XuanRong's footsteps stopped.
”A MALICIOUS WOMAN LIKE YOU WILL NOT LIVE A HAPPY LIFE!! YOU ARE A DEMON! A DEVIL INCARNATE!!”
Hearing Rui Fang Li's words, XuanRong laughed. Her laughter was very lively but was full of malice. Rui Fang Li could feel the chill coming from her body.
Without turning back, XuanRong spoke.
”A demon? Heh… indeed… I am a demon… I came back to life in order to hunt you down and make your life a living hell…”
XuanRong pushed the door and left, leaving Rui Fang Li rooted on the chair.

”How is Imperial Mother's health?”
Xu Ji An stared at Empress Wei who was laying on the bed. Her face was pale and her body was weak.
”Answering the Crown Prince, Her Majesty's health is not good. Due to stress and fatigue, her body was damaged. The Empress' anger should not be triggered. Please make sure that Her Highness would avoid anything that could raise her blood pressure. This lowly Physician will prepare a tonic for her. Please make sure to let the Empress drink it every day.”
Xu Ji An nodded and dismissed the Imperial Physician. He stared at his Imperial Mother who was sick and could not help but feel remorse. He knew why she fell sick. His Imperial Mother was already very tired managing the Imperial harem and because of the recent incident of Imperial consort Jin's miscarriage, his Imperial Father was now thinking that it was due to his Imperial Mother's malicious plot. Aside from that, he knew that the matter about him punishing one of his Liang Di[1] had reached his Imperial Mother's ears.
”Nghn…”
Empress Wei stirred and woke up.
”Imperial Mother!!! Someone, come!! Call back the Imperial Physician!!”
When he saw his Imperial Mother slowly opened her eyes, Xu Ji An frantically went forwards and held her hand.
”Imperial Mother… Imperial Mother… how are you feeling?”
A mama immediately entered the room together with a few palace maids and help Empress Wei. When she successfully sat on the bed, Empress Wei turned her head and saw her son, Xu Ji An, looking anxious. Using all the strength she had, Empress Wei raised her hand and slapped Xu Ji An on the face.
*pa!!*
Xu Ji An's face turned red but he did not say anything. All the servants present including the mama immediately knelt on the ground.
”Please, Your Highness, quell your anger.”
The servants simultaneously spoke as they remained kneeling.
”All of you, leave.”
Empress Wei weakly said as if the slap she gave tired her.
”But, Your Highnes----”
”BENGONG[2] IS TELLING YOU TO LEAVE.”
Without any choice, the servants left one by one, only leaving Xu Ji An and Empress Wei alone.
