Chapter 10
The Injury and his Majesty's Care
The Ninth princess of the Chen country stood tall, erect.
Recently there's a prophecy spreading in the Chen country. According to it, when the emperor was travelling Incognito, he met a Taoist Priest. The priest told him that if the emperor could find a chosen one with special fate, and give him to the emperor of the Ming country, the Chen country would become a superpower overnight. And the ninth princess would become the most honorable woman in the world.
So, in order to find this chosen one, the ninth princess and the emperor nearly turned the whole Chen country over.
Wei Ying--
A few days ago I heard that the chosen one had been found. Could it be.... am I the chosen one with special fate that the ninth princess was looking for all this time?
She wants to..... To give me to the emperor of the Ming country?!
Wei Ying uttered, bewildered--
" But I..... I am a man!
Ninth Princess -- You deserve the title of the choose one. Your face is so beautifu. Even comparable to me, the most beautiful woman in the Chen country.
However, this face of yours is enough. You will go to the Ming country on a peaceful marriage mission in my stead. Your pretty face will not disgrace me at least.
Wei Ying-- Princess, you should know my position. I am but a slave.
And I am a man....
How can I.... How can I....
Ninth Princess,smiled.
" You are a man, so what? Rumour has it that the emperor of the Ming country does not like women. I send him a man, which might be what he really wants. Moreover....
As a Slave, do you have the right to resist my arrangement? "
Wei Ying clenched his fists. This was insulting beyond limit, but he had no choice. He knew that.
Ninth princess laughed cruelly.
" I suggest that you behave yourself. I remember you have a mother and two younger brothers?
Wei Ying was anxious immediately. He stammered.
"Who..... What are you going to do to them?"
Ninth Princess smirked in Triumph. The chess is in her court. She was satisfied with her planning.
" If you do what I say, I will do nothing to them. And I will treat them well...
But if you do not listen to me..." She smiled crookedly, " I will have them killed, along with you.
Wei Ying who was bound by ropes, hung his head and whispered helplessly, " I...I will go on this peaceful marriage mission for you princess. Please spare my family.
Well, you are a good kid who understands the situation. As long as you work for me, I will never treat them badly.
BACK TO THE PRESENT:--
Wei Ying was lost in his thoughts.
Emperor Lan Wangji was observing Wei Ying carefully and Wei Ying's silence gave him a different impression about the situation.
Lan Wangji thought:--
Is it really that painful? You look like you have been in a trance because of the pain. I did not feel so much pain even when suffering severe wounds on the battlefield.
