928 Slap with Borrowed Hand – First Form 4 (1/2)
”The reason Little Fan could be saved today was all because you made it here in time! If not, I would have really have been at a loss, not having the slightest idea what to do!”
When the Emperor heard the Empress' voice, a smile came upon his face. No wonder the Empress had said she knew of an alternative cure. The person within her chambers must be a Divine Doctor she had brought in!
Just as the Emperor was going to push the door to enter once more, another voice floated out that froze the smile on his face.
”Your Ladyship sent the news over with such high urgency, how would I dare to tarry in the slightest?”
That voice, was clearly the voice of the man who had assisted the Emperor for more than a decade, the current Prime Minister of the Imperial Court!
Why would the Prime Minister appear here in the Empress' Chambers?
The Emperor's brows knitted together, but he was thinking that he could possibly have misunderstood something here.
”Is it really because this Empress here harried you endlessly? Or was it because the father was in a hurry to come see his son?” The Empress' voice reached them, a teasing tone in her voice.
”Little Hui's words are really killing your lowly servant. Little Fan is my son, but didn't you give birth to him with me? My heart pains to see what happened to my son, but aren't you feeling just as pained?”
The Emperor's face grew absolutely livid in that instant!
Little Hui was the Empress' maiden name before she was admitted into the Palace!
”What a curse! Your Ladyship had really been almost frightened out of my wits today, I really cannot fathom what the assassin is after. He really thought he could make use of Little Fan to harm the Emperor's body. But if not for the fact that Little Fan is not the Emperor's biological son and his blood wouldn't been able to save Little Fan, why would your Ladyship try all ways and means to hinder and dissuade him so much?”
”My Little Hui has been truly intelligent and quick witted which had prevented our son's real identity from being exposed. I pity the Emperor for his blind foolishness where he had even mistaken our son for the child that he had with that wrench and showed showered him with such tender and loving care. If he were to know that Little Fan is the flesh and blood between you and me, I wonder how he would feel.”
”Such a twisted mind. If he got to know about it, would the three of us still have a chance to live? Your Empress had been left with no other choice that I summoned you here today and now that Little Fan's poison has been neutralized, you should leave quickly before that damned fool finds out that you came into the Palace and stir up unnecessary trouble.”
