8 Chapter 8: Assassins Bid Goodbye (2/2)
”Oh? You even forgot your twin brother? Bring his head in!”
”Yes mistress” Fu Wen readily looked for concubine Yun's brother in the pile of fifteen heads.
”Do you see that head? If you deny it one more time I won't let you off. May the heavens strike you for deceiving the monarch and dishonoring a member of your family!”
”No, I don't know him! Your majesty this concubine is innocent, the princess is harming me!”
”You're using my brother against me? You dare? Fu Yan, bring the proof!”
Luckily, my maidservants did not stay idle and do what they can to manipulate the situation. Fu Yan handed a piece of paper to my brother. Then his face became black.
”Guards send her to the chamber of fire.”
”The show is done, brother we will be on our way. While I'm gone, guard your back okay”
”Take care of yourself sister and keep everyone safe. Tell my regards to grandfather and grandmother”
”I will” I bid everyone goodbye as I step into the carriage
Transmigrating in this world is really troublesome. I cannot even tolerate the snake faced ladies in the palace. I brought with me Fu Si, Fu Wen and Fu Yan. While we are accompanied by twenty shadow guards and ten belonging solely from Yao Army. I think they are very happy to hear that they can go home and see their families while I do business there.
While I was lost in thoughts the sound of a stomach grumbling made me snap out of it. I stared at Zetian but she is already sleeping. Then my gaze landed on the little figure who's holding his stomach.
I felt sad.
Why did they send the child here without eating?
”Xiemen right? Come to big sister and sit beside me.”
He was so scared of me that I feel like he is about to pee his pants, but he still complied and slowly sat beside me.
I prepared some water and let him drink some, to stabilize his body before he consume food.
”Are you done?”
He nodded. I opened a few baskets and reveal delicious sandwiches, I also cut some slices of chicken and observed how the child is drooling.
I sighed sadly.
”Here, eat these. If you want something tell this big sister okay. You look so skinny and this big sister will spoil you to eat so much more. Follow this big sister well and you will live lavishly.”
”Thank you big sister” he spoke as he continued munching
”Don't they feed you enough food in the palace?” I asked gently, trying not to scare the child
”No, sometimes I only eat once and sometimes they don't feed me.” He answered truthfully
”Give your hand to this big sister, I need to check if you are healthy”
He immediately gave his hand and I checked his pulse.
”Luckily they didn't poison you. From now on, you will live with me.” I patted his head lightly
