The Princess Story's
Meet Again with Him...
King Wei took the girl to a shop. He asked the waiter to bring some food and a pot of tea.
They sat without a sound. The waiter came in to deliver drinks and food. King Wei began to eat the food, while the girl only saw the man in front enjoying the food.
After eating, King Wei looked at the girl with eyes as sharp as a lion about to pounce on its prey.
"What's your name?"
"...."
"Are you mute?" asked King Wei who saw the girl in front of him not to answer.
"Florence."
"What's? Flo...? asked King Wei, having trouble naming the girl.
"Flo.. fence...." The girl repeated it slowly.
"Florence? Where are you from?"
"I come from a far country. Your Majesty may never have heard the name of the country."
"Have you ever been in the woods and saved a wounded man there?" asked King Wei without further ado.
"How did he know I ever saved a man in the woods? Is that man his enemy? How should I answer it?" Many questions arise in the girl's mind.
King Wei took a cup and sipped tea. He was still waiting for an answer from the girl in front of him.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what His Majesty is asking. I've never saved anyone in the woods" he told a lie.
King Wei stared fixedly at the girl's face, quickly pulling the veil he was wearing. The girl was surprised and stood back up but the veil had come off. He covered his face with his long hanfu-wearing arm, then ran towards the window and left from there immediately.
King Wei tried to chase after her but a moment later the shadow of the girl had already disappeared.
King Wei returns to the Sun palace to meet the Crown Prince. "My respect to His Highness the Crown Prince...!
"There is no need to greet me Uncle." replied the Crown Prince who was sitting at the end of his bed.
"What brought Uncle here?" ask the Crown Prince to King Wei
"I want to find out about the girl who treated the Crown Prince. Does the Crown Prince know him?"
"I don't know him. The girl read the announcement in front of the palace walls and then came here. No one knows the identity of the girl." The Crown Prince looked at the medicine bottle at the corner of his bed.
King Wei realized his nephew was staring at something. He followed the direction of the young man's gaze. With big strides, he walked towards that sight and took the bottle from there.
The Crown Prince looked at her in surprise then asked, "Uncle...What's wrong with the bottle? It seems like Uncle was very surprised to see it."
King Wei took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve and showed the medicine to the Crown Prince. The bottle is almost similar but the medicine inside is different.
"This medicine was given by a girl who helped me in the woods. I was looking for the girl, but she wasn't found anywhere for a week. Now...all of a sudden he appears in the palace" explained King Wei.
"If he saves Uncle, doesn't that mean he's meritorious? If the girl doesn't want to meet Uncle, I think it's best for Uncle not to force her."
"I saved him from the assassins the night he came out of the palace. His life is in danger. I have to find and protect her." Clearly King Wei with a worried face.
"Flo being a target for assassins?" the Crown Prince asked in surprise at hearing that.
"True, he's being chased by trained killers. But the killer killed himself before he was interrogated."
"It seems I know who the man who wanted to kill him was." The Crown Prince was seen restraining his anger.
King Wei held onto the young man's shoulder, "I'll protect him"
"Uncle... She's. she's..." The Crown Prince had trouble continuing his words. His eyes began to glaze over.
"Consort Fei?" ask King Wei.
"I knew from the beginning that she was very cunning. He used the Prince 4 incident that fell from a tree to make you paralyzed. But I didn't know that he could use poison."
King Wei saluted the Crown Prince and then left from there.
The Crown Prince sat down to think about the events he had experienced since childhood. Starting from Consort Fei who often visited his palace to the 4th Prince who fell from a tree.
Rethinking all of those things, made her realize that the kindness Consort Fei showed was only a plan that the woman had devised to harm her. He clenched his hand holding back the overwhelming anger and sadness in his heart.
Since childhood the Crown Prince was taken care of by Consort Fei because the birth mother of the Crown Prince died during childbirth. The Crown Prince's birth mother was the previous Queen. Consort Fei was on good terms with the previous Queen. After the Queen died, the Crown Prince was raised by Consort Fei.
But it was all just Consort Fei's charade. All the kindness Consort Fei showed was just to dispel people's suspicions. Concubine Fei who had poisoned her until now.
THE FEI CONCUBINE PALACE
"Basins of useless trash, taking care of a girl just isn't good" Consort Fei said before her bodyguards.
"Pardon the servant Mistress, King Wei took the girl away. Servant dare not act rashly."
"Immediately finish off the girl before the Crown Prince is healed." Consort Fei said with reddened eyes harboring anger.
"Good Mistress."
**********
Meanwhile, the girl he was looking for was taking a bath in his room. He closed his eyes thinking about his meeting with King Wei. Why is he looking for me? that's a question he can't guess.
Her marriage to King Wei was two weeks away. He must immediately heal the Crown Prince and request that the marriage be annulled. Satisfied with having been soaking for a long time, the girl stood up wearing her shirt after drying her body with a piece of cloth.
He turned his ring around and then came out of the wall like he did these few days. He went around the night market looking for the drugs needed to make an antidote.
Although his blood can be used as an antidote, he must not reveal the secret in front of people. While passing through an entertainment venue, his eyes met the eyes of a young man whom he recognized in his face.
The young man immediately went down to jump over the window and stopped the girl's steps. He was so happy to meet that girl there.
"Miss, we meet again." he said with a bright smile.
King Wei is undercover in the entertainment district to investigate the recent disappearance of young girls. He wore ordinary noble clothes and took off his mask.
Sese did not realize the young man was King Wei. He smiled kindly and greeted the young man.
"Have your wounds healed?"
"I'm fine thanks to Miss. As a token of gratitude, I hope Miss doesn't mind eating with me." King Wei invited.
One felt no need to return his bud. He just happened to help the young man in the woods and did not expect any reward. But because his stomach also felt hungry, he did not reject the young man's offer in front of him.
The waiter delivered some side dishes and rice then left his guests in a private room.
"Please eat it." said King Wei smiling kindly.
"Thank you"
Shamelessly Sese finished all the food on the table. King Wei was a little surprised to see him eating voraciously without a care to keep his attitude.
A girl will usually keep her attitude in front of the young man, especially if the young man is handsome. But the girl in front of him was very different. She saw him kill the pack of wolves and now saw him eating voraciously.
King Wei smiled, the girl who had been observed glancing at the young man then asked "Is there something on my face?"
"I was only surprised because this was the first time I saw the girl who ate so voraciously." replied King Wei with a smile.
"This is all because of that stupid King Wei!" sese replied without realizing the person he called stupid was in front of him.
"Uhukkk uhukk...." King Wei who was drinking tea choked heard himself called a fool.
