Queen Without Crown

Chapter 55 Sneaking

Chen hurriedly brought Fen home. At the White Pagoda, he saw a stranger asking the monk about a woman.

Chen suspected that the woman in question was Fen, because the stranger was seen from the same race as Fen. He had to be careful not to let Fen find out.

Chen therefore planned to take Fen away somewhere else. Chen thought about taking Fen to his hometown.

"Fen, tomorrow I want to take you to my hometown in the village. I want to introduce you to my mother. "

Fen's face immediately turned unhappy. He could not stand the attitude of Chen who loved to make decisions without discussing first with him.

"But Chen, you promised me to give me time until I was ready! "

"Don't worry, I just want you to get to know my family. "

"But Chen.. "

"Dear, don't argue. Actually I have to run errands for some time, so I want you to temporarily stay with my mother. "

Fen was silent for a while, then he recalled the events in the White Pagoda.

"So I heard someone say the name Gita. "

Fen's words suddenly made Chen's face pale. The man became extremely agitated, but managed to still show a calm facial expression.

"It must be just your imagination. Maybe I should call Physician Nyuk Giu? "

"Do I have to? "

"For the sake of your own health, you better obey the words of your future husband. "

"But I'm not sick. "

"Of course, honey. But to be sure, you still have to be examined by a healer. "

Fen was finally silent. It was useless to argue with Chen. The man was always gentle, yet pushy.

An hour later, Physician Nyuk Giu arrived. The woman's attitude was a little strange. He did not look at Fen's face at all. The doctor did his regular check-ups. Then take an acupuncture needle and ask permission to stick it on the nape of Fen.

"If I refuse, how? " Task Fen while looking intently at the healer.

"Miss has no reason to refuse my treatment." The physician replied calmly and confidently.

"How can I be sure that the medicine you gave me wasn't poison? " Fen Fishing Rod.

"Why did Miss say that? " The face of Physician Nyuk Giu instantly turned pale.

"Because I always get sick after you do."

"That doesn't make sense, miss. The medicine I gave you was just vitamins. " The physician began to fidget and tried to avoid Fen's gaze.

"Then try to wear it yourself." Fen's request made the healer even more nervous.

"Why is Miss acting so weird? "

"Any? You said your body was in good health. What is the function of acupuncture in the back of my neck? Why did I get sick after you put that medicine in my body? " A question that's getting cornered out of Fen's lips.

"You misunderstood Miss." The doctor tried to avoid.

"Prove that I'm wrong! Use the medicine for yourself! " Fen's voice sounded resolute and threatening.

"But Miss! " The physician wanted to argue.

"Do now! "

"Sorry Miss, I dare not. "

"Are you trying to poison me? " The charges were again filed by Fen.

"No, Miss, I won't." The physician fell at Fen's feet.

"I'll report it to Chen! " Fen is again issuing his threat.

"Don't Miss, Mr. Chen give me the medicine! " Inadvertently Physician Nyuk Giu divulged his secret. The woman quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

"The chen? How dare you accuse him?" Fen's normally soft voice now sounded shrieking.

"But that's reality, miss! " Whisper the physician.

"What medicine is that? "

"It's a sedative. I beg you to speak quietly to Miss Fen!"

"Why did Chen give me a sedative?" Inner Fen.

"Are there any side effects from the drug? " Fen asked with a serious mimic.

"If the dose is too much, it will cause hallucinations and partial loss of memory. "

"Quite a lot. " The physician answered, ashamed.

"So, were you serious about what you said back then? That I ever gave birth?" Fen asked what was bothering him.

"Yes, Miss Fen. In fact, in my opinion, you have not given birth for a year. "

"Alright, thank you Doctor Nyuk Giu. "

"Please don't tell Mr. Chen about this Miss. Mr. Chen can do anything, including finish off my family!" The doctor pleaded with.

"No, I'm not going to tell him. But you have to help me if I ever need it! "

"Okay, Miss Fen! "

A satisfied smile rises at the corner of Fen's natural peach-colored lips. One secret Chen has managed to uncover. He should be ready for the next step.

"I've got Mr. Liu's address. He was one of the richest people in Baiyun town. And Chen, he's Master Liu's right hand."

Prince Gaurav speaks to King Satria and Eldrige as they eat dinner. Prince Gaurav had sniffed information from the innkeeper's woman.

"Good, we're going there tonight." Answer King Satria.

"Eldrige you better stay here with my son. " The king of Satria turned towards Eldrige.

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Finally, King Satria and Prince Gaurav left the inn. Outside is still crowded, traders will not close their business premises before midnight.

They walk under the colorful lantern light. Several times they asked people for directions. After some time, they were now in front of Master Liu's residence.

The magnificent building surrounded by walls was guarded by several bodyguards. They were looking for a gap to enter the area.

"Through here! "

Prince Gaurav walks ahead. He walked around to the back of Master Liu's residence wall.

There is only a quiet road without lighting. Neighboring houses are also a little far away. With wide strides, Prince Gaurav's feet imprinted on the wall and leapt upwards. The man is now on the wall.

"Should I pull a rope? " The man looked towards King Satria with a mocking smile.

"Damn! "

King Satria immediately jumped with an agile rotation in the air, then landed on the wall with an upright body position. His posture looked admirable and envious of the man next to him.

The two then jumped down and hid in the shadows of the trees. Their nimble movements seemed to fuse with the shadows.

"The buildings are separate from the main building, likely to be occupied by Mr. Liu's confidant." Prince Gaurav's.

They were sneaking around, trying to peek inside the pavilion building. In the first pavilion, a group of men were chatting on his porch enjoying wine placed in a bottle of pumpkin.

"I'll go over there and ask them."

"Don't be crazy!" Whisper Prince Gaurav, trying to prevent it.

King Satria walked quietly and approached the drunken men. He sat down next to them and patted the shoulder of the fat man whose face was red.

"Is Mr Chen there? "

"He's gone back to his pavilion. You're the new kid? " A pungent smell of alcohol came out of his mouth.

"Where is Mr Chen's pavilion? "

"You just keep going that way. The biggest pavilion has Mr. Chen." The drunk man with the red face pointed his index finger towards the right.

"Yes, already. Thank ye. "

"Yes.. " The drunken men all answered in unison.

King Satria immediately headed in the direction that the man had pointed. Prince Gaurav followed behind.

"That's the place! " Appoint the King of Satria.

They're approaching the window. With his index finger, King Satria scooped the shoji paper and peered inside. The room is bright. Two women seem to be talking.

Soon, one of them stood up and walked out of the room. There was a woman sitting behind him. The woman sat motionless for some time.

"Tok.. "

The door opened from the outside. A young man entered the room. His handsome face looked familiar. The king tried to remember where he had seen him.

"He's a circus performer!" The inner King of Satria with rage.
