A few days passed.
The weather is a little warm now but at night it is still cold. Yan Cheung has stayed in Feng Wu's house for a few days now and his injury is healing already but he did not leave it yet. Now he sat at the table eating food and Feng Wu sat on the opposite side and drank lotus honey tea.
" You...Are you going to eat? If you kept reading, the food will get cold."
" You can eat by yourself. I'm not hungry."
Yan Cheung doesn't know why but he could see that Feng Wu's face is pale like she is sick. He opens his mouth but no words come out. He thought, ' why does he feel worried about her of all sudden.'
Then Xiao Li came inside and whisper to Feng Wu and she stop her reading.
" Cheung, you stay inside and do not come out. I have to go see someone."
Feng Wu went outside with Xiao Li. There Feng Wu saw two servants sent from the Feng Mansion. An old lady and a young lady, young lady wear the same style of clothes as Xiao Li, she looks the same age as Xiao Li because now Xiao Li is fifteen to sixteen years old.
" Young miss, sorry for the delay."
"It's fine." Xiao Li answers on behalf of Feng Wu.
The old servant know that Feng Wu could not speak so she did not say much and just told them that they will stay for a couple of days and will go back to the Wang Capital. So Xiao Li and the servants went to take down the lounge and bring it into the back of the house.
Feng Wu looks at the maidservant who comes with the old lady servant and she could see that the maidservant seems to always gaze at her and observe her so she becomes alert.
She thought; ' It seems like concubine Li are going to take action soon.' Feng Wu then went back to the house. The old lady servant never rests in their house because it is too crowded and not enough space so the servants always rest in the other house near Feng Wu's house.
A couple of days passed.
Feng Wu saw that the maidservant did not take any action but she still lookout for any danger. These days, Cheung has gone and never return so she didn't know where he has gone to but hoped he will come to pay her soon. It was dark already and Xiao Li went to the close-by village to get some rice and flour, so now she is the only one in the house. Feng Wu went outside and sat at the wood chairs, looking at the stars. Today is kinda warm but it is still chilly as her body is couldn't resist shaking. Then she saw the maidservant come to the gate door and she smiling at Feng Wu.
" Young miss. I came to send some cake for you." The maidservant said.
Feng Wu gestures her hand as points to the table. So the maidservant put the woolen basket on the table and open the woolen basket cap and take out the cakes to lay on the table. Just then, Feng Wu starts to feel her heart is hurting so she clenches her hand and tries to stay calm as now she might face danger.
" Young miss, go ahead and eat it."
Feng Wu did not move but just looked at her. So the maidservant got impatient as Feng Wu ignore her so she pick up a cake to force Feng Wu to eat but Feng Wu turn her head to the other side.
" Hmphs. Did you think you are the eldest miss in Feng Mansion? You are just a mute girl now so you better listen to me or else don't say I'm evil." The maidservant has a sinner gaze looks at Feng Wu and behind is a sharp knife which is ready to kill someone now.
Feng Wu stands up and looks coldly at the maidservant. Now her illness is hurting her and this maidservant is going to kill or disfigure her for sure. Since she has no one to help her right now then she needs to help herself.
The maidservant didn't see how Feng Wu look at her because she thought Feng Wu is a normal weak young miss who need people's help and the maidservant felt that she need to finish her job before going back or else she will not get to be the concubine of Master Feng.
Then Feng Wu saw the maidservant take out the sharp knife and point at her face.
" You have a pretty face which could destroy a whole city but it is too bad that it needs to be destroyed. Don't you think it pitiful or wasteful?"
The maidservant went up very close to Feng Wu so she is a lot taller than Feng Wu who is only twelve years old. Then Feng Wu saw the maidservant smiling coldly and then saw the maidservant raise the knife to her face so Feng Wu use her hand to hold the knife tightly. The maidservant didn't think that Feng Wu would hold the knife so she got stunned and then by the time she know, someone gives her a powerful kick on the chest and she flies to the side in the ground and spit out blood.
" Feng Feng?" Yan Cheung holding Feng Wu to check if she hurting or not.
Feng Wu's hands are bleeding and she is sweating due to her heart illness. Yan Cheung look at Feng Wu's face and saw her face is so pale, it seem like she was in pain.
Xiao Li just came back and saw the scene of Yan Cheung holding Feng Wu's shoulder.
" You! What are you doing?! Let my young miss go!" Xiao Li run fast to Feng Wu's side and saw that thing is not right.
Yan Cheung didn't even have time to answer as Xiao Li try to hold Feng Wu
" Omg! Young miss, what happened to your hand and why is bleeding?" Then Xiao Li saw the heavy injury maidservant on the ground so she knew what happen.
" Help me take my young miss inside first. Hurry!"
Yan Cheung has no time to think now so, he princess hugs Feng Wu inside and lays her on the bed. He look at his hand and saw it got Feng Wu's blood on it, his hands tremble. He has killed over a thousand people and he never feels scared or tremble but now he got some blood of Feng Wu all over his hands, and he is shaking nonstop as he is scared.
Xiao Li went to get the medicine to help Feng Wu's illness so Yan Cheung is the only one standing at the bedside and watching Feng Wu. Then Yan Cheung saw Feng Wu vomited blood.
" Feng Feng! Are you okay?! Hurry up! Feng Feng is vomiting blood." Yan Cheung yelled as he called Xiao Li and didn't know that his voice is shaking with anxiety.
Xiao Li ran over fast and feed the medicine pill to Feng Wu then saw Feng Wu calm down a bit as her face is returned to normal colors.
" You stay here and help me watch over my young miss. I will get some hot waters."
" Hmm. I will watch her."
Yan Cheung looks at Feng Wu's face, he feels distressed and suffocated for no reason as he never felt before. Today he went to meet his subordinate and got the money to come to pay Feng Wu so he came home in a good mood but didn't think he would see a maid try to kill Feng Wu, also he didn't think Feng Wu would use her hands to hold on the knife. At that point, he got so mad that he want to kill the maidservant so he rush over and give her a heavy kick. It didn't kill the maid but she will not be able to live long.

Lin Palaces.
Inside the study room, Wang Yanlin was reading some report scroll and then his heart feel stuffing and suffocate as he couldn't breathe. Yen, who is standing at the side saw Wang Yanlin's expression is not right.
" Your highness, are you okay?"
" I'm fine." Wang Yanlin rubbed his chest and put down the report scroll on the table.
He thought that it was weird how his chest was feeling, maybe he works too much so he needs some rest. For the past months, he tried to investigate who sent the spies to the Yan empire. When he was at the border, he went to meet up with the Yan empire crown prince and got some clues that someone is manipulated this war
" How was the investigate in Yan Empire?"
" Ying is coming back soon, your highness." Yen thought of his brother who went to Yan Empire. He been gone for so many days but there no news. He just hopes Ying doesn't get into any trouble.
" You can leave, I want to rest." Wang Yanlin went to the small bed bench near the window.
" If there is anything you need, call me. I will be outside." Yen turned and walkout with close the door.
