LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS 446 She Is Cured, But He?

In the White Palace, high up the clouds, two of the great G.o.ds were cheering with good wine in their cups. They were clearly in a celebratory mood.

"Yeeees, finally!", Mazu shrieked. "I thought the little one will never get that medicine, forever"

"Sus.h.!.+", Fei Lian waved his hand to make Mazu tone down her cheers. They have done something against the rules of the Heavens.

The Purple Lotus bloomed a year back and as if the Heavenly Emperor knew about his plans, he asked the Lotus for himself.

Fei Lian did give that Lotus to his Emperor.

But, no one knew of the other lotus he had been secretly growing in his garden and that bloomed later.

In fact, that day in the council, Fei Lian wanted to slip in the medicine from the Purple Lotus to her but maybe because the Emperor saw his over enthusiasm, he decided to not allow him to get close to his poor descendant who lost the ability to carry a child.

Her descendants will be his descendants too and he would like to see his descendants flourish in the human realm.

So he hid it in the dress Mazu prepared to give to their descendant. Without knowing about the medicine, Mazu pa.s.sed it to Chenglei. Of course she asked permission of the Heavenly Emperor to give a gift to her descendants.

Fei Lian was smart and didn't tell Mazu that he placed the medicine inside the robes till she gave it to Chenglei, even though that medicine was enchanted by Mazu even before the Council meeting, to grant the little one's deep heart wish which he knew would be for her to have a child and he knew the spell would double the efficiency of the drug.

Now no one will be held accountable even if the little one was found to take the Purple Lotus. Fei Lian gave the one purple lotus he had to their Emperor and Mazu gave only a set of dress. Even if the other G.o.ds doubt some G.o.d helped their Prince, their suspicion will move to their Emperor and no one would say a word now or in the future against their Emperor who is proved to be biased against their Prince too.

Mazu just shrugged off Fei Lian's warning to not speak loudly. It's not like anyone could reverse the effect of the spell and medicine anymore. And that little one won't let it happen too.

"But why is the spell working on her husband too?", she asked taking a sip of the wine, making her pink supple lips glistening and her deep blue sapphire eyes were s.h.i.+ning with curiosity.

"Don't you know she and him are one? Even their stars merged. Her wish includes his wish too. So your spell of granting her one wish will grant both of their deep heart desires. For her it was bearing a child and for him it is his past memories that were sealed", Fei Lian had a rare pleased smile adorning his face that made his bright blue eyes s.h.i.+mmer with glee.

"She unlocked the spell at the perfect time... when both of them were yearning for their wish, earnestly", he chuckled.

If she'd have opened it earlier, she might have accidentally wished for something else. But now with her heart a.s.sured about everything else, she yearned for a child and him too... He wished for his memories and nothing else.

"I know she is cured", Mazu looked content looking at the mirror showing Xing lying on the bed.

"But will he regain his memories?", a deep furrow formed between her eyes as she looked at Chenglei lying on the couch in the Imperial study.

"She is cured", Fei Lian took a deep breath. A sigh of relief. Now he can stop worrying about her.

"And him.... It was always up to him if he regains his memory", Fei Lian's expression turned sombre.

" The spell helped him access to his memory once again. This time it is different with the blessing the Heavenly Emperor gave her. So... Him regaining his memories..... It depends upon his level of trust on his wife. He trusted the wrong person to lose his memories and it would take his trust on her to regain his memories"

"Yeah... If we try to interfere, it might cost his life, so it really depends on him", Mazu pursed her lips and her hand holding the cup froze as she sank into deep thoughts.

"Whatsoever!", Mazu suddenly perked up as if she had composed her heart, "We will soon have descendants and I am glad at least we get to watch them grow"

"Yeah, we could have been much closer with them too", Fei Lian's tone was little accusatory making Mazu sigh and her deep blue eyes s.h.i.+fted to the floor, guiltily.

If she didn't get too much involved, they could have gotten permission to have contact with their descendants even if the portals are closed.

But it is too late to regret the past and time to embrace the little happiness they can expect the future will bring.

"And you secretly visited her and ate all the sweet buns without me", she accused Fei Lian back.

"Haha... Those sweet buns are always mine. I'm not sharing it with anybody... Even you!", Fei Lian chuckled.

"You.... You....", Mazu gritted her teeth and pointed her index finger at him shaking with anger.

"It's true.... She only gives me sweet buns. Even before she could walk, she'd give me.....", Fei Lian teased Mazu more and those two started bickering.

The Emperor saw his brother lying motionless on the couch and his heart almost stopped.

Should I inform Mingxia?

He wondered as the physicians could not say anything about what is wrong with him.

This is not some physical ailment, is it? Could it be something related to other realms.?

I must inform Mingxia!

"Inform the Princess Consort and bring her here", he told the eunuch beside him.

"Forgive me for..."

"What?", the Emperor interjected the overly apologetic eunuch.

"Won't it scare the Princess Consort?", the eunuch immediately conveyed his concern.

