sound of flesh being torn apart by a very sharp knife.
Tao Sonyun who initially did not want to interfere, began to feel curious about what was happening in the forest. Without a second thought, he immediately got off his horse to see what was happening there. Even though he had already inhaled the scent of blood and screams from some people, he seemed to ignore it completely.
On the other hand, Shu Qingzhi had finished off a portion of the group of people trying to surround him. Shangguan Wei was at a loss for words to persuade Shu Qingzhi not to do so. But still, it cannot be stopped. He started to get anxious as Shu Qingzhi started getting quite severe injuries from his fight. And he also regretted having landed in the wrong place and should not have invited Shu Qingzhi back here.
”Shu Qingzhi! Stopit! Don't do it again!” shangguan Wei exclaimed trying to stop Shu Qingzhi. However, Shu Qingzhi instead attacked him so that it left him injured.
”Only the strong can survive! I don't want to die now!” shu Qingzhi shouted that directly attacked the criminal brutally even to the point of breaking his knife.
All these criminals died with incision wounds all over their bodies. In addition, some had puncture wounds to their hearts making the bleeding unstoppable. At least seven people died at his hands. And until now, he had never stopped attacking them at all costs.
And before his condition got worse, Shangguan Wei hugged him from behind making his movements instantly stop right then and there. ”Shu Qingzhi's. Stopit! Don't hurt yourself.” whispered Shangguan Wei.
The moment that happened, this group of villains instantly left the two of them with a feeling of fear after half of them had been killed at the hands of Shu Qingzhi who only used a knife.
Shu Qingzhi felt touched. He touched the back of Shangguan Wei's hand that was holding him. Slowly, his lips began to tremble and both of his eyeballs looked puffy as they were filled with tears. For the first time, Shu Qingzhi dropped his knife on the ground. He immediately fell down followed by Shangguan Wei who made sure he would not kill again.
”During this, I was so scared. I'm afraid I'm gonna die. Very scared!” shu Qingzhi said slowly. After that, he screamed and cried loudly while covering his sad face.
Behind him, Shangguan Wei seemed to be unable to say anything more to him. He understood his feelings and the fear he had been experiencing. It was only natural that he had never received the affection of anyone and had always been an outcast who was oppressed without any human feeling.
In the midst of her cries, Shangguan Wei whispered, ”Don't cry. Everything is okay. You better get some sleep. We'll be back now.”
A moment later, Shu Qingzhi suddenly fell asleep on Shangguan Wei's shoulder. He fell asleep quickly like this because Shangguan Wei used magic in his words. And at the same time, Shangguan Wei noticed that someone was watching them. However, he chose to be quiet because that person would not harm them both.
Not wanting the man to know that he was a witch, Shangguan Wei walked over with Shu Qingzhi to a place far from the rest of the crowd.
On the other hand, Shangguan Wei seemed to have indeed realized the existence of Tao Sonyun who was hiding there. Only, he did not want to prolong this affair and chose to forget it. However, Tao Sonyun himself felt very surprised after seeing it happen in front of his eyes.
”Why Princess Qingzhi can be there? So who was the man she was with? And also, is all this serious? Those people died in an instant?” the Taoist Gaman Sonyun thought about it. His face looked worried and thought that all this was just an illusion.
”The crown prince probably won't believe that I just met Princess Qingzhi. Oh, maybe not. He would definitely be very angry once he heard that Princess Qingzhi was still alive and he planned to kill her again.” thought he was starting to suspect.
”Your Majesty! It turns out you're here! We have been looking for His Majesty around the forest.” exclaimed a bodyguard who ran over to Tao Sonyun as soon as this bodyguard saw his horse parked not far from where he stood.
”Why is His Majesty not sleeping? Our journey is still very long tomorrow.”
Tao Sonyun glanced back and said, ”In fact, I just saw something that is very rarely seen in the palace.”
The bodyguard was stunned and immediately looked towards Tao Sonyun pointing using his eyes. Then, after that he looked surprised as soon as he was presented with a terrible sight. It was a pile of corpses that formed a lake of blood around it.
”S~ who has done all this, Your Majesty?”
Tao Sonyun folded his hands and replied, ”Who else if not Princess Qingzhi? These people surround it so they feel the consequences.”
”But, isn't Princess Qingzhi already dead after falling from the top of the ravine?”
”I don't think so.” replied Tao Sonyun. ”... He had indeed fallen from the top of the abyss. Then someone saved him. Isn't that a possible thing if that person is really lucky?”
”Did Your Majesty really see it? Your Majesty is not joking, is he?”
”Of course not!” answer Tao Sonyun. ”... But, it seemed that the man who saved Princess Qingzhi was not a human. The highlight of his eyes alone is very different and the aroma, more like the aroma of the inland sea.”
”Perhaps, Your Majesty thinks that the man is a witch?”
Tao Sonyun was stunned and asked back to him, ”You know something?”
The bodyguard nodded his head and replied, ”Of course. Lately, I have heard from villagers that there is a witch who can fertilize their plants in an instant. In addition, he could also grow flowers from a dead tree. They called the man a witch. However, they never knew what his name was.”
”Witch? So, that man is a witch? Why is he here?” asked Tao Sonyun who looked in disbelief.
”Maybe, it was a coincidence Your Majesty. The witch lived in the sea. So, it was only natural that she could meet Princess Qingzhi.”
Tao Sonyun thought, ”True too. Then, what should I do with him? What would happen if I told this to the crown prince?”
