<h4>268 Broken Hear</h4>
After finishing with the task of Tian Ni, Soujin hurriedly went towards the inn where he went to bathroom and poured cold water on himself. The weather has started to turn cold, but he didn''t care and continued to pour the water. If it was an ordinary person, he would be sick after such a cold bath, but Soujin was highly proficient in martial arts, so he wouldn''t get sick over such matter.
Upon hearing the ruckus, the other two hurriedlye. Yan and Ming Hui looked at each other with question. Why did Soujin suddenly go inside the bathroom the moment he returns?
"Yan," Soujin voice was hoarse and Yan was really familiar with that kind of voice.
Yan''s face fell. Are you really serious? What happened during that short time when you visit that girl to reject her?
"What is it, Soujin?"
"Prepare way out of the capital."
Ming Hui sighed. "That would be hard. A courageous person had just break through to the pce and assassinate the emperor."
The sound of water stopped for a while. Soujin guessed that the other party must be the one he met on the night before. The question remaining was just who that person was.
"Lou, chase after him."
"Are you crazy?" Yan almost jumped from the ce he was sitting in. He wanted to search for a person they barely know at all, just what was in the head of his best friend?
"Yes Master."
Soujin ignored Yan and continue to pour the water while gritting his teeth. There was no way he was going to let himself lose to the medicine.
Outside, Ming Hui took a pill and handed it to his friend. "Swallow this. It will alienate your frustration a bit."
Taking it, Soujin felt much better after a while. Ming Hui was indeed a good doctor. Lucky for him bringing him here, or else it will be a long time in the bathroom for him before he could calm himself again. Though there were still some effects left, he could already felt that most of it were gone. He didn''t need to lock himself in the bathroom anymore.
"Let''s go."
"You want to slip away from the capital?"
Soujin nodded. He needed to go back to his territory and make the n. The emperor would soon hear the news of him rejecting Tian Ni tantly and thus ending the possible peace between the two of them.
Added with the fact that the emperor was assassinated, the one who would rece him was obviously Prince Mou. Having seen him once, Soujin knew that he would surely start the fight once again and not mind with the peace treaty anymore. The sh with Kai Kingdom would be inevitable.
"That person move would mean that Mountain Kingdom is ready to attack Kai Kingdom too."
"We need to be quick. He will be gone before we know it."
"And where do you think he will be?"
Soujin didn''t answer and merely told them to go their separate ways. The cities around the capital towards Mountain Kingdom were plenty and they could only rely on luck to find that person.
Soujin wanted to talk about coborating with that person. Since he wasing from the Mountain Kingdom and he had schemed so perfectly to make the ruckus on the capital, they might seed. But first, they needed to find the person.
….
Capital of Kai Kingdom
With the death of the emperor and the fourth prince, the first prince was appointed as the next emperor. The ceremony would be held in the next few days and the burial of the imperial member families must be done first.
Looking at the expression of Prince Mou, Prince You didn''t say anything. He didn''t make anyment about his brother taking the throne. Having met with those people from outside the kingdom, he knew that the death of the two imperial family members was their n.
"Third brother, is there anything you need?"
"I just wish to be excused from official duties because of health problem," Prince Youplexion was no longer good. After several days of wasting his time with drinking, he felt that his body could no longer keep up with his usual activities.
Prince Mou wanted to make Prince You life difficult, but remembering his position and with his intention of building a good image, he let him go.
"Thank you Your Highness."
After settling out the problem with You, he turned towards Tian Ni by his side whose face was red from anger. She was rejected and humiliated in front of the crowd since the ruckus in her residence was extremely loud. Now, she wanted to get back at Soujin whatever the cost.
"Does hearing rejection make you feel better?" Prince Mou mocked. The idea of the marriage treaty came from this girl''s begging and her father asked the emperor. Unfortunately, the result made her crying since Soujin would noty his hand on her even under the effect of the medicine.
Tian Ni red at Prince Mou. She felt betrayed. She had given up all her love to him and willingly waited for him to return from the frontline while rejecting the offer from other people. All these years, she waited for him only to get rejected.
She thought that with that scheme, she could get him. Unfortunately, what she did only make him even farther away from her. She knew from his tone that should she get close to him again, he wouldn''t show her any mercy anymore.
"Stop mocking me, Your Highness."
Prince Mou sneered. "Have your eyes opened?"
"Yes."
"Are you willing to be my wife, now?"
Prince Mou had been asking this question countless times and before, Tian Ni answer would always be no. She wanted to wait for Soujin. Now that they hade this far and the other party clearly told her that he didn''t want her, she didn''t have any reason to reject him anymore.
Looking at the prince-no emperor before her, Tian Ni made her decision. If she couldn''t have him, at least she would show him that without him she can get a better position and life, a good and perfect life.
"Yes."
