The Princess And The Lord

Mong Yi has already peeked at the situation and their Lord is in the middle of having a good time so he won't be stupid enough to spoil their Lord moment, even though the young madam usually forgives them but their Lord isn't the same, Mong Yi is afraid instead Zhao Li Xin give him punishment he would end up giving him an annoying task to teach him a lesson.

But the housekeeper was in dilemma now, the eunuch sent by the crown prince had visited their Manor for urgent matters, and the housekeeper had no choice but to allow them to come because they were imperial envoys so he couldn't refuse them like any other guest.

Besides the crown prince and the Hei, Shen sect had a pretty good relationship so the housekeeper didn't dare look down on them. 

"Luckily Mr. Wu Zhi Xiao visited our residence so I could ask him for help to accompany the crown prince's envoy, for now." The housekeeper patted her chest in relief, it was only natural for the Housekeeper to drop the task on Wu Zhi Xiao because he couldn't rely on Hei Shen Kings Palace, even if they were here.

Who should he ask? Mister Jin Hao would bluntly say 'No', Mister Jiang Jin Wei is too stiff and he is not good at small talk, Mister Bei Li Yan is a bit strange You can't guess what he would do and Mister Wu San Bo…. The housekeeper was worried that Wu San Bo would rob the eunuch instead.

Forget it, if Master Long Ming didn't order them himself, they wouldn't have listened.

Mong Yi understands the housekeeper's difficulties, it is no exaggeration that serving Zhao Li xin is more difficult than serving the Emperor because there is no one who is more unruly than his Lord, "Fine, you serve the Crown Prince envoys with respect meanwhile I will ask milord what to do" 

"Yes, Understood master Mong, thank you very much!" The housekeeper looked relieved after shifting the work at Mong Yi and his whole face really shone with joy and then he rushed into the main hall.

"Hump, he ran so fast" Mong Yi was annoyed but had no place to vent, he scratched the back of his head while thinking when the right time to disturb his Lord, Mong Yi sighed heavily, he felt rather regretful. 

"Who is running?"

"Uwaa, madam!" Mong Yi jumped backward when Lory suddenly came from behind. 

"Something happened?" Lory asked casually. 

Mong Yi quickly gather himself then cupped his fist courteously "The crown prince envoy has come to the Manor, young madam"

"Is there any problem?" Lory frowned, he thought the problem was over. 

"They finally came…?" Zhao Li Xin snickered.

Lory turned her gaze to Zhao Li Xin, "Do you know why they are here?" he asked curiously.

Zhao Li Xin wrapped her arm around Lory's shoulder, immediately her coldness disappeared as she spoke at Lory, "I'm sure the crown prince would asked us for help, maybe because he thought we know something about Lao Min Na"

Lory was surprised, "It's about Lao Min Na, what happened?" 

"Something happened with the Queen Dowager," said Zhao Li Xin

"What is going on?" her interest suddenly piqued. 

"Do you remember that Lao Min Na helped the Queen Dowager treat her old illness, recently the old lady has gone nuts." Zhao Li Xin chuckled lightly as if he had heard a good joke.

Lory's eyes widened as she became anxious, "I thought the crown prince had stopped everyone from taking Lao Min Na pills, what happened, and what about the emperor?"

Zhao Li Xin's brows furrowed, he doesn't understand why Lory needs to be worried about the Queen dowager since the old woman doesn't treat Lory well. Yes, Zhao Li Xin still holds grudges against the Queen dowager and empress, unlike Lory he is not easy to forgive. 

"The emperor is fine, apart from exhaustion, he doesn't feel anything bad but it's not the same with the queen dowager, Maybe she's addicted to Lao Min Na drugs or something so she can't stop to consumed Lao Min Na pills, inevitably her condition is much worse than the Emperor" 

"Yes, young lady, I heard that the Empress Dowager attacked the emperor and after that, she became paranoid and attacked everyone nearby, they had no other choice but to tie her up and lock her in her chamber," said Mong Yi. 

"It only gets worse if it's not treated," muttered Lory. 

Is this one of Lazarus' power? Zhao Li Xin asked.

