Shelly's point of view...I asked Suchin and Manger to arrange the meal, actually, before entering the palace he already ordered them to prepare lunch for us, which was just served when I ordered, "Where is your favorite maid, Aali?" he asked confusingly, "That...Old Witch took..." I stopped suddenly, I am an idiot, I couldn't imagine what I was going to do, "What... what did you say?" he heard it, shit...!How should I cover it up?"No... it's just, my aunt asked for her..." I retorted, still looking at him, his facial expression changed, he wasn't angry but he raised his brows, thinking about something deep.Well, I think I can ask him to bring her here, can I?"Do you want her back?" he asked himself, my face brightened at just hearing that, first time in this life I felt that this man is a human, I mean a better person."Can you get her back?" I asked him immediately, without giving him a blink to change his thoughts, "Oh... sure why not..!" his words dripped honey, but why di

Xicheng's point of view...I know what that excessive bleeding was for, it happened before. Many of the concubines of the previous Emperor and one of my concubines in the palace died because of this deadly poison, not only that, my mother died of this too.At first, I thought it was the Empress mother who did that but seems like it wasn't her because no matter how clumsy she is but Luli is the only connection that she can use against me and she will never kill her.I need to find it out, I have to investigate this matter, of how that poison was given to Luli.The Imperial doctor is well known for his knowledge of poisons, so I asked him to gather some information about it.This time he prescribed the best medicine he invented by himself, after all those deaths, we have been trying to find the source but we couldn't manage to find that yet.That medicine has to be taken thrice daily along with some spiritual energy, so I had to stick with her no matter what she does.It's a very bitter

XiLiang's point of view...As soon as my brother left that scrap's palace, I went there and lit the knockdown incense to make them sleep and finish my work easily.After waiting for a while, I pranced into the room from the window, she and her maids all fell asleep to make my work easy, I got near to the bed and saw her sleeping with her face covered, that's it, what else do I want, I don't have to see her face too.It was dark in the room and my hands have my knife waiting for this one day, I raised my hand and tried to dig that knife into her. But I don't know why I hesitated, this is not the first time that I wanted to kill someone, I am a general I don't talk much as my sword does. Then why was I hesitant?This won't help me, I need to do something else to get rid of this scrap. So I decided to light the entire palace on fire but those maids did nothing wrong, I can't kill innocents, so I decided to save them, which I can do after I light the fire here. So before doing that I po

Xi Cheng's point of view...I left her to rest as I have another thing to attend to, Ahzong said that that girl, XiLiang is fond of, is going to perform in the restaurant, and he refused to go get her, but I will, for him.I disguised myself in normal attire and then went out of the palace.When I reached that restaurant, it was dark and empty. I asked Yifeng to enquire about that dancer, and he came out so soon along with the in-charge lady of that restaurant.She made it very clear that there was no such announcement made by them, in fact, that girl didn't visit them from the day she was abducted by Ahzong, and she even thought that he might have killed her.I asked her whereabouts and that old lady made it very clear that that dancer didn't reveal anything except for her name Yanshu.I ordered Yifeng to call for an expert artist who can draw a painting of that woman with the features described.Soon a young man came to me to tell me that he already had the painting as he was impres

XiCheng's point of view...I was confused by XiLiang's behavior, he was furious at Luli all this time, and he wanted to kill her no matter what. But suddenly what got into him, was that he was acting weirdly today.He even called me to ask about Luli, if she has a sister, or who else she has in her family. His extra interest in my wife is giving me a sense of insecurity.I can't get a bit of it, let alone speculate anything.His panic and his hesitation gave me a different kind of fear that something is going to be destroyed.I know it is rubbish, I can't doubt my brother but her bewitching beauty is beyond everyone's control.I can't let this happen, I have to pace up my relationship with her, and only then I will be able to calm myself.XiLiang was never a man admiring beauties, but why do I feel that other than the girl he saw in the inn, he is also interested in Luli?He said that he is leaving today but there isn't any kind of preparation seen here in his palace."Aren't you goin
