Days Of Future Past 2

Eternal Love of Dream Chapter 32

In the morning Xuanren knew it was time to show Xiao Jiu the sacred Stone. He trusted her with everything in him, because something inside of him swore that she was his soulmate. He had never believed in that before, all he would dare to hope for was to marry for love. 'This goes beyond love.'

He sent a light breakfast for Xiao Jiu, because the plan was for them to ride in a carriage to the royal tomb where the stone was secretly kept. Only himself and his father knew the exact location, now only he knew. After he dressed, he went to Xiao Jiu's Palace.

Xuanren waited outside for her to walk out. When she walked out, he saw that Xiao Jiu was in a beautiful light pink dress. She had two beautiful pins in her long hair, that he had chosen himself.

Fengjiu knew today was the day Xuanren wanted to show her the Soul- Locking Jade. The mortals didn't know the full importance of this Jade, which is why it belonged in the Immortal realms.

She looked at Xuanren when she stepped out of the Palace and smiled at him. Fengjiu knew he was already in love with her, he didn't hide it, unlike his immortal self. A second later he reached for her arm and pulled her close to him. He stated, "You look beautiful Furen."

She smiled at him. "You look handsome, Your Majesty." And he did, with his White robe that was tied with a purple belt. She loved that he was similar in some ways to him immortal self. It brought her comfort. 

Remembering that they would be visiting Jieyu Wan before they left, she stalled. "Where are we going, Your Majesty?"

Xuanren stroked her arm. "I am taking you outside the palace to a very important place."

He was about to explain when his Chief Eunuch came forward. He bowed, "Informing Your Majesty, someone from Wanyun Palace came to report that Jieyu Wan has been sick for several days."

He felt a small rush of sympathy, and it made him feel bad that he had a more severe reaction to Xiao Jiu and not Jieyu Wan. "She is sick?"

Fengjiu wanted to stay as close to the original mortal trial as possible. "Since she is sick, we should go visit her."

Xuanren sighed to himself. 'She is sick..and I am responsible for her...At least Xiao Jiu will be going with me.' He stated out loud, "Alright, let's go."

On the way, he called upon his personal royal physician. When they arrived to Jieyu Wan's place, they were announced and Jieyu Wan's maid bowed.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," Jieyu Wan stated. "Forgive me for not being able get down from my bed and bow."

Fengjiu looked at her and knew she was suffering from rebound magic, and wondered what Jieyu Wan had done to get this sick.

Xuanren shook his head. "It's alright. I heard you were sick. Xiao Jiu and I were both worried, so we came to visit you." He thought to himself, 'Seeing her like this...I never assumed she would be this pale and sickly. Xiao Jiu is the only reason I came.' He sighed to himself.

Fengjiu smiled lightly and felt sympathetic towards the demon. "Sister, do you feel better?"

Jieyu Wan looked saddened. "Thank you for your concerns. Just a minor illness. I'm sorry that I caused you and Furen Jiu to worry."

Xuanren nodded at her. "I brought Royal Physician Hu to check you."

Fengjiu watched on as the Physician felt Jieyu Wan's pulse and seemed puzzled, as he was in the past mortal realm. He reported the same issue as before. Her pulse was strange. Fengjiu knew if he had felt her pulse, she would have come across as strange too. Even when she wasn't sick.
