Strongest Lady's

Ch. 5-abduction

“I already know that, no need to worry.”

Weiruo fixed the cloth covering his face that was about to fall off, after which he immediately parted with the figure without any longer discussion.

Every three hours that the gatekeeper would change, Weiruo took advantage of the opportunity to enter the palace while the guards were being diverted.

“Huh, clean the legs then sleep,” Weiruo murmured after smoothly entering the pavilion.

...***...

“Nona, I brought you a drink.”

“Let's just put it there.”

A punch shot into the empty air, Weiruo gradually trained his body to be the same as in his previous life. His new body was currently so weak and had such limited energy, just a small exercise instantly made almost his entire body ache.

Weiruo stopped, then sat down and drank the water Yinyi brought.

Weiruo's gaze scanned around, not far from his residence and a vast bamboo forest, almost covering the Weiruo residence.

I don't know who had the idea of the bamboo forest, but Weiruo thanked him for his residence being closed off from outsiders.

“Later I will expand to there, then do I need to raise the wall?”

Yinyi could only smile at the new nature of Weiruo, despite serving the same person, but Yinyi did not think so. Weiruo's attitude was much different from before, as if not being the person he knew.

Meanwhile, Weiruo is now daydreaming about the words of the person who helped him yesterday.

He was aware that he was being followed, but until now Weiruo had no idea who and the destination of the person who sent them.

“My vigilance is at least not so decreased,” Weiruo murmured.

“Ah, someone came.”

“Eh? Who?” Yinyi immediately looked around, but not people.

However, not long ago Xuan Guoxin came along with a few eunuchs and servants. It seems they carry so much stuff.

“What's up, Dad?” welcome Weiruo.

Xuan Guoxin was surprised, when she came to stop by, Xuan Weiruo was so happy and greeted her with a warm smile.

But now the warm smile he recognized seemed to just disappear, even Xuan Guoxin could clearly see that Weiruo had no intention of welcoming him.

“Dad there is a little gift for you.”

“Gift?”

Xuan Guoxin showed each item the servants had brought. Fancy dresses, jewelry, shoes, and some other precious objects.

Weiruo just nodded every time his father showed him the gift he gave, although he was not interested in all these things, but Weiruo knew very well if everything had a price that was not small.

“Didn't you like all these gifts?” xuan Guoxin asked, looking at Weiruo who seemed to be less interested in every gift he gave.

“Not dislike, but I need more money than a gift like this,” explains Weiruo. “I am indeed the Princess, but very poor,” he continued, showing a look of sadness that would melt the heart of the father.

“What's your allowance less?” asked Xuan Guoxin curiously.

“Why still ask? You think a few gold coins are enough for me?” Weiruo asked back.

Xuan Guoxin was clearly shocked to hear Weiruo say, he still thought how the 500 gold coins he gave each month were not enough in Weiruo's eyes.

“Yinyi, describe.”

Yinyi simply nodded slowly before walking over. “Your Highness, the pavilion manager took some monthly money for Miss, servant was threatened to shut up,” she explained in a voice trembling with fear.

“Taking? How dare a lowly servant like him, Eunuch Qu, take this pavilion manager to the dungeon, lock him up for three days and then give him a whip sentence of a hundred times.”

“Good, Your Highness.”

Weiruo smiled in satisfaction, Xuan Guoxin was happy to see her daughter smiling again.

“What I need? Hmm .. reduce the number of guards outside, too crowded if that much, then money with a decent amount.” Weiruo gestured to his father, of course ‘lumayan’ which he meant had a slightly different meaning.

“Sure, dad will send money to you later.”

Weiruo smiled sweetly, which naturally made Xuan Guoxin happy to see his daughter's response.

“Because Daddy's business is done, please leave, I'm busy so don't want to be disturbed.”

Weiruo twisted Xuan Guoxin's body and pushed her towards the pavilion gate, asking her to leave because she had to practice.

“Alright, if you need something just tell dad.”

“Sure.”

Weiruo waved his hand to usher in the father's departure with the group of servants he was carrying. After they left, Weiruo returned to the courtyard to practice.

...***...

Nightfall, the atmosphere around the Black Orchid Pavilion became so quiet because of the reduced number of bodyguards, even so around the gate there were still 4 bodyguards standing guard.

Xuan Guoxin complied with Weiruo's request to reduce the number of bodyguards around his residence, but the man certainly could not bear to let his daughter's guard down so low that it increased the number of bodyguards at the south gate.

“Cih, troublesome,” grumble Weiruo.

Although access at the south gate was limited, Weiruo certainly had other ways to go, climbing the wall of course.

Because Weiruo's body is now a little trained, climbing the wall becomes a difficult thing to do.

“Tonight was a little cooler,” murmured while rubbing his palms slowly.

The streets of the capital now look deserted, probably because the temperature is so cold that people are reducing activities outside the house.

Weiruo stared at the star-studded night sky, occasionally rubbing his hands to feel a little warm.

Suddenly something nudged his body, spontaneously Weiruo turned around and stepped back.

“Horse?”

A white horse with jet-black eyes stood before him. The horse walked up to Weiruo, as if so curious about the girl.

“Ow, whose horse is this?” Weiruo pulled the horse rope.

It seems that the horse is not a wild horse because it has a bridle on its head.

The two walked on the lonely snowy streets, occasionally the horse rubbed its head against Weiruo's body.

“What? Want kunaiki?” weiruo's chirps of being annoyed were constantly interrupted.

Weiruo gave a small smile before setting his foot onto the boulder and riding onto the back of the white horse.

“Come enjoy this short night.” Weiruo patted the horse's head slowly before prompting him to leave the place.

A cold night wind dashed onto Weiruo's face, a faint smile appearing on her pretty clean face.

he pulled the reins slowly and quickly the white horse reduced his running speed.

“Baise, how about you come home with me?” he said before chuckling softly.

Weiruo went down and stroked Baise's head slowly. The name of the horse just appeared so that Weiruo immediately called him that.

Suddenly Weiruo felt something stab at his neck, he spontaneously felt it and found a silver needle hitting his neck.

Immediately he stood by and looked around. Weiruo was sure that the one who attacked him was not the one who used to follow him all along, as he spurred the horses quickly and passed through a small alley so that they could not keep up.

Weiruo's gaze slowly blurred and his body lost its balance. However, it could still stand thanks to Baise's existence.

A black shadow emerged from behind the shadow and dashed towards Weiruo, Baise who was panicking lost control and accidentally pushed Weiruo's body down.

Shortly after Weiruo's gaze fell completely black and he lost consciousness.
