The Dragon's Bride
12. Chaos in the Royal Library

Eunuch Li walked slowly and regularly. It is so beautiful to look like a woman.

Her goose feather fan was elegantly girded on her left arm.

Behind him were four eunuch maids who followed in his footsteps.

Everything quiet. None of them are allowed to speak.

The corner of Eunuch Li's lips was slightly pulled upwards. A thin smile adorned his face. That's the expression he always has to show. Under any circumstances.

Did he never have face cramps!? inner Aran every time he met the middle-aged man.

Eunuch Li stopped his feet in front of the door of the royal library.

With a thin smile that was each on its back, Eunuch Li called out.

"This eunuch asked permission to go before the Phoenix princess."

Silent. There is no lawfulness.

Still with his faint smile, Eunuch Li again said, this time a little louder.

"This eunuch asked permission to go before the Phoenix princess."

Still quiet.

Sighing, Eunuch Li then glanced at the two aides.

As if at once understanding, the two eunuch maids nodded and hurriedly pulled the library door open.

"This eunuch asked permission to enter and face the princess."

Then Eunuch Li's feet moved up several small stairs and went inside.

"Aakaakkkhh."

For the first time in his lifetime Eunuch Li screeched. That thin smile changed with a face with a wide gaping mouth.

His back-stabbing body was immediately restrained by two other eunuch aides. Her goose fur fan fell to the floor as the eunuch's hand hurriedly pressed down on her throbbing heart.

A terrible sight was presented before the eyes of the eunuch.

The entire contents of the empty shelf are chipped.

Thousands of old and rare scrolls were hanging from each other on the shelves, some even scattered on the floor in open conditions.

Ancient books have the same fate. Turn around in all positions. Some are open, some are open with the position of the face down, tilted here and there. But the most is scattered all over the place, especially the floor.

What the hell's been going on?! inner elder Eunuch Li cried.

As he remembered, last night he left the Phoenix princess and her servant in the library with everything neatly arranged. But now...

And his old brain immediately remembered something more important.

"Daughter?!" hisses. While the two neutrals were looking for a figure that had already shaken Tian country these few days.

"Princess Phoenix!" Eunuch Li raised his voice when he did not accept the sahutan.

Panic immediately ambushed the heart of the eunuch.

No, not last night, a thief broke into the library and kidnapped the princess!

Hiya. This could be a problem. This could be a problem!

With the fan swinging rapidly, Eunuch Li ordered one of his aides to immediately call the guards outside.

"Aiyoo.. hurry! hurry up!" the eunuch's panicked voice sounded not pretend as the maid did not rush out calling the guards.

However,

"Krroookk.. ngiiikk..krroookk...krroookk..."

Eunuch Li and his aides stared for a moment. Look at each other questioningly.

Walking slowly on his tiptoes to avoid stepping on the scattered scrolls and books, Eunuch Li moved closer to the sound coming from the corner of the room.

Among the piles of books and scrolls scattered there was Aran who was sleeping.

The girl's head fell on the table with several books open as pillows. On top of his head were several scrolls that opened and were piled up just like that.

The rest, all scattered under the feet.

While Xu Liang, sleeping on the floor leaned against Aran's study table. Both of his hands hugged a few scrolls initially, but fell stacked on his lap as Xu Liang's hands instantly warped once his consciousness was replaced by a dream.

Eunuch Li increasingly stroked da.da. The reason is, the increasing number of books and scrolls are scattered.

Kasim's eyeballs suddenly flashed when he found the pile of books that Aran made a pillow. The focus is on the wet stains there that look very familiar.

"Akkkhh!"

Eunuch Li's body drifted backwards. Arrested by two of his aides. This time his consciousness was completely nearly lost by this surprise attack.

It's a rare book about the teachings of Taoism. It has been around since the first emperor Tian was probably even older. Much is said about the teachings of virtue. It was even used as a reference to make palace rules. And the girl died as a pillow and.

