4 First Love: Mo Xue 2

"Fall in love? What...?"

Before the Consort can finish his trains of thought, a sudden commotion can be heard from outside the door.

"We are very sorry, You Highness. The Consort has pa.s.sed away due to our negligence."

Jae Hee smirk inwardly, hearing the fake sob that belong to one of the concubines. Upon realizing that they are entering the chamber, he quickly lay down and pull the duvet up, covering his body.

The door swung open and a handsome man enters, followed by a handful of sobbing concubines, dressed to the nines. The man have no particular expression when he eyed the pale ger that was laying on the bed. As soon as he detect no movement on his Consort, he has already planned, on the back of his head, on what to write to his Royal Father, explaining that the peace offering is dead. However, just before he turn away, he spied a flutter on his Consort's eyelids.

Jae Hee pretends to wake up, fluttering his eyelids as best as he can, doing what he have watch in some dramas back in his life, before opening his eyes. His gaze directly fall into the handsome man's eyes, locking it in place, making him daze out, unable to think. All he can do is stare straight at those beautiful hazel eyes, drinking it all in.

"Argh... A ghost!"

The women that was 'mourning' a certain Consort's death just now are screaming in fright. Awaken from stupor, Jae Hee blinks a few times, before crunching his face a bit and let a tear fall out of his eyes.

"Prince..."

The chamber went silence with the sweet call from the pale ger. Even though his skin is pale due to sickness and his voice is a bit hoa.r.s.e, his beautiful face can't be hidden. The concubines starts to fume in anger when they realized the beautiful, porcelain like skin Consort is not dead. All of them are glaring at each other and turn their glare right back at the pale ger.

"Call out for the physician."

The handsome man approach the bed slowly before taking a seat at the edge. All this while, he keep his eyes on his Consort, noticing how the beautiful ger visibly scoot backward on the bed and keep glancing in fear towards the bunch of concubines that followed him before.

"All of you were dismissed."

Without even glancing back at the rest of them, the handsome man wave his hand, commanding them to leave the chamber. The women were furious, but they have to suffer their anger silently, obeying the prince's order.

As the women step out of the chamber with their maids, the Royal Physician enters with his a.s.sistant in tow. He bow his greeting toward the handsome man before approaching the bed.

"Check on my Consort."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The handsome prince step out of the bed, letting the physician take his place. He notice how the beautiful ger follow his step, with tears br.i.m.m.i.n.g his eyes. The physician gently ask for his hand, laying it on a small cus.h.i.+on, taking the Consort's pulse. A noticeable frown can be seen on the physician's face after a moment.

"What's wrong?"

----------

He was taken by surprise, hearing himself asking with worries. He doesn't know why but from the moment those bright blue eyes meet him, he feel a tug in his heart.

He watch as the physician release his Consort wrist, and instructing his a.s.sistant to go and concoct a medicine, while he, take out his bags of needles, and p.r.i.c.k into a few acupuncture spot on his Consort slim wrist.

"Your Highness, may I speak to you in private?"

He was watching the pale ger drift to sleep and didn't realize the physician is in front of him. After clearing his throat, to clear the stifle in his heart, he motion with his hand for them to move to the far corner of his Consort's chamber.

"What is it that you want to say?"

"Forgive me, Your Highness. It seems like your Consort have been poison."

"WHAT?"

A sudden rage cloud his mind upon hearing this. How dare they harmed what's belong to him?

"Yes, Your Highness. I found a small trace of cohort and wolf's bane inside the Consort's body system. However, you don't have to worry, Your Highness. I have ask my a.s.sistant to concoct a medicine to flush away the drug. As long as the Consort doesn't consume anymore of those drugs, he will be okay."

"Thank you, I really appreciate it. Answer me this... I've heard about wolf's bane being a poisonous substance, but what about this... cohort?"

He was asking because he simply don't know. He have studied his fair share of poison, but never once he heard about a poisonous drug called cohort. He notice how the physician frown a bit, glancing back at the beautiful sleeping Consort of his, making himself frown in unknown jealousy.

"Cohort is used to... prevent pregnancy, Your Highness."

----------

"Host, why are you pretending to sleep?"

"I'm doing my white lotus act. Just let me be. Can you found out what are they talking about?"

Jae Hee just simply close his eyes, pretending to have fall asleep. His system report back on what are the Prince and the physician talking about, noting about the reaction of the Prince as well.

"The Prince is acting weird this time, host."

"Weird? How?"

"In the original storyline, he simply have no particular response regarding your death. I mean, Jae Hee's death. He would simply write a letter of explanation and have you buried. But... according to my a.n.a.lysis, right now, he was completed enrage and worried about you."

"Isn't it good? Then it will easier for me to capture his heart, right?"

The system went silent over the logic of his host.

"Oh yeah, does the Prince meet with Jia Ru yet?"

"No, host. He will meet her in the next 30 days."

"30 days? But... Argh!!!! I need to capture his heart in less. s.h.i.+t! I thought you say I have 90 days to make him fall in love with me?"

"In 90 days or less, host. Don't worry, I will help you."

"Fine! I'm going to sleep now! My whole body is aching! Let me know about the Prince later, when I wake up. I want to know what his interest are, his favourite food and hobbies, things like that, okay?"

"I can tell you now, ho.."

"Shh. I'm sleeping."

Jae Hee slowly drift into sleep, this times its for real, not realizing, the Prince in question is towering above him, giving him an unknown look.
