บท 62: Daughter Who Could Break Rules Once
"I am better now... I should be leaving the Palace now... I will tell people that Prince Yong is kind heart...and considerate_cough_I should not be any more burden_ ah my wound...! I am sorry...it is not painful anymore_!!" she was like a newbie in the acting classes.
"Ah...you should not move...!! Herbalist, physicians, what are you standing here idle...go check her condition... I'll hang you all if anything happened to her...!!" Prince Yong was flattered by her praise.
The threat of dangling them of all was a little big, that she blinked her eyes innocently at them.
They checked her thoroughly several times, only a few healing scratches of wounds were left, other than this, her body was hail and healthy, they looked at each other not knowing what to say.
"Miss Diu...you are a guest at the Palace for a month...and please don't say that you are a burden...it made me uneasy...you can go after you celebrate with us, the event of winter_!!" he said in an authoritative way.
He left her room leaving the paramedic staff of old herbalists and physicians bewildered.

A horseman was heading toward the home village of General Zhong, he was ordered to reach him in minimum possible time.
General caught the news of her daughter being caught by the King and her decree, "I would not spare anyone in the Kingdom_whoever harmed my daughter_!!" he wanted to slaughter every being who was involved in this matter and also he would not spare King, he could forget what he himself face at his hands but if King hurt his daughter, a single strand of her hair, he would assassin the King no matter what happened after that.
He was enraged, he was gone to get his remaining relatives and tell them that he was fine, it was the idea of Henan, she knew their relatives suffered a lot.
He was no more General that did not mean that he forgot to wield his sword, his sword would decide now, the fate of the King.
The horseman reached his destination, he got off his horse and bowed to the man who was ready to rush and decide the fate of the whole kingdom, he was like burning lava, his body was exuding power and he was tall, strong and prepared with an excellent disposition.
"I was entrusted to bring this letter for you_General Zhong!!" he bowed on his knees and straight up his both palms holding the letter.
"I am not General anymore and who is the sender of this letter_??" he was little impatient to hear him.
"The Queen of Kingdom Shang_!!" he replied.
He could see the golden seal on the letter, he unwrapped it and started reading, his expressions turning strange to cold and then finally unknown to dig out what exactly was General Zhong was thinking.
He finished the letter and was ready to enter his house, then he remembered that the one who brought this letter did not rise up from his knees.
"What are here for_ you did your job now go back_!!"
"I cannot go back_!!" he answered.
"Queen ordered this messenger... become the slave of General Zhang or if he refused then I should cut my head off...I don't have the courage to ask great General for such request and if you command I will immediately cut my head off_!!" he brought out his sharp dagger and presented General Zhong.
This was a way to know the will of authority, if General Zhong goes back without a word then he had only one choice.
General Zhong could understand the intentions of Queen, she meant to hide every information regarding this matter from the King and this messenger must be her most trusted slave.
"What's your name_ I needed someone to bring woods for the stove_!!" General went into the house.
The slave heaved a sigh, as expected of a great General, he always saved innocents.
General Zhong was in dilemma, why her daughter went to find the Prince? Did not she had a clear understanding of the threat? If something happened to her?
What made her decide such matter earnestly! He himself was worried for the Prince but he would not do such an irrational act! "Stop_irrational, yes! if I am Henan_ I would definitely do such irrational act_ did not she go against everything just to find me_her father_?" his eyes flickered with the thoughts.
He remembered that she mentioned him, how Prince helped her in learning martial, archery and even trample on every rule just to be on her side!!
"My daughter really know_how to pay back debts_!!" he smiled.

"You are not doing your job well_ you blemished the whole fabric of my dress...do you think it would be nice to appear in such a disgusting attire in front of Prince Yong...?" the doting consort of Prince Yong was displeased to see her evening dinner dress.
"I seek your forgiveness consort Ya_ I should fix it before evening_!!" the maid was full of tears.
"Better you fix it... either I can't guarantee your life...!!" consort Ya waved her away.
She was busy to select the matching jewelry for her dress and applying some beautifying herbs on her face, the maids standing on both sides looked each other helplessly.
"What are doing here...wash my feet with fragrant water of Jasmine_and be careful_my feet are delicate for your rough hands_!!" consort Ya sneered at both maids.
These bunch of maids only know how to fill their stomach and did not know how to work for the Palace_!!" she gritted to herself.
