Chapter 16: Banished To The Imperial Prisons (Part 2)

After Lou Xi Yan and Zhou Qing left, Yan Hong Tian’s eyes coldly swept to the female standing quietly by the door. The moonlight shone from behind her, casting a long shadow of her slender figure. Different from the initial look of hatred and revengeful, different from the prudent and trepidation that she just displayed. She stood there silently with an indifferent expression on her face. Yan Hong Tian hated that expression. She should be afraid, should feel lost, should be fearful but not indifferent!

“Gao Jing”

Gao Jing, who was always waiting by the door, respectfully replied, “Here.”

“Send someone to Hao Yue to verify the matter, if there was anything false in her statement, immediately execute her!” The heartless words were spoken by the ice cold voice but Yan Hong Tian was still unable to see a trace of panic on that face like he wanted.

“Yes.” Gao Jing quickly turn to Ming Ze, who was standing outside the hall, and said, “Send her to the Imperial Prison!”

Ming Ze hesitated for a bit and the guard beside her replied, “Yes.”

With her back straight, Qing Feng turned and strode out of the hall and did not even look at Yan Hong Tian, she only left him a proud isolated view of her back. A faint smile crosses his eyes, the Qing family sisters are quite interesting. If she is still alive when the truth of the matter is verified, he’d be interested to play with this sharp clawed kitten.

Three long shadows, one in front of the other, walked along the dark Palace road. Zis.h.i.+ (modern timing: 11pm – 1am) has pa.s.sed and the silence at the Palace Courtyard was far more bleak and dreadful. Except for the sound of rustling of the leaves cause by the blowing win, they could only hear one another breathing. Ming Ze slightly frowned. With his current martial arts abilities, it is not hard for him to hear that the breathing of the female in front of him is very rapid and disorderly. With her haphazard steps and gradually crooked shoulder, Ming Ze concluded that she has a problem.

Just as he expected, Qing Feng suddenly stop after taking a few steps. With one hand propped against the wall, she slowly squatted down. It was already late, thus the guard, who was escorting her with Ming Ze, impatiently step forward and kick the squatting QIng Feng before saying, “Walk faster, don’t play dead!”

The guard did not use much force but Qing Feng fell onto the floor and took a long time to stand up. Just as the guard wanted to kick her the second time, Ming Ze came forward and crouched beside her. Only seeing her already sick face, pale lips and gradually shorter breathe with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, Ming Ze frowned. She do not look like a sick person is normally like, but her current situation and ident.i.ty does not allow her to be treated by a physician.

The guard from behind urged lowly and Ming Ze seized Qing Feng’s arm to pull her up.

After Eldest Sister left the Imperial Palace safely, Qing Feng’s heart finally settled and now the pain in her lungs has reach to the point of unbearable. For her to leave the hall, she has already taken most of her energy up. Dry lips and scorching hot lungs made her wish that she has fainted so that the pain will not torment her any more. But the Heavens did not pity her even in such great pain, that made her tremble, her mind was still clear.

Her shoulders was suddenly gripped and the force behind it make Qing Feng recover her senses. When she looked up, she again saw that pair of indifferent but compa.s.sionate pair of eyes. Its him… That guard!

His back is still facing towards the moonlight, Qing Feng was unable to see his looksand she also did not have the mood to observe others. Even though she stood up, she could only lean again the Palace wall. There was a low sigh beside her ear when the guard suddenly reach his hands out, grabbed the back of her robes and pushed her forward. From other’s view, it seems that she was carried forward by the guard but in fact his other hand was holding her shoulder firmly and supported her when she walk.

Qing Feng was somewhat surprise. Why… Did he help her?
