Our Journey 14 He Helped Me To Recover

"When can I leave w.a.n.gfu? I have to go to my home immediately to meet my father. It's been almost two months after Zhiqiang w.a.n.gye ordered my two friends to go to see my father in my village. However, the two of them have not returned. I became anxious," I told my concern to the man who treated me. He nodded his head.

"I think next week, Miss Zhou has been able to travel far. However, you can't be too tired," he answered my question. Hearing his words, I'm happy. I immediately imagined the scene that I can see on the way to my village.

"However, I am still worried about your internal injuries, Miss Zhou. I am worried that if you are not completely cured while traveling far away you will not be able to use your martial arts anymore," he continued his explanation to me. After heared what he said next, I immediately felt sad. I'm not willing if I can't use martial arts anymore.

"So what should I do so I can get well soon?" I asked his another advice. He sighed. He seemed reluctant to share his advice.

"Please tell me," I begged him. He nodded his head.

"Ask Zhiqiang w.a.n.gye for help in treating your internal organs with his internal energy," Imperial docter Li Shu spoke quietly. He already knew that I didn't like the prince. Because of it, he was reluctant to give this option.

"Is there no other way?" I asked him. I don't want to ask for help from that arrogant prince. Imperial docter Li Shu shook his head.

"Only inner energy can speed up your recovery, Miss. It doesn't have to be Zhiqiang w.a.n.gye to do it. Did Miss Zhou know someone who had great inner energy like Zhiqiang w.a.n.gye? I can ask Zhiqiang w.a.n.gye to give orders to that person to come to w.a.n.gfu," he said to me.

Heard his words, I immediately remembered my s.h.i.+fu's face. However, I went to this royal military academy selection without her knowledge.

If I say that I was hurt by this selection, my s.h.i.+fu will be angry to me. I'm afraid that she will punish me in an extreme way.

Maybe she will force me enter into his monastery.

"Nothing," I lied to Imperial docter Li Shu. He sighed and nodded his head.

"It's no good," he said.

"Then, I will give Meihua a new herbal recipe. He will boil it for you. Hopefully the herbal recipe can restore Miss's condition even faster," he said in a voice that sounded pessimistic. I just nod my head.

Imperial docter Li Shu stood up. Meihua immediately approached him and escort him out of my room.

I sighed.

I'm not just worried about my father. I also feel very uncomfortable in this w.a.n.gfu.

Several times I met Zhiqiang w.a.n.gye accidentally. Every time I met him, my anger burned again. I can't be polite to him. He also always spoke disrespectfully to me.

"Heaven, please give me a way to resolve my problem! I must leave this w.a.n.gfu immediately before I unconsciously try to kill that arrogant prince, "I begged.

The day was quite late at night when Meihua came carrying a cup of herbs. The herbal color is so thick. The smell is also quite sharp. I accepted it and forced myself to drink it.

"Why did you come with a drug this late? Isn't after dinner, I also took medicine? "I asked Meihua. She smiled.

"Don't worry, miss Zhou," Meihua said casually. Somehow I became suspicious of her att.i.tude.

Suddenly the door to the room opened. Zhiqiang w.a.n.gye entered my room. Meihua immediately posted her body to salute him.

"Respect to w.a.n.gye," Meihua said. I was forced to follow his actions.

"Respect to w.a.n.gye," I said while posting my body.

"Meihua, go away!" Zhiqiang w.a.n.gye gave the order to his servant.

"Yes, w.a.n.gye," Meihua answered and left us both in my room.

I feel very uncomfortable. I became reminded of his disrespectful words to me.

Two weeks ago, he said that he wanted me to be his warmer bed. I knew he was angry to me so he talked like that at that time.

However, I am still anxious now. I still can't use my martial arts at this time. I feel insecure.

"Why is w.a.n.gye here?" I asked him. However, he did not answer me. He whirred quickly and approached me and punched my full-blooded nerve.

His fast movements made me unable to dodge his actions. My body immediately lost power. He then lifted my body to the bed.

"What are you doing!" I shouted. I panicked. Moreover, he took off my outer top clothes. I want to fight, but I have no energy.

"Stop it!" I shouted, but he didn't care. He took off my inner clothes. I only wear dudou)* now. It make me more panic and angry.

[ )* A dudou—also known by other names—is a traditional Chinese form of the bodice, originally worn as an unders.h.i.+rts with medicinal properties ]

He pressing my full-blooded nerve again. So that I can sit.

"Imperial docter Li Shu said to me that you will recover quickly if I give you my inner power," he said in a calm voice. I am who was desperate, was shocked.

"Imperial docter Li Shu said that to you? Why he said that to you without my permission?" I asked angryly. I could feel both of his hands touching my back. A warm stream of air soon entered my body.

"Of course he must explain your condition to me. Even Though, you didn't give him permission to do that. Does you forgotten that he came to cure you because my order?" he said to me.

"I also remember about your complaint about my blow that can kill you. So I thought if I help you to recovery your body, you wouldn't mention that dangerous blow again," he continue his words to me.

"You should have said it from the start!" I shouted. I had panicked. I even thought of biting my tongue until it broke if he hara.s.sed me. I chose to die instead of being humiliated.

"If I say about it from the start, you will definitely refuse. Don't you hate me? Your eyes when looked at me shows that," he explained.

"You shouldn't help me," I continued my protest to him. I can hear him sighing.

"You want to get well soon and leave this w.a.n.gfu, right? So I will cure you and you can go from w.a.n.gfu as soon as possible," he said casually.

His words are right. Even though my current condition is very embarra.s.sing, I have no other choice. If I want to get well soon, I have to accept his help.

I sighed. I did not reply to his words again. Trying to stay calm and forget that I was almost naked in front of him.

I can feel the flow of energy inside.

Slowly I feel sleepy.
