Huanzhu Gege (Special Edition)

So that now, everyone in the palace knew that this particular international princess, Princess Yingying is such a talent. She is beautiful, humble, nice, sweet, talented, smart etc etc, but no one knows what’s deep in her mind, these days, she has been crying and crying when she is alone by herself. She is so lucky and yet she is crying all night long, not even her father knows what really is troubling her as he sees that his precious daughter is so miserable and yet he could not do anything in order to make her happy. Now, a lot of the imperial family wanted to marry Yingying and asked proposal to MengWang and Qian Long for quite some time, but, both of them disagreed, and more over, this princess don’t want to get married to any of them.

While these few days, where Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi, Erkang and Ziwei do not hang out with Yingying for sometime as she says that she did rather stay in her room for these few days as she wanted to take a rest, that is a lie, she has been locking herself up in her own in the guesthouse and cry to herself.

Disappointed that does not have a chance to see Yingying, Yongqi was a bit of frustrated to things, a lot of things.

"Yongqi," Xiaoyanzi said eagerly, "Come and see me practicing my martial arts that Yingying taught me."

"Sorry dear," Yongqi said apologetically, "I am not feeling well, can you practice it by yourself? I promise to practice it with you when I feel better."

‘Of course I am not feeling well, so many days that I have not seen Yingying how could you expect me to feel well? When I get to see Yingying and regain the energy,’ Yongqi thought.

Being a stubborn brat, Xiaoyanzi certainly wanted Yongqi to accompany her and her threw her tantrums, "No, you must come with me and direct me, you must!" she shouted back.

Being a prince for so long, he certainly gets angry, "Hey, can you stop being so unreasonable? I am not feeling well here and instead of taking good care of me, you want me to go and practice the swordplay of yours? If you want then practice it yourself," thinking that if that was the sophisticated and caring Princess Yingying, she will just jolly well practice the martial arts by herself.

Xiaoyanzi herself got much more furious too, she feel herself starting to burn and said, "Fine, and don’t ever come near me."

"Why not?" Yongqi starts to get even angrier, "And don’t you come near me too."

All of the servants in Jing Yang Gong knew that it was a fight and they sighed. Wondering when will these cold wars ends.

Xiaoyanzi stormed out of the room angrily and rushed out of the Jing Yang Gong and ran straightly to Shu Fang Zhai. Immediately, two eunuchs went first and told Xiaozouzi and Xiaodengzi in Shu Fang Zhao to be careful and comfort Xiaoyanzi.

As the two eunuchs of Jing Yang Gong came back, the two maids of Xiaoyanzi, Xiaoshunzi and Xiaoguizi asked them, "How is Gege," asked Meili.

Xiaohezi replied, "Gege is really in a bad mood."

"They always gets into this kind of fights," complained Xiaoshunzi.

Six of them sighed.

Xiaoyanzi was so angry that she threw things all over the room, whatever she sees whatever she throws, "Why is he like that? I just want him to practice the swordplay what’s so much about that?" she cried heartbrokenly.

Upon seeing the upset Xiaoyanzi, Xiaozuozi knew only Ziwei could come and comfort her, so he gave Xiaodengzi an eye signal, signaling him to get Ziwei and Erkang. Xiaodengzi knew what he meant and nodded and silently went out to Xue Shi Fu to look for Ziwei, Erkang, Saiya and Ertai.

"Ziwei gege, Fu Da Ye," shouted Xiaodengzi from outside, "Bad news bad news!"

All of them rushed out and found that it is Xiaodengzi, even Fu Ji (Erkang’s mother), Fu Da Ren (Erkang’s father), rushed out to find out what is happening.

By that time, Xiaodengzi is panting like mad.

"Xiaodengzi, slow down, what happened?" Fu Da Ren questioned.

"Gege, gege," Xiaodengzi said breathlessly.

"What happened to gege?" Ziwei asked, as she was worried.

"Gege, had a huge fight with Wu Ah Ge and this time this fight is the way too big and gege now is crying uncontrollably and is throwing things all around," Xiaodengzi said as he gasped for breath.

"What?" Ziwei said unbelieving, "Even that Xiaoyanzi is angry, she will not throw things all around, this time she must be really very angry."

"Oh no," Saiya added in shock.

"This time we must think of something," Ertai added, "This must really be a huge fight."

