Thump! Han Moze violently kicked the eunuch. Useless!
Cough cough! The eunuch coughed quietly a few times.
“Royal brother, Qing’er’s gone!” Han Moxi cried, as he rushed into the Dark Moon Palace.
The look on Han Moze’s face was covered with maliciousness. Oh clan leader of the Blood Feast, you’re so naughty!
But he predicted such a day could possibly come. “Leave, all of you!” He roared.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The eunuchs and palace maids immediately left. The emperor was really scary! Although he’s so handsome, he had such a terrible temper.
Han Moze opened the windows and stared beyond the palace with a demonic smile. “If you must blame anyone, then blame yourself for meeting me and for being just my taste in women. With you gone, who should I eat?”
Liu Rushuang delightfully fled to a low key courtyard, where she stayed with Qing’er in a very large room.
Qing’er looked over at Liu Rushuang and said in disbelief, “Young Miss, we actually escaped just like that?”
The corner of Liu Rushuang’s mouth twitched. “Don’t tell me you thought about being trapped in there for ten years before escaping?”
Then, she smiled affectionately at Qing’er and continued, “Or is that you’ve already fallen for Prince Hengan?”
Qing’er’s face looked clearly uncomfortable. “Noooo. Young Miss, don’t say that. I only ever think about staying beside you and taking care of you forever. I mean it!”
Mo Ye suddenly entered.
“Did you find out anything about Han Moze?” Liu Rushuang asked in a hurry, when she noticed Mo Ye.
Mo Ye furrowed his brows and said, “No. The emperor of Beiming didn’t send people to shut down the Blood Feast’s businesses.”
Liu Rushuang pulled a faint smile. “You may leave.”
“Yes, milady.”
“Young Miss, don’t tell me that the emperor really plans to find you?” asked Qing’er with furrowed brows.
Liu Rushuang silently pursed her lips. “Don’t tell you want that tyrant to find me?! It’s best if he doesn’t find me. Maybe he’s already annoyed with me and wants nothing more than for me to be gone. After we finish dinner, let’s head back to Blood Feast headquarters.”
“Alright, Young Miss,” said Qing’er with a joyful smile.
The next day, Liu Rushuang suddenly felt an immense pain in her heart whilst mid-route on a horse.
Thump!
She fell off her horse.
Qing’er was left seriously stunned and immediately stopped her horse. She ran over to Liu Rushuang’s side and worriedly cried, “Young Miss, wh-what’s wrong?”
“H-h-hurry and t-t-take me to f-find th-that t-tyrant!”
Liu Rushuang laid on the floor with an extremely pale face and endless cold sweat dripping down from her head.
“Okay okay, Young Miss. You have to keep it together!” Qing’er immediately carried Liu Rushuang up and put her on the horse.
Then, she rode back.
It felt like something was biting onto her heart. The pain was excruciating!
That tyrant! How truly despicable!
Qing’er saw just how dizzy Liu Rushuang was. “Young Miss, you have to hold on!”
In the evening, Qing’er took Liu Rushuang to the palace gates. “Please pass a message on to the emperor. Tell him that Her Majesty the Empress has returned.”
The shadow guard hesitated for a moment, when Wuxin and Wuqing emerged from the shadows, kneeled and respectfully cried, “Hail Her Majesty the Empress.”
The startled bodyguard on gate duty immediately kneeled. “Hail Her Majesty the Empress.”
It really was the empress! But why was the empress outside and what was she doing out in the middle of the night?
Liu Rushuang let out a weak and very quiet voice, “T-take… me back inside.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Wuxin and Wuqin took Liu Rushuang and Qing’er through a straight path with no obstructions and back to the Dark Moon Palace.
