Chapter 106 - 106. Sheng Ge is... II

Third person POV

An enormous thunder suddenly strikes down behind Hong er. Fortunately Meiyun managed to dodge to the side with the shocked Huayun in her arm. Hong er widened her eyes in horror, she couldn't believe that Weisheng would be gone just like that. Hong er slowly grabbed the black clothed man's arm and lightly pulled his arm.

Hong er: " Is-is it true? E-everyone?"

The black clothed man nodded his head and didn't dare directly look at Hong er's eyes. The sky slowly darken and the grey clouds started to engulf the capital's sky. Tears flew down from Hong er's eyes and dripped to the ground. Meiyun looked at Hong er with sad eyes, she didn't want her Young Miss to feel sad or heartbroken then she looked at Huayun that was crying silently in her embrace. She gently caressed Huayun's back with one hand.

Rain poured down but they still stood unmoving. Meiyun noticed that Hong er's body was shaking, she walked to Hong er's side while gently dragged Huayun with her. She held Hong er's cold hand and warmed it with her hand's temperature. She caressed Hong er's back hand with her thumb and smiled gently at Hong er. Hong er slowly turned her head to look at Meiyun and her tears immediately burst out as she hugged Meiyun.

Meiyun almost fell when Hong er suddenly jumped on her but she didn't mind it at all. Rather, she caressed two crying girls' back while whispering a spell to them. Not long after, Hong er and Huayun fell asleep in Meiyun's embrace. The servants that stood beside them quickly bring the two girls to a room and changed their wet clothes.

Meiyun went to her own room and changed her clothes, the room was so quiet that you could hear Meiyun's tears fell to the wooden floor. She quickly wiped off her tears and walked out from her room. She instructed a servant to prepare a small, simple looking carriage and food supplies. The servant immediately complied to her orders because Meiyun was the one who usually take the charge if Hong er was not here. Meiyun slapped her own cheek to bring herself back from the sorrow and talked to herself.

Meiyun: ' You have to be strong. You have Young Miss and Huayun to protect. At this time, they depend on you. And you have to trust that giant, he will definitely come back and marry Young Miss. And the last one, Qiyi….'

Meiyun: ' He definitely will be fine.'

The rain has stopped the moment Hong er fell asleep, Meiyun went to Hong er's room and carried the sleeping Hong er into the carriage while Ah Tong carried Huayun. Because they wanted to leave capital unnoticed, Meiyun told Xiao Bai to follow them without being noticed. She used her horse and Huayun's horse to pull the carriage. Meiyun sat on the driver seat and commanded the horses to gallop.

After a few hours, Hong er and Huayun slowly regained their consciousness. They rubbed their head and still couldn't grasp what happened. Meiyun heard some movement from inside, she knocked the carriage with her knuckle and asked.

Hong er: " Young Miss, Huayun, awake?"

Hong er suddenly remembered the shocking news, her tears threaten to fall again but she bit her lips and held back her tears. She hummed in a low voice while Huayun was looking outside with dead eyes.

Huayun: ' Qier…'

Meiyun: " Huayun!"

Huayun immediately woke up from her daze.

Meiyun: " I know you are sad but our first priority is to protect Young Miss. You hear me?"

Huayun gripped her hand until her knuckles turned white, she threw away all of her thought and gained her composure.

Huayun: " Yes."

Meiyun: " Good. Reporting, we have passed three cities and the estimated time for us to arrive at Xi An in carriage is 4 days. But if we ride horse, it will only take 2 days. Young Miss, what is your order?"

Hong er looked up and sternly spoke.

Hong er: " Horse."

Meiyun: " Understood."

Meiyun slowly stopped the carriage and jump down from the driver seat, she took off the rope that connected the carriage to the horse and tied their luggage on their horse. Hong er stepped out from the carriage with Huayun's help and whispered Xiao Bai's name. Xiao Bai immediately came out from the bush and went to Hong er side. They mounted their horse and departed after gave their horses some water.

Two days had passed by but Hong er still couldn't believe that Weisheng had died. She believed in Weisheng's words, he had told her that he would come back and marry her. They finally arrived at Xi An, but they saw a familiar entourage went on the same way as they did. Hong er galloped past them and arrived at Xu residence.

Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing instantly sprinted to the gate when they heard that Hong er had come back. Hong er dismounted Xiao Bai and went to greet Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing to show her filiality. They looked at Hong er in guilt, they could definitely see how dispirited Hong er was. They gently held her hand and asked.

Bai Huiqing: " Are you okay?"

Hong er knew that they had heard the news, she felt safe after arriving at Xu residence. She knew that Bai Huiqing and Xu Tingfeng would protect her no matter what. Her tears poured down again as she hugged both of them, she cried in their arms. Bai Huiqing and Xu Tingfeng never saw her cry before because she always wanted to be dependent and strong. But once in a while, it is fine to cry.

Seeing Hong er cry made Huayun's tears started to well up on her eyes. She gripped her hands as her tears fell. Then a warm hand held her shaking hand and lightly gripped her hand, telling her that she would always be her side. She slowly looked up to Meiyun and saw that a drop of tears fell down from Meiyun's eyes. Huayun had always been the mature one from the twin but at times like this, she lost to Meiyun. Even though Meiyun was also grieving, she always think about her loved person before herself. And that's what make Huayun look up to her playful sister. Meiyun quietly whispered to Huayun.

Meiyun: " Trust me. Everything will be fine. I am here."

Then suddenly a loud voice sounded out from outside of the gate. Hong er looked behind and saw that it was the entourage that she saw before. The man that stood at the front of the entourage announced in loud voice again.

" Receive the imperial edict."