Won't women get overtly scared seeing their husband with unknown ailment, unconscious.? Shouldn't they first find out what is wrong with the Prince before informing the Princess Consort?

" Scare her? ", the Emperor muttered.

He knew how worried she would get seeing her husband like this. But...

She is no ordinary woman! If this ailment is something that can only be cured by her, not informing her will end up dangerous and she will burn the entire city with no second thoughts.

"Summon the Priestess. And inform the Princess Consort", he commanded and his authoritative command made everyone scamper.

"What useless fools", he looked at the physicians scornfully and they all knelt in front of him out of fear.

'The Prince seems to be in deep sleep. He is not waking up no matter what we do. How do we know about this weird disease? ', the Physicians wondered.

While this was happening in the Imperial study, Xing was taken to her old room and their family physician rushed in to take a look at her.

"There is nothing wrong with the Princess Consort. Since she didn't eat nothing from the morning, she fainted of hunger. Nothing else. Just five her some light food first and then she'll be fine", the experienced physician diagnosed.

"Nothing wrong? She fainted just for that...? Check her again. My daughter is not that weak... She used to he anemic. Did it return? Check again.... This time properly!", AoTian who was out of his mind seeing his daughter unconscious daughter, commanded.

Xing could hear part of what was spoken by the physician and her father's worried voice brought her consciousness back.

" Daddy, I'm fine ", she said, her voice hoa.r.s.e and AoTian by her side poured some warm water for her to drink.

Xing sat up and accepted the cup and drank the entire cup. She then looked at the physician,

"My abdomen hurt a lot before I fainted. You sure there is nothing wrong with me? You know what will happen if some other doctor could find something wrong with me, right?", her voice was threatening.

She was definitely in a state where she wondered how she should feel. She had a deep feeling that she is cured and the physicians words confirmed it. With the skills of the Huang Family's Chief Physician, he'd have easily diagnosed it, if she still couldn't carry a child. He definitely would have told it if he found out about it, since he knows who she is. She is Huang AoTian's daughter and Prince Jin's Consort. Something that serious won't be kept as a secret by him.

" Your Highness", he bowed deeply. "You'll be fine once you have something to eat"

"Are you.."

"Father, let's have dinner", Xing held her father's sleeves. She felt her knees weak out of happiness and her heart was beating erratically.

Should I actually believe I'm cured? Just when I got used to my sickness, accepting it wholeheartedly, this happened? Should I be happy? Can I be happy? Is this really happening?

Xing who was confused, wanted to get to Chenglei as fast as she can. But she needed to eat something before leaving leat she faints again. And her father would starve if she leaves now.

"Where is brother?", she asked since she couldn't find her brother in the dining hall. Her father mentioned Rijun would be joining them for dinner that day.

"Young Master got an urgent message and left for the Imperial Palace. He asked your highness and Master to have dinner first ", her father's page replied.

Xing didn't know that her brother who received news about her husband's fainting had hurriedly left for the Palace. She just looked at her father looking pale and worried and she started eating after making sure he ate something too. He wouldn't eat if she is not eating with him.

Rijun who was stressed to the max, entered the Imperial Study and everything was confusing as it was filled with various physicians. By the time Rijun got there, the Priestess got there too and both entered at the same time.

"Why is Ming...", the Emperor paused realising there are a lot of outsiders. He cannot say her name carelessly, "Where is the Princess Consort?", he was gritting his teeth.

"What happened here? She fainted there and woke up just now", Rijun tried to walk in amongst the tens of physicians kneeling in the floor.

"Send them out, your majesty", the Priestess spoke politely. She could sense a strong spell and She could confirm her doubts by Rijun's words. If both of them fainted at the same time it should be related to something supernatural and these physicians won't be of much use.

" So what is wrong with my brother?", the Emperor asked the Priestess who was looking deeply at Chenglei.

"He is locked inside his consciousness", she took a deep breath closing her eyes and her voice was pretty melodic as if someone who is not used to speaking their language is speaking it. "No outsiders can help him. He should help himself.", she looked deep in thoughts as her eyes were unmoving.

"What does that mean? Should bring Mingxia here?", Rijun was worried. She might know what to do.

"Wait for a while. Disturbing him would be dangerous and the spell itself won't hurt him", the Priestess was talking looking at the water basin kept by Chenglei's head.

The Emperor raised his eyebrows seeing the Priestess' eyes being, deep as the blue sea and bowed immediately.

"G.o.d of water, are you not? So my brother is not in danger?"

"No. Wait for him to wake up. He will find his way to her", the deep blue in the priestess' eyes disappeared and turned brown as her usual colour and she looked like she didn't realised what happened moments ago.

"Should she be informed?", she asked making Rijun all the more confused.

What is going on here?

"No, let's wait", the Emperor sat beside his brother. He was worried what if something goes wrong but he still decided to listen to that G.o.ddess.

Meanwhile Chenglei was surrounded by darkness wondering where he was and there was a small keyhole where light seeped through.

Where am I?