Lory nodded "In order for Lazarus to control humans or beasts he has to make them accept a part of him voluntarily, it doesn't matter whether they realize it or not but the point is they open themselves for Lazarus to come in, and there's nothing better than receiving Lazarus's own blood, but if they only consume a little Lazarus 'blood in a short time there is still a way to help them recover but if they consume Lazarus' blood for a long time... it will be troublesome " 

"Young Madam, apart from the Empress Dowager there are also other people who have the same condition as the Queen Dowager and many of them come from influential and wealthy families that accept Lao Min Na service, that's why the Crown Prince and Emperor are getting restless" Mong Yi added another report. 

"We have to hurry then" Lory bit her nails impatiently. 

"Lory, if you can help, then you can help but if it puts too much burden on your health, I hope you don't overreact." Knowing her reckless behavior Zhao Li Xin gave her an early warning. 

Lory's mouth twitched, "Why can you trust me?" 

"As long as you pay attention to my words" he smiled slyly.

Lory rolled her eyes, but she admits that she is not good at listening to other people's words, "Fine but I have to go back to Chang Yi Forest first, the land needs serious cleaning or it will destroy the entire ecosystem in that place." 

"Tell the eunuch we will visit the imperial palace after we return from Chang Yi forest," said Zhao Li Xin. 

"Understood master." Mong Yi cupped his fists and bowed his head politely before he left. 

[Girsha!] Lory raised her hand and then a white bird the size of Goshawk flew down and perched on Lory's arm. 

[We have work to do ..] Lory grinned. 

[No kidding, that damn demon left a lot of mess!] Girsha snorted in annoyance, she could feel the residue of dark miasma in the direction of Chang Yi's forest.

Lory exhales a deep sigh [Yes, but I'm afraid this isn't the worst or the last of her, I got the feeling that he's just getting started] 

[Tck..that's true]

Zhao Li Xin feels a little left out whenever Girsha and Lory discuss in their native language, maybe he needs to learn the language too "So what's your decision, Your Majesty?" Zhao Li Xin's voice was low and deep even better than professional voice actors, it instantly made her face flush red like a boiling crab. 

"Let go to chang Yi forest now!" he pretended to be calm while rubbing his red cheeks.

Zhao Li Xin smile grew wider "Sure, but it's faster using flying beast than carriage"

"But we can't use Girsha," Lory patted her chin with her finger as she pondered.

"Yes, you humans always make noise whenever I come, so annoying!" Girsha spoke as if she had been wronged, but who wouldn't be afraid if they saw a bird bigger than an airplane flying above her head. 

"I wonder why?" Lory commented sarcastically. 

"…." Girsha and Lory end up doing a staring contest at each other.

Zhao Li Xin who was used to their friendly bickering so he ignores them, he took out a silver whistle from his sleeve then slowly blow the whistle, not long after a white crane flew towards them from the distance, even though it looked like a crane but it was actually much bigger and had wings that were wider compared to ordinary Storks, the beast was called Bing Fang although it was not a rare beast but very useful for traveling through the air. 

"I think we can't ride Girsha to Chang Yi forest, how about we use this beast instead," Zhao Li Xin said and the beast Bing fang landed smoothly in front of Zhao Li Xin. 

"Ohh, what a cute crane!~" Lory face lit up as she gingerly walks to the crane.

"Hump, weakling!" Girsha scoffed.

"Hush!" Lory silenced Girsha, compared to Girsha all the other birds looked so gentle and shy in her eyes that Lory didn't want accidentally scare them, Lory carefully stroked the bird's head, immediately the crane lowered her head then snuggle his head on Lory's hand. "So cute!" Lory squeal excitedly. 

"BootLicker!" Girsha glared at the poor bird, the intimidation from the first kind almost made the crane collapse but luckily Lory rebuked Girsha "Don't do that, you scared the poor bird!" 

"Hump!" Girsha raises his beak arrogantly, he doesn't care that Lory is intimate with other humans but he doesn't like it if Lory is close to other beasts especially birds. who knows if this is a strange competition between birds.

But Lory doesn't know about this, Lory shakes her head and wails inwardly, turn out not only humans become strange even ma beast also got weirder when they get older, Lory pursed her lips as she ignores Girsha's antique then she looks at Zhao Li Xin with a bright smile. Let's go ! " 

"En" he nodded then help Lory to climb the bird after that he sits behind Lory then circle his arms around her waist to protect her from falling, even though that impossible with Girsha around.
