Questionable Identity

Ch. 9

Summary: Mulan isn't who she thinks she is. The Emperor is missing a daughter. Fa Li's family comes for her. Shang can't decide his future.

Disclaimer: I only own what you do not recognize.

A/N: Okay, please don't kill me? I'm really sorry for not updating but my life has been crazy since my last update and I was stuck on what to do for this chapter. But, hey, it is finally here.

Last chapter

They said their goodbyes and Mulan ran back to her rooms excited to see Shang again and to tell him about their friend.

(Royal Palace)

"And what excuse did you give him exactly?" asked the Emperor to his first wife.

She giggled slightly into her hand. "That you wanted to see him. I don't think I have ever seen anyone so pale without paint on their face."

The Emperor shook his head and sighed. "You, my dear, are meddling in something you should not play with. What if you are wrong?"

"I'll have him killed off and no harm will come of it."

The Emperor glared at her. "You just can't go killing people because you created a mess Jia Ju. The ancestors would not be happy with that."

Jia Ju frowned. "You are no fun." She sighed. "I guess you are right."

The Emperor smiled. "Of course I am right. I am the Emperor. I am always right."

"Well, there was that one time when…"

"Yes but not many people know about that, may I remind you. And I would like to keep it that way."

"I'm so glad that Li Lan is back in the palace."

The Emperor hugged his wife. "Yes, I am too. We both missed her greatly. And I missed you greatly as well."

Jia Ju smiled. "And to think, we will be having two weddings here in a month. For Nuo Niu and Wei Shui, and for Mulan and the General."

The Emperor chuckled at his wife's excitement.

Mulan woke up the next morning with a smile on her face as she remembered the kiss Shang had given her before he had left.

She quickly got up and grabbed her sword that was beside her bed so she could practice.

It would not do to get out of shape.

After Mulan had bathed and changed she headed to her grandmother's room to discuss more about the wedding.

"Do you know how a traditional Royal Wedding is conducted?" asked Jia Ju.

Mulan stared at her blankly.

Jia Ju sighed. "All families are hidden behind a red cloth and are separated from each other. The only thing seen of them is their hands when you and the General pour the tea for them. The General will also have a veil so he can not see his bride."

Mulan didn't understand. Unusually it was only the bride with the veil. Never anyone else. "But that makes no sense grandmother."

Mulan grabbed her sword from her room before running for the stables to visit Khan, her horse, and Mushu.

"Mushu," she called quietly as she waited for her guardian to appear before her.

"Interesting name," said a voice from behind her.

Mulan turned around and gasped.

A/N: Wow, it's been so long since I've written for this story. Sorry for disappearing from FanFic for a while people but school (exams, projects, and tests) and writer's block kinda suck. There will only be a few more chapters three at most I think. Anywho… that's it for now. Hope you enjoyed it.

I would like to thank:

BrokenSkye – Yeah, I just put that there, I actually don't know. I guess to show that Mulan isn't immortal. Thanks for the review and hope you enjoy.
