Xing sat under a tree hugging herself and it took a lot of her self-control to not tear her clothes away. She had never felt like this before and in the deep jungle where no humans can reach, she felt terrified and alone. If Fei Lian was able to get to her, he"d have just brought her to his Palace by now and she wouldn"t be feeling scared.Is life without G.o.ds around, this terrifying?
Since she had no destination in mind as she wandered, she didn"t know where she ended up and she wasn"t in the mental ability to concentrate hard to get back to her home.
She could hear the growl of Mo Chen and he got to her and laid beside her rubbing his head on her back to sooth her. Her mind went entirely blank as she couldn"t even think properly.
Xing felt a little better with someone beside her but there was no sign of her sickness reducing and she sat there hugging her knees and soon she was joined by Pengpeng and his mate.
Pengpeng tried to carry her back but she was in no condition to move around and so Pengpeng stopped trying and laid curling up on her other side.
With the three animals enveloping around her, Xing felt a bit safe and she tried to get to figure out what is wrong with her.
Could this be the side effect of the drugs that were used on me?
Whatever!
Chenglei... I"m scared!

The Emperor was sitting in the study trying to concentrate on the memorial in his hand that was among the mountains of memorials that were to be read and taken care of. But for some reason, he felt a indescribable restlessness in his heart.
"By now Mingxia must be back to her Manor", he thought. "But where did Mo Chen ran off to? He never leaves my side during this time of the day."
The Emperor looked at Weiye, he forcefully brought with him to the study even after she insisted on leaving for her courtyard to rest.
He could see that she was pretending to read the book she was holding and her heart was somewhere else and she was not calm.
Something is wrong!
Or is she feeling sick as she is saying? Am I being too paranoid here?
"WHERE IS SHE?"
A resounding voice identical to his voice that spread an immense chillness inside the study, followed by the thumping footsteps was heard.
The Emperor looked at his brother entering the study with heavy steps and his emerald eyes were emitting ruthlessness like the wolf he is.
Chenglei, while he was in the East really missed Xing. The investigations were going on full swing and his only comfort was the letters he received from her that had her scent in it. He kept it under his pillow before he laid in bed and only then he was able to sleep.
Four days ago, when he wrote a letter telling her that he"d be back in a week, he meant it. But that day when he went out, he saw a funeral in the village and a Old man had lost his wife he shared his life together for forty nine years. He saw that old man breaking down in tears unable to bear the death of his dear wife.
One would feel this way even after living with them for this long? Love is wonderful, he thought.
Somehow that made him want to be by her side immediately. He wanted to propose to her and make her his wife and tie her to him forever. Life is too short to postpone anything.
So he delegated his work to Lin Mubai who visibly showed his frustration at him since he wanted to leave for the capital city first to be with his lover.
Chenglei travelled for the past four days restless and reached his Manor first to clean himself up and went to her Manor but he was informed by her maid that she went to the Palace to have tea with the Empress.
That news made him feel a tug in his heart and so he decided to get her back and when he went to the inner palace, he was informed that she had already left.
But her carriage is still in the palace though.
When he asked around, he found out that she "attacked" the empress and was sent away by the Emperor.
Yeah! Like she"d leave just like that!
It could be simple as they say but he didn"t find it plausible and he was mad that his brother just sent her away just like that.
So he decided to pay a visit to his brother where he was informed the empress was too.
Is she someone both of them can bully? And if what was said is true, she should be home by now. But, She never left the palace gates, so where might she be?
That evil woman who is sitting in the phoenix throne must know about it!
Chenglei entered the study and saw the perplexed look of his brother and his woman standing up and she looked extremely guilty.
He didn"t see the protruding belly of his sister-in-law or considered the fact that she is a woman and should be treated delicately as he was teached when he was young.
All he saw was the deceitful person in front of him who might be responsible for the disappearance of his woman.
Could she have been left to one of the G.o.ds palaces like before..? He Didn"t stop to think that.
He had a feeling, deep in his heart... Like she was calling for him... From somewhere, filled with fear... Like her scared and hurt feeble voice was calling for him as it was brought to him through the wind...
He wanted to be by her side immediately!
"Where is she?", he shouted once again at her and she started trembling and looked at the Emperor to get his help.
"You"re here for Mingxia? She left", the Emperor answered and he could see the guards, behind Chenglei by the entrance trying to a.s.sess the situation since Lord Li seemed angry as he entered the study. They were concerned for the safety of their emperor as it is their duty.
The Emperor waved his hands to send them away a.s.suring them that he could take care of the situation.
As he was ordering the guards, he heard a tight slap and the noise of a chair screeching followed by another shout.,
"Where is my woman?", Chenglei had slapped Weiye and the Emperor saw her in the floor holding her cheek and with tears in her face and blood by the corners of her mouth. Her head has. .h.i.t the chair and there was a b.u.mp in her forehead.
"Why did you ...?", the Emperor shouted and the guards outside stepped in hearing the Emperor"s shout.
"Get out!", the Emperor growled at the guards and they immediately retreated. They all were smart to not getting involved in the spat between the higher ups.
He looked at his brother entirely out of his mind and his pregnant wife on the floor whimpering in fear.

Seeing his brother still trying to hit his wife, he pushed him aside, "You cannot hit a woman!", his voice rang authoritative inside the room as he squatted beside Weiye and rubbed her stomach feeling his children inside her belly.
They seemed a lot stressed!
"Hmpf!", Chenglei snorted. "Ask her where my woman is and I won"t kill her now!"
"She is the Empress! You cannot threaten her as you wish", the Emperor wrapped his arms around Weiye"s shoulders and tried to get her up. She was sobbing pitifully holding her belly.
