Tying the handkerchief round face, Wu Huan leaned in to take a sneak peek at her. “Are you done?" Dai Chan asked making Wu Huan step back. “Yes, I am. Go inside. I will help them carry the bags inside.” Wu Huan said. Dai Chan nodded her head walking away while Wu Huan stayed back to help the servants. Zhao Yao continued to stay in the high priest quarters hoping to find any clue on what the high priest was hiding. Even though she was a princess, she did every work that was assigned to her. In order not to get caught, Zhao Yao woke up early to take her bathe. While she was about to return back to her room, Zhao Yao spotted a fire stick from far and hid. It was the priest on duty that was patrolling the place. She had hoped that they would be changing their shifts but it looked like she had been wrong. The patrolling priest stopped looking around and Zhao Yao bent down hoping not to make many noise. While the guard stood checking, another priest came talking to the guard. Zhao Yao
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
The members of Liming gasped as they heard what the emperor's personal eunuch said and they all turned to Wu Huan.“His Majesty has been infected. How did he get the epidemic?” Wu Huan asked worried about Dai Chan.“No. His Majesty isn't infected with the plague. He is poisoned. That's what the head physician said. From the looks of it, it seems like it is fatal. The Empress Dowager is asking Nan Cheng to come to the palace.” The emperor's personal eunuch said.“I know medicine. I believe that I know medicine more than my younger brother. Please allow me to come to the palace instead. My younger brother's body is frail and weak. I'm afraid he will pass more infections to His Majesty." Wu Huan said watching the emperor's personal eunuch seem reluctant.“Head eunuch, you can be rest assured. Wu Huan is indeed better than Nan Cheng in medicine. Please trust him.” Song Huo said stepping up.Xing Ming's eunuch glanced around looking at the faces of the brothers. Seeing how confident they l
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
The scream of the maid from Xing Ming's palace was heard everywhere. Han Ying who had been sitting in her courtyard turned back looking in the direction of Xing Ming's palace. It had not taken long before everyone gathered thinking something bad had happened to Xing Ming. Rushing into Xing Ming's room, everyone stood perplexed as they stared. Meanwhile, Master Ye who had dressed up as an eunuch knelt down by Xing Ming's bed feeding him some soup. Wu Huan rushed into the room when he had seen everyone gathering. Entering inside, Wu Huan stood shocked just as the others who were staring at Xing Ming. It was unbelievable. They had left his room thinking he was a in a critical condition. “Why are you all of you looking at me like that? Where you getting ready to wear white?" Xing Ming asked weakly as he looked at the crowd that had gathered in his room. “Your Highness. You are truly blessed by heaven. You are awake." The Empress Dowager said with happiness as she looked at her son. “Y
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
It was already night and the streets became empty as all the vendors started to pack up. The gate to the Lim manor opened quietly as one of the members of the Lim manor sneaked out closing it. All the rest members were sound asleep thanks to his quick thinking of poisoning the food they had eaten. You are here.” Master Ye said as he looked at his true informant in the group. For a long time, many had suspected it was Yin Xue Yue because Yin Xue Yue had always wanted to win his affection. Then again, Yin Xue Yue had truly come to him giving him some news but, he didn't care about Yin Xue Yue. Nothing in this world could compare to a love you feel for someone close to you. “Greetings master." Master Ye heard him say. " What are you talking about?I told you. Whenever you and I are alone, you should call me what I truly am to you. You have been hiding your identity because the rest would immediately suspect you. Although I have always showed you affection, you did well so that you wou
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
