Few days later, Xing Ming gathered all his officials in the name of looking for a solution. While on the surface, it looked like that was exactly what he was going he was going to do, Xing Ming had other plans. All the officials gathered in the court hall and Xing Ming arrived happy that his uncle was present. His last plan had worked out exactly the way he wanted it. Still no matter the pressure he had put on Zhou Dong, Zhou Dong refused to step down. All the citizens in the capital still loved and respected him because of his past good deeds,. so they had not dared to go past the line. “Greetings Your Majesty.” They said as he entered. Xing Ming raised his hand stopping them before taking his seat. The last thing he wanted right now was to see his officials act hypocritical. “I asked all of you here so that you can find a solution. The epidemic is becoming a major crisis. We cannot afford to let this continue to spread. The reports I have received show that it started spreading i

Dai Chan watched as Wu Huan left in her carriage before returning back to the palace. Entering inside, Dai Chan looked everywhere making sure that no one was watching her as she entered. Unknown to her, Xing Ming stood up watching as she entered the palace. He had found out that she wasn't in the palace and thought that she had gone to the brothel. Master Ye later visted the palace to inform him that Dai Chan had left with Wu Huan to the security camp. Seeing the both of them together was worst than the pain of a thousand needles piercing his skin. “Your Majesty, what are your orders?” Master Ye asked as he stood close to Xing Ming. “Master Ye, is there a reason for me. To continue keeping that your favorite disciple alive? I spared his life and called off the wedding because I didn't want to make an enemy out of Dai Chan. When I was small, he tried to take what was mine. Now, he's grown. He's still ambitious and competing with me. Does he think that I am so generous as to share the

Wu Huan struggled to quickly regain his senses but it was impossible. Turning around, Wu Huan was about to speak when the doors opened.“Excuse me, Head Physician." The maid said bowing before she dropped the bowl of water shd carried.Wu Huan saw his chance and switched the pill bottle before standing still and watching the maid leave.“Mr Wu…” The head physician said“It's not poisonous. This bottle does have a strabge smell. However, it isn't poison.” Wu Huan said as he handed over the fake pill bottle.The head physician took the bottle sniffing it and was surprised as his eyes widened. The Empress Dowager and the consorts entered inside looking at the both of them as they did.“Has it been proven? Is it from the pill bottle?" The Empress Dowager asked." No, Your Highness. I have just sniffed the pill bottle and I have confirmed that it isn't poison. Why don't we ask for the opinion of one more physician? “ Wu Huan asked as he looked around.Zhi Hao finally reached the palace and

Han Ying returned back to her palace to inform Zhi Hao who had been waiting about Xing Ming's awakening. Entering inside, Han Ying closed her doors before turning around to see Zhi Hao. She had warned him not to come out at all. “What do we do now? I was watching him earlier. He nodded at your master. I think he took the bait. But Dai Chan won't be held responsible. All he has is a suspicion. Won't it not had been better if you just allowed him die?” Han Ying asked. “If we had not given him the antidote and he asked for Dai Chan to become the Empress Dowager, what would you have done? We all know his love for Dai Chan is great.” Zhi Hao said. “So you want to scatter them first? Break the love between them then, you kill him." Han Ying said sighing. " Actually, it's not hard to kill him. It's just that this time, I am sure that my master must have been behind this.” Zhi Hao said. Xing Ming didn't waste anything before resuming his post again. No matter what the head physician said

Zhao Yao held on tight as the head of the crime department used his Qinggong to fly them up to the roof. She didn't want to hold on to him but she knew she had to. If she didn't, they would both lose balance. Landing her down, the head of the crime department quickly shifted back letting her go which made Zhao Yao a little disappointed. “ Tell me everything you know. I don't want anyone to see the both of us together. In case they tell the emperor.” Zhao Yao said. “ Everyone here is my man. Besides, why didn't vyou worry about that when you came asking for the ancestral lands?” The head of the crime department asked “Forget it. Just tell me what you know. Or I'll leave.” Zhao Yao said as she stared at the head of the crime department. “I don't know much. All I know is some rumor that I heard while growing up in the palace before. You should never allow the emperor know that you are looking for the ancestral lands. It is said that the ten ancestral lands of the royal family can ope
