BXBX NOVEL Chapter 235 - 235. Curiosity
"Do it!" replied the King firmly. He would not forgive anyone who ruined his daughter's happy day. All those involved should be sentenced to death without exception.
The commander just nodded and turned his body again. The four people who were kneeling in front of him looked down with their eyes closed, resigned to waiting for the Commander's sword to slash their neck veins.
Not waiting any longer, both of the man's hands lifted with his long sword gripped tightly.
Everyone held their breath with slightly narrowed eyes.
The commander-in-chief swung his sword, And...
"Wait!" a voice that came from Princess Fu Xie Lan stopped his sword in midair.
Immediately everyone opened their eyes wide, as did the four people who almost lost their lives.
"Does the princess have anything to say?" asked the Commander as politely as possible.
"Put down your sword!"
"Daddy, I don't want any blood on my wedding day," she added as she turned to where Emperor Fu Qing was.
"But, Xie Lan...."
"It's okay, they are innocent, Daddy. They too are just victims," replied Fu Xie Lan, interrupting the Emperor's words.
Emperor Fu Qing was silent for a moment, "Okay, if that's what you want," he said. This was his daughter's happy day, and there really shouldn't have been anything like this.
"Free them, Commander," the Emperor ordered.
Hearing the king's words, immediately everyone breathed a sigh of relief. including the four of them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Princess," they said almost simultaneously with their heads prostrating many times.
They felt gratitude incessantly in their hearts, there was a little feeling of emotion because they who should have received the death penalty were suddenly saved by the Princess.
Princess Fu Xie Lan just nodded.
.
.
And a few minutes later, the event was over, Fu Xie Lan returned to rest in her room, of course with Gu Yi.
As well as the others, some of them remained in the palace. Some even go around just to see the contents of the palace. A rare moment, and maybe only happens once in a lifetime.
Yes, after the event was over, the king allowed anyone who wanted to go around the palace.
However, there are still some limited places. One of them is the moon pavilion which is the residence of the princess, and the pavilion of Nila which is the residence of the king. The rest, they are allowed.
And of course, many residents of the Zu kingdom didn't miss this rare opportunity as if it had never happened before.
Until now, no one knew what was in the chest apart from those on the altar before.
The four people and the soldiers did not dare to bring it up, let alone talk about it.
Everyone is silent. With their thoughts and feelings.
The king had also previously advised that the unpleasant things that happened today they should just forget about it, and he said that they all need not worry. Because whatever happens in the future, the Emperor will bear it first.
And thus all feelings of fear and prejudice disappear instantly.

"What do you think is in that chest?" Xue Ning's voice suddenly broke everyone's thoughts.
It was already evening, Wan Lie, Xue Ning, Ju Xian, and Xue Ying were sitting in the gazebo which was right next to the moon pavilion.
Sit back and relax, inhaling the scent of the flowers that are still left.
"Not a good thing, better stop asking that," Ju Xian replied.
"But I'm curious about its contents. Who gave it and when did that person enter the palace?"
"They must be people who know about Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi," she added.
"And they're not human, how could a human be so bold as to make trouble with that creepy guy?"
"Hhhh just looking into his eyes I'm already scared," Xue Ning squawked at length.
"Ohh, ohh don't tell me this is ..."
"Noisy," sarcastically Wan Lie cut off Xue Ning's words. The youth then stood up from his seat and walked into the Moon Pavilion together with Hao who never left his shoulders.
That little white furry creature, ever since it separated from Fu Xie Lan, all it did was continue to sleep. Opened his eyes only if Wan Lie lifted or moved his small body elsewhere.
"Tch," Xue Ning squeaked at the sight of Wan Lie who had already walked away.
"Who is that man?" Xue Ying asked suddenly.
"He's Wan Lie," the girl replied.
"No, that's not it."
"Then? Who do you mean?" Xue Ning asked again.
Now there are only three of them in the gazebo.
"Fu Xie Lan's husband," Xue Ying said.
"Oh. He is Gu Yi."
As for his name, I also know. I mean where did you meet him and is he a wizard too? Because I can't sense any mana from it," Xue Ying explained at length.
Xue Ning shrugged carelessly. "He's a wizard, brother. I met him in front of the gate of Kanca City. At that time there was also Fu Xie Lan and Wan Lie with him. Ah, one more thing, the elder of the phoenix academy is also with them, Huang Bao," the girl explained in one breath.
"I've never seen a wizard have wings," Xue Ying said. This bothered him from the first time he saw the man use his wings.
"And it turns out that Wan Lie has the same wings as that man," he added.
"I don't know, brother. All I know is that they are wizards," Xue Ning replied.
"Maybe his strength is already at level three? Ah, I don't know," added the girl again.
"I've heard that the only races that have such black wings are the Demons."
"Hah, no kidding brother. How could the strongest race be among us? After all, the only Demon left is him, Lord of the Artland World," Xue Ning replied immediately while laughing heartily. How could her brother think of such an impossible thing?
"I'm not joking Xue Ning, I'm serious."
"Wan Lie also has it," Ju Xian said.
"That's right, the young man also has it," Xue Ning confirmed.
"But, Xue Ning, I..."
Never mind. Stop thinking nonsense. Think about it, if Gu Yi is a Demon, then Wan Lie? They have the same wings, remember big brother, the only Demon race left, only the Lord of this world."
"I never heard that the Demon race leaves two or more people, don't you think Ju Xian?" the girl said turning to the man beside her.
"Yeah, that's what I know," replied the young man casually.
"Brother, did you hear? Never mind, they are also wizards like us, it's just that maybe their level is far above ours."
"After all if he's a Demon, why continue to be in this place with all of us shouldn't he be dealing with something bigger? Instead of following Fu Xie Lan wherever that girl goes?"
"It is impossible. So, you throw that thought away," Xue Ning said again.
While on the other hand, Xue Ying was silent and no longer replied.
