Xiu Jia Li's
Episode 24's. Let's go home

Xi Mei who was fleeing away from Xavier and his soldiers who wanted to capture him, accidentally met with Zheng near a forest.

Zhao prevented him from the front, the man was curious as to why Xi Mei looked anxious.

"Xi Mei, what happened to you? Why do you look so panicked?" zheng asked worriedly.

"Eee no Zhao, I'm fine. I just want to go to the forest now, will you accompany me?" xi Mei replied smilingly.

"of course. Why do you want to go to the forest? Do you not want to meet with the courtiers? All I hear is that they are on a visit to our village. Rarely, there are kings who want to come here" said Zheng.

"I've met them, so I'm satisfied and now want to go to the forest to go around. If you want to come too, then let's go to the forest together!" xi Mei.

"May, I'll get you" Zheng said.

Finally they stepped together towards the forest, Zheng was quite happy to be able to accompany the girl.

"Eee Xi Mei, may I ask you one thing?" zheng said glancing towards Xi Mei.

"Umm... What do you want to ask?" Xi Mei looked puzzled and also looked at Zheng.

"I've actually been curious since I first met you, because I've never seen or met your parents. Where do they live anyway?" zheng asked curiously.

Suddenly Xi Mei immediately turned sad, she lowered her head and fell silent after Zheng asked about her parents.

"Eee you why Xi Mei? My question makes you sad, right? I'm sorry Xi Mei, you don't have to answer if you don't want to!" zheng felt guilty.

"Father, thank you for knowing me!" xi Mei smiled faintly.

"Yaudah, you forgot my question! I'm so sorry I made you sad!" zheng stroked the girl's hand.

"Yes, you don't have to apologize! I've missed it" said Xi Mei.

Zheng smiled faintly while nodding his head, he was really sorry for asking about Xi Mei's parents and making the girl sad.

"We go ahead!" pinta Xi Mei's.

"okay! Can I hold your hand? It's nothing, I just want to take care of you." Zheng asked Xi Mei for permission.

"Why are you asking now? You held my hand" Xi Mei said.

"Huh? Eee me..." Zheng looked nervous and confused as to what to answer.

"Ahaha, yes gapapa. I even like to be taken with people if the two of you walk again, I feel guarded" Xi Mei said with a small laugh.

"Thanks to Xi Mei!" zheng said feeling pleased.

Xi Mei nodded her head, without further ado Zheng clasped his hands and they continued their journey to the forest while talking to each other.

The soldiers who were ordered to search Luan's house have returned, but they seem unable to find Xiu's daughter as Xavier intended.

"Hows it? You guys managed to find the princess inside?" ask Xavier.

"Sorry your majesty! But, in there we found nothing including the princess." replied one of the soldiers.

"Damn! There's no way the princess isn't inside, surely you guys are looking for her incorrectly!" Xavier.

"Your highness! We've searched the entire area of this house, but we didn't get the princess or anything related to her" the soldier said.

Xavier looked annoyed, he clenched his hands and his body started trembling.

"I've told you before, Your Majesty. Neither do my husband and I know where the princess is at the moment, nor do we really hope to find the princess. However, we have not managed to get information about the whereabouts of the princess," said Luan.

"Don't lie to you, Luan! I know you've taken the princess away from the palace, so you better leave her to me because she belongs to the palace!" xavier said in a high tone.

"Your majesty!" queen Lien got off her chariot, approached Xavier and called out to him.

Xavier looked back, smiling to find his queen coming down.

"Yes, what's wrong, baby?" ask Xavier gently.

"Greetings to us, queen!" said Luan and Ryu immediately saluted the queen.

"Thank you Luan, and you're Ryu!" said queen Lien.

"Your highness, we'd better get back to the palace! I'm worried that our son is confused about where we are" queen Lien told Xavier.

"Beauty, I'm asking them about your daughter's whereabouts. Don't you really want Princess Xiu back in the palace?" Xavier.

"Yes, of course I want that. But, you can't force them to confess to a deed they didn't do, your majesty!" said queen Lien.

Xavier paused for a moment looking towards Luan and Ryu with a sinister expression.

Then, Xavier stepped forward towards his queen and cupped the queen's face with a smile.

"Alright, I'll obey your will. We're going home now!" Xavier.

"Thank you, your majesty!" queen Lien smiled.

Xavier only gave a short nod, then took the hand of queen Lien and walked together towards the horse carriage.

Luan and Ryu were both relieved, as Xavier was willing to comply with queen Lien and leave from there.

On the way to the palace, Xavier glanced back at Queen Lien and inquired about Xiu's daughter who was currently out of nowhere.

"Darling, do you really not know where the princess is right now?" ask Xavier.

"Why are you asking like that? You don't believe me?" said queen Lien.

"Not so, I'm just confused about you. Wasn't that the last time Princess Xiu was with you? How could he leave without your knowledge?" Xavier.

"I told you, I don't know where Xiu is now. I'm also sad and eager to meet him, don't you realize that I've been crying all this time?" said queen Lien.

"Yes, I know. If you really don't know, I'll try to find Xiu's daughter!" Xavier.

"Why are you so eager to look for Xiu?" ask Queen Lien suspiciously.

"How are you? You said you wanted to see your daughter, I just wanted to help you meet her again" Xavier replied.

"I can't believe you're looking for him because you want to imprison him. I know what you're up to" said Queen Lien.

"You don't just talk, baby! I'm not who you think I am, I'm looking for Xiu because I just want him to regroup with you in the palace like he used to be" Xavier said.

"It's good if that's the case" said Queen Lien.
