CHAPTER : 5 BROKEN CARRIAGE

Hung zhuang : long live to emperor long live to zhong empire (formally)

Emperor : there is no need for such formal greeting lei family have been royal family's faithful ally for so long after all (faking smile)

Hung zhuang : still its our duty your highness , may your highness enlighten me what cause your highness to visit our small mansion (straightly)

Emperor : no need to be polite , we are here to congratulate lei family for successor after third son's tragedy it is a great joy for Lady He fang (sarcastically).

there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice and he said lady He fang exceptionally.

Hung zhuang grit his teeth and clench his fist under his sleeve on hearing sarcasm and threat toward his dearest daughter but he kept his calm on surface.

Hung zhuang : thank you for your kindness your highness but unfortunately lady He fang just left with young master and won't be able to accept your well wishes personally (let him know intentionally )

Emperor : no worry , no worry but where did lady He fang left , right after young master birth shall not she should rest (acting concerned)

Hung zhuang : many thanks for concern but no worries she has only left after doctor confirmation (evade the question)

Emperor :[sly fox trying to hide that spout] oh i see i was only concerned as he is the last lad of lei family (sarcastically)

before Hung zhuang could answer it a servant came running in hall and fall to his knees

Servant : my apologies old master your highness but we have got news that lady He fang carriage fall in an accident (worriedly)

Hung zhuang : send soldiers to ensure lady He fang and young master safety (calmly)

Emperor : why not also take royal guards along , royal family will always stay by lei family (hurriedly)

Hung zhuang : I am grateful to your highness kindness but I afraid there is no need , lei family will trouble royal family if there is any problem in future , if please I would like to take my leave now (coldly)

Emperor : yes yes please [only if he would have agreed to take guards] (gritted teeth)

Hung zhuang left hall and sent some soldiers to investigate the news Emperor also left lei mansion and returned to palace but ordered some of royal guards to follow soldiers

.

News spread faster than fire and till evening every person in zhong empire had known about accident every one had their own opinions some say they died in accident some estimated they are alive as how could lei family can be so careless about their successor some say that even if they survived accident they would have been eaten by some beast as that forest is known for its deadly hideous beast ,no one knows for sure however as the news arrived that broken carriage is found but there are no traces of any human being found , like they have disappeared in thin air everyone had concluded that they are dead but of course there were still some doubts as if no traces states that they are alive none states that they are dead either but still every one agrees that chances of survival are very low.

{ROYAL PALACE}

Royal guards had reported to Emperor but unfortunately their words were same as rumors that broken carriage was found but no traces of peoples inside it guards had left but Emperor had not found peace and was pacing back and forth in his chamber while his concubine "Hua Qiu" sitting on bed was watching his highness familiar behaviour.

Hua Qiu : there is no need to worry your highness there carriage was broken being estimated that likely fall down from valley even if they would have survived the fall they would be definitely injured an injured lady with newborn child in middle of forest known for fierce beast there is no chance to survive (confidently)

Emperor : no not everything is like it look on surface if situation would be like you said he would not be so calm (Hung zhuang calm expression flashed before his eyes) he must have some hidden card he might had sent someone with them a master with strong cultivation.(frowning )

Hua Qiu : it is already confirmed that lady He fang had only left with child and old maid coachman even though used to be a soldier but his cultivation is very low and also had a hand injury in past enable to fight.(assuring)

Emperor : no he might be hiding and that lady He fang no one knows her cultivation level its heard that she used to practice martial arts before marrying in lei family maybe she is stronger than we thought (doubtfully)

Hua Qiu : she is just a fragile woman with a child your highness no one have seen her practising ever who knows even if she ever knows you are over thinking this your highness (being annoyed)

Emperor : shut up! don't forget no blood is found in carriage who knows if they were even inside it when it falls (angrily)

Hua Qiu : I apologies your highness your concubine only intended to calm your worries (hurriedly )

Emperor : shut up and get lost you are no more needed tonight (frowning)

Hua Qiu : but your highness I--(trying to plead)

Emperor :I said get lost! (angrily)

Concubine Hua Qiu hurriedly left the chamber

[what are you actually planning Hung zhuang no matter what it is I will kill him]

then he ordered royal servants to find any clue that led to lady He fang or young master search the whole mountain.

{UNKNOWN PLACE}

In a dark room a servant enters and bowed down in front of a man in red sitting on a chair.

Servant : master news is that lady He fang had fallen in accident along with young master their carriage is found broken likely estimated fallen from valley but lady and young master are missing it is estimated that they have died
