Chapter 13 Princess Wang Ya’s Birthday (2)

Xue Liang separated from him going instead to pick up her sword. Then bowing to him, "Congratulations, General Liu has won. I'm not very skilled as you, but having this chance to go against you in this sword fight was a great chance. Thank you." Xue Liang smiled at him as he bowed back.

"Your not bad yourself. If there is ever a day again then I'll ask to fight again." Liu Gang added.

"Both of you have great fairness and wise choices. Everyone thanks you for showing us your skills." The emperor then said as they both bowed to the emperor then going back to their seats.

Xue Liang then decided it was time to start acting. "Mother, Father, my head is feeling a bit dizzy. I may ask if I can go back first?" Xue Liang looks to her father and mother. Her father went to her with a little concern.

"Okay, go ahead." Duke Xue Cheng then helped her up. Consort Wan Bao then went to her pulling along her maid.

"My maid will help her back. Please rest assured my husband." Consort Wan Bao had a evil smile underneath as her maid led Xue Liang out. She was then led to a different part of the palace. The maid had just left her on the bed before leaving as Xue Liang then got up opening the window to allow her plan to take action.

Xue Liang awaited for her maid who then appeared with the person they had in plan. "You got her?" Su Rong nodded in her black suit setting Xue Hai onto the bed facing her back to make it look like Xue Liang.

"Rong, go ahead I have to do something." Su Rong nodded leaving ahead of Xue Liang. Xue Liang burned the incense just when the door was about to open. A dark figure jumped through the window catching Xue Liang around the waist.

"Let me-!" Her mouth was then covered.

"If you want to make it out then stop struggling." The voice was whispered belonging to Liu Gang. She turned around to see his glowing purple eyes. Taking his hand off her mouth, Xue Liang was surprised that he was there trying to save her.

"Gang, don't startle me. We have to get out now." She said trying to be clear.

"The prince will be disappointed that there is no one here for him in bed." He mentioned as the door started rattling. Liu Gang quickly pushed the wall frame divider between the window and bed.

Liu Gang and Xue Liang were stuck together holding her to his chest. They heard Prince Yu's voice as he was clearly drunk. They soon heard ripping of clothes, Xue Liang started getting scent of the incense with aphrodisiac. 'Shit, this is bad.' She thought deeply in her head knowing that it would effect her quicker and sooner than Liu Gang.

Xue Liang started feeling unsure as they both were not in a good situation at the moment. Her head was being affected slightly with her only resort to start smelling Liu Gang's arm which he soon also caught scent of the aphrodisiac.

They soon heard Xue Hai's scream being muffled, Liu Gang hurriedly carried Xue Liang out of the window which then shut close behind them both.

Xue Liang was feeling light headed since her sense of smell was strong as she was set down on the ground with the thought of her plan nearly fumbling into ruins. She felt wobbly nearly falling over if Liu Gang didn't catch her. "You didn't inhale that much so just slowly breath and it should subside after." Liu Gang told her, but Xue Liang was feeling too much effect her which she knew that she had to soak herself. Xue Liang went ahead jumping into the pond making Liu Gang jump in after her. "Idiot! What do you think your trying to do?!" He looked angrily at her with worry.

"I'm trying to get the scent away. This is the only way. I have to get home. Tomorrow, it's going to be a big day." Liu Gang then carried her as she looked up at him. "You don't have to take me home."

"No need. This is nothing. Wrap your arms around my neck or else you'll fall." Xue Liang didn't have much strength to argue back as she just did what he told her to.

Her bedroom window was open having him go in and setting her down onto the bed. Su Rong gasped with shock to see Liu Gang with her young miss.

"It's okay. He helped me here. Just bring me a set of new clothes." She only nodded with Liu Gang looking at her.

"Thank you, for bringing me home." Xue Liang looked up to him rubbing her head.

"Don't ever try this again. I will be very disappointed in you the next time we are in this type of situation. I have to go back now before things get out of hand." Xue Liang nodded not wanting to hear the rest of his lecture. Liu Gang left through the window making sure that no one saw him before he left. Su Rong brought spare clothes which Xue Liang was taken to bathe and soon left to sleep the night.

Morning rose, her father was yelling through the halls for Xue Liang. Opening the door to Xue Liang's room while she looked at him with a little bit of bags under her eyes. "Father, what's the problem? It's too early to start yelling."

He looked at her confused then rushed to Xu Hai's room. "Hai!!!! I let you stay home and now you are gone! She probably went to the palace!" Xue Liang hurriedly rushed along with them to the palace as her father opened a bedroom door like he did with any other open bedroom in the palace looking for his daughter.

Everyone saw clearly Xue Hai and Prince Yu in the same bedroom with no clothes on showing evidence of indecent actions that were taken in the room. "Hai!!!! You shameless daughter!!!" He yelled as they both woke up startled by his angered voice. Prince Yu then saw that he was sleeping with Xue Hai, Duke Xue Cheng's second daughter.

The emperor then walked in also as he had saw his son and Duke Xue Cheng's second Daughter, being informed by his servants about the issue. "Duke Xue, since this happened then my son will marry your daughter as his consort. This may be the only way to keep her status clean."

"Father! Please it wasn't my fault!" Xue Hai yelled while her mother went to hug her.

"Husband please! It's not her fau-"

"Not her fault! I told her to exactly stay at home but this happened! She is going to marry Prince Yu! Your highness, I thank you for your consideration. We will plan the wedding as soon as possible." He told the emperor as he nodded. Both decided to leave including Xue Liang with a satisfied look then listening close.

"It's okay. I'll treat my Consort nice. You won't feel any day without love." Prince Yu said. Xue Liang felt happy that Xue Hai was the one in there.

"Don't touch me!" Xue Hai said aloud as she left the room with her mother. "Mother how can this happen to me!?" Her mother had nothing to say as she had no idea what happened.
