Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui and the Eighth Princes fighting and shouting at each other, in the eyes of others, it was just like a dog biting another dog, none of them were good characters and wanted to push the responsibility onto each other.

The Empress thought, if the Gu Shu ruler was not around, she was happy to watch this for a while longer, seeing if any results would come out of this fight between mother and son. The Eighth Prince could bite off two fingers from his imperial concubine mother, so he might just lose control and beat Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui to death. In the whole imperial harem, she was irritated with Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui the most. If she really died in the hands of the Eighth Prince, she would really clap her hands in glee.

But the Gu Shu ruler was here today, as the Empress of the nation, she could not air their dirty laundry in front of outsiders. Even though they have already lost a lot of face, but at least, she could not continue allowing him to see this commotion. Therefore, the Empress spoke: Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui and the Eighth Prince worked with a Gu Master from outside, harming the Emperor with Gu poison techniques, this sin is punishable by death. Seeing that the Emperor is still recovering, This One will issue a decree, first send these two to death row. When the Emperor recovers, the punishment will be decided then.

With the matter escalated to this extent, everyone knew, the Eighth Prince and Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui were finished! These two people were dark horses and after experiencing a few months of glory, they were unable to grasp the good final ending which they imagined, falling to the Ninth Prince in the end. Even the servants in the imperial palace were emotional. In the end, this was just a move in a game of chess, in the end, the Ninth Prince who was loved by the Emperor since young was more amazing.

A large group of palace staff approached, restraining the pair. Xuan Tianmo tried to struggle, but the Sixth Prince ordered the Northeast troops to help and very quickly carried the pair away from the range of Zhao He Hall, sending them to the death row prison.

That death row prison was not foreign to Xuan Tianmo at all. He had been here before, and had walked to the execution platform from this place. He had thought that he would never return to this place, but unexpectedly, a few months later, history actually repeated itself like a miracle.

The soldiers carried him and Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui in, choosing two jail cells facing each other, imprisoning one person in each one. Having the pair just face each other like this, it was really mocking.

When those soldiers left and the prison finally quietened down, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui glared at her son opposite, feeling very regretful. If she did not save him then, if she did not work together with that Gu Master at that time to save this son, even though this son would die, she would continue living on. As long as she did not make waves in the imperial harem again, even if she would not live a respected life, she would not fall to her current state. The more she thought, the more troubled she felt, the more regretful she felt, and could not help but say in anger: I should not have saved you! I should not have saved you at all!

Xuan Tianmo looked at his birth mother coldly, and no longer felt any shred of love towards this mother, filled with hatred. He said: Who asked you to save me? You made your own decision to save me, what, now you regret it? Do not think that I do not know what you are thinking. If the idea of abandoning me and giving birth to another son to inherit the throne did not exist in your heart, I would not have caused this much trouble for you. All of this, was caused by you! Sly hag! Finally, he harshly said the words sly hag, then contained in the gaze he directed at Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, there was a strong scorn.

Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui cried loudly and shouted: I raised an ingrate! I raised an ingrate! After saying this, she finally fainted completely and the area where her fingers were severed started bleeding, infected by the stagnant water in the jail cell and rotting gradually.

Xuan Tianmo did not feel any sympathy for this. Just like what he said, when he sensed that Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was already prepared to abandon him, he had already lost all hope in this mother. A mother who could even abandon her own birth son, could she still be called a mother?

At this moment, both his feet were in the drain of the jail cell, the stagnant water covered the top of his shoes, causing both his feet to feel cold. But this was not what Xuan Tianmo feared, what cold, what foul smell, what pain, all of this could not match up to the disease he had. Once that strange itchiness flared up again, he hated that he could not use a knife to stab himself to death. Earlier, he even allowed someone to withdraw 10,000 silver taels to buy medicine from Feng Yuheng, he did not know if that medicine could be sent into the jail cell.

Once he thought of this, he quickly shouted: Is there anyone? Is anyone there? Someone! Someone come quickly! This Prince has a question!

Under his constant shouting, two wardens finally came, but those two were very disdained with his shouting, and one of them even said: What This Prince? Do you think that youre still royalty now? Eighth Prince, this is a final reminder, after entering this death row, there is no possibility of going out alive. Even though you have broken this rule once before, but your luck has been completely used up with that time. Stop shouting again and wait for the verdict!

The two finished speaking, then turned around and left, not even listening to what Xuan Tianmo wanted to say. In their eyes, they were no different from dead people, including Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui opposite, she was currently slumped in a stagnant water pit, her clothes messed up and a pool of blood flowing out from her severed fingers. But no one paid attention to her, entering this place, even if she accidentally died, no one would ask about it. Regardless of ones status, it was the same.

Xuan Tianmo finally started to feel afraid, he was not afraid of the other things, he was afraid that after two hours passed, the itching symptoms would occur again, and that uncomfortable feeling was worse than death!

Leaving aside these two people in the death row prison, at this moment, outside Zhao He Hall, with the last order from the Empress punishing Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui and the Eighth Prince, all the concubines and noble ladies who wanted to see the Emperor were rejected. Everyone did not stay any longer and returned to their own palace courtyards.

