LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS 220 The Last Living Descendant 2

Xing paced to and fro in front of the Emperor biting her fingernail and her entire body had gone cold by her finding. But still she believed that to be true.

"How... How could you say this, Mingxia? Tians.h.i.+ Emperor didn't have an heir and that's why he split the kingdom and gave it to his brothers. That's how our three nations were born... It is a well established fact..", the Emperor could not believe it either. Why is she suddenly saying that sun rises from the west?

" You see, I found this odd feeling when I read that last page of that journal... Now I know what...! That journal was written by the Empress and she had mentioned herself in the first person and the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor in the third person. But the last page, she wrote using the first and second person p.r.o.nouns. 'I wanted to have at least some more time with you, now that I have, I really don't want to leave you.. ' and similar things.... That's not a journal, it is a letter... A letter to her child! ", Xing was sure.

She figured it out when she was talking about the story to Kouki about her and Chenglie. She used the second person p.r.o.noun to Kouki so the Empress should have used it for someone else.

Xing could now see Empress Shu writing that journal sitting in a chair facing her newborn child in her imagination.

She wanted to let the child know that she really loved him and she wanted the child to have a better life even in her absence and to let the child know that he was born out of strong love between his parents and so the child has to live well.

How much pain would she have felt to say goodbye to her child? To bring a child and leave it soon...

But why did she leave this world? Why did the G.o.ds want to separate the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor and her?

" But she could have written it to the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor, right? ", the Emperor asked snapping her out of her thoughts. He was too perplexed. If the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor did have a child, are their descendants still living among us? In that case did the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor's brothers steal the throne from the rightful heir and sent away the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor? If what she is telling is true, won't it change the entire history of the three kingdoms?

"I don't know Kouki, it is just a feeling I got from reading the last page. The entire journal was about explaining how they fell in love and what made them decide to marry as the G.o.ds were against their union. It was more like she was telling why she made the choices she made to the reader, that is her child", she sighed," So that's why there weren't any explicit details... "

The Emperor was shocked to hear what she said, 'G.o.ds were against their union? If so, aren't they against his brother and her too? Wow! Could that be...'

"Mingxia, you are the Descendant of Tians.h.i.+ Emperor, aren't you?", he asked her

"Eh?", Xing knitted her brows and her face was distorted by his question, "How could you even think that? It should be Master Yuan... Master Yuan, right? Tians.h.i.+ Emperor must have pa.s.sed some secret techniques to kill that G.o.d trapped in that weapon because he was the one who sealed the G.o.d there and that's why he is trying to help me, the chosen one"

"Ummm... May be...! But I'll still place my bet on you.", the Emperor was clear. After everything that is happening around her, if there is an heir of Tians.h.i.+ Emperor alive, it should be her.

"So who is Master Yuan then?" She asked, "Look how similar to the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor he is... He has amber eyes, he likes to wear crimson, he has good sword skills, he can use advanced spells with ease..."

"You are all those things too... You like to wear crimson, you have good sword skills, you.. Float on air... You have amber... "

"I like to wear crimson because my mother used to get mad if I come home with my clothes dirty and crimson colour hides the red dirt in the parts of the village I lived in and I really get dirty a lot. And I don't have Amber eyes, my eyes are dark!", Xing explained.

The Emperor was stupefied by her reasoning for wearing crimson robes but he still didn't want to change his mind," Your eyes are black mostly but it turns Amber whenever you get really mad or when you float midair! And your Master Yuan could be that brother you were 'supposed to have '. Didn't you say he could be born in this timeline? Maybe he didn't want to do what those G.o.ds wanted to do and pushed everything on to you"

"What are...", as Xing was speaking she could hear the hooting of an owl and she paused.

"He is here... Let's ask him!", Xing was determined to get her Master Yuan to talk now.

She pa.s.sed the jar to the Emperor, "Get this to Yukiko. She'll know what to do", she said and turned to run towards the direction where she heard the owl. She knew as someone who knew medicines, Yukiko will definitely recognise the venom and what it is used for.

"Where are you..", the Emperor tried to ask but Xing just ran like an arrow shot out from the bow.

The Emperor looked at the jar in his hand and he turned towards the tent when he saw the maid of Water Kingdom's Empress had brought with her and he gave the jar to her, "Give this to your Empress. Tell her it is from Lord Táng. She'll know what to do. Get this to her safely or you'll face consequences", Kouki warned her and turned to leave after she acknowledged it.

What the Emperor didn't realise was, the Water Emperor has been watching them for a long time even from when Xing extracted the venom from the viper and he saw them discussing something seriously and he could not hear it clearly as they were speaking in their language. He saw the venom being pa.s.sed to his wife's maid to be pa.s.sed to be given to his wife and he interrupted the maid and got it from her.

How dare they try to Poison my Wife right in front of my eyes!
