Young Miss Please Don’t Run - Chapter 39 Chapter 039
After hearing what imperial doctor Chen had said, the emperor is furious!
“Guards! Guards!” The emperor is screaming for his guards to come in.
“We are here, your majesty!” A couple of the guards rush inside the room, one of the guards kneed down and replies to the emperor.
“I want that horrible Eunuch Li killed immediately. Killed him as soon as you see him, I don’t ever want to see him again!” the emperor roared.
The guards immediately left to look for Eunuch Li. When they found him, they killed him on the spot. Till the very moment he died, he had no idea what had happened. The guards then report back to the emperor and told him Eunuch Li has been executed. The emperor then looked at imperial doctor Chen. For an emperor to be infertile, it is the royal family embarrassment. Since the doctor knows about it, he can’t leave here alive.
The emperor gave a look to the guard with killing intent, he then looks at the doctor. The guard immediately knew what the emperor wants to do. Without warning, the guard picks up his sword and stabbed doctor Chen to death. The look on doctor Chen’s face is full of disbelief, he had no idea the Emperor wanted him to die too! He died with his eyes opened while looking at Concubine Din.
Concubine Din let out a small scream, then looked at the emperor. She then knees down and didn’t say a word. The emperor helps her up and hold her in his arms.
“My Love, don’t be scare. I will never harm you, but you have to make sure this will never leak out to others.” The emperor warns her while holding her tight against his body.
“Your majesty, I understand. I can never betray you, you are my everything.” Concubine Din leans against the emperor’s body and replied in a soft voice. The emperor just hold her close to him, he didn’t see the look on her face. Her face has a crooked smile on it, everything just went as she had planned. Both Eunuch Li and imperial doctor Chen are gone, no one will ever know her secrets!
A few more years have past and the seventh prince is going to turn 8 years old soon. The prince not only have a very beautiful handsome face but is also very smart and strong! He is so perfect that the Emperor is considering making him the crown prince. The Empress and Concubine Liu are feeling the pressure, they can’t let the seventh prince grow any more than this, he and his mother have to die!
The assassins sneaked into the room where both the concubine and the seventh prince was in. Those two were talking when suddenly the assassins appeared. The seventh prince might be talented and strong, but he is still only an 8-year-old child. He was no match for the assassins that are coming for his life.
At this point, Concubine Din is scared senseless. When she saw a big knife coming toward her, she didn’t even think twice and use her son to block the knife. Just when the knife was about to cut into the seventh prince, someone came out to rescue him. It was one of the hidden guards that Nan Meng-Gi have left behind.
Concubine Din dropped the young seventh prince when she noticed someone came out to save them. Just as she let go of the seventh prince, his head was hit against the corner of a table and have lost consciousness. The hidden guards only came out to save the seventh prince, so they pay no attention to Concubine Din at all. Concubine Din ends up getting killed by one of the assassins. But all the remaining assassins have been killed by the two hidden guards.
When the seventh prince woke up, he saw tons of bodies and one of them was his concubine mother. But he had no tears in his eyes, he wasn’t close to his mother. Even though his mother had treated him very well, but she has never really tried to get close to him. So when her mother used him as a shield to block the knife, his heart turned cold.
“Young Master.”
The 7th prince follows the voice and turns to look at the man that has just spoken, he’s a man in his early twenties.
“Who are you, and why are you calling me young master?” The seventh prince has no expression at all, he looked like an expressionless broken doll.
“Young Master, my name is Gao Sing. I’m the hidden guard that was left behind by your real mother to protect you,” the man replies honestly.
“My real mother?” He then looks at the lifeless body of Concubine Din.
“Young Master, that evil woman is not your real mother. Your real mother is someone more superior than anyone in this world.” Gao Sing then tells him about his true identity and what had happened all these years.
After listening to Gao Sing’s stories, he doesn’t know what to think of his real family. But one thing he knows for sure and that is he’s currently not safe yet. With the love that emperor had for him, there will be more people coming after his life. He can’t go back to his real family yet and the seal in his body has not been broken.
They then came up with a plan that he has hurt his head and will have mental disorders. Concubine Din is already dead and with his mess up mentality, no one should be bothering him anymore. Soon, the palace guards have found the living quarters of concubine Din to be awfully quiet. They went to check it out and was shocked to see the scene. There were bodies everywhere, they were shocked to see the corpse of Concubine Din. They knew there’s going be trouble with the Emperor now, they have to find the seventh prince if they want to live.
After searching for an hour, they found the 7th prince under the bed with a head injury. Of course, this was all planned out so that they won’t be too suspicious of why the seventh prince is still alive. He was hidden under the bed so the assassins didn’t find him. But there was no way to explain why all the assassins are dead, and he doesn’t have to since he hurt his head and have forgotten what had happened.
