Chapter 240 - 240. Princess Li's Wish
Chapter 240 – 240. Princess Li’s Wish
Now the atmosphere of the kingdom is starting to get crowded again, it is caused by the princes who will return to their respective kingdoms.
Likewise with Prince Shen Zue. After accompanying his sister around for a while, he decided to say goodbye to the king.
Because it would be unethical for him who was invited to the Zu kingdom and suddenly leave without a word.
It is now noon. The sound of a horse carriage filled the courtyard of the royal palace.
"Forgive the unpleasant incident while you were in this kingdom," Emperor Fu Qing apologized to Prince Shen Zue.
"There is no need to apologize Your Majesty. It was an accident," replied Prince Shen Zu, while Princess Li who was right next to him remained silent.
"Give my regards to your father. Tell him to visit here occasionally," said the king of the Zu kingdom again.
"Ah yes, regarding the matchmaking. I thought…"
"I've forgotten it, Your Majesty, don't worry about me," Prince Shen Zu suddenly cut in his polite tone.
"Hmm… okay. You guys be careful on the road," replied Emperor Fu Qing with a rough sigh.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," said Prince Shen Zu, followed by his younger sister, Princess Li.
The smile on the middle-aged man's lips did not fade until Prince Shen Zu and his younger sister disappeared from his sight. They were also the last guests to leave the royal palace.
Walking towards the palace gates, Shen Zue's steps stopped when he saw Princess Fu Xie Lan walking towards him from the opposite direction.
"Good afternoon princess," Prince Shen Zue greeted while smiling at the girl. The corner of his eye accidentally collided with that of the silver masked man who was also next to her.
"Good afternoon," replied Fu Xie Lan in the friendliest voice possible.
"Sorry, yesterday I didn't have time to attend the Princess's event, I was a little unwell," said the Prince.
"It's fine," Fu Xie replied casually.
"Then we will say goodbye, princess," said the man withdrew.
As for princess Li, since earlier, her gaze had never left the man next to Fu Xie Lan. Somehow she found a special interest in the man.
Fu Xie Lan, who saw that the two figures had only noded, resumed walking. Towards the residence of her Father, Emperor Fu Qing who might be in his pavilion.
The girl was not alone but with Gu Yi, while the others, ever since Fu Xie Lan woke up from her sleep, for the first time she didn't found they all did stand and wait for her in front of the bedroom door as usual.
Fu Xie Lan didn't want to think too much about it, and she knew about what she was going to do today.
She shouldn't stay and relax too long in human territory, while the silver blood moon is getting closer.
If she doesn't get any more clues, that means she'll have to find them herself. No matter how because there is no way she just resigned herself to waiting for her death to come.
Even if in the end she didn't manage to collect all the ruby star stone pieces until the silver blood moon happened, but at least she tried her best.
"Don't be in a hurry, Queen. You'll fall later," Gu Yi suddenly spoke up because she didn't notice how fast her pace was.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Prince Shen Zue and Princess Li were already outside the gates of the royal palace.
"Brother, who was the man that Princess Fu Xie Lan was with just now?" asked Princess Li suddenly and managed to make the prince turn to her.
"Why?" replied the man.
"I-I think I like it," she said bluntly.
"You'd better put your thoughts away, Princess."
"Why? what's wrong if I like him?" asked the woman.
"He is Princess Fu Xie Lan's husband," Prince Shen Zue curtly replied. Even though he didn't attend his ex-fiancé's wedding, it didn't mean he couldn't find out who Fu Xie Lan's husband was.
Just seeing the way the man looked at and treated Fu Xie Lan, made him already guess who he was to the girl. Yes, even if it's just a glimpse.
"Her husband? Really?" said Princess Li who was immediately nodded by Shen Zue.
A harsh sigh escaped her lips. "It's the first time I like a guy like this, Brother. Hmm, it turns out that he's already married to another girl. Ahh."
"Maybe, I can accept being his concubine," she added.
And at the same time, Prince Shen Zue immediately glared at his younger sister.
"Don't talk carelessly, Princess."
"I'm not joking, Brother. I'm serious," replied Princess Li looking very serious.
"You'd better get rid of that thought, you know he is a figure very much different from us who are humans.
"Huh?"
"He's a wizard, Princess Li. Princess Fu Xie Lan's husband is a wizard.
"Wizard? So, that news about several wizards who saved everyone in the Zu royal palace, one of them is him?" asked the woman feeling very curious.
Prince Shen Zue only nodded his head in response to his sister's question.
"So what if he's a wizard, Big Brother?"
"Wouldn't it be very interesting if I became one of his wives?" said Princess Li smiling.
"After all, who would survive with just a woman, big brother? I haven't seen such a thing in my entire life."
"So, maybe there's still a chance for me to be one of his wives? Ahh, he's handsome," she added without realizing that her cheeks were already blushing.
"I can set you up with the Prince of another kingdom, Princess. Why the man?" Prince Shen Zue asked.
"I don't like him, Brother. I just want Fu Xie Lan's husband, I want Fu Xie Lan's daughter's husband. I'm even willing to be one of his concubines," the woman replied with a determined sentence.
"But it's very dangerous, Princess. Marrying a wizard is very different from a marriage that is only done with humans like us," Prince Shen Zue said at length.
"I don't care, Big Brother. My wish is just simple. Wanting to be that man's wife, I liked him from the first time I saw him."
"I've never felt anything like this before, Big Brother," Princess Li added back.
Hearing his younger brother's words, Prince Shen Zue heaved a harsh sigh.
"Hmm well, if that's your wish, you should tell His Majesty the King, yes, maybe Father can help a little."
"Brother doesn't mind, right? If I just become that man's concubine?" Princess Li asked with a smile which Prince Shen Zue immediately nodded.
"Yaashh." With a movement that looks very energetic. As usual, the woman never played with her words.
Princess Li's radiant face made it easy for anyone who saw her guess that she was in a good mood.
The two figures were in the same horse carriage. The horse that Princess Li rode earlier disappeared.
