"Mother, then you must ask Father to come quickly, or your son will be tortured to death."
The Empress looked tenderly at Lei Fan and nodded.
Xiong Ba and the others obediently stayed within the palace to rest, unwilling to get themselves involved in anything. Jun Xie went into the room not long after and when he saw the door shut tight, Xiong Ba felt that he was in the wrong and did not dare to go disturb her.
Unbeknownst to him, Jun Xie who had just entered the room had silently opened the window at the back. Outside the window, Ye Sha, dressed in all black, had been waiting for a long time. In his hand, he was holding the sword that had slit Lei Fan's neck. He slipped into the room and knelt before Jun Xie.
"Reporting to Young Miss, people from the Empress' Palace have gone to the Prime Minister's Residence."
"Oh?" Jun Xie raised an eyebrow.
"His speed is fast."
Ye Sha said: "The Emperor only gave them half a day's time and the Empress did not dare to delay."
Jun Xie sat down leisurely on a chair at the side and said: "Just watch. The Fire Country's Imperial Palace is not going to be peaceful today."
"Yes!"
Jun Xie said: "Go inform Lei Chen that he can make his move."
"Yes!" After Ye Sha said that, he leapt out from the window, his black shadow flashing a few times and he disappeared before Jun Xie's eyes.
Jun Xie rested her chin on one hand and tilted her head. She dipped her fingertip into the tea and scribbled some words on the table.
Lei Chen, travel-worn, rushed into the Imperial Palace alone. The Emperor was slightly surprised to receive news of Lei Chen's arrival. After confirming that he was alone, the Emperor allowed him to enter the Imperial Palace and first brought him to his study.
"Why are you here?" The Emperor was still worried about Lei Fan's injuries and he did not give Lei Chen a friendly look.
Lei Chen knelt on one knee before the Emperor and presented a brocade box with both hands.
"When I heard that Fourth Imperial Brother had been assassinated, I was extremely worried. Fourth Imperial Brother and I have been raised together by Imperial Mother's side since we were young, so our relationship is naturally different from that of others. When I found out about Fourth Imperial Brother's current condition of blood loss, I wished that I could take his place. Now, I could only bring the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom from the residence and send it to the palace. This Blood Lingzhi Mushroom is extremely effective in replenishing blood and is suitable for Fourth Imperial Brother to consume."
The Emperor was slightly taken aback. As he had wanted Lei Fan to replace Lei Chen as the Crown Prince, he had always seen Lei Chen as Lei Fan's enemy. But he had forgotten that the two sons had always been on extremely good terms. Although Lei Chen was the Empress' biological son, the Empress had not shown the slightest bit of favouritism towards Lei Chen, but had instead taken more care of Lei Fan, which had caused Lei Chen to dote on Lei Fan even more. Anything that Lei Fan liked, Lei Chen would never snatch it from him.
With that thought in mind, the Emperor no longer harbored any other thoughts towards Lei Chen's anxiousness in rushing into the Imperial Palace to deliver the medicine, and he was even feeling rather gratified in his heart.
Thinking about it, with Lei Chen's love and concern for Lei Fan, even if the position of Crown Prince was to be handed over to Lei Fan in the future, Lei Chen would not hold any grudges. And with Lei Fan and Lei Chen being so close, even if he were to become the Emperor of the Fire Country in the future, he would still take good care of Lei Chen.
The Emperor's mind was filled with a picture of a brotherly relationship and the expression on his face towards Lei Chen became much friendlier.
"I am very gratified that you have such a kind heart. Your Fourth Imperial Brother is now suffering such torment and you are still thinking about him. This Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, if I remember it correctly, you must have spent a great deal of effort to find it for the Empress Dowager? "The Emperor said with a laugh.
