"An Affair?" the emperor said, raising his eyebrow in amusement.

"Yes, the man's name is Qing Xi" Zheng Yingjie said with pursed his lips.

Le Huan looked at the emperor who was grinning in delight.

"So he finally broke." The emperor said delightedly.

"You planned for this" Le Huan and Zheng Yingjie said in unison, the two paused and looked at each other eliciting a small chuckle from the emperor.

"Hmm, Na Juan I don't know how you do it but you're incredible, I haven't had sex with Wen Ying in 11 years. For him, he must hate all the spouse and out of 33 spouses, I only had 7 left now but before it was 17 and they were killed off" the emperor said.

Yingjie frowns but the emperor simply patted his head to reassure him.

"I'm sorry father" Zheng Yingjie said with a dejected voice and slumped shoulders.

"The damage is done, nothing can be changed. The only thing that can be done now is to stop your mother." the emperor said, "Na Juan my love" he called dotingly.

"What?"

"Do you have medicine that kills the effects of congee?" the emperor asked

"Simple matter" Le Huan didn't falter on answering but stared at him suspiciously.

"Can it be in a scented form?" The emperor acting as if he hadn't noticed his beloved concubines looking at him suspiciously continued to inquire.

Le Huan held the urge to roll his eyes before saying, "Yes I can do that."

"Well I want you to make it. Ah-ying you're going to plant that in a part of your mother's room." the emperor said with a cunning smile.

"What are you planning?" Le Huan asked curiously.

"If I can prove that the empress is an adulteress, then the power of the token is good as useless, the image of the empress should not be tainted in anyway now it's time to prove this, since knowing the empress he'll definitely scheme something" the emperor said.

"Hmm, I think I understand your plan and I think I know how to help you in this endeavor." Le Huan said.

After they finished discussing their plans Le Huan left the room for a while as the emperor and Yingjie are going to discuss something.

"Father"

"Ah-ying I'm going to make you the crowned prince."

"Wha- no clearly I'm unfit I did so many horrible things I-"

"And that is why you are the perfect one to carry on the burden, as the next emperor you have to be willing to do anything for your empire and what is good for it, you have to be willing to do the most horrible thing for the sake of your empire" the emperor said "you've already proven to me that you're willing to do anything to achieve your goals and you have the knowledge so I'm granting you the title of a crown prince" the emperor smiled.

'I see, so this is all on me now' Yingjie thought but still it made our little crowned prince shocked.

"B-but father if I'm going to become crowned prince doesn't it mean I have to at least 1 or 2 spouses before I am crowned?" Yingjie reminds him

"Tsk, fucking traditions" the emperor cursed without any reservation in front of his son.

"Don't worry father I'll see out my spouses and I'll make sure none is under the influence of mother." Despite being small, Zheng Yingjie's little face held the expression of seriousness that can be only seen from adult people.

The emperor smiled at his son mostly because he is happy he doesn't have to do the work himself after all, he's already stacked with work, if more's added on he might die.

Ting Ting was just admiring the bracelet when a voice could be heard from his back saying

"Xue"

Ting Ting's eyes shrunk, he didn't say anything and just pretend to not hear a thing.

"Xue"

"Xue"

"Xue"

The person kept on calling soon Ting Ting abruptly turned, clearly irritated from the continuous calling.

"Be quiet!"

"So it is you after all" the voice said coldly

"I don't know you!? I'm Ting Ting not Xue, Ting Ting!!"

"Ting Ting? Xue it's time for you to return to the family, we need you"

"My name is not Xue, I'm Ting Ting!" Ting Ting repeated what he said earlier.

"Xue if you don't come, we may all die including me, is that what you want?" The man asked, trying to elicit some sympathy from Ting Ting to convince him.

"I'm not Xue, I'm Ting Ting" he insisted, his temper flaring up thinking this man is beyond stupid and must have *water on his brain.
(E: implication of one being stupid/idiot)

The man looked down at Ting Ting's shaking hands then took a step forward as Ting Ting stepped back, the man's face morphed into sadness as tears pooled into the man's eyes gradually falling.

"Xue don't you miss me? I miss you, come back home please" he begged with tear stained eyes.

Ting Ting still remains determined and stubborn as a bull.

"No!" Ting Ting shouted ruthlessly.

"Ah, really now but you don't have much of a choice"
if one can't be convinced through a soft approach then might as well use force! The man silently thought as he suddenly took action.

Suddenly as if the world was swirlingTing Ting began to stumble.

"Didn't I tell you Xue your incredible hearing ability is both a blessing and a curse"
