I am the crown prince

Back in Xohan Castle, The Emperor sat on his throne looking down at the bloodied guards that kneeled on the ground. He got informed of the ambush making him angry his heartbeat wild inside his chest, the pain evident on his face.

"You fools!" He yelled standing tall going near them his blood is boiling, his hands are shaking, getting near them he unleashed his sword and cut one of useless guards head on the spot, making the other Guard pee from fear.

"Take him!" He ordered his loyal guards staring in disgust at the messed up Scam

"Your Highness! I am innocent! I am innocent!" The Guard called out while being dragged out

The frustration and sadness clouded his mind and heart. The Emperor and the father of Zheng Lu went back to his throne, ordering people to clean the bloodied place then leave.

The Emperor collapsed on the Throne chair after everyone went, the sweat started to pour from his forehead.

Feeling his heart getting ripped from its place, the Emperor of Xohan's breath started to get weaker by time, making him faint on the spot.

The first prince heard the news and happily went to the throne room and before entering he masked his expression making the guard in the doors look at him weirdly. Ignoring their gaze, he went in not expecting the view that met his vision.

The Emperor on the Throne chair, clutching his chest area while looking dead, panicking the first prince called the guards to help him carry the Emperor to his room, then called the doctor who is now checking on the Emperor.

The first prince waited for the doctor who is checking the Emperor pulse, eyes, and temperature. Finishing with his task, the doctor ordered the eunuch to bring some herbs to brew it and make the emperor drink it daily, told him to avoid preparing oily foods for him, to only focus on feeding him healthy things.

"How is the Emperor?" The first prince asked after the eunuch left

"The Emperor needs to eat healthily, and get away from stress, and any negative emotion will be bad for him, so he needs plenty of rest." The doctor stated making The First Prince nod in understanding

"This humble one will leave, better make someone stay with the emperor to take care of him." He informed him bowing in respect then left.

'I didn't mean for this to happen.' He thought in regret

"I am supposed to get mad at you for putting me in prison, but I can." He murmured

"The Empress is here!" He heard an announcement making him stare at the doors in anticipating.

The Empress Hurriedly went in, directly to the bed where the Emperor laid without sparing her son a second glance, pitifully holding his hands while tears gathered in her eyes, for a moment she looked like a white lotus.

Opening his eyes, The Emperor found his hand being held and the woman who was holding his hands was the Empress herself. Pushing her hands away from him, the Empress tried to protest, but her son stopped her gesturing for her to leave, but she ignored him again.

Seeing both of their faces at the same time made the Emperor sick to his stomach, and like an angry kid, he stared at the walls refusing to say any word or even look their way.

"My Emperor!" The Empress called him, her expression turning into a sad one

"Leave!" He ordered calmly

"Empress, let's go! It's not the right time." Her son Whispered dragging her out, so they can talk privately.

The Emperor couldn't trust anyone anymore. The royal family is always scheming behind each other back, he doesn't doubt that one of his sons is the one behind the incident.

Back where Zheng currently is, she sat on the floor in front of a small table with bowls of rice on it. Staring at the rice, Mimi felt depressed she hates rice, well not literally; the problem is whenever she eats rice she gets hungry.

"I guess this humble meal isn't for your liking." Dr. Cheng told Zheng Lu when he saw the young prince hesitate.

The young prince felt embarrassed, without thinking he dug in faster than the human eyes and in a blink, the bowl of rice got emptied. The people around her couldn't help, but stop eating and stare at her, their mouth wide open in shock. Zheng Lu faked her yawn wanting to leave the place in a hurry.

"Goodnight." She told them rushing to her new room that she stole from Li Jie

"That was," The man said looking at her retreating figure

"Awesome!" Li Jie exclaimed

"I was going to say abnormal." He replied staring at Li Jie

"Both starts with A. So, they are the same." Li Jie stated

"It's better to ignore you!" Dr.Cheng stated

"Don't! Do you think I am stupid?" Li Jie asked

"Brat! Don't talk to me that way." Dr.Cheng started to get annoying

Poor Bo, her head kept looking from a person to the other while they barked like dogs.

The old man and Li Jie kept arguing the problem was that the argument made no sense; suddenly the old man huffed and left without finishing his dinner.

Bo's gaze followed the old man in worry, Li Jie scoffed, telling her not to mind him. After all those two people always bark like dogs then after a minute the old man comes back smiling and laughing like a fool, which was the case right now, the old man came back and ate his fill and left telling Li Jie to wake up tomorrow early so he can deliver the message.

Back to the castle, a slapping sound echoed inside the Empress Chamber. Her son's cheeks turned red.

"Are you out of your mind!" She shouted, the anger evident in her voice

"Mom! Are you slapping me for him." He said in disbelieve touching his cheeks

"I told you to leave him alone!" She sat on her bed, clenching her teeth feeling frustrated
