My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 22

"You sure you can win?" ask me for the umpteenth time when we have been at the special forces headquarters of Shi Rong which is inside the eastern hill cave. At first neither I nor Bo Qing thought that in the cave there would only be a large room that was dark and stuffy. But all the shadows we imagined were wiped out as we passed through a fairly deep and long cave as it passed through the bright light and pastures was the first thing we saw greeting our two eyeballs.

For a moment I felt tabjuk with Shi Rong's special warrior sanctuary, in addition, the training headquarters building which stands on a stretch of green grass surrounded by green and yellow bamboo trees gives me the impression that this place is almost the same as a village. But my tabjuk protests did not last long, given that our goal here is to test Bo Qing's abilities. The worry I felt could never escape my thoughts, unceasingly I always asked Bo Qing the same question as the one I just asked.

"Your highness, this bodyguard might not be able to win. But you need to know, I will not give up" Bo Qing said, "Maybe you will be surprised, but this bodyguard will get stronger when the whole body of this bodyguard feels sick or injured" it was the one that made me stumble

"You mean your body needs stimulation first before it fights back?" much

Honestly hearing Bo Qing's words clearly shocked me greatly, no matter how someone who got hit even a wound would obviously lack the energy to fight back. But why did Bo Qing say he needed to feel pain first before the sparks to retaliate and fight the smoldering. I do not know that fact, in my memory he is a great soldier with a myriad of achievements when he participated in the war that occurred. Besides, he is a loyal person. His loyalty was evident when the emperor's father asked his troops to retreat and surrender, at that time, Bo Qing was so hard-willed against the young general Wu Cheng who was carrying out a rebellion with the help of the support of the family of the prime minister Wu and the family of the prime minister Ma, as well as the families of ministers and other officials who are not much. Only because I became a sandra did the foundation of Zhang's defense and royal power become shaky and weak.

"It can be said like that noble princess" replied Bo Qing who jolted me from daydreaming.

I then blinked for a while before responding to the words of Bo Qing who was now preparing to nod - nodding his head as a sign that I understood his words.

"My strength will only come out when my brain gives a warning if I am threatened in danger, and then this bodyguard will only rise up and respond to the attack with all his might" Bo Qing added

Although Bo Qing explained all the facts that I did not know, still the feelings of anxiety, worry and fear that I felt never disappeared. Maybe because Bo Qing's explanation hasn't convinced me especially since I woke up from a nightmare or since I woke up from death and returned to my 14th year of age which is a big question, or because of the figure of Ah Ke who has great strength, ability, expertise, talent and skills so I worry about Bo Qing who just today officially became my personal bodyguard.

I had never seen Ah Ke, nor how strong the young man was. But in my memory crown prince Liang often mention his name and even praise the development of each practice. I know that crown prince Liang is a pretty serious person, he would only praise someone if indeed that person is worthy of praise, he would like someone if that person was attractive to him, he said, it is always hard to forget the important things. One example is that he still has not forgotten the eldest daughter of the Ma family, Ma Xiao Qing.

"May May, introduce this is Ah Ke. He who will fight Bo Qing and beside Ah Ke is Gui Feng my right hand" said crown prince Liang who jolted me from the daydream

I blinked again a second time, then looked at crown prince Liang with a questioning look. Because after all I was too late with my thoughts, to not hear the words of the crown prince Liang clearly. Crown Prince Liang who realized my words then sighed before re-introducing the two young men who had come with him out of nowhere.

"It's Ah Ke-said crown prince Liang introducing the young man beside his left who was going to fight with Bo Qing in a moment. The young man named Ah Ke appeared to be 20 years old, at first he had made me shocked to not believe that he was a special soldier Shi Rong. Because her skin was too white among the other Shi Rong soldiers who were flat-skinned brown - Mei may need not be surprised, though, from the past the color of his skin like this even though he was exposed or basking in the sun even though" added crown prince Liang who seemed to read my mind

"It's an honor to be acquainted and shake hands with your highness princess Mu Lan" said Ah Ke who I replied with a smile and said "it's also an honor for me to meet in person with Shi Rong's best soldier"

After shaking hands with Ah Ke who was now turning to Bo Qing who had just finished introducing the crown prince to her, she, I then shook hands with the right hand of crown prince Liang who as I remember is also his best friend "You have grown more beautiful" he said which made me raise one eyebrow confused by his words "I have always seen and observed you from a distance, even because of the order of the crown prince Liang. Servant has known you for a long time, even though you only know this lowly servant" he explained, which made me nod and say "thank you for the generosity of big brother Feng who has always protected and observed this weak girl" I replied

"Feng was the one who saved you before I came to your aid when you fell" added crown prince Liang who surprised me.

I took off the link of our hands that were still shaking hands, I bowed 90 degrees and thanked him for his help the other day sincerely. Gui Feng asked me to get up, he then chuckled and turned to look at crown prince Liang for a moment before turning his gaze back to me and saying "The last time I observed and monitored your highness princess Mu Lan while saving you while falling, because at the end of the day I was busy, I didn't think you'd changed much since that incident. Crown Prince Liang's words turned out to be true, you've changed a lot" he said who somehow made my heart pound

The deg!
