Hao Ming opened his eyes as he had finished praying, and found Jing Yi glaring hatefully at someone from afar. He glanced towards the direction of her glare, and saw his brother Fu Yue Long near the edge of the river praying together with his servants gaining tons of attention from those around him.

Hao Ming could see the slight shiver and the anger that was radiating off of Jing Yi. He looked down at her tightly clenched fist, seeing the effects his brother Yue Long had on her he was pissed. However, it was suddenly the last thought in his head when he saw droplets of thick red liquid dripping onto the floor.

"Jing Yi..." He called gently and softly. Pulling Jing Yi's attention to him and not on Yue Long. Hao Ming gently picks her tightly clenched fist and loosen it before he pulls her away from the river. He ordered Si Yun to get some gauze pad and bandage.

"You don't have to... its just a small cut." Jing Yi said as she looked away from Hao Ming. She felt extremely comforted at the fact that Hao Ming was here, she just doesn't felt safe to be with Yue Long. Even though the wind that night was brewing so strongly adding to the fact that there is an icy cold feeling coursing through her body, she felt warm beside him.

"Don't be stubborn." he said softly as be saw Si Yun rushing towards them with the Gauze Pad and Bandage. Hao Ming pulled her to a water pump as he got some water out to wash her hands, before he placed the gauze pad on her cuts and use the bandage to wrap everything up.

"Thank you" Jing Yi said as she stared at Hao Ming, he only looked up and flashed a smile at her. Now that her injury have been taken care of, Hao Ming mind wonders off to her and Yue Long, just what went on between them? Why does Jing Yi look like she hates him?

They continued strolling down the streets as they bought some buns and snacked on them. The dark sky that was lit up by the stars, was like a scene from fairytale. They sat at an opened space as the gazed up at the sky. A cold chilling wind blew towards their direction, Hao Ming took off his coat and placed it on Jing Yi's shoulder.

"Thank you." Jing Yi unconsciously smiled at his gesture, it was really heartwarming. She looked over at Si Yun shivering and stood up, she grabbed her Si Yun's hand "Lets go home, it's a chilly night."

Jing Yi took off her coat and handed it back to Hao Ming as she heads into the manor. As soon as Jing Yi had entered the manor,

"San, check if there is any relation between my brother and Jing Yi."

"Yes." San said before he turned and left, Hao Ming did a double take on the manor before he went back to the palace.

The next morning, Hao Ming and the other prince were summoned into the court to attend to the morning court. The right officials were on the right and the left were on the left, lower officials are situated at the back while the higher officials are at the front.

"Long live your majesty!" they synchronised, as they bowed towards the emperor. The Emperor told them to forgo formalities as he allowed them to raise.

Guo Fu, the left prime minister stood forward, "Your majesty, there is a report of someone called Fodore secretly recruiting citizens to revolt near the Fu Wang village. The other citizens are being oppressed and forced to do labours for those under Fodore. The citizens who don't know anything are under the impression that Fodore is one of your majesty's people, leaving a bad impression on your majesty in the citizen's eyes."

"Outrageous!" The Emperor boomed, causing everyone to drop to their knees as they beg for the emperor to calm down.

"Imperial father, why not we sent someone to check it out. Fodore could be someone sent by the NanJing kingdom to cause havoc in our kingdom." Yue Long said, then he turned towards Hao Ming.

"I believe Eighth younger brother should go, he is intelligent and skilful in martial art he will be able to take control of the situation and get rid of the Fodore if he is a spy." Yue Long added.

The ministers who are supporting Yue Long agrees with him and believes that the emperor should sent Fu Hao Ming to oversee the situation. The other ministers also agree as he is indeed intelligent and skilful.

"Hear my decree, Fu Hao Ming, the eighth prince will head to Fu Wang Village and inspect the area. If Fodore is a spy from NanJing Kingdom kill without hesitation, if he is our citizen capture him and throw him into the prison!"

Fu Hao Ming kneeled one leg on the floor as he bowed towards his father accepting the decree, he had to leave in a week time. His heart felt amiss when he looked at his brother Yue Long, but he decided to not read too much into it.

The news of the famous eighth prince leaving for Fu Wang village is spreading among the people. Others were glad that someone will finally put a stop to the potential NanJing spy, while some felt suspicious about the situation.

The day for the Raining ceremony is nearing, and at this time the one who the people had chosen in their heart to take the throne have to leave, it really do raise some suspicion. Previous years, the emperor was the one who had prayed for the rain and this year was the supposing year for his sons to make it rain. Yet the most outstanding one had to leave.

News spread and it soon fell into Jing Yi's ears, hearing that Hao Ming will be sent to Fu Wang Village causes her heart to stir slightly. She know what is happening, and she knows how it'll end up. She was contemplating whether she should allow a few hints to reach his ears.

"Si Yun" she softly called her servant into her room, Si Yun had grown to like her Young Miss a lot and abided to her everything. She of course know that her Miss is not as easy and simple as what she led on to be.

"I'm here"

"Today, Hao Ming's first class bodyguard would return from BeiLing and visit the MiYan teahouse. What will he say if he realised that his master will soon fall into a beauty trap and could potentially be killed at Fu Wang village?" She asked.

"Inform him?" Si Yun asked.

"En, we just need them to be aware of the situation." Si Yun nodded her head at her young miss words and knew what she needed to do. After Si Yun left to do what she needed to do, Jing Yi leaned back into her seat.

Lets hope you'll live a longer life this time.