How can!?

Eunuch Li's soul was completely floated. The old man twitched his temple as his head seemed to swirl.

"What?! What's?! What?!" asked Aran to wake up.

His eyes blink trying to get used to the existing lighting.

Feeling something wet at the corner of his lips, Aran quickly rubbed it with the back of his hand.

The frown on his forehead was formed when he saw Eunuch Li collapsing with one hand pressing down on him. As if he had a sudden heart attack.

"Rare Taoist books kingdom." screamed the eunuch staring at the poor book nanar on the table that was already half wet by Aran's saliva. Then the old man cried bitterly.

What happened to this old man?! thought Aran confused while scratching his itchy head.

The Flash Back On

Last Night, After Eunuch Li left Aran and Xu Liang in the royal library...

"Miss," whispered Xu Liang as he docked to Aran's side.

"Can you read?"

There was a dismissive tone in Xu Liang's voice. Aran just clucked.

He then took one scroll from a nearby shelf. Opening it, then .. a few minutes later his eyes began to gnaw. After that, his forehead began to form wrinkles. His head tilted to the left and then changed to the right. All the writing seemed blurry and swirling in his brain. And next, his lips pursed pointy.

Last.... Aran throws the origin into the air of the old scroll and then picks up another scroll.

"Oh, I expected." sizzled Xu Liang and patted him on the forehead.

"Boring! It's boring! It's boring!" decak Aran continued to throw several scrolls and books in all directions.

"Miss.." Xu Liang screamed in panic. Because in an instant one row of shelves the contents had scattered indistinctly, leaving empty shelves leaping.

Bowing hurriedly, Xu Liang picked up the scrolls one by one. Trying to get it back to where it was. However, it is not comparable to the speed of throwing Aran.

Xu Liang actually cried without tears.

"Miss, please don't mess it up. We can punish Eunuch Li." Xu Liang's voice sounded exhausted.

"Miss?" call Xu Liang. And found the master holding a book with a smile.

Xu Liang had a bad feeling.

"Miss, what book is that?"

Side Story's

"Xuang's... Ni... Jing.." slowly Aran spelled out an old scratch on one of the book covers in his hand.

Aran's forehead shriveled for a moment. Sounds familiar. A split second later, a bright smile adorned his lips.

"Miss, what book is that?" xu Liang's voice came from behind his back. The servant's face looked at him suspiciously.

With a quick movement, Aran pulled one hand of Xu Liang and invited him to sit curled up under one of the study tables.

"Why do we have to sit under the table, miss?" xu Liang's face looked confused.

"Because of this," Aran waved the book in hand as his two eyeballs glanced miserably towards the entrance. Afraid caught.

What book is that? They both had to hide. Thought Xu Liang plain.

And instantly his eyes darted wide as Aran opened the first page.

"Good, there is a painting as well." sizzled Aran made Xu Liang's face even more shudder in horror.

Xu Liang immediately cupped his two palms in the face. However, Aran immediately pulled her to open.

"It's important knowledge. Especially when you get married."

Nah! Nah! Nah!

Xu Liang shook his head loudly with both eyes closed. Although he had never been in school but Xu Liang knew the forbidden book.

"Miss, aren't you going to look for traces of your great-grandfather?" Xu Liang tried to divert the conversation and hoped that the master's brain would return to the right path.

"Aiiishh.it can be done later." Aran said as he continued to go page after page of the forbidden book.

God in the sky, please servant! the soul screams of Xu Liang.

"Look! There's a salted dragon in the air. monkey shimmered.. tiger stepped lightly. and..."

So Aran continued to speak...

While Xu Liang was now smothering his ears, his two eyes were still tightly closed and shaking loudly.

Gods in the sky! Forgive slave. My eyes, ears, heart and brain are no longer innocent!

It's all my employer's fault!

Xu Liang's soul howled into the night sky.