At this time, the skies have already turned bright, and only the princes stayed outside Zhao He Hall, wanting to see the Emperor after he woke up. And that Gu Shu ruler left the palace together with Xuan Tiange. This was not the best time to see the Emperor, the formal meeting between the two rulers should wait until after his entourage entered the capital.

Because of the anesthesia, the Emperor still needed more time before he could wake up, Yao Xian was keeping watch inside and there were no major problems and Feng Yuheng walked out from the side hall, explaining the situation inside to the Empress and all the princes. When everyone heard that the Emperor was not in life threatening danger, they breathed a sigh of relief. Especially the Empress, she had suffered a huge grievance during these few months. Finally feeling that the skies had cleared, she also relaxed, speaking to Feng Yuheng with energy: You were able to do something after all, This One was really worried that His Majesty will continue being muddle-headed, until the day he gives the great nation of Da Shun to old Eigth and that woman, that would be Da Shuns misfortune. After saying this, she sighed deeply, then with the support from Fang Yi, she walked into Zhao He Hall to rest.

And that this moment, the people sent by Zhang Yuan also returned from Sheng Palace, holding 10,000 taels worth of silver notes in their hands, passing them to Zhang Yuan. These silver notes were obtained in vain, there was no need to deliver medicine anymore. Zhang Yuan gave those silver notes to Feng Yuheng while laughing, saying immediately: If I knew it would turn out like this, it would be better to ask for more! He was in a very good mood now, this Eunuch never had anyone else in his heart, devoting his whole heart to serving the Emperor. Now that the Emperor was well and recovered, treating him the same as well, it looked like that he become alive, becoming very spirited. However, he had not become so happy that he had forgotten everything and even reminded Xuan Tianming: Your Highness, the people who had served by His Majestys side in the past, many of them have been bought over by Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui and the Eighth Prince, and many of them have also been changed. Right now, there are very few people who can be depended on. I ask for Your Highness to provide some assistance and have some dependable people come over!

Xuan Tianming nodded, For these matters, This Prince will handle it personally, including the hidden guards around the old man, it is about time to change them to another group. In addition, the guards in the palace, it seems like This Prince will have to personally visit the prison later and get back the imperial guards commanding tally.

I will go with you. Feng Yuheng said, For people who had tasted glory for a few months, I want to see if they still think that they have a chance to turn the tables now. As she spoke, she casually pushed the 10,000 silver notes to Zhang Yuan: Take it, buy something delicious to nourish your body, you have suffered much during these days. In addition, isnt here a need to change the people around Father Emperor? Go look for those people with did not add insult to the injury when you got into trouble, did not distance themselves from you because you fell from your position and were even willing to help you. Human natures would only come out in the open during a time like this, those people are the ones who are worth using. After saying that, she walked towards the death row prison together with Xuan Tianming.

When the two finally stood in front of Xuan Tianmo, it was just past the two hours since Xuan Tianmo applied the ointment. And the itching symptoms flared up again. He was currently lying on the ground, scratching under this pants. Once he saw that Feng Yuheng came, he lunged to the door directly, not caring about his image, saying immediately: Did you come to deliver the medicine? Taking my 10,000 sliver, you should give me the medicine, right? Hurry! Feng Yuheng, give me the medicine quickly!

Feng Yuheng acted like she had heard the most amusing joke, she asked Xuan Tianmo: We are enemies! We are against each other! Why would you be so nave, thinking that after I receive the money, I would give you medicine?

Xuan Tianmo was stunned, Not giving me the medicine? Then why did you take my money? Why did you say that medicine was 1000 sliver per box?

Someone shrugged: Its obvious, I did this to cheat you of your money. Saying this, she cackled, Xuan Tianmo, thinking about it, your Sheng Palace is overflowing in fortune! Thinking about how I took out so much from the storage room in the back mountain, I didnt expect that it did not harm your vitality at all.

Feng Yuheng suddenly saying this caused Xuan Tianmo to forget about the itchiness felt by his body for a moment, he only gaped and looked at Feng Yuheng like he was seeing a monster. You emptied that place? He did not dare to believe it, even though he thought of this possibility before, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt it was an oxymoron, because that was impossible. But Feng Yuheng mentioned it without being prompted and forced him to believe it. That incident which looked and sounded mysterious had a strong relation to this young girl in front of him.

The guards in Sheng Palace were no match. Feng Yuheng sounded very contemptuous while saying this and after finishing, she looked at Xuan Tianmo who subconsciously stuck his hand in his pants to scratch, looking disgusted: Youre still the older brother, and you are so shameless to put your hand in your pants in front of your younger brothers wife? After saying this, she turned and asked Xuan Tianming, Husband, how do you think we should punish him?

Xuan Tianming showed an evil smile. This smile caused chills to run down Xuan Tianmos spine and he backed up two steps subconsciously. But without waiting for him to take a third step back, he felt a force tighten around his arm and his whole body was pulled forward by a huge force, hitting the door of the jail cell with a bang.
