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
Zhao Yao returned back to the palace feeling angrier than ever. She had found out a lot of things about the ancestral lands they wanted. The late emperor had watched as a low official stole his brother's land just because he wanted to keep him on his side. Xing Ming came into power and did the same thing. He was no less than his wicked father. Immortality. If immortality was what they were gunning for, she would never allow them to get what they desired. Even if it meant burning all the ancestral lands. Returning back to her manor, Zhao Yao closed the door looking around. It was her first time being back to her manor in many months. All her life she had lived in the manor because she was hiding from Dai Chan's enemies. Why did she have to do that? All these years, shs had called in her enemy her brother. Even when he was evil and heartless. Xing Ming and all the rest of the royal family was her enemy. Tying a black veil over her face, Zhao Yao tightened the knot making sure that it w
Song Huo smiled as he reached Wu Huan. Just as he had expected, Wu Huan had found everything out immediately. He had denied being to the brothel. If Wu Huan knew, his identity would be suspected. “Are you heading back to the manor? Let's go together." Song Huo said as he wrapped an arm round Wu Huan. While Wu Huan thought about what Yu Bai had told him, Song Huo looked at Wu Huan's face as they walked to know what he was thinking. Although fate wanted the two of them to be enemies, Song Huo didn't have time for that. Walking through the streets, Song Huo saw Zhao Yao sitting in front of a sugar candy shop watching as they made it. “What is she doing here?” Song Huo asked out loud forgetting that he was with Wu Huan. “What is who doing here?” Wu Huan asked stopping as he looked around. Zhao Yao was sitting closely next to them. Song Huo moved in Wu Huan's view blocking Zhao Yao so that Wu Huan won't see her. She and Dai Chan searched desperately for the crown prince of Chu. They w
