Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Chapter 646  I am Miaoran [Bonus chapter]

Three men, who looked like the guards of a household, approached Feng Lao and asked him if he saw a woman running away.

"I did," Feng Lao said.

"Where did she head to?" The middle one asked.

"To the north," Feng Lao lied about the direction to them. The three of them ran to the way Feng Lao told them. Once they disappeared from his sight, he went to the way where the woman had headed to.

The young woman's leg gave up. She had not eaten anything for three days. She halted to take a rest for a while. Her hold on her cloth bag tightened and she caught her breath.

Her head was aching badly because of the blow she got on her head. Her eyes were gradually closing, but she shook her head since she could not sleep.

After five minutes, she was ready to leave but the wound on her right leg did not let her. She fell to the ground and took heavy breaths. Pushing her rugged skirt up, she found the wound had opened up. The bleeding was intense on it.

"Miss, are you alright?" Feng Lao asked and got on her knees. She quickly pushed her skirt down and stood up. "I sent those three men in the other direction," he asserted while panting.

"Thank you," the young woman said and decided to go ahead with her limped foot.

"Miss, you are injured and it is late at night. The curfew will start soon. If the soldiers see you, they will send you back to those people" Feng Lao stated.

She was terrified to hear that. However, the young woman shook her head since she could not trust anyone, especially men.

"In this state, the young miss will not be able to cover a large distance. I know trusting an unknown man at night time is difficult, but if I had to harm you, I would have done by now," Feng Lao stated. "Those three men may find you soon. It is better to hide from them now," he humbly said.

The young woman contemplated for a few seconds and then agreed to go with Feng Lao. He didn't harm her either and only helped her even though he should not be concerned about it.

They started to walk when Feng Lao noticed her limping walk. He asked her if she would like to get on his back to which she shook her head.

Feng Lao didn't say anything and after half an hour reached the residence. The guards at the entrance bowed to see Feng Lao and looked at the woman.

Feng Lao held her arm gently and helped her in ascending the stairs. As they entered the front yard, Feng Lao let go of her arm and heard Jingfei's voice.

"Where were you?" Jingfei stopped speaking further as she saw a woman with Feng Lao. Jingfei walked to them and asked him who the woman was.

"Even I do not know. I wanted to help since she was being chased by three men," Feng Lao said.

"Oh. That's bad. What's your name?" Jingfei asked the young woman.

"I am Miaoran."

"Miaoran, come with me. Feng Lao will bring the physician with him," Jingfei said and placed her arm around Miaoran's back.

"At this hour, it is tough to find a physician. The curfew has also started," Feng Lao stated.

"I am alright," Miaoran said. "Please don't be disturbed because of me."

"I will dress your wounds, Miaoran," Jingfei said.

"Thank you for helping," Feng Lao expressed his gratitude toward Jingfei.

She smiled at him, "It's alright. You should go and take a good rest," and she took Miaoran to a guest room.

On the other hand, Feng Lao went to his room. He decided to take a bath first before having dinner and going to the bed.

"What? Commander Huang Xi was upset because Princess Ai Fen chose Chang Shi?" Li Hua muttered.

"Yes. He is badly hurt," Lóng Wei replied.

"That's so upsetting to hear," Li Hua asserted.

"It is. Huang Xi was late. He kept his feelings hidden for a long time. Perhaps Ai Fen was not the one for him," Lóng Wei asserted and sat on the bed.

"Prince Lóng Wei, the mid-autumn festival is near. What will we do?" Li Hua asked.

"What do you want us to do?" Lóng Wei asked as he lay on the bed and tilted his head to look at her.

Li Hua kept the small lantern on the top of the table while blowing off the others. She turned to him and said, "I do not know. That's why I asked His Highness." She went toward the bed and lay by his side while he covered them with the quilt.

"Hmm. We will celebrate it with everyone here in the palace. I never attended any festival with zeal in the palace before," Lóng Wei suggested to her.

"That will be great," Li Hua answered and placed her hand over his chest.

"I got Yuze's last message, Li Hua," Lóng Wei informed her.

"Really? How? Last time His Highness could not find it," Li Hua asserted.

"Father found it. I forgot to clean Yuze's place, but he did. And then he found the last message that Yuze had left for me while cleaning. I was so desperate to know Yuze's last thoughts for me," Lóng Wei stated.

"How did His Highness feel about it?" Li Hua inquired.

"I felt happy to read his words. I am happy that I finally achieved what he wanted for me. He always desired my happiness and chose me above everything. I feel special. Yuze is always around me. This I know," Lóng Wei stated.

"Monk Yuze loved Prince Lóng Wei a lot...as if he was his own son. Whenever I met him, his words showed those emotions. Monk Yuze played the role of a father as well as a mother for Prince Lóng Wei," Li Hua said.

"Hmm. You are right. That is why I never want to disappoint him," Lóng Wei affirmed.