Erkang kept quiet and thought, ‘This must be something to do with Princess Yingying.’

Ziwei somehow knew what he was thinking and she held his hand and gave him a nod as she understands what he is thinking and she has the same feeling.

Knowing that this certainly isn’t anything to do with Xiaoyanzi, Erkang said, "Come on, no time to waste, Ziwei and Saiya, you go and talk to Xiaoyanzi in Shu Fang Zhai and while Ertai and me will go to Jing Yang Gong and talk to Wu Ah Ge."

"Yes, do go and please, comfort them and cool them down," Fu Ji added.

"Er Niang," Saiya assured, "Don’t worry, we will."

Everyone nodded and quickly climbed into the carriage and while Xiaodengzi drove the carriage.

In the carriage, Ziwei and Erkang decided to tell what they have found out to Ertai and Saiya.

"This is a real big secret," Ziwei said, "Remember not to breathe a word."

"Ok," Ertai said, "Both of you, sounded so mysterious."

"Yes tell us quick," Saiya added impatiently.

"It’s about Xiaoyanzi and Wu Ah Ge," replied Erkang, "I think that Wu Ah Ge is falling in love with Princess Yingying."

"Huh?" both Ertai and Saiya replied in unison, unbelieving.

"Are you sure?" Saiya said.

"Yes," Ziwei said, "Very sure."

Erkang told the both of them about the day that they saw Yongqi looking at Yingying, this and that.

Two of them understood, "Ok I understand now, don’t worry we won’t breathe a word," Ertai said.

"Especially to Xiaoyanzi," Saiya said, "She will never be able to stand it."

"Yes, that is," said Erkang.

By that time they finished talking, they already reached the palace gates. Ziwei and Saiya rushed to Shu Fang Zhai while Erkang and Ertai rushed to JingYang Gong.

"Fu Da Ye dao, Fu Er Ye dao," Yongqi heard the eunuch reporting, ‘Must be what happened just now,’ Yongqi thought sighing.

He went out to the living room and saw Erkang and Ertai marching in with large steps.

"Yes, is there anything the matter?" asked Yongqi impatiently as he is in bad mood.

"Yes Wu Ah Ge," Erkang said.

"We have to talk," Ertai said.

"Alright what is there so important, watching both of you so impatient," Yongqi said as he sat down, gesturing Erkang and Ertai to sit.

"What’s with you and Xiaoyanzi?" asked Ertai angrily as he remembered that he once fall for Xiaoyanzi.

"Is they’re any of your business?" Yongqi said, "If you are not happy and you are heartbroken then you marry her as a concubine then," Yongqi said meaning it and unhelpfully.

"Wu Ah Ge," Erkang started, "What’s the matter with you?"

"There’s really nothing much, who ask her to be so stubborn and when I am in such a bad mood," Yongqi replied.

"But I thought that you like her of her stubbornness," Ertai added.

"Hey I am really in a bad mood, go before I chase you away," Yongqi said.

"In that case," Erkang said, "I think I will go to Shu Fang Zhai and comfort Xiaoyanzi and we will bring Princess Yingying there to judge and she will certainly judge the right or wrong," he threatened.

Upon hearing ‘Princess Yingying’, Yongqi face softened, and said, "Alright, what do you want?"

Erkang and Ertai exchanged glances and now certainly knew the truth.

"Go and apologize to Xiaoyanzi bring her back," Erkang said.

"Then that shall be it," Yongqi said reluctantly and said, "Fine."

Three of them marched to Shu Fang Zhai.

Xiaoyanzi heard the eunuch reporting, "Ziwei gege dao, Saiya gongzhu dao."

"Xiaoyanzi, how are you," Ziwei rushed in concerned.

Xiaoyanzi’s eyes were red from crying and her hands were bleeding as he threw a vase and there givng her palm a deep cut.

"I am fine," Xiaoyanzi said.

"Gosh! You are bleeding Xiaoyanzi," Saiya said as she saw the cut.

Ziwei immediately rushed to the attention, "A very deep cut," Ziwei said, turning behind to Xiaozouzi, she said, "Summon Hu Tai Yi, quick!"

"No," Xiaoyanzi shouted, "I am fine! Don’t!"

Saiya said, "But it’s a deep cut!"

"Ok, we don’t summon Hu Tai Yi, but we must clean the wound ok?" Ziwei said gently.

