The Death of the Evil Empress

35. Witches from the West

He hua today ate his breakfast voraciously which astonished the 3 bowls of his former breakfast had decorated their dining table. The other two pairs of eyes saw each other paying attention but did not dare to ask. Chen long said 'Ah am I being too hard on her?' Indeed the last time practicing that time He hua became quiet and did not want to talk until 2 days he still did not want to talk every time Chen long approached him and asked him to 'talk about it' in the end He hua just stared at him without speaking.2 days also He hua's appetite increased, in contrast to most women who keep the diet to look beautiful and slim. He hua instead he constantly ate spending 3 to 4 bowls each time they ate.

How about Ling Ling obviously he knew how He hua's nature 'May mei is being upset!' that was what Ling ling would answer if Chen long was willing to ask him. Finally the breakfast was over and they rushed to help each other clean up.

4 Hours later

It appeared that a woman dressed as a man was training very hard with a man. His white skin was in stark contrast to the black clothes he wore. The sweat on her forehead dyed her pretty face and made the girl's face flushed slightly. Suddenly Chen long lowered his sword and said "Enough, rest first we continue later."

He hua said, he sat under a shady tree to rest for a while then took a pink handkerchief from under his clothes and wiped his sweat.

Not long after Chen long came to sit next to him and gave him a glass of water to He hua. "Drink!"

He hua looked at Chen long then he stretched out his hand to grab the glass to accidentally let their hands meet a little.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it" the man said sincerely.

A heavy sigh accidentally blurred from He hua's lips when he heard the man's words.

"Yes" said the girl briefly.

At least He hua was willing to respond to the man's words even if only a little.

Ling ling looked at it from a distance and recalled how he had previously told Chen long everything about what had actually happened to He hua lately.

As they were about to restart their practice they heard the sound of horse legs approaching towards them.

Physician Ji was flabbergasted to see his daughter dressed like that and wielding a sword like a trained warrior. But he removed his shocked face and replaced it with a smile.

"Dad" said He hua approaching healer Ji who was tying his horse.

Chen long stared meaningfully at He hua' He quickly accepted the master as his Father and the voice of his call was so sincerely heard.

"Daddy a long time ago." whinek He hua like a child long time no see his father.

"It's good to hear the call" joked healer Ji but the corner of his eyes piled up the tears he held back.

He hua who was aware of it tried to remove the aura of sadness by immediately pulling his father's hand and holding him into the house.

.

And right at midnight as He hua thought.

Tok.shock.

Tok.shock.

He hua had determined that anyone who always bothered him every midnight would suffer the consequences of daring to harass him. The dagger he slipped in the folds of his clothes. 'The sword in his hand would be the first weapon that the bully would feel' He hua's inner self.

Tok.shock.

"Who are you?" he hua asked loudly

The beat was no longer heard.

Actually with a deadly weapon in his hand he could have come out and slashed the man easily but he had to be vigilant in the middle of the night to disturb people. If an ordinary person couldn't possibly have the courage to disturb someone who was in the middle of a forest like this. Or maybe it was something else? Or maybe he wants to communicate without being known by his other family.

Silent

Tok.tok.tok the sound of the knock was heard again until the other voice surprised He hua.

"He hua you're talking to who's son?"

"Did you hear that too?"

"Hear what?"

"The sound of knocking on the door, someone's always bugging me at midnight."

"It is better that you sleep my son. After all it's midnight, don't think too much about the sound just assume you're not listening."

"No Dad! I'm sure there's someone behind that door." He hua insisted.

He hua looked at his father with a probing gaze feeling that something was strange like something was hidden why three people including his father had told him to ignore the sound of the knock. What's with all of them? Or they were indeed keeping something secret from He hua yet what?

Physician Ji seemed powerless to see the gaze, feeling that He hua's curiosity would not stop until he found an answer.

So Physician Ji resigned 'Maybe I can not cover it' he invited He hua to sit down and tell the last letter he received shortly before he came home.

"Actually we all didn't hear the knocking." replied the healer Ji limp

'Impossible. The sound of that knock was so loud!'

"Your mother told me that you should not open the door in the middle of the night and let foreign guests into the house. He hua had to avoid meeting with 'something else'. So's your mother's message."

"I mean the Father who is behind that door and every night bothers me.. He is not a human being?"

"Yes. Only you can see and hear."

"But why Dad?"

"Your mother she hasn't communicated with me in years but everything changed after I gave you the light flower."

Physician Ji took a deep breath and looked at the weakling of his biological child.

"In the letter he said 'tragic destiny for our son will come. You don't think long to give the flower that light'. In the next letter he said, 'Something else as a messenger is coming soon. Try He hua not to see him'. Dad felt that the messenger was something behind that door right now. That's why I rushed home and thank God you haven't opened that door."

"No, Dad, this is confusing me. What did the creature come to see me for, what message did he really want to convey and again.as long as this means that Mother knows everything that has happened to us but why has she not met us until now?" All those questions revolved around He hua's brain. He thought hard until he realized something strange about his mother's identity.

"Tell Dad, did you really find Mother after 1 year of the Sun Kingdom winning the battle with the Ming Kingdom?"

"Yes you're right, I told you everything by then, didn't I? He's a fugitive....."

"When I became Empress I was the one who signed the documents of special cases in three kingdoms one of which was the Ming Kingdom."

He hua's eyes then widened and continued his words "The demon he gave the stamp that his case was closed from the Ming Kingdom was a nameless woman they called 'The Witch of the West'."
