The Empress sat at the side of the bed in a daze as she stared at the sobbing Lei Fan and hurried to comfort him.
"Little Fan, don't cry! What had happened? Didn't the Imperial Physician just give you medicine a few days ago? Why did your face suddenly change back? "
Lei Fan said through gritted teeth: "Your son does not know what happened as well. I only know that a beast suddenly threw something at my face in the Imperial Garden and by the time I realized it, I was already in the same situation as every time the effects of the elixir wear off."
"Did anyone else see your face?" The Empress was shocked. If anyone saw Lei Fan's face, then everything would be over!
Lei Fan replied: "Only Jun Xie!"
The Empress pursed her lips and thought about it a moment before she said: "The Jun Xie you speak of, is he the youth that your Father asked you to win over?"
Lei Fan nodded, his eyes red from crying filled with hatred. "That's him! I tried to invite him to meet me but he rejected me time and time again. He must have submitted to the Crown Prince! Now that he has seen your son's face, he will definitely tell Lei Chen about it! If Lei Chen knows about it, he will definitely report it to his Father! Mother! Mother, you must save your son! "
The Empress's heart skipped a beat. The development of the situation had exceeded her expectations. When she had first thought of this method of exchanging the crown prince with a civet cat, she had gambled her life on it. Once this matter was exposed, only death awaited them.
"Little Fan, rest assured. Your Mother will handle the matter properly. Do not worry. You have just been through so much torture and this is the time when you need a good rest." The Empress said as she looked at Lei Fan, her heart aching for him. Lei Fan had been highly favoured by the Emperor all these years and now that the Emperor was about to depose the Crown Prince, to make Lei Fan the heir apparent, she would not allow a youth to spoil her many years of plans!
Lei Fan sobbed as he looked at the Empress and finally lay down calmly. But his heart was filled with fear and the desire to kill Jun Xie.
After the Empress comforted Lei Fan, she immediately wrote a letter, detailing everything that had happened that day. She then told the letter to one of her most trusted guards.
"You can head to the Prime Minister's Mansion right now and pass this letter to him. Tell him that a long sleepless night is fraught with dreams, and that he must settle this matter as soon as possible. Furthermore … it must be done cleanly and without a single mistake!"
The guard nodded repeatedly, changed into a set of dark clothes, and immediately rushed out of the palace.
The Imperial Banquet had lasted for just a mere two hours, but it had stirred up a series of waves within the entire Fire Country's Imperial Palace, and the citizens who had already entered into a state of deep slumber within the Imperial Capital were completely unaware that the Fire Country was about to change very soon!
Inside the Immortals' Loft, Jun Wu Xie and the others had just returned. They had all gone back to their respective rooms to wash off the stench of alcohol from their bodies and they did not immediately gather together to discuss what had happened tonight, but had instead rested and rested up their spirits for the time being.
But Jun Xie was not at ease as she lay upon the bed, her mind replaying everything that had happened at the banquet today.
The Emperor's and Wen Yu's reactions made her extremely curious. She raised her hand and looked at the silver ring on her finger.
This ring that he had picked up from the stone hut at the Heaven's End Cliff, what kind of secret did it hold? He was able to attract the attention of the Fire Country's Emperor and the Grand Adviser in just one night?
Jun Wu Xie closed her eyes, her mind recalling the words left behind in the stone hut.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and the silver ring was right before her eyes, reflecting the light from the candlelight!
