Chapter 159 159; Whispering Voices
They rode their horses and turned several corners before arriving at the palace, she could see the majestic palace that stood on this own radiating superiority.
Prince Wang Yike pulled a stop at the horse field and alighted his horse as he signalled the soldiers to take it away.
Lin Wei also alighted as she assisted Xie and Xiao Xue to get down passing the horse to the guard.
The soldier came to get her horse, "please feed it well for me and also wash it." She said coldly, as she carried Xiao Xue and tagged behind the Prince.
They arrived at an isolated manor in the place which seemed to be unoccupied but was also well maintained as it was sparking clean.
"You can rest here first, I will go and see if my father is available and inform him about your arrival Miss." He said politely as he exited, Lin Wei nodded her head and walked into the manor.
It was simple but elegantly designed, she placed Xiao Xue on the bed before scrutinizing everything carefully.
"Alright, it's safe for now, you can clean up and rest, I know you guys are exhausted." She said as she sat down on the small chair that accompanied the table.
The Prince walked into the hall where he found his father going through some scrolls of important official matters.
"Father, there is a visitor who wants to see you." He bowed as he reported.
"Am busy, I am not expecting visitors." He responded without raising his head.
" Father she said she will destroy our Kingdom if we don't adhere to her request, so I beg of you to attend to her requests" He politely explained.
" Impudent, Who is she and where does she come from? how dare she? Who is she to threaten us!" The King scoffed.
"I didn't ask her name or where she is from but she is stronger than me as I tried fighting her earlier and am very sure she can do that without batting her eye." Worriedly, Wang Yike explained.
" Alright, bring her to see me, I want to see how strong she is." King Wang responded sarcastically.
Prince Wang Yike sighed, his father was always hotheaded. He exited the hall and went back into the manor.
He found Lin Wei just staring into space, "My father has granted you an audience Miss." He politely informed her.
Lin Wei nodded her head as she stood, " Xie, take good care of Xiao Xue until I get back." She instructed as she walked away.
After walking few metres they finally arrived at the hall.
They walked in and Prince Wang Yike bowed his head but Lin Wei didn't mind this stupid greetings as she sat down slouchly.
King Wang had already noticed her arrogance, but why was she a little girl! He expected to see someone who is a grown up.
"Miss what can I do for you? Who are you and where do you come from?." He asked without looking at her as he went on with his scrolls.
"Princess Jun Lin Wei, from Qing Kingdom, I need to see the Princess from Qing Kingdom who got married here. " She spoke out coldly.
" We don't have such a person here." He responded coldly.
"I will give you ten minutes, I need to see her in ten minutes time. " She said coldly as she leaned on the chair lazily looking around.
The King raised his head and keenly looked at her, "She died long time ago I think, it's been many years, why ask for her now?." He responded.
"Don't ask me suuch silly questions, I don't want things of thinking but rather showing me the real evidence, if she is dead, show me her grave of if she is alive, I have to see her." She retorted back as she played with her hair.
She took the Jade pin and began studying it, it looked kind of mysterious thing on its own, or could it be it's because I used my powers.
She thought silently as she rotated it round, it had an elegant intricately designed of magnolia flowers.
She raised her head and saw the guard who was looking at her weirdly, she darted the Jade pin towards him as it hit his leg, the Jade pin lit as it glowed bloody red.
"Arrrrggghh! Arrggghhh!" The soldier screamed out as he fell down onto his knees, she leapt up and stood infront of him as she took the Jade pin back and threw a pellet into the soldier's mouth as he swallowed.
The soldier felt better again, he stood up and began checking himself out, but he was fine which surprised him, as if whatever happened earlier was just an illusion.
"Hehehehe! I guess you need to feed on blood, red blood." She said softly as she smiled evilly while caressing the pin and sat down.
King Wang felt this young girl here was a mysterious figure, how could he go about this matter.
"Give me time and I send people to find out her whereabouts." The King responded.
" Alright, I will go and rest, but I do know she is imprisoned, that's where you are supposed to look for her; also send some delicious food to my manor enough for three grown-ups." She stood up and exited the hall as she walked back.
" Father, which princess is that?" Prince Wang Yike worriedly, inquired.
" She should be the Concubine your fifth brother married, but it has been years now, I don't know if she is still alive, I need you to attend to this matters soon, am afraid she isn't gonna let things go." He sighed lightly as he massaged the space in between his eyebrows.
"Alright Father." He responded as he walked away.
Lin Wei arrived at the manor and found Xiao Xue and Xie were resting, she cleaned herself and laid down on the bed resting, it's been a long journey.
King Wang was left alone with the eunuch, "Eunuch Li, I need you to look for every detail surrounding this said princess, we need to have every information of whatever happened, hurry up. " He instructed.
Eunuch Li nodded his head and marched out to fulfill his duties.
Since it was night time, everyone was already sleeping, but Scorpion and Eagle were going around inspecting to make sure that everyone inside the camp was safe.
They had walked into the Southern exit gate when they heard some whispering voices.
Scorpion frowned, everyone is supposed to be asleep by now. They walked light-footed as they approached them.
