In Many of her lives she schemed and plundered whatever stood in her path because she wanted to be free from this crippling obsession. Many will call her vile and wicked but she had to do so much to escape the curse body of a gent to reconnect with the man whom she truly loves to reconnect with the children who adored her.

"You can't fool me"

"But I'm not, to be honest I was there, many times" she said walking over to the table with incense and then lights it and puts it in the pot.

"The night you were drugged, the pregnancy and his death were all a part of my plan. You hated me so much that I wanted there to a way to divert that hatred somewhere else and who was more worthy than an annoying tramp"

Zhao glares at him, "so you manipulated him! Wen Ying aren't you afraid of the heavens?"

Wen Ying froze for a moment, and soon her lips twitched twice. "The heavens you say?" As if something snapped she turns to face him touching her chest. "Haven't the heavens wrong me first?!"

Qing Xi attacks the emperor who was on guard rustling can be heard above it seems as though the shadow guards are dealing with someone else. Zhao was in a state of confusion, what was going on with Wen Ying and what was his end goal?

"Zhao, why are you happy? YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY!!" Wen Ying yells

Soon Zhao staggered back and the sword slightly grazed his shoulder, it was then he noticed that there was a burning sensation inside his chest. He looks around swiftly but soon gets distracted as Qing Xi attacks once more.

Le Huan looking outside can't help but feel paranoid, the emperor will be fine! He told himself.

Le Huan looks at the needs and a small bag with a pouch can't help but feel something in his chest, he pushes it away. It's an emperor! He told himself.

His words may seem sincere now but it will never last! He told himself, Le Huan had never been in deep love. His long life that was filled with research and herbs made him numb to the idea of romance and it was only until reaching a certain point in his life he looked back and realised the sister whom he was 10 years older than was already a married woman with two kids.

While he was at the pinnacle in his career she was at the pinnacle in her life and maybe deep down inside he felt envious of the life she had. Le Huan didn't know why but he suddenly snapped back to reality when he realised he was at the emperor's palace in the rain, it was strange.

Zhao kicks Qing Xi off then jump over him putting the knife at his throat, he huffs feeling dizzy.

"Na Juan wanted power, and in times like these what for people us means is a child. So the stupid child became the toy that I needed and on the night of the silver week, you became vulnerable."

"You manipulated Na Juan, just so I can direct this feeling towards him then what?"

"He serves his purpose then dies, simple! But what I didn't account for was someone else taking over his body... I should have known though you did mention this phenomenon or rather the other you".

Zhao didn't understand but what he knew is that Wen Ying needs to be stop, but suddenly he feels dizzy and begins to stagger back. Qing Xi pushes him back he then takes out a pill from his pocket and eats it.

"In the end the cycle will start a new with the ending of your life, Zhao."

Just as Qing Xi was about to stab him, Qing Xi hissed seeing a needle stab through the back of his palm as he drops the sword. Le Huan pushes him aside and then Zhao.

"YOU!"

"You're crazy! I know he is an asshole but you shouldn't kill him for it,"

Wen Ying looks at him, "who are you?"

Le Huan ignores her and looks at the emperor who was breathing heavily, sniffles the air Le Huan freezes. "Spider's Breath?" Le Huan mumbles.

Wen Ying froze, there was no way. The only one could ever know, the poison that not even modern day people know. "the fact that you know this, only one person could recognize it so quickly... something that's only known by him who tinker with poison... Le Huan or Should I say... older brother,"

Zhao was confused, "Le Huan?"

Le Huan was stunned, he was looking at Wen Ying and Zhao was looking at him. Le Huan didn't think of the possibility, it never crossed his mind.

"Who are you?"

Wen Ying feels angered, how could he ask such a question, when it's his fault!

Le Huan was confused but he looks at the empress and only sees anger in her eyes, soon Zhao begins to cough and groans as his chest feels in pain.

"Ah, I must get you out of this soon, don't worry." Le Huan said.

"Leave?! No!"

Le Huan takes out a needle and three it after her, but by an inch that slit her cheek she dodge.

"Le Huan, leave him alone! He must not live!"

"... Who the hell are you to tell me that!"

The emperor feels dizzy, he can barely think his head hurts, his mind was unstable, but looking at Le Huan's and hearing his name he remembers something. But before he can say anything he sees something behind Huan he then pushes Le Huan out the way as there was a flash of light and blood splattered against the floor.

"ZHAO!"

Staggering back Zhao huffs as Qing Xi falls to the floor bleeding out from his neck. He looks at Wen Ying with sad eyes.

"S-stop this, Ying Ying".

"Zhao,"

"Le Huan, ha, Le... Huan".

The emperor collides to the floor as sounds of the sword reach the ground.

"ZHAO!"
