The Princess And The Lord

Guan Men Niang with his two subordinates Wu San Bo headed to the residence of Duan Shu Shu, his residence called the Palace of Eternal Majesty was once the residence of the sect leader of Heaven's Gate but after he died Duan Shu Shu took over the palace.

This was her subtle way of proclaiming herself as the new sect leader, although many objected to Duan Shu Shu's action, however, one by one they were removed by Duan Shu Shu's people because of that Duan Shu Shu successfully gained her footing in Heaven's Gate sect.

Ever since Guan Men Niang lived in the Heaven's Gate Sect, she knew that the most guarded place in the entire Heaven's Gate Sect was Duan Shu Shu's residence considering how many people in the sect itself hated Duan Shu Shu and it was also not strange if the array core was placed inside the Eternal Grace palace since the palace had been the living quarter of the Heaven's Gate sect leader for generations.

"Miss Guan is the palace with the golden roof an Eternal Grace palace?" The maid that Guan Men Niang once interacted with was called Fang Xia, unlike her previous appearance, Fang Xia had removed her freckles and wiped away the substance used to darken her skin after that she looked much prettier than before.

Guan Men Niang looked into the distance where the golden roof shimmered in the sun, then nodded, "Yes, but I've never been in so it would be a bit difficult to find out the location of the array core." Guan Men Niang bit his lip as he looked anxiously at the Eternal Grace Palace.

"I hope Duan Shu Shu isn't in her palace," Fang Yu stare at the palace worriedly, this tall slender man is Fang Xia's older brother.

"I heard she prefers to spend her time in the laboratory experimenting with his poison, you know he comes from the Duan family who is experts in poison," explained Guan Men Niang.

"Let's hope she's not at her residence cause we don't have much time now" Fang Xia blows her cheeks.

"Well you're right, we don't know how long Master Wu can endure the two heaven's knights." Fang Yu's expression tightened with concern.

A chill ran through Guan Niang's man heart, her hands trembled at the thought if something bad happened to Wu san Bo what she would do? for a moment her mind becomes black.

Guan Men Niang clenched her fists then she turned to Fang Yu and Fang Xia "I have an idea!"

The Eternal Grace palace is a square building with wooden pillars and panels covered with yellow tiled tiles made of real gold and the courtyard is decorated with landscaped gardens and beautiful stone paths.

The problem was that this place was heavily guarded by guards and hidden guards so it wasn't easy to enter the place without making a commotion thus what they should do.

<strong>"HELP ME!"</strong> Guan Men Niang ran frantically toward the entrance of the palace, of course, she was stopped by the two guards.

"Wait...are you...Miss Guan?" one of the guards was taken aback, his eyes flicking from her feet to her head in the blink of an eye before confirming that the woman's identity was indeed Guan Men Niang.

"Thank goodness you know me" Guan Men Niang's small face was touched by a layer of sweat he looked pitiful and frail his appearance evoked man's nature to protect.

Subconsciously the guards slightly lost their vigilance, "Did something happen, Miss Guan?"

"Yes, someone broke through the Heaven's Gate and attacked Master Gao Mo!" there was a clear panic in her voice.

The two guards were dumbfounded, they couldn't believe it but Guan Men Niang's expression looked genuine and a weak woman like her wouldn't dare lie.

"Do you know the identity of the person who entered?" asked one of the guards.

"I don't know but I heard him say about the Hei Shen sect that's why I ran here to find Madam Duan, can you report this to Madam Duan?!" Guan Men Niang looked impatient and stressed.

The guards were also shocked when they heard about Hei Shen, obviously, this is no small matter, the guards subconsciously exchanged anxious looks, "Miss Duan is not here…"

<strong>"WHAT?"</strong> Guan Men Niang's eyes widened in shock but inwardly she was jumping in joy, "Then we must inform Madam immediately!" she quickly said.

Suddenly two hidden guards appeared behind the guards but they weren't surprised, instead, they looked relieved "Sir, Mis Guan said..."

One of the hidden guards raised his hand "She's telling the truth, I can feel strong cultivation from afar and it doesn't seem like an ordinary cultivator maybe….one of the Kings of Hei Shen sect" hidden guard's brows furrowed closely.

"Miss Guan how is the situation?" the other hidden guards asked attentively.