Xiaoyanzi cried harder, "Ziwei! Yongqi don’t seem to be care for me already! What should I do?"

"Hush," Ziwei said as Xiaoyanzi lay in her arms, "Isn’t Wu Ah Ge’s sick? He is actually running a temperature while you still want him to practice martial arts with you of course he feels bad."

"But he shouted at me!" Xiaoyanzi said in-between sobs.

"Of course, if it’s Ertai, he will also shout at me," added Saiya, "Wu Ah Ge is so sick, instead of caring him, you still wanted him to practice martial arts with you! It’s really much of your fault too."

Xiaoyanzi somewhat cooled down.

"Wu Ah Ge dao, Fu Da Ye dao, Fu Er Ye dao," reported the eunuch outside.

"There, isn’t he here?" Ziwei said gently.

Xiaoyanzi smiled and ran into Yongqi’s embrace.

"Yongqi I am really very sorry," Xiaoyanzi said in his arms, "I shouldn’t call you to accompany me to practice martial arts when you are so sick."

"It’s ok, I too was too overboard my wife, I am really very sorry," Yongqi said softly, feeling that there’s something at Xiaoyanzi’s palm, he it and look, shocked to see a pool of blood and said, "Oh Gosh, my wife! You are bleeding."

"It’s ok," Xiaoyanzi said.

"I am so sorry, I shouldn’t give you this trouble! You are bleeding profusely!" Yongqi cried.

Everyone, in a flash, finally noticed Xiaoyanzi’s pale face. She fainted in Yongqi’s arms.

"Oh my! Xiaoyanzi wake up," Yongqi said as he shook Xiaoyanzi vigorously.

Ziwei was shocked, "What now?" she asked, worried.

"Bring her back to Jing Yang Gong first," Ertai said.

"Don’t worry, she will be fine," Erkang said, turning to Ziwei.

Yongqi immediately scooped Xiaoyanzi in his arms, carried her and ran back to Jing Yang Gong.

Ertai and Saiya immediately went to summon the imperial physician as Yongqi laid Xiaoyanzi in the bed.

Yongqi sat beside Xiaoyanzi and looked at her worriedly.

"Don’t scare me, Xiaoyanzi," Ziwei said as she looked at the pale Xiaoyanzi.

"My love, please don’t scare me, please wake up," Yongqi said shaking her uncontrollably.

"Wu Ah Ge, don’t worry, Xiaoyanzi will be very fine," Erkang said, stepping to Xiaoyanzi.

The imperial physician came not long later. He took a look at Xiaoyanzi, checking at her pulse beat.

"Tai Yi," Yongqi asked, "How is Gege?"

"Hui Wu Ah Ge," the imperial physician said, "Erm, Gege is in a danger of dying, she lost too much blood, she can actually die anytime, we must wake her up and give her to eat the medicine. Gege’s pulse beat is very slow and may stop anytime."

"What?" Yongqi said as he looked at the expressionless Xiaoyanzi and said, "No, you must cure her, quickly look for the herbs and medicine."

"What?" Ziwei could no believe her ears, "This couldn’t be true. Oh my," she yelled as she rushed to Xiaoyanzi’s bed side, "Xiaoyanzi, you mustn’t die, Xiaoyanzi, can you hear me, Xiaoyanzi wake up!" Ziwei screamed.

"Xiaoyanzi," Yongqi yelled, "You don’t scare me, don’t leave me! Wake up!" he shook her again.

Still no avail, what they only see is that blood is still rushing out of the cut and all of them was shocked.

"Taiyi!" Ziwei said in between shocks, "Why is this happening?"

"Hui Ziwei Gege, Huanzhu Gege is having a very deep cut and we could not stop the bleeding as the cut is far too big," Hu Tai Yi replied.

"What?" Yongqi said in between shocks, "I want her to be cure."

"Yes, Wu Ah Ge, I will try my best," the imperial physician replied, "Now that the only thing you all should not do is not to shake her, as more blood will flow out as the cut is big and if more blood flows out, then the condition will certainly be worsen."

"Just go and pick the medicine," Yongqi shouted.

He turned to Xiaoyanzi and touched her face and said softly, "My wife, nothing should happen to you, Hu Tai Yi is picking the herbs, but you too must do us the favour, you must be brave and strong, you hear that?"

No response…
