The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 396 Side story (A Fei the princess of Jin)
A Fei's entire body trembled. In the darkness, he imagined Jingu's fallen body being shot by Chenlan's arrow. But he soon regained his senses as a soft touch landed on the woman's shoulder along with Jingu's soothing words.
" It's okay. It's all done. "
A Fei opened his eyes in surprise. If not Jingu then who fell?
The question led A Fei's eyes straight forward where Li Chenlan was lying with an arrow stuck right in his chest. Similarly, his bodyguard who fared the same not far from him.
It turned out that a sharpshooter managed to slide his arrow right on Li Chenlan's arrow to make it bounce followed by the next arrow that precisely hit his heart and the guard.
Not long after the incident, Sima Feng came with dozens of bodyguards behind.

" Stop crying, sorry I found you too late. " Sima Feng tried to persuade A Fei who had been crying in his arms since then. If you don't remember the new brother being hit by a calamity, maybe the always cold man will think a thousand times to do this.
A Fei who always looked strong now looked fragile. His cry was not because he was still afraid but rather relieved to finally be freed from the figure of Li Chenlan.
" Right, you're very late. You suck. Jingu could even find me sooner. " Even in tears, A Fei could still make fun of him.
" You're right, I suck. Already, stop crying. If Dad finds out, he'll scold me thinking I'm the one who made you cry. "
Seeing my sister was calmer. Sima Feng again asked, "now tell me, what did that bastard do to you during yesterday's kidnapping? "
There was a hint of anger in Sima Feng's question and it was noticed by A Fei.
" Just calm down. He hasn't done anything, rather hasn't done it. "
Sima Feng's eyebrows knitted at hearing A Fei's words. " What do you mean by not doing anything? "
Exhaling, A Fei finally told Li Chenlan's plan which he accidentally heard to the elder brother.
Sima Feng's hands clenched and cursed the former brother-in-law. " Fuckin' bastard! how dare he want to do that to you. If only he were alive, I would torture him until he only expected death instead of forgiveness from you even that did not include punishment for A Guang's death. " There was a flash of anger in Sima Feng's eyes.
If the man was in front of him at this moment he might have already dyed him alive. Not a single sentence could describe how angry Sima Feng was at the moment.
" I know he's a bastard brother. But it had all passed, he had also paid with his life. But.. somehow I feel that there is still something else that stands in my way. " A Fei looked at Sima Feng, her expression looking solemn.
" I feel that the death of Brother A Guang has nothing to do with Li Chenlan. When I asked him about Kak A Guang's death, he firmly denied it. "
" And you believe it? what a jerk like. " Sima Feng immediately interrupted A Fei's remark.
" It's not like that. I also know he's a jerk, a cunning, an asshole. But his words made me think a little, could it be that he was indeed not A Guang's killer.if that was true, wasn't the real killer still free and Chenlan as a scapegoat took it all. "
" Well, I'll try to investigate again. Now you better rest. Going to bed early will keep you young. "
A Fei chuckled. " I know and thank you for telling me. I will definitely stay young and live a long life. "
Sima Feng smiled faintly as he was about to come out, A Fei called out to him again.
" What else? "
" I just want to ask, when are we going back to the village? " A Fei remembered that he still had a task to complete.
" We don't go back to Wuyuan County. We're going straight to the capital. "
A Fei looked at his brother with an expression of objection. " why? don't I still have to finish the job you gave me, brother. "
" I'll leave that job to someone else. Mom and Dad want you back quickly. They can't wait to meet you. It seems that due to yesterday's incident, mom's dad will be more protective of you. "
" Can't. How can you just give my job to someone else. I haven't even started it yet. " A Fei still chuckled in refusal.
"This is not my decision, but the decision of emperor Jin. "
" And the Jin emperor is our father brother. Can't you just talk to him and tell him that I want to stay and finish this job. If I leave just like that, I feel like I am a human being with no sense of responsibility. "
Seeing A Fei's lethargic face, Sima Feng unwillingly relented. " all right. I'll talk to dad. But don't expect too much because I'm just helping to talk instead of persuading him. "

While elsewhere,
" How? did you take care of the body? " Task Jingu to his subordinates.
" It's mister, but it seems like His Majesty the emperor knows and will call you soon. "
" That's it. Just let that old man. I already know what he's gonna say. Killing one of the pieces would certainly make him angry, even I myself was also one of the pieces. " Jingu smiled bitterly at the thought of his fate.
As the youngest Prince of Emperor Nan, he had to be ready whenever he was used by his father. As of now, he had to carry out a mission but on the other hand he was also reluctant to carry it out. Jingu dilemma, having to choose between love or devotion to his country.
Doubtful, but he realized there was no longer a chance for him to retreat. Especially after the big mistake he made. Could it be that A Fei was still willing to forgive him.
Impossible.
