Strongest Lady's
Ch. 93-The End of War III
A little girl walked in annoyance behind a long-bearded old man in front of her. In his arms a bird with golden red feathers could only fall silent not daring to rebel in the slightest.
“Shulong, why are you acting like this?” ask her with a annoyed tone.
Asked not to answer, the old man instead sped up his footsteps without caring about Laohua's growl.
Laohua swept her lips and tailed behind Shulong. He was upset and angry, wanting to kick the old man's ass and run from him. However, not once did Laohua try to escape and end up being dragged back by Shulong.
They had been traveling for quite a while, Laohua was so curious about Weiruo's news now.
“Um?”
The girl's steps stopped. The voices of some men had caught his attention. His eyes glanced towards Shulong leaving, already far enough away. The little girl finally quietly approached and stole what the men were talking about.
“True, he died while avenging his loyal servant!”
“Princess Xuan Weiruo's ... in recent times has gotten even crazier! I never thought it would end like that.”
“Already, let's spend our drinks–”
“Goods!”
“Ah–astaga! Whose son is this?”
Laohua looked at the three closely. There were no signs if they were bad people, the girl then asked about what they were talking about earlier.
The three looked at each other in confusion before finally telling Laohua about the news of the death of Imperial Crown Princess Xifeng that had recently spread.
Laohua froze silently, not wanting to hear any further, he just ran towards Shulong leaving.
“Shulong! Shulong! Stop!” call him.
Shulong exhaled a lazy breath before turning around.
“What's up?” he asked, with his voice so distinctive.
Laohua did not reply, he pulled up Shulong's clothing sleeve and led her into a quiet alley to speak.
“What's up? Little tiger, quickly say!” his orders in a hostile tone of voice.
“Do you already know the news that the townspeople are talking about?” ask Laohua.
“What do you mean?”
“Nona ... has died in a war. War between Dragon Claw Sect and Blood Sea Sect.” Laohua looked at Shulong full of anger. “It was the moment where you took me!” he almost screamed in anger.
“What? Princess is dead?” Shulong asked.
“YA, HE DIED BECAUSE OF YOU! IF ONLY YOU HADN'T BROUGHT ME ... IF ONLY YOU HAD NOT OBEYED YOUR UNCLEAR EGO..” Laohua could not say further.
Laohua clenched his hands tightly, his eyes glazed over, before long he cried.
“I acted like this for the good of all of us!”
“I DON'T CARE! I JUST WANT MISS AS MY MASTER! ONLY MISS! HE'S MY HOME!” laohua cried out in despair.
“You murderer! You killed my lord .. the fate of this sacred beast .. I'd rather die if Miss ends up like this..”.
Shulong could not say anything, he just stood there, looking at Laohua and Chie who were in grief.
...***...
The news of the Crown Princess' death must have shocked the entire capital.
Then the news of the queen's heartache also became everyone's talk.
Their famous empress was so calm and full of authority that she unexpectedly cried out against her own daughter's body, even threatening suicide if her daughter was buried in the royal family's meal.
It certainly made Xuan Riuyi's position shifted so that the position of empress was temporarily replaced by Lai Lixue, the first concubine.
If Xuan Riuyi still behaved so, it was possible that her position as empress would soon fall and be replaced by the first concubine.
That night, in the Black Orchid Pavilion, muttering sounds continued to be heard from Weiruo's room.
The woman lay on the bed and continued to mutter calling her daughter's name.
He would never accept the fact of Weiruo's death, however much evidence he would not accept it.
“Aibi..,” call Da Feng slowly.
“Nak Da Feng..
Da Feng walked over with some food that was still warm.
His eyes looked at Xuan Riuyi guiltily.
The usually smiling woman was now lying weak. His eyes were blank with no desire to live, his lips were dry, constantly calling out the name of the child.
“Aibi, drink this, Aunty must be thirsty.”
The woman immediately accepted without a second thought, after a slow puff she drank the tea until it ran out.
“Nak ... let's look for Ruo'er!” bring him.
“We will do it later.”
“Later? When .... the..”.
The woman lost consciousness, Da Feng immediately restrained her body, then laid Xuan Riuyi down.
“After I calm down.”
...***...
Guazi sat quietly on a large rock in the front yard of the training ground.
His tiger tail swung to the right and left slowly. The young man daydreamed for quite a while under the shade of a shady tree behind him.
His ears moved slightly, the young man immediately came down and went to the front gate.
“Mr Yu ... Mr. Da Feng does not want anyone to enter this place for a while,” he said.
“What? I am Miss Ruo's subordinate, how can I be barred from entering?” Yu Shuyan stroked his long beard in annoyance, but he also did not dare to step inside.
“Guazi, let Mr. Yu in,” Da Feng's voice sounded from a distance.
Guazi turned around, realizing Da Feng was walking towards them.
“Good, Mr. Yu, please.” Guazi immediately removed himself from Yu Shuyan's presence.
The old man walked over to Da Feng. The two spoke a few sentences before deciding to go inside.
“You intend to nail him here?” asked Yu Shuyan.
“True. The Empress completely rejected the existence of the body. Rather than taking such a high risk, it is better like this,” Da Feng replied resignedly.
A slightly difficult decision. If the townspeople find out this will certainly damage the name of the royal family. However, if he forced the burial of Weiruo's body in the royal family's tomb would certainly make Xuan Riuyi crazy and not impossible to commit suicide.
“Hm?”
Da Feng got up from his place, he opened the window and looked at the entrance gate.
A middle-aged man stood there, alone without a single companion.
Guazi. As Da Feng said, no one should step in without his permission.
Da Feng recognized that figure, Fu Cheng.
The young man could not speak anymore, he went down, then approached Fu Cheng who was standing firmly in front of the gate.
“Senior–”
“Please accept my apology!”
Fu Cheng prostrated himself before all of them.
Da Feng was startled, hurriedly raising Fu Cheng's body to stand up immediately.
“Senior ... It's not your fault–”
“NO! ALL THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF ME! IF ONLY I HAD NOT INVITED MISS RUO TO MY SECT..”.
Fu Cheng was sitting limp, his eyes glazed over. As much as Da Feng said if it was not his fault, Fu Cheng still kept thinking about it, for days he did not sleep because it was haunted by his guilt.
“Bring me ... Take me to the Emperor and Empress!”
Fu Cheng clasped Da Feng's arm begging him. He was too afraid to meet the emperor and empress, that guilt had made his courage disappear just like that.
Da Feng nodded without speaking. After calming down, they immediately went to the palace.
Their arrival was quite electrifying throughout the palace, only this time they saw firsthand the famous figure of Fu Cheng so strong.
Fu Cheng came with the intention of apologizing, he was well received.
The figure known to be so terrible that was now prostrating before Xuan Riuyi and the husband, he refused to rise until the two accepted one thing that was not mentioned by him.
“Alright, Mr. Swordsman Fu, we will accept it, please get up soon,” Xuan Riuyi said softly.
Hearing the woman's voice made Fu Cheng even more unable to get up.
If he was in Xuan Guoxin's position, he might be furious and beat up the figure who was now prostrating before him. However, Xuan Guoxin looked calm, although the look in her eyes showed deep sadness.
In the end he got up and went back to apologizing.
“Then, the thing I will give you...”.
