The Qin Royal Palace
"Long Yuan, how's your soldier's investigation? Did they get any leads on the perpetrator?" The emperor asked his brother.
"In reply to the emperor's majesty, based on our investigation, a few days before the princes Qin Wu Zhu and Lu Zee were harmed, he said, five men entered the capital and stayed at an inn for several days. There are residents who say if their behavior is a little suspicious. And even stranger, they went out of the inn unannounced to the owner to coincide with the prince Qin Wu Zhu and Lu Zee being harmed." General Long Yuan.
"really that? Then who are they?" Emperor continues.
"Yes your honor. For the identities of those five people and where they are now, we still continue to search for them. But according to their servant it seems to be a spy from the noble Lian." Answer Long Yuan.
Hearing his sister's reply, emperor Qin was shocked.
"Speek Lian? You certain? Then what was the reason they came to the capital?" Keep emperor.
"It's still an alleged temporary servant of his majesty. Servants had the thought that they came to the capital related to the whereabouts of Lord Song. The last time Mr. Song was seriously injured and was briefly treated temporarily by prince Qin Wu Zhu. So it's possible that they injured the princes Qin Wu Zhu and Lu Zee for not telling them where the masked man was." Obviously Long Yuan.
"So you're saying they're looking for Mr. Song to invite him into an alliance with them?" Ask emperor.
"According to such a servant, your majesty. Because they also heard of Mr. Song's prowess, so they wanted to get the man to join." Long Yuan Sahut.
"If that really happened then the fate of the Qin kingdom could be on the edge. But as far as I know the masked man is not the type of person who is easily tempted by the worldly lure." Emperor.
"Surely, my lord, I am also of the mind. But there's nothing wrong with us being on standby to be ready for the worst to happen." Said the general.
"You're right Long Yuan. Qin's security affairs I leave to you. And don't forget, tell the gate guard soldiers to tighten the entry of people into the capital." Emperor's message.
"For that I have done for two glorious weeks." Reply Long Yuan.
"Alright then, you can leave now. If there's any more news soon you call me." Emperor continues.
"Okay, my majesty, I'll resign first."
After saying goodbye and saluting, general Long Yuan left his brother's study.
As usual, the healer would examine Qin Wu Zhu and Lu Zee every morning while continuing to heal the wounds that were all over the bodies of the two young men.
However today some healers felt astonished after conducting the examination because they detected that the poison levels in Qin Wu Zhu's body and his bodyguards were already reduced so that the state of the two young men became better than preceding.
Soon physician Xie and physician Nuan gave the report to the Qin emperor.
"Is that really a healer?" Asked the emperor in disbelief.
"Based on the results of our examination today it is indeed so noble. The pulse of the noble prince and young master Lu Zee began to stabilize." Clearly physician Xie.
"It's weird, how could it suddenly be like that? Didn't you say that they both got rare poison?" Ask the emperor again to be sure.
"The poison matter is true of the noble. As for the weirdness that happened, we still don't know the cause." The physician Nuan.
For a moment the emperor Qin Shi Huang fell silent. The man seemed to be thinking.
"Yes, you guys continue with the task I gave you. If there's anything else, report it to me immediately." Emperor's orders.
"Okay, your honor." Answer the two healers in unison.
The weirdness that happened to Qin Wu Zhu and Lu Zee's body became the subject of a warm conversation in the court physician's bureau.
Physician Lou, who often handled Miss Chu who experienced something similar, finally attributed the oddity.
The recent news about Qin Wu Zhu being declared better than ever was welcomed by all the palace residents especially the members of his family.
Right now his four brothers were gathering in Qin Wu Zhu's room.
"I hope that with this good news, the condition of second brother gets better and heals as before." Said Wang Er.
"We all also hope that way Wang Er. Until now, the culprit has not been caught either. I wonder who would dare to do that to a royal." Zhi Er.
"I just got word from Uncle Long if the culprit is likely Lian." Zhang Er.
"People Lian? Is that really the first brother?" Wang Er asked slightly surprised.
"Most likely so." Zhang Er replied.
"They're looking for a masked man." Lei Er who had been silent since then finally opened her voice.
"It looks like they're looking for Mr. Song to ally with them." Added Zhang Er
"With Mr. Song's sincere nature being like that, I don't think he would want to ally with the notoriously crafty Lian." Said Zhi Er.
"I also think so. But now the masked man was as if he disappeared after being swallowed by the earth after being severely injured from fighting with the demons in Qianzhong." Zhang Er's.
"Second brother who was last with him also did not know where he was now. I'm really curious about that guy. If only I could study him, I would be great like him." Wang Er.
By midnight...
For the umpteenth time Chu Pian Ran attempted to treat Qin Wu Zhu. Midnight was the third time the girl had come to Qin Wu Zhu's room.
After doing the treatment for two hours and laying down the young man's body again, Qin Wu Zhu's right hand suddenly blocked Chu Pian Ran's left wrist.
The girl was surprised. To get away from that place without the knowledge of the owner of the room was no longer possible.
"Miss Chu..." The young man said slowly.
"Your highness prince, are you conscious?" Chu Pian Ran asked.
"Am I sick? My body feels really uncomfortable..." Continue with a weak voice.
"Right, your highness the prince, you're in a terrible pain and I'm trying to heal you." Chu Pian Ran.
"Miss Chu, please don't leave, please accompany me here..." Pinta the young man was still holding onto Chu Pian Ran's left wrist.
"Your highness prince, you're sick right now, you better get back to rest." Chu Pian Ran said.
"I beg Miss Chu, please accompany me..." The young man pleaded with a sad and pale face.
Inevitably, Chu Pian Ran finally obeyed the young man. He then sat down on the edge of Qin Wu Zhu's bed.
The young man now had already grasped Chu Pian Ran's right hand and placed it over his chest.
"Thank you..." The young man said slowly.
Before long, the young man fell back asleep with his right hand still firmly grasping Chu Pian Ran's right hand.
Without them noticing, there was a pair of eyes peering at them from the gap of the room door.
That pair of eyes belonged to the third prince, Qin Wu Lei.
I don't know why, at midnight last night he suddenly wanted to see his brother.
And when he arrived at the door of the room he was very surprised when he saw there was a girl who was treating her brother.
Qin Wu Lei's memory is still very clear if the girl is the daughter of a royal advisor who had made a scene at the ceremony of the ordination of concubines.
Qin Wu Lei was still keeping an eye on the movements of the girl.
After an hour later felt Qin Wu Zhu's hand grip weaken, Chu Pian Ran pulled his right hand and got up on his feet.
After closing her eyes for a while the girl changed her shape to a butterfly and flew out of the room through the vent.
It was no surprise that Qin Wu Lei witnessed the incident.
It felt like he really could not believe that a human being could turn himself into an animal.
****
The next day, word was heard in the Chu residence that the princes Qin Wu Zhu and Lu Zee were unconscious.
All the palace residents were very happy with this event.
By continuing to get treatment from the healer, the condition of the two young men increasingly improved.
Finally, the competition was pulled back by the emperor because it was no longer needed.