The Emperor was devastated when he learned of his beloved concubine Din has been killed. He was even more devastated when he heard from the imperial doctor that his most beloved son had injured his head and will have a mental disorder. He then investigates those assassins and found out they were from the Empress home country. But he couldn’t do anything about it since the Empress’s home country is bigger and stronger than his, so he’s afraid to ask for justice. All he can do is to ground the Empress for a while.
The seventh prince learned of the Empress’s punishment and was very disappointed in his so-called father. Somehow, he’s glad that this useless man isn’t his real father. He didn’t want a man that is scared to get justice for his mother and himself as his father. The seventh prince slowly builds up his own power and with the help from the two hidden guards that his mother has left behind for him, it went very smoothly.
He soon made a name for himself in the underworld as the Ghost King. He trained very hard and has become very strong, so strong that the seal in his body broke. After the seal is broken, his true form shows up and his training are 10x faster than before. In order to hide his true appearance, he has to conceal his power and strength.
It was peaceful for a very long time until the appearance of Ba Yue. With the emperor arranged the engagement between Ba Yue and his favorite seventh prince, everything starts up once again. Even though the eldest prince already have a wangfei and already have his own children. The emperor had no plans to pass on the throne to the eldest prince. Concubine Liu also worries about the throne, that’s why she wants the second prince to marry quickly to have his own children.
The reason for that was because the emperor once mentions that the child of Ba Yue and Lok Son will be will smart and strong, just like how the seventh prince used to be. The emperor is still young, so he’s probably going to be in his throne for a lot longer. The two women are worried that the emperor will pass on the throne directly to the grandchildren instead of his own children.
If that’s the case, then they have to get rid of the seventh prince before he gets married to Ba Yue. Ba Yue is beautiful, strong and most important of all, she’s the only young miss of the Ba family! Her family is one of the big four families of this country, not only that but every member of the Ba family is strong! If the emperor is really going to pass the throne to anyone, it will most likely be the seventh prince’s offspring. With the love the emperor had for this youngest son, they had no doubt about it.
Back to the present, Lok Son has already finished off the assassins. There are too many bodies for them to hide, so the best option is to leave this area and go look for Ba Yue. Lok Son gave instruction for Gao Sing to get more people to come here to clean up the scene, while he walked toward the direction where Ba Yue have gone to look for her.
On Ba Yue’s side, she has just finished picking the herbs she needs and the Han sisters also hunted a few small rabbits and chickens. They are walking back to where Lok Son is, but have no idea that the whole time that they are picking herbs and hunting, there were many pairs of eyes looking at them. That is until Ba Yue noticed something strange.
She noticed that it’s awfully quiet here, even though this is the forest, it shouldn’t be this quiet. And she also noticed a few very light footprints that were not there before when they passed by earlier. She walked closed to the Hans sisters and gave them an eye signal to look over there on the ground where the light footprints are. The Han sisters immediately understand what Ba Yue is trying to tell them.
They pretended not to see anything and continue walking. Before long, Little Red has come back and he immediately jumps into Ba Yue’s arms. Ba Yue also noticed something strange about Little Red, she can smell strong blood scent coming from his fur. She didn’t want to open her mouth to ask him because she’s unsure if she’s being followed or not.
Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard in her head. It’s Little Red’s voice! But how can she hear him talk when he didn’t even open his mouth? As if he knows what’s she thinking, he then said, “Young Master, we have a soul contract. We can communicate with our soul and mind, as long as we are not too far of a distance from each other, we can still talk to each other.”
“Oh, I see! Why didn’t you tell me that earlier?” Ba Yue replies with her mind.
“I thought you knew,” Little Red Signed. He can’t believe this master of his knows nothing at all.
“How would I know? I grew up in this world and never made any contract with any beast.” Ba Yue is getting a little annoyed at Little Red’s attitude.
“Anyway, young master. There seem to be many people hidden in the shadows. I have already taken care of some before returning, but there’s still some more behind you. What do you want to do?” Little Red is trying to change the subject, he didn’t want his master to be mad at him.
“What! You have already taken care of some of them! How’s their strength and what level are they?”
“Well, for me they are nothing but tiny weak ants. But for you, it might be tough on you.”
Ba Yue really wants to throw Little Red away, but she has to stay calm, well at least for now.
“Your point? You want to say that I’m so weak that I can’t take of these people?”
“No, young master. I don’t mean it like that at all.”
“Just tell me what’s their level and strength.”
“The people that I have taken care of have very high martial art skills, and most of them are element user of orange level or higher.”
