The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 88-Installation for Hua Mulan

Li Zhen Chan simply kept silent and turned his back to the woman.

Hua Mulan nodded, and took a few steps back, wiping out all the water on her face, and removing all her jewelry, leaving only one ring on her index finger, his face was covered with bruises and hugged the body of his son.

"We go my son" said Hua Mulan,

"My jewel mother is coming," Li Song Yu said not wanting to leave Hua Mulan alone, the woman smiled as she shook her head.

"No Song Yu, take good care of this place" Hua Mulan said and the two stepped out of the gate.

"Wait!!! Li Buya you will not be able to return if you pass through that gate today" Li Zhen Chan's mother said.

Hua Mulan closed her eyes, how could she get through this by herself, but the future of her child was more important, than her current emotions.

Hua Mulan released her embrace on the shoulder of her son.

"Don't argue with mom this time, hang on Li Buya, stay strong, throw away all useless feelings, mom will pick you up soon," hua Mulan said and left Li Buya kneeling both hands touching the floor crying.

The rain started pouring down on the earth, the sky was starting to light up, Hua Mulan was tracing the streets of the capital which started to crowd out people looking for necessities despite taking shelter behind their umbrellas, some people were watching her, the heavy rain made the thin white clothes wet and showed the woman's black underwear, though she was ashamed to keep walking on foot, barefoot, with a face full of bloodstains and bruises, her hair was also so disheveled, the woman just looked down did not want her face recognized.

"For the first time I bow my head," the woman's inner.

A pair of eyes watched the woman from inside the luxurious and warm horse carriage,

"It's perfect, and now it's my chance" the young man murmured.

The woman's eyes looked empty until a young man came down from a luxurious horse carriage approaching her,

Aunt Hua, please get on the train, I will take care of all your difficulties, do not deserve a respectable woman like aunty alone like this, I know aunt has no relatives in this capital," said the dashing and charismatic young man who was none other than the prince of Qing Fan

The woman looked at the dashing young man deeply, and it was very noticeable that prince Qing Fan was so earnest.the woman stared for a moment into the warm carriage, which was very warm,that would make her avoid the contemptuous gazes of those residents.

The woman straightened her face again, and twisting the ring on her index finger stepped her feet past the prince Qing Fan without speaking, tracing the streets of the city that was starting to bustle, almost everyone stared at the prince of Qing Fan and Hua Mulan, respectively,

Prince Qing Fan closed his eyes, no matter the rain water flushed his body, he said,

"Aunt Hua. I'm sorry, but I really want to help you, I know auntie doesn't want to be considered a woman carelessly by riding on the train of a man who's not your husband, she said, but I beg you to come in, I am a friend of your son, so there is nothing wrong" said the prince Qing Fan and enveloped the woman in his robe.

The woman continued to step without speaking and dropped the robes of prince Qing Fan, made the young man pick the robe back up, and stepped behind Hua Mulan while trying to melt the woman's heart, making the young man pick up the robe again,

"Hua Mulan, I love you, I've loved you since I was 15, and you're the only woman I want to marry" Prince Qing Fan said, his love had already made him blind, not even caring so many people were paying attention to him.

Prince Qing Fan's eyes widened staring at the back covered in Hua Mulan's wet clothes. And suddenly the woman stopped her steps making the heart of prince Qing Fan so relieved, eyes closed and preparing to make a great negotiation, he said, since everyone knew if Hua Mulan was such a smart and insightful person, the woman would not be so receptive to her as a husband.

The woman turned her steps towards a tavern where the tavern owner was screaming in annoyance at someone, and that person was Zhi Yuan.

"Sir..we will improve for a while, later in the afternoon we will open again, you can come again," cried the owner of the store, yelled, however the tavern owner's eyes widened staring at the figure standing behind Zhi Yuan made the young man shut up and slowly started to turn around to see who made the tavern owner swerve.

Zhi Yuan twisted his body looking at Hua Mulan who was full of bruises and looked so crushed, Zhi Yuan closed his eyes looking at Hua Mulan's miserable condition. the young man looked up to let the rain water drench his face and the young man's eyes opened with a spotlight so shady and able to calm the broken heart of Hua Mulan. The woman looked at Zhi Yuan with quivering lips, white steam coming out from the nose because the morning air was so cold, the two of them were like talking to each other in silence.

Zhi Yuan approached the woman who was just standing in front of him without a single word, and removed her robe enveloping the woman, and suddenly the woman collapsed on the chest of the young man, and Hua Mulan closed her eyes tightly, hugging Zhi Yuan's waist so tightly, her body trembled so violently as it spilled all the pain of her heart.

Everyone looked so shocked, prince Qing Fan shook his head in disbelief at the incident, looking up at his head while revealing his flat teeth laughing full of disappointment.

"What'sthis? why did Aunt Hua hug this foreign young man, were they family related? I had always observed Hua's aunt, and there was no way they would have a love affair," the inner prince Qing Fan was so jealous, the man was so eager to become the pedestal of that woman he loved so much.

Zhi Yuan wanted to caress Hua Mulan's head, but the young man broke his intention, as everyone would think a no-no, and began to think how to get the woman to let go of his embrace.

"Miss... are you trying to tease a pubescent boy like me?" said Zhi Yuan and the Qing Fan prince heard the provocation remarks from Zhi Yuan.

Hua Mulan slightly smiled behind her swollen lips, and nodded as well as further immersing her face in Zhi Yuan's chest.

Prince Qing Fan was wide-eyed in disbelief if Hua Mulan allowed herself to be humbled by the foreign man, as well as Zhi Yuan not expecting any reaction from the woman.

"Madam, people are watching us" whispered Zhi Yuan, trying to take off the woman's increasingly tight embrace.

"I don't care anymore Zhi Yuan, I really don't care anymore about the contents of their heads, Zhi Yuan took me to the inn" the woman said, the owner of the tavern gulped his saliva, the man was so familiar with who the beautiful woman was.
