Savage Queen's Secret

"Are you sure you are going there?" Daoming asked from Alex with a tensed expression. He has been tensed from way earlier when he found out that Jully was lost and now he was all ready to leave for the underworld where the competition for selecting the chief has begun.

Alex nodded shortly, wearing warm and casual clothes to leave for the underworld together with Daoming. They were standing in front of the east palace double door to leave together in the car but they turned back when Shiwei showed himself.

He was heaving which showed that he ran all the way to see them before they would leave.

Alex smiled although it was filled with sadness, "You will take care of my Palace and country for me, won't you?".

Wang Shiwei neck bucked back, "Why? I already came here after leaving my secretary to do my work and here you are leaving yours on me! Are you kidding me?".

He chuckled and glanced at his secretary and the one sent by Mr. Wu to keep an eye on Aili, "I am joking, my employees are far more capable to take care of these works and I also have uncle Ben here".

Mr. Wu secretary, who was called Ben there, smiled and nodded, "Please come back quickly together with Ms. Wu and be safe on your journey".

It was midnight when they were about to leave since the day went by in the preparation of leaving and other works. Just when Alex was about to turn back and leave Shiwei stopped him, "Wait! Did you find out how the assassins ent..".

His words remained incomplete when Rubi after running through the long corridor of the east palace, quickly jumped and hugged Alex, "Please be quick to come back," her head buried in his chest and hands tugging tightly on his coat.

It was so tight that Alex even after trying couldn't get her away easily from himself. Wang Shiwei helped him from getting her away. He held her arm from behind and like a person carrying a statue, he put her away from him.

"So what were you saying earlier?" Alex asked ignoring Rubi completely.

Rubi looked at him with her pitiful expression.

"Did you find out how they entered without the front guards founding out about them?" he said and glanced at Rubi, who just swallowed after hearing his question but let out a breath of relief when Alex shook his head.

"It must be a work of insider or how else would they know the secret path of entering the Palace and even the underground tunnel of the ancestral hall".

"So it must be someone, who have lived here for years and know almost everything about the Palace," Wang Shiwei while biting his lips, said and Alex nodded.

He showed his thumb toward the car and then left after patting Shiwei shoulder once.

Once he left Rubi, who was acting all sad changed her face. She looked at the guards guarding outside of the east Palace and then took a deep breath while looking at Wang Shiwei, "Guards! Take the guest and shift them to the guest room and send back the doctor, who only checks the people with noble blood line".

Wang Shiwei frowned and looked at Alex secretary and at Mr. Ben. They both had the same expression that he himself had.

"Ms. Rubi, you can't take decisions when the King is not here!" Alex secretary said.

Rubi folded her hand in front and gave him a shrewd look, "I am the daughter of the prime Minister yet you are ordering me! Think of what will happen if my father founds out that Alex left to search for that girl whose origin is unknown and have nothing for this country".

The secretary become silent after gnashing his teeth. He looked younger then Wang Shiwei but his IQ seemed to be very good. Just from one look at his sharp and witty eyes anyone can confirm that he can knock thousands by his shrewdness yet he couldn't speak anything because of Rubi Status which was the highest in the Palace and also the fact that the Prime mister kept being nosy in the King's personal affair.

Since there was many big shots behind him from this country, the Prime minister could create a huge trouble for Alex just by his one word. When Alex rejected his daughter marriage, he controlled himself because there was no opening for him but now since the King himself left the Palace all alone without informing anyone, he could revolt easily by getting many men on his side.

So, Alex secretary must remain silent even though it was really humiliating.

"Ms. Rubi!.." said Ben but jolted back when she glared at him, "You! Yes you".

Rubi said pointing at him, "You should better leave, too. The one with you isn't going to come back!". She giggled and then looked at Shiwei, "Although you are handsome but your taste is similar to Alex. You should better search for another woman since I heard from doctor that Ms. Wu.. oh, my! It should be Mrs. Wang is in coma".

Wang Shiwei frowned since he never heard from the doctor that Caixia was in coma.

He swallowed and looked at her, "He never said such thing! You are spouting lies".

Rubi chuckled and glanced at the door, "It wasn't our palace doctor but rather it was your personal doctor who said that".

He become stunned by what she was saying. He was still unable to understand until Dr. Lu came out from the double door of the east palace.

Since Wang Shiwei has been having a long chat with the Palace doctor on Caixia's health in the living room, he was unaware of who was getting in and out of her room and he remembered informing Dr. Lu through call that Caixia has been shot but Dr. Lu never mentioned that he was coming there.

"Why are you here, Dr. Lu?".

Dr. Lu looked a bit tensed while swallowing and sneaking a peak back from time to time, his hand wiping his forehead sweats while Rubi looked at him while being confused.

"Since he was your personal doctor, I let him enter inside but he told me that Caixia have gone to a permanent coma and might never come back," Rubi said and drew her eyebrows up while looking at Dr. Lu.

Dr. Lu smiled awkwardly as his gaze shifted on Shiwei and then stepped away from the door. As soon as he stepped away, Rubi eyes become wider seeing Caixia standing near the sill of the double door and staring her.

"Gosh, Rubi! You should have planned it perfectly if you were going to kill me," Caixia words surprised Shiwei, who made sure that the guards doesn't let anyone enter inside.

'As I thought the guards were unreliable!' he frowned but become happy that Caixia was alright and even standing in front of him.

It was like a two days dream coming true. All night he only dreamed about her, running and laughing like a normal person without any wounds and now it seemed possible.

"Caixia you.." Wang Shiwei paused when he saw Rubi walking toward Caixia in a rage.

The way she walked made it clear that her intention was not good so he grabbed her hand and stopped her.

"What happened, Ms. Rubi? You seem to be furious after seeing me all awake. Huh… I was sleeping so peacefully yet Dr. Lu came and took out the oxygen mask from my mouth in hope that I die.. but I am as strong as a rock, I won't die," Caixia said and the pistol she was having in her hand was raised toward Dr. Lu, who was standing beside her.

Her eyes on Rubi but arm lifted up and gun pointed at Dr. Lu.

It was really a mess when he couldn't even understand what she was saying. How can his personal and most friendly doctor, who had been his friend from years would try to kill his wife?

That wasn't making sense but the loud and clear words Caixia was shouting from her energy less mouth, couldn't be wrong or maybe she saw it wrongly.

"Shiwei! I guess she had a nightmare because when I went inside and checked her pulse, she quickly got up and started to attack me. Look she is even bleeding," Dr. Lu said pointing at Caixia chest which was bleeding.

Rubi sneered and stood while folding her hands, "Yes, she must have had dreams of someone killing her or maybe she have gone mad after waking up or why else will she spout nonsense".

Caixia looked at Shiwei waiting for him to decide whether he believes her or them. She had a clear mind even in a situation where she was having a hard time to even stand properly and she was waiting for him to decide because only after his decision would she will make hers.
