Shi Min is very grateful to He Di for agreeing to see Chang Liu at night, and leads He Di hurriedly back to the small courtyard, she announces whisperly in front of the curtain, “Princess, Prince He Di is here.”

It’s obvious that she has been waiting anxiously inside, she answers immediately, “Please come in, it’s big problem, I don’t care about the trivial rules at the moment.”

“Yes, prince please.”

Princess Chang Liu doesn’t care, let alone He Di who has always been the most unruly, he immediately follows Shi Min into the forbidden inner room of The Tong Kingdom’s imperial concubine. As soon as he enters the curtain, he sees Princess Chang Liu difficultly sit up from half lying position, she makes a weak gesture and whispers, “thank you for your trouble His Highness Prince, he has no choice but to be invited late at night.”

There are still traces of tears on her face, her face is thin and pallid.

With such a lonely and helpless appearance, when men all over the world saw it, nine out of ten of them couldn’t help but feel sorry to pity the fragrant and cherish the jade. It’s a pity that He Di was born not to know how to write these words ‘pity the fragrant and cherish the jade’. Even if he has a little bit of ‘pity the fragrant and cherish the jade’ instinct, he probably won’t waste it on Chang Liu.

(怜香惜玉 literally pity the fragrant, cherish the jade: to have tender affection, protective feelings for the fairer sex (idiom): It means a metaphor for the man’s care for the beloved girl).

He Di graciously chooses a comfortable place to sit down, and says, “Very well, we both know it’s late at night, so you don’t have to waste time talking about it, let’s get down to business.”

He’s so rude and presumptuous, listening to Chang Liu who a lot of worries, he’s not comforting with empty words which pleasing to the ears instead. She says in her heart, this Prince He Di is really different from Qing Li, it seems that she has invited the right person for this big problem.

With a slight gesture, Shi Min hands the secret letter to He Di.

What kind of person He Di is, after taking a hasty look at the secret letter, he already understands what has happened, after reading it, he doesn’t have the interest to express sympathy with the look of shock and grief, he says casually, “With this secret letter alone, it’s certain that half-poisoning matter of Duke Ming has been done by Li Kingdom. Does the princess plan to reply the letter from the Li Kingdom?”

Chang Liu is not sure too, so she invited He Di, pondering for a while, she then tentatively says, “It is difficult to get through the news because it’s so far away from Li Kingdom to Tongze. Looking at the meaning of this letter, as long as I follow the instruction of The King of Li and concealing Wen Lan’s matter from Duke Ming, i can save imperial father’s life. It can be seen that Li Kingdom doesn’t know that Wen Lan’s trap has been uncovered by Duke Ming…. If Duke Ming was willing to keep the secret for me and pretended that he didn’t know, then I could reply and promised him, to postpone for the time being…”

He Di sneers, “The princess thinks so easily, is The King of Li so easy to deceive? What’s more, in the case of Wen Lan, beside Duke Ming and us there are still a hideous mess of guards and attendants, can you guarantee that none of them will leak out? Aside from anything else, even if Duke Ming was willing to help you, but The King of Xirei would definitely thoroughly investigate the origin of the fake Du Feng. As soon as he checked and it showed that you have seen through the matter, who could you hide it from? Sooner or later, the news would let The King of Li know, even if you lied, it would delay no more than few days, but once The King of Li found out that you were playing tricks, he would surely kill your imperial father to vent his anger.”

The caching strategy that Chang Liu finally comes up with is swept away by He Di with a few words, she says in a panic, “What the prince said is true… But… But now I only have this bargaining chip to deal with The King of Li. Otherwise… my imperial father…”

Shi Min pleads from the side, “We women are not knowledgeable enough after all, and we only hope that His Highness will give us some advice..”He Di says with a smile, “What is there to think about such a thing? There are only two ways in all.”

Chang Liu says hurriedly, “Prince, please speak”.

“The first way, if you have the ability, immediately return to Zhao Bei, rescue your imperial father, and wipe out both Fan Jia and Li Kingdom by the way. When we men do things, whoever has harder fists is the boss.”

Chang Liu and Shi Min are in grief and helplessness, how do they know that He Di is still in the mood to tease at this time, they almost fainted in anger, but now among the three of them, He Di does have the most experience in foreign warfare, and Chang Liu can only endure and continue to ask for advice, “What about the second one?”

“The second…”

“Prince! Where is the prince?”

He Di has only said a few words when he’s suddenly interrupted. Hearing the shout, He Di jumps up like a leopard, lifts the curtain, and shouts, “Kong Liu, is there any enemy?”

He’s accustomed to the pirate’s life of killing at any time, sudden reports of Kong Liu has long been common occurrence, he asks about the enemy reflexively, but he’s very unperturbed and calm.

Kong Liu rushes like a strong wind, the man gasps for a breath before he stand still and reports “It’s not good, something happened to that man! This subordinates has ordered someone….”

Before he finished speaking, He Di’s unperturbed and calm complexion change drastically, he rushes down the steps and leaves everyone behind, he rushes like an arrow toward the small courtyard where Ziyan is located.

He Di acts astonishingly, he rushes back to the courtyard in one breath, stretching out his leg and kicks the door ‘slammed’ open, he shouts “Ziyan!”

Before he left, there’s only immovable Ziyan in the room, but now there are a few confidants, and everyone is sweating profusely. They were anxiously pressing Ziyan who was rolling in the middle of the carpet.

