After seeing Wu Huan leave, Nan Cheng turned looking at Song Huo. Song Huo was also suprised at the way Wu Huan had behaved. It was like he had been pushed past his breaking point. “What is it? What are you looking at?” Song Huo asked intimidating Nan Cheng as he passed. Wu Huan left the tea house sighing as he came out. He had been so angry that he dared to fight with Song Huo. This was why he had always tried to keep his anger in. Looking around, Wu Huan saw the capital streets being busy again. Their manor almost didn't have anything. No maids, no workers and no coachmen. No matter where theh wanted to go, they had to go by foot. “Young master, do you need a ride?" Zhao Yao asked as she looked at Wu Huan. She had been dressed as a coach man in order to come to the tea house. Wu Huan looked her not realizing that she was a woman. “Aren't you here for His Majesty?" Wu Huan asked whispering. " His Majesty? Is His Majesty here?” Wu Huan heard the coachman making him realize how m
Everyone's gaze turned looking as Fenghao's grandson entered. The truth about them had been hidden for a very long time making all of them afraid as they shifted back. Some say he was crazy. Others said that he was a deity. No one really knew the truth about him. “My grandson is here." Fenghao said smiling. " Greetings Your Highness.” They said standing up as he entered. “No need to stand on ceremony. I've been away for a long time. Has anything significant happened in the capital?" Fenghao's grandson asked as he sat down. “Nothing much, Your Highness. The capital is still the same." One of Fenghao's men said smiling as he looked at Fenghao himself. “Still the same? The murder of Count Cao, the planing of rebellion. Were all these things in action before I left?" Fenghao's grandson asked glaring at Fenghao's men. “Okay. Stop being angry with them. They are doing their best. Things would be much easier if your second cousin would just hand over his throne.” Fenghao said as he sip
Dai Chan and Wu Huan stared at each other not knowing that Xing Ming was coming. Zhao Yao had gone to escort the physician so she had no idea. Since they were bringing a man (Wu Huan) into Dai Chan's room, they had dismissed all the maids. Entering inside, Xing Ming walked in seeing Wu Huan and Dai Chan together.“Dai Chan, what is happening here?” Dai Chan heard Xing Ming's voice making her startled.Dai Chan turned around seeing the look on Xing Ming's face. It was obvious that he wasn't happy at all.“Your Majesty, what are you doing here?” Dai Chan asked as she stood up.“What type of a question is that? Do I have no right to come to your room any longer? I should asking you all the questions instead. What is he doing here in your room?”. Xing Ming asked looking at Wu Huan.Wu Huan got up from his bed kneeling down immediately.“Your Majesty, do not misunderstand. He fainted outside my palace so I brought him inside to rest. Zhao Yao even escorted the physician out." Dai Chan said
Xing Ming glanced through his window seeing that Wu Huan was talking to Zhao Yao. He had not expected that Zhao Yao would really like Wu Huan neither did he expect that he would have to take Wu Huan as a brother in law. Ever since the day his father almost chose Wu Huan to become the next emperor, he knew Wu Huan wasn’t ordinary. Although he still didn't knwk what family he came from, it was always better to take the first action first. Now, Wu Huan was working for him. Fortunately, Wu Huan didn't remember anything about the past. That had not been his handwork. He had just taken advantage of the situation. “Your Majesty, have you thought about it well? If you allow Wu Huan to marry the princess, he would have to stop being a part of Liming. You know that it will be easy for him to get caught then." Master Ye said. " It's already a miracle that they have not been caught. I heard that their manor has no maids or worker whatsoever. Don't you think that people would find it suspicious?
Dai Chan turned back looking at the maids dismissing them. After they had left, Dai Chan looked at Xing Ming and the consort that were in bed. Funny enough, not even a part of her had been jealous or angry. Han Ying was right. The only reason why Xing Ming was interested in her was because she wasn't the empress. And she wasn't obviously interested in the position either. If being a Noble Consort would help her get her mission done faster, she was more than happy to remain a Consort.Few minutes later, all four of them sat down to breakfast. The entire table was silent as they ate making Dai Chan wonder what was running through Xing Ming's mind. Xing Ming was a geye complicated person. His mind was always hard to read.Your Majesty, I am full. I just came to deliver your nourishing soup as I always did. I didn't expect that Consort Bao would still be here.” Dai Chan said bowing her head before attempting to leave..“Consort Bao, leave." Dai Chan heard Xing Ming say making her smile.
Dai Chan's maids saw their mistress get on her knees to beg the Empress Dowager and they were surprised. This had been the first time they had seen her kneel down after the death of Madam Dai since they had a come from the brothel. “Noble Consort." One of the maids said feeling sorry for Dai Chan. Dai Chan was begging the Empress Dowager not to send her sister far away. Something that she had never done since she arrived at the palace. The life of a prostitute was very hard. Having grown in the brothel, she had seen the way their kind was treated. She vowed never to beg anyone. To plead for mercy. “What is this? Are you trying to make me look bad? Where is your fighting spirit? I thought that you would never beg.” The Empress Dowager said. “I am. Queen Mother, please don't send my sister far away." Dai Chan said with tears in her eyes. “ Fine. I am very magnanimous. I will let this go this time. As long as you know your place." The Empress Dowager said. " I do. I will never over
The Empress Dowager's personal maid screamed on the top of her voice after seeing that there was something wrong with the Empress Dowager. “Help! Anyone!" The Empress Dowager's personal maid screamed. Few minutes later, everyone was gathered. The emperor and the empress immediately went to the Empress Dowager's palace after hearing what had happened. While Xing Ming and Han Ying were focused on watching the Empress Dowager, the rest concubines were already crying and sobbing. “Why are you crying? The Empress Dowager isn't dead yet!” Han Ying scolded the concubines. Ming looked at the royal physician that was examining his mother watching his expression. He was already familiar with the physicians. Unlike other physicians that showed the condition of their patient on their faces, the royal physicians did the opposite. When the person was dying, the royal physicians would remain quiet and put on an expressionless face. This was because they knew that their heads could roll at any m
Xing Ming clenched his fist as he heard what his uncle had said. There were many people around so he couldn't punch his uncle as he wanted. Nor could he reveal the true reason why they had always fought. “You brought him here? Under whose orders? I know your the prime minister but don't you think you are overstepping your boundaries?" Xing Ming asked. " I was able to find out how they poisoned the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty.” Xing Ming heard the head of crime department say. “You have? What's the method?” Xing Ming asked turning to look at the the head of the crime department. “Through hypnosis, Your Majesty. I also thought it was hard to believe but, what he is saying might make sense." Han Ying said. " You were able to identify the method. And the poison? Do you know what poison it is?” Xing Ming asked. “Not yet. It will have to take some time. Because she was asleep when she digested the poison, it's taking a longer time to digest.” The head of the crime department said.
