The Destiny that Hasn't Ended
CHAPTER 5 "STIRMATION"
Lin Zi woke up wide, breathing heavily.
"Am I dead?" muttered Lin Zi.
He felt his body and realized that he was still alive. There were only thin scratches on his neck.
"Miss... You're okay?" nao Yu asked to see Lin Zi regulating her breathing.
"Nao Yu, what time is it?"
"The sun has just come up, do you want to take a shower now?"
"All right"
Lin Zi took a bath and asked Nao Yu to leave her. He was soaking up while remembering what happened yesterday.
He is really cruel! His eyes were so sharp, he was scarier than an angel of death! Compared to Yuan actually the face of the grim reaper was much more handsome, only for what handsome if his nature was so terrible! Kasian is also the fate of prince Yuan..wait a minute.I shouldn't have thought of that! My purpose in coming here was to find out who my savior was, but why in this era of the kingdom? Was the psychic misdirected? Just enjoy it first. This is a kingdom, there must be many good-looking princes like Jing Yuan, hihihiiii.
Lin Zi immediately finished her bath and got dressed. After that Nao Yu helped to style her hair.
"Miss, I've prepared the food at the table"
"Food?"
Lin Zi also remembered that he had not eaten since yesterday afternoon. He hurried to sit down and eat the delicious dishes.
"Eh.. Nao Yu why are you still standing there? Come here, sit here and eat with me" Lin Zi said as she pulled the chair out from under the table.
"Hamba does not dare miss.if anyone knows, I will definitely be punished"
"That's it.. You will serve me, so I am your master. Only I can punish you!"
"Stay the servant does not dare. If the crown prince sees it..."
"Fear of the angel of death, never mind!"
"Miss, you don't call him that. He is the crown prince. Only by his command can your life be lost"
"I'm not scared! My life is almost floating too!"
"really?" suhut Xuan walked over to Lin Zi.
"Just ruin my appetite!" said Lin Zi exhaling an annoyed breath.
"Why not continue eating? These are all your favorite foods"
Xuan sat down in front of Lin Zi. Lin Zi was very upset over what happened yesterday so she thought of a way to expel Xuan from her room.
"Jing Fuan.. bufanfah fau is missingfu?" said Lin Zi while chewing and spitting out a few small pieces of food regarding Xuan's face and clothes.
"Since when did Lin Zi go crazy like this" Xuan muttered softly as he patted his eel inexhaustibly.
"Jing Fuan, fenafa diom? Come maqan here afa banyaf sefali mafanan" said Lin Zi who was still chewing and spitting out her food.
Brakkkkkk!
Xuan while standing hitting the table with his palm made Lin Zi startled and stopped chewing.
"Continue eating you, I still have business" Xuan said then held back his anger.
Xuan left behind Lin Zi who was still silent.
Fuhhhh finally left as well, hihihiiii. Uh what is that?
Lin Zi looked at a bag like a fragrance bag that Xuan had left behind. He took it and saw it. In the pouch there is embroidery a pair of mandarin ducks that symbolize loyalty. Out of curiosity he opened the bag and saw what it contained.
The hairs?
Unsatisfied he saw the sound of footsteps making him immediately close the bag and return it to its previous place. Xuan took the bag back and left without saying anything. Only his sharp gaze made Lin Zi bow.
Whose hair is it? Is it her lover's hair? A man like him can have a lover, only a foolish woman will, hihihi...
"Miss...what are you laughing at?" asked Nao Yu astonished to see Lin Zi giggling by herself.
"No no, not what.. Nao Yu, the weather is so sunny. You accompany me on the road"
"But miss, the Crown Prince yesterday advised that you reflect on your mistakes and not to leave the pavilion"
"Considering mistakes? Clearly he was wrong! Nao Yu look at this scratch on my neck"
"Your neck is not broken, the Crown Prince must be just to bluff. Ever since I became a servant here, the Crown Prince and Prince Yuan have never gotten along. Every time they meet that is discussed, it must be just a debate"
"So you wanna see my neck break?"
"No miss. I don't mean that" said Nao Yu immediately on his knees.
"Ahhh already stand up. I was just joking around" Lin Zi explained as she helped Nao Yu stand up.
Lin Zi walked out the street around the palace with Nao Yu.
"Nao Yu, in this palace there are how many Princes?" asked Lin Zi to stop her steps.
"Has the lady forgotten?"
"I actually don't remember anything since the accident. Eh... Did you know me before?"
