Alstroemeria | Flower Goddess Lily
Suspicious

The sun had not yet fully risen, but there was already someone knocking on my door many times. Surprisingly, I did not recognize this voice because it sounded foreign.

"Please come in" I said as I sat staring at my door. I immediately glared and was shocked when I saw the Emperor's personal bodyguard being in the sky valley this early, even meeting me personally like this.

I immediately stood up and approached her "What's wrong? Sorry I just woke up."

"Can Miss come out for a minute? The Emperor is waiting for Miss in the front yard."

I was really panicked when I heard her saying "Ta-But I haven't had a bath yet" I said while looking at her confusedly. The personal bodyguard of the Emperor clucked and immediately withdrew my hand, in order for me to see the Emperor immediately.

"Emperor..." The words of the personal guard scattered the Emperor's daydream in the courtyard of the house and the Emperor told me to sit down.

The Emperor smiled at me, then he gave me a box that lay right in front of me this time "Gift for you. Oh yes, I have a little question Zhang Li. Can I ask you a question?" The Emperor asked me very kindly.

"Of course, may the Emperor. I will answer all the questions of the Emperor honestly, without any lies!"

How could I not allow the Emperor to ask? It was the same, I was looking for my death.

"Do you like the first prince?" Ask Emperor.

My chest hurt again, but this time it didn't hurt much. Just hope that I can withstand all this "I like the first, second, third Prince, Tian Yi, and Song Lan."

"Oh so it seems, what about love? Do you love the first Prince?" The Emperor's question really confused me.

Why is this kid so innocent? Is he pretending in front of me? Love and liking are not the same?

Ah I'm so confused...

After being silent for quite a while, I decided to tell the Emperor honestly "I don't know the Emperor. What's more about love because honestly, no one tells me how it looks or looks like love."

I saw the expression of the Emperor's personal guard laughing softly, but the Emperor immediately glanced at him and instantly he fell silent like a rock.

"Love has no form, but you can feel it slowly with your heart. For example, when the first Prince is not with you, you will feel like you miss him a lot. Even you will feel sad, if you do not see it long enough and vice versa the first Prince will also feel that way. Do you understand that?" Asked the Emperor with a serious look and investigated, that I really understood or not with his words.

"Ah apparently such love, Thank you Emperor for his guidance. I think I've felt that way, especially when the first Prince gets angry, he really sucks the Emperor."

The Emperor immediately coughed at my words and the Emperor's personal bodyguard again laughed at me as well, but he held back from being caught by the Emperor.

Did I make another mistake? Hopefully not wrong!

"Well, I came back first and don't tell anyone if you meet me here today. Understood?" Ask Emperor.

"Understand the Emperor," I said as I stood driving him to the threshold of the sky valley house. After which, the Emperor and his personal bodyguards instantly disappeared from before me.

I looked at this sizable box while guessing what the contents of the gift the Emperor gave me, looking quite strange as this box was wrapped around a very neat cloth. I just opened this box and when it opened there were a lot of gold pieces, but was this real? I remember the time Song Lan bit the gold pieces to ensure the authenticity of the gold.

Back then, Song Lan obtained the gold pieces because she won a bet from the second Prince. I tried to follow Song Lan's way alone and when bitten, it really made my teeth feel pain because it was so hard "This is real gold?" I murmured slowly and asked myself.

My teeth still hurt after biting them, but it doesn't matter. The most important thing, I can shop as much in the mortal world when I have school holidays.

The first prince awoke from being distracted by Xai's voice that kept calling out to him many times. As he became fully aware Xai began to help the first Prince make his bed "Emperor and his personal bodyguard, now in the house's courtyard."

"It looks like you just woke up. Sit down, today I want to have breakfast with my son."

The first Prince only nodded slowly then sat face to face with the Emperor, while their personal Guards were busy preparing food for the Emperor's and the First Prince's breakfast while being assisted by the chosen servants "This is a dress to meet the great family of the Bird Goddess. Have you thought about it? You sure my son?" Ask Emperor.

I forced myself to smile at Father "Can I go back, when it's halfway through? Moreover, Mother is already stubborn like this, I'm just trying not to create any problems that are bad for your sky realm."

"So you're sure?" Ask the Emperor to confirm his son's decision.

The first prince nodded then poured tea for his father "Hopefully, the star prophecy changed when I was about to marry the Bird Goddess. Never mind, let's just eat Dad. Don't think about our matchmaking Dad, everything's gonna be okay."

"Well, I assume you're mature and wise in your decision-making for your future."

Would I rather talk about it yesterday to Dad? It's possible that Dad knew something and I got a clue related to the Great Flower Goddess's words about Mother.

"Dad. To be honest, I still have questions regarding Mother because there is something new that I know about Rou Yi. Do you know this little girl?" Ask the first prince.

"Nirvana blue fire guard? What's wrong with her?" The Emperor asked while chewing his food.

Today's food menu is all soupy cuisine, so why do you like soupy food. Like soup with different contents, there is chicken, cow, and vegetables are still fresh green.

"Do you know the background of this girl or her past?"

My question, made Dad frown and pause for a moment "Remememember Dad. All his family killed, he was taken by the God of the sky realm to guard the flames of nirvana while waiting for his Master to come."

The story that Rou Yi told with Dad's words was really the same, meaning he didn't lie to all of us yesterday.

"Do you know who killed his family?" Ask the first prince.

"Can you tell me directly, my son? It's early in the morning, why are you playing guessing with me?"

The first prince scratched his head while smiling embarrassedly, he took a breath and told him everything from the beginning, but he did not tell Zhang Li's background relating to the Natural Goddess of Flowers as this matter was still unclear.

"Please! How could he speak so inappropriately? It was the same as insulting the Empress Emperor in the sky realm."

"He was so scared, when he first saw me entering the courtyard of Father's sky valley, that he was constantly staring at me with reason, I am a descendant of Mother."

"really?" Asked the Emperor who instantly muffled his anger, upon hearing the First Prince's explanation.

"Did you not feel suspicious? Perhaps, this could have been related to the murder of the holy woman that the Great Flower Goddess said when forbidding me from involving Zhang Li in matters of the sky realm."

"Did Zhang Er forbid you? You're not lying my son? This is very suspicious from the beginning, but I have no evidence at this time, I will definitely investigate until it is clear. Just gather all the information you know about my son, lest your mother know about this because the girl's life will be in danger."

Did Dad know? That Zhang Li was the child of the Natural Goddess of Flowers?

Why did you know that you were going to kill him?

"All right, Dad."

We ate together while chatting about what kind of meeting, what I would discuss and do...
