"Since she tried to use those spies to ruin my reputation, how could I not reciprocate her feelings? Using the same method, I will make sure that her reputation would sink to the bottom of the abyss. I pretended to look weak in order to create a rumor that the eldest young miss of XiangFu was being bullied inside her own house. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Xiao Lou should suffer first."

After finis.h.i.+ng her tea, XuanRong stretched her hands upward.

"Okay enough of that. YuShen, where is the golden ant?"

XuanRong stood up and walked towards the inner room. YuShen and YuYing automatically followed XuanRong.

"XiaoJie, the golden ant is being taken care by Shu Er. Ever since we arrived at XiangFu, it was Shu Er who was taking good care of all the insects XiaoJie raised since it was not safe here."

"Ah? It's not here?"

"Yes, XiaoJie, the golden ant is not in here."

"Oh.. nevermind. Tonight is full moon. You must prepare everything carefully. Do not let other people inside the courtyard. Dismiss all the servants and do not allow any single soul to roam near my room. This is not Lu Shan. We have to make sure that nothing will go wrong. There's no room for errors, do both of you understand?"

Hearing XuanRong's serious words, YuShen and YuYing nodded.

"This servant understands."

"Mmm…"

Hours pa.s.sed and it was already night. The entire Qinw.a.n.g Fu was in a frenzy. The idiotic prince's illness once again relapsed, making Mu Qing nervous. He could not help but pace back and forth as he waited for the imperial physician to come and cure his Highness.

"Is the imperial physician still not here?!"

Mu Qing's loud voice reverberated in the entire room, making those servants serving Xu Fei Yi s.h.i.+ver in fear.

"Chief Mu, this old servant already sent someone to the palace and brought the Fu's token in order to request for a physician. Don't worry, he will be here soon. His Highness will soon be fine."

Hearing the housekeeper's a.s.surance, Mu Qing's anxiousness had been reduced a little bit but he could not keep still and continued walking back and forth.

"Uuuhh.."

"YOUR HIGHNESS!!"

When Mu Qing heard Xu Fei Yi's painful moan, he immediately knelt on the bed and subconsciously hold Xu Fei Yi's hand. Feeling the coldness of Xu Fei Yi's body, Mu Qing felt like his heart had been stabbed countless of times already.

"Your Highness, what is it? Please tell this old servant. This old servant will listen to His Highness."

"I wa… see… waa…. Fu… Jie…" Xu Fei Yi struggled speaking every syllable. In order to hear Xu Fei Yi clearly, Mu Qing moved forward, placing his ear near on Xu Fei Yi's mouth.

"Waai…fuu… Jie…Jie…. F-feyyy…err… wa….ntss t-to….. see… waai…fuu.. Jie…J-jie…"

Hearing Xu Fei Yi's words, Mu Qing froze. He could not believe that even when His Highness was being tortured in pain, he was still thinking of Lady Xuan.

Such dedication!

Such love!

Mu Qing's eyes reddened and nodded. After returning to the capital, His Highness had been constantly urging him to visit Lady Xuan but he would always refuse because he was afraid that visiting to Prime Minister Xuan's residence would only bring harm to His Highness. Not looking at His Highness' pitiful face, Mu Qing tried his best to harden his heart against His Highness plea, but now, he could not help but lament. He wanted to smack himself for being a jerk, depriving His Highness of his happiness.

"Your Highness ah, once you are healed, we will visit Prime Minister Xuan's residence and look for Miss Xuan. This servant will promise."

Hearing Mu Qing's words, Xu Fei Yi's eyes glistered with happiness.

"Chief Mu! The imperial physician is here!"

Mu Qing immediately stood up and went outside to greet the physician. Since Mu Qing's back was facing towards Xu Fei Yi, Mu Qing did not see the evil smile on Xu Fei Yi's pale face.

When Mu Qing left, only three servants left and the eunuch, Zhang Wu Li, who was standing at the side of the bed.

"The three of you may leave."

Zhang Wu Li dismissed the remaining servants, leaving only him and Xu Fei Yi inside the room. When the only person left was the young eunuch, Xu Fei Yi rose from the bed and sat upright.

"Your Highness! Do not move! You have to remain lying on the bed." Zhang Wu Li immediately a.s.sisted Xu Fei Yi, trying to persuade him to once again lay on the bed.

"I am fine. This illness will not kill me."

"B-but, Your Highness----"

Not listening to Zhang Wu Li's words, Xu Fei Yi slowly stood up, planning to leave the bed. He pulled his outer garment that was hanged on the drawer and slowly dressed himself.

When Zhang Wu Li saw that Xu Fei Yi had started dressing, he could not help but be alerted.

"Your Highness, what are you doing? Why are you wearing your outer garment? Are you planning to leave? You must not! Mu Qing will soon return together with the imperial physician form the palace. You cannot leave and disappear here! Your Highness---"

"YUE s.h.i.+N."

When Zhang Wu Li heard Xu Fei Yi called his hidden name, he immediately kneeled without any second thought.

"Y-Your Lords.h.i.+p."

"I will not comeback until tomorrow. You have to make sure that nothing will go wrong during my absence. That's an order."

Yue s.h.i.+n did not have any choice but to obey.

"Yes, this servant understands."
