The Story Of Dusk 239 The One Who Will Be Punished

Luna looked back at Xiao Jun impa.s.sively. "Yes." She said curtly. "Modama wants to kill me."

Xiao Jun gritted his teeth as his hand flew to the hilt of his sword. "I really want to kill you for bring this kind of trouble on us."

Misty Cloud Clan was another problem that he couldn't take it lightly, it almost like he would go into a battle without a sufficient army.

One more attack from Misty Cloud Clan and Xiao Tianyao really would be dead, those guards weren't the silent a.s.sa.s.sins opponent. Not to mention if they were outnumbered by them.

In the other hand, Luna couldn't retort Xiao Jun's words, she was well aware about the trouble that she had brought upon them and what the consequences for her to dare enough to betray her own father.

Luna a.s.sumed, her father had known about her pregnancy and really wanted to dispose her. Her guessed, it must have something related to the antidote that she asked from Gong Xu.

Modama must have been suspicious with Bai Yuyan's recovery from the poison. Moreover, she had stopped to feed him with information from Xiao Tianyao's side.

"He wants to kill me because he realized that I betrayed him." Luna tried to justify herself, it was worse enough to see Xiao Tianyao current condition, she didn't need Xiao Jun to remind her that all of this happened was because of her.

Why it was so hard for her to redeem her wrong doings? She just wanted to have a normal family and stayed away from all of this, however it seemed like a dream would only be a dream…

It was so far for her to reach.

"And do you think that is enough?" Xiao Jun sneered as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, he really tempted to finish this woman if it wasn't for the fact she was pregnant with his brother's child. "You had manipulated Xiao Tianyao and lost your ability because of your pregnancy, and now you said you are on my side by betraying your devil father. How do you expect me to believe that? Something must have gone wrong with your mind."

Luna kept silent as she stared at Xiao Tianyao's sleeping face, she stretched out her hand to smoothen the wrinkle between his eyebrows.

"If that is how you think about me in your mind, I couldn't do anything to change it. But, my feeling for your brother is genuine." Luna said, without looking at Xiao Jun, she didn't want to see the accusation in his eyes again, she didn't want to hear him to blame her anymore.

Because she had blamed herself enough.

Xiao Jun didn't want to hear about Luna's feeling toward his brother as he disgusted by it, thus he walked toward the door and slammed the door closed.

Xiao Jun was enraged, one of his enemies was inside, so close with his brother and he could do nothing about it.

It would be much better if she just died or else, she would bring more unnecessary problem in the future.

Xiao Jun had had enough trouble for the rest of his life. He didn't need an additional. Now, he hoped those a.s.sa.s.sins succeed with their mission.

"Have the physician checks on Prince Xiao Tianyao every hour." Xiao Jun ordered the guards in front door.

"Yes Prince Xiao Jun." The four of them replied to him in unison.

After giving another instruction, Xiao Jun walked out from Xiao Tianyao's courtyard to meet Yang Yu, who was so busy to give the other guards order.

"How is the situation?" Xiao Jun approached Yang Yu, this young man was so perceptive with his duty and the next thing that he had to do.

Yang Yu turned around and found Xiao Jun had stood behind his back.

Xiao Jun's movement was so smooth until he couldn't realize his presence, if he was an enemy, Yang Yu would be dead by now.

"The situation is under control, I have summoned all the guards, who went out, to return immediately." Yang Yu informed Xiao Jun.

This young guard also suffered many wounds as his left hand was bandaged tightly.

"Take care of your wound." Xiao Jun nodded at his hand. "You won't want it to be infected at time like this."

"Thank you for your concern Prince Xiao Jun, this subordinate will remember that." Yang Yu bowed politely.

Seemingly Xiao Tianyao had trained him well, his arrogancy had reduced greatly ever since he was bought from the black market. Xiao Tianyao has a good eyes on people, but poor heart to choose Luna as he spouse.

Xiao Jun sighed on that last thought.

"I will send more people to guard the mansion from outside." Xiao Jun said. "Locked down the mansion once I leave."

"Yes. Prince Xiao Jun." Yang Yu received the order.

And then, Xiao Jun walked out of Xiao Tianyao's mansion, he couldn't stay there for long time as he had another matter that needed his attention.

Initially, he returned because he wanted to reconcile with Qianru as he couldn't put his mind and heart at ease for these past months, his problem with Qianru had bothered him to the point that he couldn't believe it, that Qianru has a great meaning in his life.

However, this thing happened and seemingly, he had to do something more about it. In the end it was a good thing that he returned in time.

***  

After Xiao Jun left to Xiao Tianyao's mansion, Qianru called all the maidservants to throw all Bai Yuyan's belonging and changed the room back to its original state.

All of the servants were doing that happily as they had freed from the creature named Bai Yuyan, they really dislike her.

However, amidst their bustle activity a guard came inside to inform Qianru that there was an entourage from the palace, which brought an Emperor's decree.

Qianru's eyes dimmed with the mention of Emperor's decree. She knew exactly what it would be.

"Not only that, Miss Bai also present and demand for Princess Xiao to be punished." The guard anxiously said, Bai Yuyan had shouted at him and made sure that he told Qianru about her purposed.

"Punish me?" Qianru slightly raised her eyebrows as her lips curled into a derisive mocking smile. "She really didn't know when to stop."

"Princess Xiao, should we wait for Prince Xiao Jun to return? This subordinate would ask someone to inform Prince Xiao Jun about this." He suggested, he didn't want their Mistress to suffer injustice.

"Where is Liu Wei?" Qianru tilted her head, usually it would be Liu Wei who would come to inform something like this to her.

"Chief guard Liu Wei is held back by Miss Bai, she wanted him to stay and attend to her." The guard said hastily.

He didn't know what was inside that woman's head but it was absolutely something not good.

"Let's meet them." Qianru said sternly.

"But, Princess Xiao, shouldn't we wait for Prince Xiao Jun? This subordinate afraid…" Before the guard could finish his word, Qianru had cut him off.

"This is my place and I will not cower away in my own place, if she wants a punishment, let's see who will be punished in the end." Qianru said angrily.
