Chapter 22

With great difficulty Shen Ling stood up and walked towards the horse carriage, the sound of A Li running while crying, apparently she continued to search for where the lady was going. A Li cried seeing the state of her miss then swept her towards the horse carriage. There the fourth and fifth princes had gathered, they were protecting the safety of the empress and the concubines.

Shen Ling then had A Li take the bleeding stop pill that she had stored inside her bag. After taking the white pill Shen Ling gulped down her blood stream and leaned against the carriage.

From a distance came the cry of Xuan Ye calling Shen Ling's name. The scream was terrifying, filled with anger and hatred. Shen Ling closed her eyes waiting for Xuan Ye's arrival along with her anger.

Xuan Ye gripped Shen Ling's arm and shouted at her, "Why did you push her down the abyss? Whyyy?! If you can hold that criminal for one minute until I come, Huang Ro will be safe." The emotional Xuan Ye shook Shen Ling's body and pushed her down.

The fourth prince came to help Shen Ling stand up then Shen Ling defended herself, "I was unintentionally, really I was unintentionally, I had already warned her not to run towards the cliff, but he won't listen to me."

Xuan Ye's hand was about to hit Shen Ling but he held her back, "I know you deliberately let Huang Ro be kidnapped?! In this way your rival to occupy the position of Crown Princess no longer exists. Rightly so? answer me!! Don't you just shut up!! Say something."

Xuan She pulled Shen Ling away, she was unable to let her Big Brother get frustrated and hurt Shen Ling even more. Shen Ling's gaze was blank, she had not expected Xuan Ye to say so painfully to her, then Shen Ling spewed out fresh blood and fell unconscious.

The empress immediately ordered everyone to return to the palace.

After his arrival at the palace, the Emperor was surprised to get the news, the atmosphere of the palace was so chaotic, The queen mother continued to lament the fate of Huang Ro while the crown prince insisted to go out of the palace looking for Huang Ro. The emperor prevented Xuan Ye from exiting the palace during an emotion, he told the soldiers to restrain him. Xuan Ye continued to rebel and shout, he was extremely frustrated with Huang Ro's fate, until finally the empress approached Xuan Ye and slapped him loudly, "Silence!! listen to your father Xuan Ye. Don't you realize that when you're looking for something with emotion it won't find a way out."

Xuan Ye was speechless, the first time in his life the empress mother until the heart hit him. Xuan Ye finally felt that his Mother's words were the truth, she should not be emotional when her enemies attacked in preparation.

After Xuan Ye calmed down, the empress continued, "Wash your face, and cool your head, after your emotions subside meet your father and some of the chief bodyguards. Plan the plan well. Right now your sister has already spread Huang Ro's paintings in every corner of the capital."

Xuan Ye nodded, "Alright mother"

After a moment of silence, the empress continued, "Look for Shen Ling, at least she tried to save Huang Ro."

Xuan Ye smiled bitterly, he had not been able to forgive Shen Ling.

Xuan Ye did not say any words and went towards Plum's palace.

From a distance he heard the voice of A Li who kept calling his missus, seeming healers busy treating him.

As a servant walked out of Shen Ling's room, Xuan Ye blocked her "What is Miss Shen's condition?"

After hearing the servant's explanation, there was a hint of relief in Xuan Ye's heart, but it was somehow hard to forgive the girl. The Empress Mother had already said that Shen Ling was dead - dead protecting Huang Ro. The still frustrated Xuan Ye could not accept the fact that Huang Ro had disappeared, finally Xuan Ye decided to go to his own room, he had not been able to see Shen Ling for now.

Elsewhere, Huang Ro's consciousness began to recover, when he opened his eyes, his hands had been tied and he looked around the room he was in. This room was full of wood, and his body was tossed, Huang Ro realized that he was on a ship, with a free mouth he shouted, "Is there anyone? Help me." Help me."

A few moments later a young servant brought him some water, and he shouted "The Princess has come to her senses, the Princess is conscious."

Hok Ben and his henchmen met Princess Huang Ro.

The frightened Huang Ro shouted and retreated to the wall, "who are you? Don't you guys know who I am? You guys tired of living?"

Hok Ben and his followers all knelt down, "Honor Your Majesty Princess Tian Yu, longevity always."

Huang Ro was surprised by their behavior, "You're all crazy! Not sane! My name is Huang Ro! Huang Ro's! I don't know who Tian Yu is."

Hok Ben laughed softly, "Mr Princess isn't there a moon-shaped birthmark on the left shoulder? You are the last descendant of the Tang dynasty. If the Princess is willing to acknowledge your destiny, we can overthrow the current empire and obtain the glory of the Tang dynasty as before." Hok Ben's laughter grew louder, Huang Ro was terrified.

"Take me off! Let me go! You're all insane!"

Hok Ben again smiled horribly, "Please Lord Princess think well. If the Princess is willing to cooperate with us, then the Princess may ascend to the throne as empress and the whole country is at your feet. But if the Princess still wants to run away from here, please, we are currently above the sea. O yes one more thing, that little servant named A Du, he will serve you all the time here. Think about it - well Princess Tian yu."

Hok Ben left Huang Ro bound.

'There's no point in me crying, I have to get out of here. Wait, the guy said I have a birthmark on my left shoulder? Does he mean the scar on my left shoulder? If they find out that I am not Princess Tian Yu they will definitely kill me.'

Then he spoke to A Du, "Hey you're called A Du? Can you get me that drinking water, please? I'm so thirsty."

A Du immediately took it, then Huang Ro asked for their whereabouts and A Du explained that they were at sea to the headquarters of the lord of Hok Ben.

Huang Ro thought that currently fighting him was the same as looking for trouble. He would approve of this man and look for the right moment to escape.
