Chapter 272 272; Your Father Is Really Adamant On Catching You

Wang Yike was also exhausted and looked pale, he had no more energy, he straighten his back as his swayed, "what a waste." He lightly mumbled feeling indignant.

"Your father is really adamant on catching you." Wang Lin spatted out those words coldly laced with disgust, he never like the life of royalty.

"It's my fault from the beginning, I indulged him all through and conceded to his demands and fulfilling all of his requests, i can't blame the fact that I was born as a royal, it's my fate." He solemnly responded as he leaned back weakly.

He was exhausted from all the fightings and his wounds were aching terribly after exerting do much energy in fighting back.

"Do you know why I have to make sure I bring you along with me? It's not only the Mistress's orders but you will be next future and prosper of the Kingdom." He remarked as the hoarse sped away.

Wang Lin turned around to look at Bai Chang who was laying there unperturbed, even though he was laying there soundly, his aura was still strong and couldn't hide his royalty.

Scorpion dried Ming Xie in the dressing room as they dressed up in a black cotton sleeping robe.

He carried her as he walked into the bedroom and placed her on bed.

They laid down as he pulled her into his arms.

"Good night." He pecked her forehead gently as his arms tightened his hug.

"Good night dear." She shyly pecked his chin, she didn't want anyone or anything to disrupt her blissful moments.

They kept quiet as they slept, tomorrow was another day and God has definitely different plans for them.

In the Ming Kingdom, Wu Xue and Xie were practicing vigorously, and now it was time for horse riding.

She climbed on top of the hoarse and held the reigns tightly as she slowly began directing the horse.

Her buned up hair displayed her calm and determined eyes as she steadily began riding the horse around the training tracks as fast she could.

The bow and arrows were held below the saddle, she released the reigns before bending down and getting the bow.

She tasted the bow by pulling the string before picking up two arrows, the horse was running forward in fast pace, she steadied her balance on the horse before she aimed at her shooting targets.

She missed as she picked up another one, two arrows at the same time, but she missed the target and lightly swayed.

Seeing the horse moving forward speedily and she has lost her balancing, she place the bow around her neck before holding the reigns and stabilized herself on the hoarse.

Xie hurriedly moved and got more arrows and tied them all together and when she passed near her then she could pass them to her.

Fei watched the entire scene intrigued as his interest was piqued, he noticed she was a fast learner and knew how to handle any oncoming situation.

"You need to affirm your footing on those hooks before you can aim your targets, remember it's not the targets here, they're your enemies." Fei's voice echoed as he instructed her.

She nodded her head and picked up another arrow, she got the bow from her head before balancing on the leg handles.

She stood up as she aimed the targets and hit in the 7th ring, she bent down and got another arrow before aiming and shooting at the 8th ring.

"Good, good... You need to master the essence of stability and how much your chemistry with the horse is. Remember, that horse is part of you and your winning is determined on how well you know your horse." He spoke out as Wu Xue nodded her head in understanding.

All she needed was determination and hard work, she needed to persevere.

King Jun who has been busy with memorials and ongoing matters walked down to the Empress courtyard and found her just sitting down on the bed.

She looked dazed and muddled, everything that has been going on had really hit her terribly, she herself couldn't understand how she had failed as a mother.

King Jun worried walked towards her as he silently approached the woman who was lost in her thoughts and didn't even notice another person had walked in.

He bent down and held her hands, the Empress raised her bowed head to look at the person infront of her.

This was her husband that she had vowed to love for eternity and protect but now it was a far-fetched dream.

"My dear.." he called her seeing the lost in her eyes, they weren't sparkling anymore, he could feel something has left within her, when did she become so downcast.

She just looked at him without any response, King Jun lightly frowned seeing her looking pale and shabby.

He stood up while holding her hands and drew her to the dressing mirror, he gently positioned her on the seat before getting a comb from the drawer.

He gently combed her hair and aligned it before tying it into a beautiful bun, then he adorned with Jade hair pins that brightly shone with rare intricate of magnolia flowers.

He looked into the mirror and saw his beautiful masterpiece but the face in the mirror was despondent and wrinkles had began showing up.

She was no longer younger and this is one fact he had neglected, "I didn't realize you have aged." He pecked her hair that was already having a few strands of white hair.

The Empress had given birth to her daughter when she was already very old and due to that age, her health got detrimental and her life was always at risk.

She had tried several times but she never got pregnant until later into the years when the King had married several concubines and consorts and gave him enough heirs while she was made fun of and looked down.

She was mocked by everyone and spited on from the ministers and advisers, the King couldn't take any humiliation and thus decided to accept concubines.

When they had gotten married he had promised her that she will be the only woman in the entire palace but things changed once she wasn't able to get pregnant.

Looking herself on the mirror, she no longer saw any need to adorn herself, she accepted the fact that she was aging away and her life was fading away.

She raised her hands and began removing the hair pins, "I'm not a young girl anymore, it's a waste to adorn on these beautiful hair pins." She lightly sighed as she removed them from her head.
