My Ghost King

Despair

Hua Ri

"I don't understand it, everyone knows you're better suited for handling snow ghosts. It doesn't make sense for him to send General Nan Yang and not you". Xie Lie said while pacing back and forth as I read a book.

"What's done is done. I'm not ok with it either but we have to follow his commands......for now at least". "Why can't we just tell our brothers and get this over with"? "Do you honestly think they'll believe us? We haven't seen them in years and there's a big chance they don't even remember they have little sisters, you know how controlling Jun Wu can be".

"Maybe Hua Cheng still remembers, he has no reason to go after him". "The last thing Jun Wu wants is for me and my brother to work together. The risk of us being able to beat him is too high for him". She looked down at the floor. I made my way over and hugged her. "I promise, you will see Xie Lian, you will have your big brother back". She hugged back.

Mu Qing

My nerves were all over the place as everyone was called for another meeting. Feng Xin had only been gone a few days but I knew it was about him. There was a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that I couldn't shake no matter how hard I tried to make myself be positive.

I took my spot as soon as I arrived and tried my best not to draw attention to myself, the last thing I needed was to answer unnecessary questions.

Just please be ok. Be ok and come back home to me, please my love

Everyone started to walk in one by one and were talking amongst themselves but they all quieted down as the emperor walked in with Ling Wen. "As all of you know General Nan Yang was sent to the mountains to deal with the snow ghosts there. Like always he completed his mission successfully and even managed to eliminate the female ghost that was in charge but it was at the cost of his life".

No. Please no

"He had failed to send in status reports and as per regulations, my guards went out to look for him only to discover his body covered in blood and snow.

Don't react, don't react. The two of you hated each other remember? You're not supposed to be sad he's gone

It was taking everything I had not to cry in front of everyone. I had to get out of here. I had to get somewhere safe. I couldn't be here.

"You're all dismissed except for you Mu Qing".

Dammit

"Yes sir".

As soon as everyone left he ordered me into his office and locked the door before coming up to me. "Your protector is no longer around". I looked at him confused. "My protector "? He slapped me across the face causing me to fall to the ground hard.

"Don't act as if I'm stupid boy, I knew all about your and Feng Xin's secret relationship. Why do you think I sent him on that mission alone". I looked up at him shocked. "Y you had him killed"? Tears formed in my eyes as I came to that realization.

"You and Xie Lian are mine to do with as I please. Neither one of you deserves to be happy after what you did. You both deserve to be punished for your crimes and I'll make dam sure it happens". I screamed out in pain as I felt a shock of electricity start from my wrist and move its way up to my body.

All he did was look at me as my body squirmed in agony and electricity surrounded my body. I wanted it to stop. I wanted Feng Xin to hold me but I knew that wasn't going to happen. He was no longer here. He was no longer mine.

"You have nothing left". He made his way over to me and grabbed me by my neck. "Your boyfriend is gone and so is his bastard child".

No! No! Not Cuo Cuo

Having nowhere else to go I made my way over to the only safe place I had left. The fresh flowers I had left were still there looking beautiful in front of her head Stone while the flowers gently rested in the plastic wrap I had them in.

Tears stung my eyes as I slowly walked over to her and fell on my hands and knees crying.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm coming to you like this but I don't know where else to go. Everything hurts so much right now and I don't know how to make it stop. It feels as if a dagger was stabbed into my heart and is constantly being twisted in different directions.

I lost Feng Xin, momma. I lost the only person who cared about me since losing you but it wasn't just him it was Cuo Cuo as well. Jun Wu had them both taken from me because he didn't want me to have any form of happiness because of what I did.

I don't even have his highness anymore, I know Jun Wu will do everything he can to keep us apart. The only three people who have loved me since your death are all gone. I don't know what I'm gonna do. I want Feng Xin, I want my boyfriend".

"Feng Xin was your boyfriend"?
