The Destiny that Hasn't Ended
CHAPTER 3 "THE SAME WOUND"
Xuan dropped Lin Zi on his bed.
"What happened to your clothes." You see Nao Yu Hanfu Lin Zi lived half.
"Based on a cruel angel of death! I don't want to be here anymore!"
"It looks like the accident has damaged your brain! Now stay here and reflect on your mistakes!"
"Omong empty! Your brain is broken! Where any man treats a woman like you! I don't want to see you anymore!"
Lin Zi was very upset, she walked towards the exit but Xuan's hand held her back. His hand firmly gripped Lin Zi's wrist.
"ahhh sick! Unhand me!"
Lin Zi was in pain and tried to fight Xuan. But each attack can be easily thwarted.
Every attack I can be thwarted. Is he that strong or is my ability that is becoming too weak here?
"ahhhh sick!"
"I'll let you go, but calm yourself down. We're talking good" Xuan said loosening his grip.
"Others to talk about. I don't want to talk to you" muttered Lin Zi turning her gaze towards the side.
"Don't you want to go home?"
That question made Lin Zi look at Xuan back.
"Come home?"
Going home? So I have a family? Then then.. Daddy Mom..
"Tomorrow morning I will accompany you back to your residence. But now I want you to reflect on your mistakes and don't repeat them"
"Nao Yu, change into Zi'er's clothes and let him reflect on his own mistakes"
"Alright crown prince" Nao Yu replied as he saluted Xuan who had left.
Time was approaching midnight, but Xuan was still awake in his reading room examining the ministers' reports. A man in black came and saluted.
"How's it?"
"When the servant came, all the people in Xiu's residence were killed. The servant had checked everything died from the slash of the sword. Right now I'm still investigating who did it but still haven't found any clues"
"Is this the work of Minister Wei? When I said I was going to marry Zi'er, she was the first one to refuse"
"But Minister Wei was always careful. I guess if he did it, wouldn't it be too flashy?"
"You're right. Continue your investigation, take their bodies to the investigation room"
"Good!"
The next morning Lin Zi had prepared to wait for Xuan's arrival. His patience is running out. The sun was almost in the middle but Xuan still did not come.
Xuan had just walked out of the meeting hall. His debate with the ministers had taken hours without realizing it. He immediately rushed to meet Lin Zi in the Yue pavilion.
"hmmhhh!" muttered Lin Zi looked away.
"Honor to the crown prince"
"Nao Yu come out. I want to talk to Zi'er"
"Good"
"I thought you'd forgotten!"
"Zi'er I'm sorry. I also didn't realize this morning's meeting was taking up much of my time"
"Reason! Promise me to break the promise! You know, I went alone!"
"Zi'er, everyone in Xiu's residence was killed last night, including your parents, because it was also a meeting this morning that took a lot of time to discuss" Xuan said hesitantly.
"What.. said you.." muttered Lin Zi looked at Xuan's eyes.
"Zi 'er..."
"You're lying, aren't you?"
What was? why am I crying? Is this the reaction of the owner of this body? But the pain was the same as when I lost both my parents. Is this my feeling?
"Where are their bodies"
"In the investigation room..."
Not finished Xuan spoke, Lin Zi immediately dashed out. He surrounded all the buildings looking for an investigation room. Her tears kept dripping, her worry had peaked. His steps were stopped when he found the room he was looking for. With a breath he entered the room and found 2 bodies covered in white cloth. His legs were squeezing and could not bear to support Lin Zi's body. Lin Zi fell down.
"Why.." murmured Lin Zi softly.
"Zi'er.." Xuan muttered hugging Lin Zi's body.
His breath began to grow heavy and his cries exploded. Xuan clenched him firmly and gently stroked his head.
"It's okay.cry"
"How's it?" tanya Xuan looked at the healer who was examining Lin Zi's pulse.
"It's okay, just tired. The servant will prescribe a tonic to restore his stamina"
"What about the disease?"
"Disease? But I checked his pulse there was no problem. What disease do you mean crown prince?"
"Since I brought her back, she seemed to have forgotten everything. She was also unlike the Xiu Lin Zi I knew"
"Previous Miss Xiu fell from a very high cliff. Looking at Miss Xiu now, this is a great miracle. Maybe the disease you mean is a side effect. But it doesn't affect his health so you don't have to worry"
"All right, you can go"
The doctor immediately saluted and left.
Meanwhile in Yuan Ji's pavilion, a black-clothed person was kneeling.
"Basic stupid! Why did you kill him!"
"They fought back, so we had to kill everyone"
"Didn't I order to keep them in his residence?! Why are you so reckless!"
"Even the prince.."
unfinished the man spoke, Yuan slashed his neck with his sword.
"Xiao Wan"
"Yes the prince"
"Kill everyone involved in the incident!"
"Good"
Xiao Wan was Yuan's personal bodyguard. Yuan saved him when he was a kid. From then on Xiao Wan always followed Yuan faithfully. He is also a great kung fu master.
"Zi'er, are you conscious?" tanya Xuan saw Lin Zi slowly open her eyes.
"What's going on?" muttered Lin Zi while sitting with Xuan's help.
"You fainted after you cried, take a break. Nao Yu, ask for the kitchen section to prepare the food immediately!"
"No need" Lin Zi cut.
"Zi'er, why?"
How can I eat? This sadness filled all the holes in my body. This wound is the same as I felt before. Nah! It hurts a lot more. Butwhy? They're not my real parents, but why does it hurt so much?
"Zi'er?" call Xuan saw Lin Zi bowed and kept silent.
"I want to be alone, leave me" muttered Lin Zi before she lay down and covered herself with a blanket.
"alright. Rest up. Nao Yu, make sure Zi'er eats later!"
"Good" while saluting.
Xuan returned to his residence and saw a middle-aged man wearing an Emperor robe waiting for him.
"Honor to the Emperor's Father" Xuan said immediately.
"There's no need to be too shy Xiao'er"
"Remain, Father is the Emperor of this land"
The emperor laughed a little.
"How is Lin Zi? He must have been devastated by that incident"
"True, he fainted after crying. And now he's locked himself in a room. I'll give him time to be alone"
"Then what about your marriage? Xiao'er, you need to get married. But... Lin Zi now would not give you any advantage. His family no longer exists. So...."
"I'll keep marrying her! She will be my only woman. This I've promised him before"
The Emperor laughed again at Xuan's words.
"Xiao'er. You know it's not gonna be easy. Don't forget all the ministers around you. They'll find a way to stab you in the back. Being a leader is not easy. If you were still stubborn, maybe Lin Zi would be your biggest burden on the throne. I have been Emperor since I was 15, and I have sacrificed many things. It would be hypocritical if I said it was all for the sake of this country, in fact I did it for the throne"
"Yahanda.." Xuan muttered as if in disbelief.
"Xiao'er, you are my most trusted son. My health has also been getting worse. Sooner or later you will become an Emperor who leads this country. I will always support you"
"Thank you Father, Xiao'er understands"
"Then I'll be back. Xiao'er, take good care of Lin Zi. Right now he must need you badly"
"Well the Emperor's Father" Xuan said as he saluted his father's departure.
