Sheng Li sat on the bed and uplifted Ying Lili's head slightly. He opened Ying Lili's mouth and made her drink the water in which the pill was dissolved. After she was done drinking a few drops, he wiped her lips and then made her lay on the bed.

Lei Wanxi and Hu Jingguo were looking through the semi-transparent curtains. Sheng Li stood up from the bed and came towards them. "Can I check her… her highness?" Hu Jingguo asked. Sheng Li gave a nod to him.

Hu Jingguo went to the bed and sat on the stool. He took the hand of Ying a Lili and checked her pulse. Hu Jingguo placed Ying Lili's hand back over and looked at her worriedly.

"Why do you want to tell me?" Sheng Li asked Lei Wanxi.

"Brother Sheng, I had sent Wu Qinyang, the adopted daughter of the Governor of Wu Province to Juyan," Lei Wanxi stated. Sheng Li was perplexed to hear that when Lei Wanxi continued, "She is on our side. She has great acupuncture, medicinal, and martial art skills. She has brought something from there." Lei Wanxi forwarded a scroll to Sheng Li who grabbed it and opened it. "It's from Ying Lili's mother. So, she had left a reply to her," Sheng Li asserted and put the scroll on the table. Lei Wanxi nodded.

"Brother, Miss Qinyang told me that there was nothing suspicious going on with sister Lili's mother. She was even considering coming to the capital to meet her daughter. Apart from that, Ying Lili's aunt and cousins were also good to Sister Lili's mother. You must be thinking why did I send Miss Qinyang to Juyan all of a sudden? That's because I do not want you to send any punishment order for Sister Lili's aunt and cousins with no evidence.

Miss Qinyang had also informed me that after Sister Lili's message to her mother, the late widow of Juyan King was relieved that you were taking care of Sister Lili," asserted Lei Wanxi.

"What if this woman is lying? That Governor had rebelled against Han in the past. Even if he has accepted the Sovereignty of Han, I cannot believe nor can I believe his adopted daughter," Sheng Li proclaimed.

"She is not lying, brother Sheng," Lei Wanxi insisted.

"Wanxi, you want me to believe in a traitor's daughter. Who permitted you to do that?" Sheng Li suddenly bellowed at Lei Wanxi. Hu Jingguo stood up from the seat and came to them. "Did you ask me before making such a decision?" Sheng Li angrily asked Lei Wanxi who had lowered his eyes.

Sheng Li closed his eyes. "Forgive me. I will talk to you tomorrow. I am not in the right mood. Thank you for thinking about me," Sheng Li soon realized his mistake and apologized to Wanxi. He hugged Wanxi and said, "I know you want me to befriend everyone and do not want to see me in any trouble in the future."

Lei Wanxi hugged back Sheng Li. "It's fine, brother. You do not need to apologize. The sudden sickness of Sister Lili has worried you. Moreover, I know you do not believe people easily, that's why I told Miss Qinyang to bring something special for Sister Lili from her mother," asserted Lei Wanxi and pulled away from Sheng Li.

"Something special? What do you mean?" Sheng Li asked confusedly.

Lei Wanxi took out a ring box from inside his pocket. Hu Jingguo's eyes widened seeing the ring box. "I crafted it for Ying Lili on her mother's order. It has two rings which her highness's mother had designed from the jeweler three years ago when her highness reached the marriage age," asserted Hu Jingguo.

Lei Wanxi agreed with him. "What do you mean?" Sheng Li asked as he took the ring box from Lei Wanxi.

"Your highness, I am good at crafting too. These rings she wanted to give to her highness's future husband. She would not have handed it to Miss Qinyang for any reason. His highness shall not think that everyone around him is the enemy," Hu Jingguo remarked. Sheng Li glared at him and asked him if he examined Ying Lili.

"I did. She will wake up by tomorrow. Be gentle around her," Hu Jingguo asserted.

"Why are you using informal words with me and her?" Sheng Li asked him.

"It is a slip of tongue. Her highness and I are close friends so I am still not accustomed to using a title with her highness," Hu Jingguo proclaimed.

"You two shall leave. She needs rest. I will see you tomorrow, Wanxi, and will also meet that woman. She is here, right, or did she leave for Wu Province?" Sheng Li questioned Lei Wanxi.

"Brother, she is here. Okay, we are leaving, brother. Take care of Sister Lili. I think his highness shall not take Sister Lili to the Southern Province. She is in a weak state and if she starts the journey, she might get sicker." Lei Wanxi expressed his concerns.

"I cannot leave her here. Weng Wei and Jian Guozhi can harm her. I will delay the journey but will not leave her here," stated Sheng Li. Lei Wanxi nodded and then left with Hu Jingguo from there.

Sheng Li picked the scroll from the table and read it again. "Lili's aunt did not kill her then it is clear that Weng Wei had done this," Sheng Li clutched the scroll tightly.

Xue Yu-Yan was in the private chamber of Empress Wei, smiling. "An-Ying Lili will hate Sheng Li after this incident. You know what you have to do after this. Ying Lili should not have gotten close to Sheng Li because she will lose everyone close to her now. Because of her, Zhang Yong is in prison and he will not come back alive. So, now our next target is Hu Jingguo who saved Sheng Li. He has been getting on my nerves since the day he saved Sheng Li," pronounced Weng Wei and gave a wrathful grimace.
