Xing saw the Chief of the Lilai tribe who had gone pale seeing everything going around him. The lion left and she felt a burning rage to kill this man who had such evil thoughts to get back at a woman and he even hurt an innocent animal in the process. If it was back in her village, he'd be sent to the gorillas to be not returned but since it is here, she thought of another punishment worthy of his crooked mind.

Xing pushed him into the cage that he used to transport the lion and locked it. And then she called for the animal she hated.. The rats!

"Eat him alive!", she commanded and a bunch of rats came running towards the cage. It is the battlefield afterall, the rats aren't scarce there. And soon the place was filled with the gut wrenching screaming id the man being mauled by the rats.

Chenglie got down from the tree and he had no pity for the man who was screaming. If his woman is some weak one who cannot handle a sword, won't she have suffered intolerable cruelties from this man? He deserves it!

Xing saw Chenglie getting down from the tree and was about to walk towards him. The other men who were groaning and screaming profanities against her for treating their chief like that but she didn't care. How would words hurt her when she doesn't understand even a bit? Fools!

"Mingxia! This woman has gone crazy! Get her away from me! She is attacking me! ", the Emperor came out of the abandoned house with Chu Weiye on tow and she was wrapping her arm around his and was looking at him provocatively.

Xing changed her direction towards the Emperor and upon closer inspection, she could say that she was... Drugged...!

'This is impossible', Xing thought, 'we ate the same food!... Unless... '

Xing remembered that she gave the birds nest soup to her entirely and the aphrodisiac might be added in that soup. Xing observed her behaviour and it seemed like it is some potent drug that cannot be easily overcome with self-control. No wonder she is clinging in to Kouki without even fearing the repercussions of brazenly touching the Emperor.

"She is drugged... She may die! So help her relieve herself.... I'll guard the door", Xing waved her hand towards the house, "Or, if you feel embarrassed, I can go far away and keep others at bay giving you privacy "

"Enough! Did you have a hand in this Mingxia?", the Emperor wanted to ask Xing as he was clearly pissed but held back at the last moment.

She clearly wants me to find a woman urgently but she would never stoop this low! She despises people who use this method!

But somehow seeing her actively pushing him towards women so that she could leave him soon made him feel... Not good.

Selfish woman!

The Emperor took a deep breath looking at his brother who had his eyes only on Xing and not even acknowledging him.

Fine then! You two selfish people! Be well!


He swept Weiye off her feet and Xing raised her eyebrows in surprise not noticing the deep emotions he hid,

"Looks like your brother is going to grow up tonight!", Xing smirked and turned to look at Chenglie.

But the face of the man she saw whose chiseled features with shadows made by the small lantern around the house was gloomy.

Geez! What is this guy's problem? Shouldn't he be happy for his brother?

" Won't you give me a kiss, Xing?", he asked with his voice filled with pain and Xing saw his throat bobbling as he gulped down the pain from his heart rising to his throat.

He really didn't want to leave!

Xing felt a violent tug in her heart with his pleading voice. With her clad in her usual attire, her hair braided after a long time and fighting to her heart's content with the swords and Chenglie watching her from above , she entirely forgot the unfortunate position she is in, for the past few minutes...

Chenglie won't come home with me tonight! He won't hug me to sleep tonight after all these stress! We will part soon and he'll return to Shihong and me to the palace... I don't know when I could even get a glance at him again!

Seeing her face getting pale, Chenglie stretched his hands and walked towards her to give her a hug. Sure his moon must have momentarily forgot where they are!

Seeing him walking towards her, Xing snapped out of her sorrowful thoughts, dropped the bloodied swords she had on the ground and ran towards him.

Just as they reached each other...

"Protect His Majesty and Her Highness!", a loud voice was heard and they could see a group of soldiers running towards them with lanterns in their hands.

Xing tried to reach out to Chenglie's hands but he took a step back and smiled at her. His lips were trembling and his cheek was red, his eyes were misty and his silver hair in a lose ponytail fluttered in the wind making him look desolate and Xing's heart trembled with sorrow. Chenglie lifted his hand and pointed the cross bow he had at her.

*Whoosh*

An arrow passed dangerously close to her face and within a blink of her eye he wasn't in front of her anymore.

"Be well, my love"

His soft voice was carried by the wind that carried the scent of the mud around them to her.

All of it happened within seconds and Xing saw the soldiers approaching shooting their arrows in the direction Chenglie left.

Right! He is the enemy and I am the Empress!

Xing took a deep breath and got inside the house to get the Emperor and Weiye. Her hands were shaking out of disappointment and she fisted her hands to compose herself.

Xing, only a little longer! Once you help the kingdom get better and kill Old Rong, you can be with Chenglie always...! Be strong!

Xing calmed her heart telling herself these words and as she got to the inner room.

Minister Zao who watched her going in held his heart and took deep breaths to let what he saw tonight sink in.

He saw the Emperor and the Empress running here and he followed them secretly wondering of they might run into danger.

When he carefully got close enough to see what was going on, he saw the Empress swinging the Yin-yang sword skillfully and those men falling in her feet and as if that is not enough, she even talked a lion and sent it away...?

Also who is that silver haired guy who looks exceptionally similar to Huang Shengli. Wait... Did the Empress called him 'his brother" and why is he alive? What is going on?

Never in his life did he see a wife pushing her husband towards another woman and the husband being fine with another man getting close to his wife...

Just what is going on?

But he could not let another man touching the Empress and he clef for the soldiers who were almost near to them.

Then he remembered the Great General Zhong telling him to trust her no matter what she does. So he decided to keep everything in his heart till everything becomes clear to him.
