My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 23

I don't know why my heart is beating so fast, either because I'm fascinated with big brother Feng or because I didn't expect crown prince Liang to tell and boast about my changes to his best friend. There was a feeling of pleasure that I felt if it was true that crown prince Liang had also told me about his best friend, I thought that if the contents of his head and heart were still filled with Ma Xiao Qing, my greatest enemy.

"Bo Qing and Ah Ke's colors are ready, how about we just start" said crown prince Liang who jolted me from the daydream.

I turned to look at Bo Qing for a moment, and the bodyguard smiled and said, "the princess doesn't have to worry" she said, trying to calm me down, who is now back in fear and worry.

I nodded while strengthening my heart and mind, trying to trust Bo Qing however my personal bodyguard needed support. If I continue to display the anxiety and worry I feel, it will make Bo Qing think and his concentration break.

"You have to win, however, you carry my name in this match" I said, directly influenced by Bo Qing

Bo Qing and Ah Ke started walking towards the middle of the courtyard of Guang Bai's main building which was the headquarters of the warrior Shi Rong. The 2-story Guang Bai to me was some sort of court office, then the two-story building larger than Guang Bai located on its right side was the room of the Shi Rong warriors. The one-story building on his left side was a kitchen, and there was a horse stable behind Guang Bai as well as a vegetable and fruit garden, and there were also rice and wheat fields. Not far from Guang Bai there are waterfalls and rivers that drain the water as a source of their springs. The warrior hideout headquarters of Shi Rong was truly like a prosperous hidden village.

The boisterous sounds of the spectators surrounding Bo Qing and Ah Ke caught my attention. I've been daydreaming too much because I've had too many thoughts. But now I have to focus on watching their fight, however I don't want to miss their fight. Moreover, as a supporter of Bo Qing - the only one, as well as his master, I have to capture the moment of his battle that will certainly be very exciting.

My heart was pounding fast as Bo Qing and Ah Ke bowed while paying their respects before the two took their horses. The two of them turned around before Ah Ke attacked Bo Qing with a quick movement, Bo Qing who was unprepared with Ah Ke's movements then got punched in the face and stomach. I grimaced as I looked at the corner of the lips from the terrace of the Guang Bai building where I was.

Bo Qing spat out blood, he then wiped the corner of his lips that were flowing fresh blood. His gaze began to look serious even though he was still very slow and easy to read movements by Ah Ke who was relentlessly attacking Bo Qing with all his might.

**buk!

Buk up!

Buk**!

The sound of punches and moans escaping from Bo Qing's mouth left me instantly closed, I couldn't imagine how much pain and pain my bodyguards felt. Moreover Ah Ke attacked him with full force.

"So this is Bo Qing's ability, strength, talent and skill that you built, may May?" asked the crown prince Liang who had been out of nowhere since when had stood by his side

I turned my head for a moment before turning back to throw my gaze forward and said "Gege doesn't know, for Bo Qing this is just a warm-up" I said that somehow remembering the words of Bo Qing who said he needed a stimulus, his body would respond only if he was pressed or his life was in danger.

I know it won't be easy to believe Bo Qing's words, but if I don't trust my own subordinates, her confidence will decrease. And what I saw from the radiance of Bo Qing's eyes, there was disappointment and sadness that was very clear. Perhaps because the audience was dominated by the cries of Ah Ke supporters, so Bo Qing's confidence was thinning.

I then pulled the crown prince Liang, I forced him to follow me and join the crowd. The crowd of special soldiers Shi Rong who were watching and realizing the presence of the two of us then paved the way, not forgetting they gave a respectful greeting which I replied with a smile and a nod.

When we arrived at the front row, crown prince Liang looked at me and said, "May, what's wrong with you? Why did you pull me here?" ask her in a slightly annoyed tone.

"I just want to watch the match of my personal bodyguard clearly" I replied then turned my head and looked up at crown prince Liang where the current two gazes we met. I then smiled and seriously said "Also want to show gege how Bo Qing defeated your best warrior" I added which made crown prince Liang smile on his side.

"It's exciting!" muttered crown prince Liang "Unfortunately may may may be disappointed with the end result" added crown prince Liang

"We'll see who will be disappointed in the end" I threw a glance at the two young men who were fighting each other.

While we were busy watching the match, it seemed that Bo Qing and Ah Ke were having a conversation on their fight.

"I'm very disappointed. I think big brother Bo Qing is a strong person, it seems that big brother Bo Qing's strength, skills and talents are nothing more than what I imagined" the word Ah Ke gave Bo Qing a kick on the face of Bo Qing who had been battered, but was flabbergasted by Bo Qing by blocking the kick with both hands that he crossed.

"I haven't reached the end yet, don't be so proud!" bo Qing's reply that made Ah Ke scorn "Stop talking, even your abilities don't come to even low-class soldiers, your skills are nothing more than an amateur. And I'm sick of wasting my time with you!" furious Ah Ke moved quickly giving punches and punched kicks to Bo Qing. Bo Qing who was able to withstand it however, did not expect him to tell reproach and finally.

Bo Qing was thrown away after getting a hard blow from Ah Ke. His body flew before it crashed heavily into the grass. I was quite surprised to see that, and I spontaneously cried out to my personal bodyguard's name.

"Bo Qing!"

I ran to him. I saw Bo Qing's body tremble probably because of the pain she felt as well as the pain that was running through her. I squatted down in front of him, then started crying at Bo Qing's scarred condition.

"Boo.. Bo Qi's..Qing" I said a mouthful.

Bo Qing then smiled with a sigh that seemed to break up, before long he spat out a mouthful of blood and rose with difficulty.

"No need to force yourself, your condition is like this" I said withholding it.

"Did you not trust me?" ask me

I shook my head and wiped my tears, I said "I trust you so much" I said seriously

"If you believe me, you just have to wait. It won't be long" he said stepping up leaving me still crouching on the spot. No sooner did I hear the fanfare getting hotter...

**buk!

Buk up!

Buk**!

The sound of a punch so loud and loud filled my hearing, no matter how long one's body floated and fell not far in front of me. And the sound of objects hitting the surface of the grass made a strong loud noise.

Brak!

My eyes widened when I saw the figure that had just fallen and hit the opening of the grass violently with a battered and unconscious body was Ah Ke. I then looked back where Bo Qing gave a smile and shouted "Your majesty, this bodyguard of yours won" he said before falling unconscious.
