11 The careless whisper. . (2/2)
As the arrows swooped fast where she stood, she just realized that it comes from the woods. She managed to grab one of the assassin and forget her own safety.
Luckily Mr. Xin pushed her at the back and the blind arrows hit the top knot of her hair. .and one slightly scratch her right shoulder. Her hair went loose revelling her real identity before she fell into the ground.
Most of them gasp in awe. .who would have known she was actually a girl?
Mr. Xin guardsmen went to search the woods. She sat down on the ground, her vision was starting to become unclear. .she tried hard to press her shoulder but the cut was barely open.
The more the wound were smaller the more its dangerous. She had to cut her flesh open so atleast the blood will drip. ”Im poison. .
She was sweating, she felt that her body is burning inside but she's freezing outside.”I need a knife. .” She could barely speak as she felt her body begun to numb.
”Give her a knife!” Mr. Xin commanded them, there is a trace of panic in his voice.” Call the doctor!”
But no doctor can attained her, he was also wounded. When the guardsmen give her the knife she cut her flesh open. .though her body becomes numb but its not enough to numb her senses, the pain she felt was still unbearable. .
she wanted to scream but only groaned cames out from her mouth. .
”Tell me what I can do for you. .
She heard him asked. Through her delirious state she smiled and said. .
”Marry me to one of your son. .
she whisper.
Mr. Xin suddenly froze unable to speak a words out of his shocked. But as he asked her and so to speak, a gentleman's words is always unbroken. .
”Your wish is my command!”
He said, looking at the girl as if he was just looking to her late sister.
Present. . .
She open her eyes and look arround ”What happened?” she realized that she passed out.
”you're awake now?”
She nodded but when she realized who she is talking, she suddenly stood up and greet him.
”Greetings huángshang!”
”No need for such formalities. .we are families after all. .you are still my niece and beside I awe you big time”
”Im sorry I did not recognized you from before. .
”Did you remember now?” His voice suddenly becomes serious.” By chance did you remember why you got an accident?”
His Majesty's question gives her a little shiver. .she did not realized that she step back a little, she holds Xin'er hands tightly. She shook her head while looking on her foot. .
She had to lie otherwise His Majesty will surely put her elder sister's life at stake. .she's still alive and thats what matter most, her sister will have her own karma in the future and she's going to make sure of it.
His Majesty realized that she had the same mannerism with her late mother in terms of lying. .and not only with her late mother but also with the Crown Prince. .its like looking at the three of them standing infront of him while telling their lies under his nose. .