“Prince!”

Hearing the sound of the door being kicked open, everyone looks up in panic, and they’re relieved when they saw He Di, they hurriedly say, “After the prince left, the man suddenly moved…”

“This subordinate doesn’t know what happens.”

“Kong Liu rushed to inform the prince…”

“He’s struggling so hard that none of us can press him down!”

In the moment of their speaking, Ziyan immediately makes a sudden effort and unexpectedly almost break free, everyone panic and increase their strength to hold down again.

He Di breaths a sigh of relief before coldly snorting, “Do you want to escape as soon as the poison is receding?”

He walks quickly to the bed, intending to teach the man a lesson, when he saw Ziyan’s face, he’s shocked and shouts, “Damn it! Who did this?”

Even the blind can see that the man is in extreme pain, every muscle in his straight face is twisting and twitching. He struggles hard, almost overturning a few robust sweats on his body. Obviously, under severe pain, his strength is different from ordinary people. Without the help of everyone, even He Di can’t stop him. In an instant, he bends his arm and slams his forehead against the wall.

“Ziyan!” He Di is scared to death.

An attendant risks his life to stand in front of the wall at this critical moment, he’s immediately hit and screams, collapses and turns into a small shrimp.

He Di doesn’t hesitate to hold Ziyan firmly and looks up, he looks as ferocious as a wounded beast, and he roars, “Come and hold him!”

Everyone hurriedly rushes up and presses Ziyan again, He Di has time to free his hands and hurriedly touched Ziyan’s forehead, it’s soaking cold and there’s no temperature at all, it’s as if He Di also falls into an ice hole.

He risks his life and death among the pirates for countless times, and the thrilling has always been just a stimulating condiment, he never knew that there’s such a frightening thrilling in this world.

Ziyan is pressed by everyone, though he can’t break free, he’s still wriggling about, shaking his head desperately, the muscles on the back of his neck are so tight that they seemed to break at any moment.

His eyes are wide opened, even though he seems to be looking at He Di, he actually lost focus. “Ziyan, Ziyan, hey, can you hear me? Say something, say something quickly.” He Di calls loudly, for a moment he doesn’t know what to do, his palm wipe the cold sweat on Ziyan’s forehead, but it becomes wetter and wetter, he feels the pain like a knife being twisted in his heart, and his hands gradually tremble.

There has never been the words fear and heartache in his dictionary, and at this moment, he also doesn’t know that he himself is already feeling fear and heartache, he finds that his hands are trembling slightly, because he merely feels that it’s difficult to restrain the raging murderous spirit beneath.

If he ever knew who did it, he must make the person to suffer all kinds of tortures in the world until he died! Together with that bastard’s family and friends, one by one they would be cut into pieces, fried in a frying pan and thrown into the sea!

Who!

The Bastard!

Dare to touch his Ziyan?

They’re looking for death! And still looking for the most terrible way of death in the world!

Just at this time Kong Liu, who has been left behind by He Di, also enters the door with panting, when he comes in, everyone is still suppressing Ziyan and He Di is wiping the sweat for Ziyan at the side with terrifying look on his face, he can’t help but anxiously says. “It seems that the poison mentioned by Lady Yaoye has been acting up, where’s the prince’s antidote?”

His words are like a thunder, and He Di who has his mind turned into a bottle of paste, suddenly awakened.

So that’s it!

“Antidote!” With a wild roar He Di jumps up and pulls out the sundries box next to him, it’s all rolled up and crossed over disorderly as if it was turned over by the storm, after a moment he found the small bottle given by Lady Yaoye, he pulls out the lid and pours it down, a small black pill appears in his palm, it’s black and shiny, and seemingly unusual.

In fact, in addition to magic incense poison Ziyan also has another kind of poison, Lady Yaoye has already said it clearly in advance, and still specially gave He Di a year of antidote.

But after He Di gets Ziyan back, he thinks that since it’s an antidote for a year, the attack should act up at least three months or half a year after, and it shouldn’t be too late to feed it a few days later, he hide the antidote bottle away and put all his energy on how to take advantage of Ziyan to his heart’s content these few days.

If one asks who is the culprit dare to do such things to Ziyan, His Royal Highness Prince He Di who is full of lust in his head, is the right answer.

But what kind of person He Di is? Introspection has never belonged to his style of doing things, while assigning the guards to rush over to fetch water, he grits his teeth and curses, “I knew it was that dead woman’s good deed! If anything happens to my man, I’ll burn her broken valley, catch her, and let all the brothers rape her ten times and sell her to the brothel! Not only her, i will castrate that damn bitch’s son too!

While he’s scolding, the guard has brought the clear water and He Di grabs it, after thinking for a moment, he feels that there’s only one pill and Ziyan is out of his mind, if he accidentally lost it while feeding it, it would be very bad. He’s back to Ziyan’s side and signal to everyone to press harder and don’t let him break free.

Regardless of whether the so-called antidote from Lady Yaoye is another poison, he looks up and chews the pill into his mouth, and put a little bit of water, he estimates that it will be better to mix it up with water then he holds it back in his throat before he lowered his head and press his lips on Ziyan’s, he pries open his teeth and then send it in, he’s so nervous that he stops breathing and eagerly observes Ziyan’s next condition.
