The Princess Story's
Episode 239's
Prime Minister Huang cried as he read the letter from Se Se. Of course happy cries and sadness mixed in it. She was happy to have a daughter who loved her so much, yet she also felt sad at losing her daughter who was currently out of nowhere.
"Ye Yuan, prepare the horse carriage! I want to go to the residence of King Wei." asked Prime Minister Huang.
"I will accompany Father." replied Ye Yuan.
Prime Minister Huang was still staring at the jade located on the table, he touched the jade carving with his fingertips.
"The work is very beautiful and elegant, each carving is made with a very heart and polished until smooth and shining. Is this how much my daughter loves her useless father?" murmured Prime Minister Huang.
The horse carriage had been prepared, Ye Yuan and Prime Minister Huang left together for the residence of King Wei.
The horse carriage stopped in front of the gate, the doorman asking the coachman to report his identity before being allowed inside.
Another horse carriage appeared from a different direction. King Wei shouted at the gatekeeper to get out of the gate immediately.
Hearing the cry of King Wei's voice, the two gatekeepers immediately opened the gate. The chariot mounted by King Wei drove through the gate followed by Prime Minister Huang's chariot.
"Hurry up and get the healer!" king Wei orders after he gets off the horse carriage.
Se Se was in a state of unconsciousness, the healer who had just arrived immediately checked his state.
Some time later the Physician told King Wei that the Empress's ribs were broken and that many of the wounds on her body had decayed.
"The Empress being able to survive until now was a miracle. If it were ordinary humans, they would have already lost their lives. The pain was not something that ordinary humans could endure. Moreover, the Empress seemed to have eaten nothing as long as she was injured."
"Is he okay now?" ask King Wei.
"Yes, Her Majesty the Empress is an extraordinary woman. Her body is indeed weak but it does not threaten the life of the Empress." replied the Physician.
The healer writes a prescription medication to be taken by Se Se during the healing process. After handing over the recipe to King Wei, the healer excused to go home.
Prime Minister Huang was on the edge of the bed, he was sitting next to his daughter who was lying weakly. Ye Yuan stood beside his father. They looked at their beloved daughter's face with a sad face.
Tear drops fell on Prime Minister Huang's cheeks, not much different from his father's, a puddle of water was also visible in Ye Yuan's eyes.
The two people just stared at Se Se without saying anything. After a while of staring at their little daughter, Prime Minister Huang took Ye Yuan back to the residence so that the daughter could rest well.
King Wei escorted Prime Minister Huang and Ye Yuan to the main gate. After the departure of his wife's two families, King Wei felt a gaze from someone who was fixed on him.
King Wei stared back at the gaze from that distance, at a glance he felt a great sense of hostility from the gaze of that person's eyes. The man who doesn't even see his nose.
Out of concern for Se Se, King Wei walked over quickly to return to their room.
A pair of eyes that had been watching King Wei had appeared from behind the lush foliage. A handsome young man with red hair appeared with a god peach in his hand.
Huo Feng looked at the fruit, he was about to give the fruit to Se Se yet he did not want to be seen by others. He struggled to get the fruit to restore the energy of the woman who became his master.
The god peach is a rare fruit that grows inside the crater of a volcano. The peach tree of the god bears fruit only once every hundred years. There are only five fruits in each tree.
Huo Feng went around the volcano mountains to get the peaches of the gods, after exploring the seventh mountain only he found a tree that had already borne fruit.
"Let's make a little commotion!" huo Feng said with a sly smile.
"Swooosshhhhhhhh...!!!"
"The fire!"
"The fire!"
"The fire!"
Some servants paced the well to get water that would be used to put out the fire.
King Wei heard shouts from the servants, he came out of the room to make sure the flames did not reach the main room.
Huo Feng took advantage of the opportunity to enter the room, with one hand Huo Feng opened Se Se's lips which were still asleep. He then destroyed the divine peach that was in his left hand.
The water from the peaches dripped into the woman's mouth, after it was tasted enough, Huo Feng cleaned up the traces of peach water that flowed out from his master's lips.
At a glance the woman opened her eyes, she saw the shadow of Huo Feng standing in front of her.
"Huo Feng?" said weak.
"Yes, it's me." Huo Feng replied.
The woman smiled, her little lips muttering a word that did not sound clear but read due to the slow movement.
"Thank you."
The woman closed her heavy eyes again. Huo Feng's guilty feelings became more and more numerous. The wound that was originally only a small and trivial thing for him became a wound that could threaten the life of his employer.
"Because of my selfishness, he might just die of pain. While I... I was just thinking of a way to recover my strength. I'm sorry, master!" huo Feng said in his mind.
Huo Feng left the room before King Wei returned. Despite not coming face to face, King Wei was aware of Huo Feng's existence in the main room.
"Who is that guy?" asked King Wei in his heart.
King Wei was of course grateful because thanks to the man he could find Se Se faster. Yet she did not like to see the man's gaze, a gaze as if Se Se was hers. King Wei felt threatened by the man's existence.
"Ugh..."
Se Se groaned in his sleep, King Wei immediately approached his wife who was still lying weak.
"Who did this? Why do they always make my wife a target? It's all my fault, I shouldn't have made any enemies anywhere." thought King Wei.
King Wei looked at his wife's face that looked in pain, he held Se Se's tiny hand in his grasp.
"These injuries must have hurt a lot, right? I should have been the one that got hurt. I caused all this to happen. I'm the reason those people hurt you. I'm a really useless husband. Husband that only caused disaster to my wife." lamented King Wei.
King Wei's eyes began to water, several times he kissed the back of his wife's palm while saying an apology.
"I'm sorry...
I'm really sorry that you had to go through all this suffering.
Ii'm sorry...
I'm useless because I can't take good care of my wife. Please forgive me..."
