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.
Just as they were talking, the maids passed by gossiping. “The Empress Dowager has woken up!” Wu Huan heard one of the maids say. “She has woken up? Thank heavens.” The other maid said as she left. Wu Huan and his friends sighed as they hearrd what the maids had been saying. “Where is Nan Cheng?" Wu Huan heard the head of the crime department ask in his deep voice. Watching as Nan Cheng came out, Wu Huan looked at the head of the crime department. The head of the crime department seemed to like wearing black cloaks to cover his face Only his mouth could be seen since he was bendingh his head . People said he was incredibly skilled and strong. Judging by the wounds and scars on his hands, it seemed it was true. “Let's go. The Empress Dowager has woken up. She wants to see the young physician that saved her life.” The head of the crime department said. “Please teach me Kung Fu. I want to learn." Wu Huan said kneeling down. “Wu Huan." Song Huo said. " Do you know what you are sa
Shao Wen jerked back nervously as he saw Zhi Hao. He had tried not to show it but, he was flustered.“Nothing. It's just because I remembered the head of the crime department.” Shao Wen said.“His image is very hard to forget, isn't it?” Xiang Jun asked.Shao Wen nodded his head immediately agreeing with Xiang Jun hoping it was enough to make Zhi Hao believe him. Watching as Zhi Hao nodded his head, Shao Wen sighed as he watched Zhi Hao leave before collapsing to the ground sighing“You are like this. What did you do to Brother Zhi?” Xiang Jun asked.“Nothing. Nothing at all." Shao Wen said placing a hand to his chest as Xiang Jun looked at him with his eyes narrowed.Xing Ming arrived at Dai Chan's palace and entered. Wherever he was stressed or angry about his uncle, he would go to her palace. Just as she had promised him before, she had always listened to him.“You shouldn't have done that in front of the Empress Dowager. For her sake, you should have at least held your anger in. U
