175 LoHua
Night came fast.
LoHua Village, thatâs the name of a village that has existed since the collapse and dissolution of the WahYe royal family and their loyal followers, previously a place far from the hustle and bustle of the city was only used as a hiding place because of its location which was rather difficult to reach by newcomers, after a while, WuLan and his family from the loyal ministers of WahYe palace gathered everyone and built a peaceful life there.
LoHua village is already famous for its natural products and handicrafts, its residents are very painstaking to sell their produce and hard work to the surrounding towns, after a long time the village that used to have nothing now has many results that cannot be underestimated, the clothes that the residents wear which are specially made for birthday or wedding celebrations are made from silkworms raised by the residents themselves, the very good quality of the fabric makes a lot of traders who buy it, so itâs not strange if the LoHua residents who are the original descendants of the WahYe clan can survive even prosper because of it.
WuLan was the appointed elder by the residents, but due to her age and declining health, the old princess could only become a village elder and give the seat of local government to the residents who were much younger, and indeed, the people of WahYe had both physical appearance and intelligence. There is not a single citizen who rebels and always obeys the words and orders of the village elders makes the situations in LoHua are very safe, there is no crime rate at all, this is indeed a village that is everyoneâs dream to live and raise their sweet children in the there.
LuoXiang lifted his teacup to receive Princess WuLanâs and the rest of the familyâs dinner at the main house of LoHua village, a large house with a wide hall often used by residents and elders to entertain guests of honor.
âIt is an honor to be able to host His Highness the Crown Prince in my ramshackle hut, please enjoy the simple food we provide,â WuLan said in a deep voice, ChenMing sat not far beside him.
The Crown Prince smiled, indeed an honorable princess, soft and gentle words with polite gestures like a big princess, an old woman who in her seventy-five years old still looks extraordinary beauty, he can understand why all the descendants of WuLan princesses are so attractive even BaiYing, the fruit doesnât fall far from the tree.
âhehe Your Majesty the princess is so humble, this place is very beautiful and comfortable to live in, really did not expect deep in the SuiLian forest there is such a beautiful villageâ
WuLan lowered her cup and placed it on the table beside her.
.....
âHehehe this is just a small village cant say itâs a beautiful place, better call it, a place worth living in.â
Hearing that LuoXiang chuckled.
âHehehe Princess WuLan indeed has a point.â
The old woman looked at LuoXiangâs face for a moment, smiling broadly at the handsome face of the young man who was so young but amazed just by looking at him, he was able to say the sweet words that make her nervous disappeared.
âHe, that child, lucky to meet His Highness the Crown Prince, I heard a story from ChenMing, if His Majesty often protects him, this, is fate, if a future supreme ruler YueYang unites with the descendants of the great King WahYe, Yingâerâs face, very similar to the Great King YenHui when heâs young, from memory coins, I seem to see my fatherâs youth very clearly, heh, this, is fateâ
LuoXiang put the teacup on the table,
âYingYing, is a son of SanNiang, son of a princess, according to the rules of any country, an outside descendant cannot occupy the position of a King, although, it might be possible in some cases, and, I didnât expect that YingYing would carrying such a huge burden, he is just a child trying to find his family back after his fatherâs entire family was killed, YingYing is too innocent to think that far, I wish, Her Highness the Princess understands that.â
WuLan was silent until she covered her mouth to suppress a smile seeing how the young man in front of her was very serious with his words, the young man with a sharp gaze.
âHeh, pardon this servant Your Majesty, but, WahYeâs supreme and great rulerâs destiny is not from the bloodline, as long as WahYeâs descendant has all it takes to become a ruler, anyone can do it, servant, didnât mean to draw Yingâer into troubled family matters that he doesnât even know at all, heh, for now, Iâm just quite relieved to see the child back to his place, the last place where his mother was born and grew up, servant, didnât expect at my old age to still be given the opportunity to see my great-grandson, itâs really a fortune.â
LuoXiang smiled.
âHehe, Princess still looks so young, I think Her highness the princess will still live a very long time.â
Hearing LuoXiangâs sweet words, WuLan chuckled again.
âHehehe Your Highness the Crown Prince really good in wordsâ
.........
Prakk!!
There was a loud slap that caused objects to fall because they were pushed, YeMu fell onto the wooden floor after hitting the chair until it shattered.
YueWang stood where he was, his face red with anger rising to his head, his fists clenched in an attempt to restrain himself from expending more energy, but the young girl in front of him really made him unable to contain himself.
YeMu raised her head, her hair was messy after being hit so hard by YueWang, part of her left cheek had a burnt wound, the girl glared at YueWang.
âYou, hit me?â
YueWang looked at YeMu sharply
âThen, should I kill you right now? Silly girl, look what youâve done? See how Shengâer is now? And all our plans were ruined because of your crazy ambition!â
YeMu struggled to get up from the fall, clenching her fists tightly against the emotion of seeing the old man.
âOur plan is not broken, I managed to get the coin as well as the childâs blood, what else do you need? Wouldnât it be much better if I managed to kill the Crown Prince too? Thatâs what you want, isnât it? So that your path will be smooth and unobstructed.â
YueWang opened his palms throwing his inner strength towards YeMu which caused the girl to be thrown against the wall very hard.
âBrukk!â
âAh!â
The girl moaned fresh blood oozed from the edges of her lips, the pressure in the old manâs inner strength was very strong, it might have injured her internal organs which made her vomit fresh blood.
âWho do you think you are? Killing the Crown Prince? Hehe really funny, only I can kill him, after all, when all this starts, even an arrogant Crown Prince like that wonât even appear on the surface anymore, whatâs worth from a spoiled Crown Prince who canât do anything when all the efforts to wake WahYe startâ
YeMu held her neck, YueWangâs internal pressure held her neck firmly against the wall making it difficult for her to breathe.
âEkh, old man, you, forgot, who am I? Iâm DuGu Ye, if you kill me, donât dream of resurrecting the Lost palace, you still need me, ehân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
