Transmigration: of Mysteries and Songs

Chapter 60: To The Rescue!

Feng Luodi knew she was abducted again the moment she regained consciousness. The constant headache, the heavy eyelids, her immobile body and her fingers gripping the bed sheet weakly were all signs she was used to. It was then a familiar voice tinged with arrogance sounded nearby.

"She's all yours. You can do whatever you want with her as long as it doesn't kill her." The words froze her blood. "Just remember to send a piece of clothing to the Chamberlain to remind him that it's time to get off that pedestal of his. Oh! Send one to Situ Muye as well. This one's just to spite him."

NO! DON'T DO THAT! Feng Luodi tried to scream, but no sound escaped her lips. She struggled to lift her eyelids and saw a figure dressed richly in purple and gold, turning to leave the room coldly. Just before the door was closed, she saw a savage grin on his face. Out of the corner of her eyes, a few shadows slowly advanced towards her, their eyes greedy and drenched in lust.

No matter how loud she tried to scream, no sound came from her mouth. Why is this happening to me, just because I'm the daughter of the Chamberlain and a friend of the General? All I want to do is to find the ten Guqin in the world! Why am I dragged into this mess? Someone save me! Is that too much to ask? All I wish for is a peaceful life in this world!

However, try as she might, not a single word escaped her mouth. All hopes were lost, and tears started falling from her eyes.

The door exploded inwards with a loud thump. A sword flashed in the air, and the figures that were almost upon her fell like dominos. Feng Luodi struggled to open her eyes again, and she was met with the man's anxious eyes - a sight rarely seen.

"Luodi, are you alright? Damnit! What did they drug you with!" She felt herself in a familiar embrace, full of warmth and protectiveness. The voice sounded again. "Bring these two back. I will interrogate them myself."

Luodi couldn't hold it in anymore. She buried her face into Situ's chest and bawled, with a wave of relief and helplessness washing over her all at once. Every time I seem to have a cold war with Situ, I end up being saved or helped by him. Is fate to blame, or am I just lucky to have him?

"Don't worry now, I'm here now. I won't let anything happen to you." She heard the gentleness in his monotonous voice.

They quickly got back to Situ's residence, and the physician who had just finished patching up the attendant was quickly brought to Feng Luodi's bed. Under the glaring eyes of Situ, the physician slowly felt the pulse on Feng Luodi's wrist and stood up.

"The young miss was merely drugged with the basic knockout agent, with a dose way too large for her. She'll be fine if she takes this antidote and rest for tonight." The physician passed a pill to Situ, and a Covert Guard quickly handed him some water. Situ carefully fed the pill to Feng Luodi and tucked her back into bed before leaving the room with the Guards.

"Bring the two of them here." Situ's voice was steely.

Covert Guard Two walked towards him. "General, they have confessed. The two of them are warriors under the 7th Prince's wings, and they were responsible for threatening yourself and Chamberlain Feng after they were done with Miss Feng."

"After they were done?" Situ sneered. "Dispose them according to military standards."

"Yes, General." Two turned to leave, but was called back by Situ.

"Head to the study once you're done. I want you to deliver a letter to the Grand Tutor's residence in private.

"Yes." Two walked out of the courtyard. Well, looks like that in order to protect Miss Feng, the general is even willing to cooperate with the Grand Tutor and the Heir. Sure enough, even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful maiden. He recalled how Situ made them search every house and room in the western part of the city and sighed. Now that he has his princess, he's completely forgotten about his subordinates!