"Before the servant served you several times every time you came to the palace to meet the Crown Prince"
"From what I have felt while serving you, you are an elegant and meek woman. You are very intelligent and able to help the Crown Prince in resolving matters. His Majesty the Emperor has even praised your intelligence"
"really?"
"You and the Crown Prince also seem to love each other. I never saw the Crown Prince being rude to you"
"But why is he so cynical about seeing me now?"
"Maybe the Crown Prince is angry at your attitude. Honestly, your nature is now much different than before"
"It looks like this Xiu Lin Zi will become an artist if in my world, become the idol of many men"
"Artist? Is that miss?"
"Ah is nothing. So how many princes are there?:
"There were 9 princes and 2 princesses. The first prince died in battle. The 2nd Prince is married to a princess from a neighboring country. The 3rd Prince is the current Crown Prince. The 4th prince lived outside the palace because he preferred adventure. The 5th Prince is Prince Yuan. The 6th prince often went to entertainment venues and was rarely in the palace. The 7th prince was often in the palace medicine hall because he liked to learn about medicine. The 8th prince was often in his residence, he loved to paint and write stories. The 9th prince usually hunts frequently. Then.. these two daughters.I heard they occupied the palace of the Queen Mother who had been empty"
"uh... Miss you sleep standing up?"
"I'm sorry, your story is so long I'm getting sleepy. Then what about the Emperor's concubine?"
"The current Emperor's Concubine is only a Tier 2 Fei Concubine. The Emperor used to have 13 concubines but they harmed each other in order to gain the Emperor's affection. Only 6 concubines managed to have sons and daughters"
"Then to the 6 concubines?"
"Hamba heard the Empress was a jealous person. One by one the concubines who endanger him will be removed. But this servant also does not know the truth because the servant also only hears from people's stories"
"Then why is Consort Fei still alive?"
"Hamba also did not know, probably because of his relationship with Consort Yan who was very close before"
"Consort Yan?"
"Concubine Yan was the Emperor's favorite concubine who was also the Mother of Prince Yuan. Because concubine Yan was often with the Emperor, so concubine Fei also got the attention of the Emperor"
"So that's how complicated life in this palace is"
"Living in this palace is indeed a lot of turmoil" said someone from behind Lin Zi.
"You are...."
"I am the 7th prince of Jing Xiu" said the man introducing himself.
"Aren't you often in the palace's medicine hall?"
Jing Xiu let out a small laugh followed by Nao Yu who tried to hold back her laughter.
"Miss Xiu, don't you see, now you're in front of the treatment hall" he explained later.
Lin Zi also saw the building behind Jing Xiu that contained many medicinal plants that were being dried.
"Hehe. I didn't notice it" muttered Lin Zi while grimacing in embarrassment.
"Looked straight out you're more beautiful than the 8th Prince ever painted"
"really?" muttered Lin Zi blushed.
"But.. Is there anything Miss Xiu came here for?"
"Ehhh about that. I was driving around and unknowingly stopped here, hehehe"
"If you'd like, I'd offer to have tea together and also treat your neck wounds so as not to wear them"
"All right!"
The two of them sat on a bench not far from the hall while enjoying a warm tea.
Jing Xiu again laughed looking at Lin Zi who drank her tea just like that, unlike the nobles in general.
"Eh why?"
"No. It's just that Miss Xiu's personality is a little unique"
"Ahhhh it was because of the previous accident.I'm sorry if it made Prince Xiu uncomfortable"
"I've heard it. And also in the future Miss Xiu can call me Xiu'er because I am 1 year younger than you. In addition, you will marry the Crown Prince so you will still be my sister-in-law"
"Like that. alright.emm Xiu'er"
Jing Xiu again made a laugh followed by Lin Zi who also felt strange with her own pronunciation.
Without realizing they were chatting for a long time, the sun was almost in the middle.
"It seems like your conversation is very pleasant" Xuan said approaching.
"Sister, join us. It turns out that brother-in-law is very funny" said Xiu who was still laughing.
"Basic! Just like jaelangkung! Came uninvited away unreservedly" muttered Lin Zi annoyed at the sight of Xuan who had always ruined her mood.
"Xiu'er, then next time we talk again huh. I'm going to use this medicine, thank you" he said, carrying a small bottle of medicine and then stood up and started walking.
"Ehh why? Big brother just came" Xiu asked in a loud tone as Lin Zi walked further and further.
Xuan immediately stood up and chased after Lin Zi.