"I...I'm not sure but Master Gao Mo was seriously injured but Master Chung Tao came in" Guan Men Niang said honestly.

"Ah, then everything will be fine right" The guards patted his chest as his tension subside when he heard Chung Tao has interfered.

The hidden guard squints his eyes "Not necessarily, we don't know the strength of the palace kings, he could have defeated Master Chung tao and if that happened it would be very bad"

"No...no way, just how strong is the king of Hei Shen?" The Guard's gaped in bewilderment, is hard to believe the powerful Heaven's Knight can be defeated not to mention it's two on one so if the king of Hei Shen wins then it means that man is a monster if that so then how strong is their master, Long Ming?

"Let's see the situation first!" the hidden guards promptly said.

The other hidden guards also agreed, "Okay, bring some hidden guards too just in case!" they couldn't deny that they were eager to face one of the kings of Hei Shen.

Fang yu and Fang Xia saw the hidden guards leaving with some people although it would be troublesome for Wu San Bo unfortunately if they didn't do this they would be stuck in a worse situation at least by doing this they had a better chance to destroy the array core and by doing so they automatically will help Wu San Bo.

"Hopefully Master Chung Tao and Gao Mo are well. If something happens to the Heaven Gate Sect, I don't know what to do." Her voice was calm, conveying concern.

One would know that Wei Zu Tian's concubines would not be able to return to society to lead normal lives, it was common knowledge how awful Wei Zu Tian treated his concubines to most people Wei Zu Tian's concubines were nothing more than broken goods so who wanted to receive broken goods that the owner discarded, therefore, the guards believed it when Guan Men Niang said she didn't know what to do.

"Miss Guan, you have done a great deal by informing us about the Heishen King's presence, I believe you will have a great reward from Master Wei and Madam Duan" the guard reassured her.

Guan Men Niang snorted inwardly but on the surface, she smile sweetly at the guards "I hope so then will wait for Madam Duan's arrival, I'm sure she wants to ask what I have witnessed"

The guards agree they know how cautious Duan Shu Shu was but they couldn't let Guan Men Niang in because Duan Shu Shu didn't like Wei Zu Tian's concubines, especially weak women like Guan Men Niang, thankfully Guan Men Niang was sensible enough not to ask to enter Duan Shu Shu residence.

Guan Men Niang was also aware of this, she knew most of the Heaven's Gate Sect people looked down on her as well as the other concubines it wasn't strange considering how Wei Zu Tian treated them more like an object than a human being but she had to enter Duan Shu Shu's residence somehow cause it was difficult for her to sneak inside when there were many guards around Duan Shu Shu's residence despite the many hidden guards that had left.

Guan Men Niang was sending a glance to Fang Yu and Fang Xia who were hiding not far from him, he knew they were watching him. Guan Men Niang took a deep breath and then suddenly fell to the ground and the guards were shocked.

"Miss Guan!" one of the guards stunned then quickly checked the pulse on Guang Men Niang's wrist and he could feel very weak so no wonder she faint.

"Did she pass out?" another guard asked with a reproachful grin.

"I think so, maybe she was too shocked by what happened and too tired after running here," the other guard can only guess.

"Ah, why is she so weak!" he scoffed in annoyance.

"But she's very pretty, isn't she?" The other guard who chek Guan men Niang pulses grinned as she leered his gaze at Guan Men Niang's pretty face and body.

"Don't even think about it!" the guard slaps his friend's back "She may be just a toy but she is Master's toy we should not touch her" he reminds his lecherous friends.

"I know, I'm not that stupid" he pursed his lips feeling offended but the fire in his eyes barely subsides, he had never seen Guan men Niang this close so he never realizes how beautiful she was, no wonder his Master obsessed with her for a long time.

"What should we do with her?" he asked his friend.

He was also confused but he couldn't leave Guan men Niang lying here nor could they send her back to her residence cause he worry Madam Duan would ask for an explanation of what had happened.

"I think we can place her in one of the maid rooms" he suggests while scratching his head.

"Yes, the maid room is quite far from madam Shu's living quarter so she wouldn't mind right?" compare to Wei Zu Tian he is scared more of Duan Shu Shu.

"I guess so..." he cannot be certain but what choice does he have.
