EMPRESS LIU

~FORTY-FIVE~

Liu Changsheng was stunned standing at the door of the room not being able to enter.

On the other hand the sect master of Yinghu, the young cheerful maiden was enthusiastically paying her respectful greetings to the Wangye and Wangfei.

"Greetings Wangye, greetings Xiang Wangfei."

But Liu Changsheng was still unbelievably still. He remembered the words this woman said to him in the other lifetime. But still the fear he lived with for seven years in the fourth prince's palace was undeniably fixated in his mind like a stone statue.

"Shengsheng?"

"Zhuren!"

Two voices calling him at the same time brought him back out of his trance.

The cheerful woman was confused by the gaze of the Wangfei. She didn't think much of it. But she didn't know why the Wangfei had to glare at her like she's wronged him.

"The Wangfei probably isn't liking my presence this early in the morning. Qingqing, I will take my leave." And no one objected.

Liu Changsheng was too stunned to reply and Hong Daqing was confused and concerned about his husband.

When having breakfast the husband couldn't help but ask.

"Shengsheng. What happened in the outer courtyard, do you want to talk about it? You can talk to your Lao gong about it."

"Wangye. I don't know myself what happened. For a moment my last life flashed so clearly in front of my eyes. As if she was here as the concubine again,paying respect to the zhuren of the house. She used to be that cheerful before the assassination of the mother empress.

"Wangye. You will save her right? You will not let grandma die right?

"I cannot let everything happen again."

The Xiang Wang looks at his Wangfei slowly fall into tremor of the past not being able to control himself. He couldn't help but bring Liu Changsheng to the bedroom. But Liu Changsheng was still stuck in the trance. Hong Daqing couldn't bring him out no matter how hard he tried.

"Shengsheng? Shengsheng? What's wrong? Shengsheng, can you hear me?" He looks at the two brown eyes of his husband and couldn't find the real person anywhere in there. "Li gonggong. Li gonggong! Bring the royal physician. Fast."

Seeing Liu Changsheng lose consciousness in his arms, Hong Daqing couldn't help but be scared of his health.

Instantly the fourth prince's palace guards brought the royal physician in as silently as possible.

After checking the Wangfei's pulse the royal physician went to the side to talk to the fourth prince privately.

"Your highness, I would ask some questions that I need honest answers. Those are important for me to diagnose the Wangfei's health situation."

Xiang Wang just nods. In this situation he couldn't hide anything on the pretext of protecting one's privacy.

"The Wangfei's mental condition is very weak. He's scared of everything. Is there anything that may have happened in this timespan to get him this scared?"

Hong Daqing didn't know how to tell the royal physician that Liu Changsheng was scared of the mother empress's assassination without revealing the fact of his rebirth. But for his health he had to reveal something. He couldn't risk something happening to Liu Changsheng again.

"He was suspecting a potential assassination."

"Is it someone close to him?"

The old man's curious eyes had no judgement in it. It was pure concern for his patient.

"It is."

"Then, this subject would require your highness to ask him to talk more about it. His highness is suppressing a lot of concern in his heart. And that pressure is affecting his meridians.

"If you don't mind me intruding, your highnesses consummated your marriage last night?"

The fourth prince nods again.

"The rigorous night might have affected his highness's meridians. I prescribe him to rest for the day. And if possible, your highness should be there with him. If he wants to go out, take him. But not much work."

The physician was securely sent back to his courtyard, while the Xiang Wang went back to his bed chamber to accompany his Wangfei.

He knew it would take long but he only realised how long it will take after the Wangfei woke up from his slumber.

"Wangye!"

"Shengsheng. It's okay. You're alright. I'm here."

His lost eyes said enough about the pain he was going through in his heart. But there's nothing more he could do to help his beloved in reducing the pain. Because if he could he would take the eighteen year old's all the pain away. But he wasn't reborn. Only Liu Changsheng was. And only he knew what he faced. Only he could stop everything from repeating again.

There was an option of destroying the portal that is Xuehui. But if Liu Changsheng does this before his seventh meridian is fully matured, the risk of him losing his life is even greater than the future being bleak.

So before that they can only endure, and do everything they can to stop things from happening for the worse.

The fourth prince haven't known yet the immense amount of pain Liu Changsheng has gone through. Before that another hard thunder hit the Xiang Wangfei sending him back to his panicked situation.

It was around fifteen days after the Xiang Wang's marriage. He was in the court that day to present for his father-in-law's turmoil issues when a surprise visitor has entered the fourth prince's palace.

A big storm was going to upheaval the life of the two love birds.

But right now the Xiang Wangfei was talking to his Li meimei from the first prince's harem. The person he helped save.

His head eunuch Li gonggong announced the arrival of a visitor at the outer courtyard. And at the same time a shadow guard entered the room through the window.

"Your highness, Xiang Wangfei, it's marquis Luo Guang. And he has brought the iron guards. So I think his intentions are not pure. I'll accompany you. And Zhong Wangfei. I want you to leave from here. I have my people waiting outside to send you back safely."

The cheerful maiden very actively controls the situation but in the middle of it all, one person was stunned by the mention of a certain name. Because once was enough. He didn't want another encounter with that man.

"Third marquis Luo Guang?"

The Xiang Wangfei Liu Changsheng's words attracts the attention of everyone present in the room. And surprises them all.

For the first time they saw a confident and strong Liu Changsheng shivering in fear.

Hello pandas! I'm back again! My life was hectic these few days! I kept getting in and out of house to help people! And then I suddenly had to catch a cold! And as if that wasn't enough, I hurt my already under medication left hand!

But anyway! I got some time off and I remembered I have a story to update! So here I am!
