" What did you just say?" His voice shook as he struggled to stand up, he lost all the energy as his entire body swayed.
"Your Majesty.. all the soldiers you had sent to capture the crown Prince and his companion, all died and seemed to be an intensive battle that went down in the desert.." he explained out again, eying the King sneakily.
Hearing the clearly pronounced terrible news, he stumbled back swaying while he puked blood, he fell down onto the cold floor and fainted.
"Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty...."
The entire Mental Cultivation Hall was in chaos as the soldiers dashed forward to check on him while the others went to look for the Imperial Physicians.
"Your majesty.."
They called as they carried him and placed his body on the bed that was in a room just behind the Hall.
The Imperial Physicians rushed in with their medical bags as they began examining him without wasting any time, it was an emergency.
They felt his pulse that was chaotic and then next his heartbeats.
"He fainted from anger and too much blood clots that had been accumulated in his spleen was vomited out." One physician spoke out.
" Let him rest for a while and once he wakes up, feed him the medicine I'm going to prescribe for him, make sure to follow instructions." Another physician said as he began writing the prescription down.
They were three imperial physicians, and after treating him they went back.
Since the Empress had been killed earlier on, he hadn't crowned another woman for that position.
The soldiers guarded the entire Hall and making sure no information about the King's sudden illness was spread out.
In the Ming Kingdom, King Jun wasn't feeling good at all, no matter how much he tried to concentrate on the memorials his mind was occupied by the Empress.
"Maybe I should go back and check on her secretly." He vowed as his Captains walked into the Mental Cultivation Hall.
"Long live your Majesty.." they knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
They were three in number as they paid their respect, they were in full gear and armor. They were equipped and the murderous aura that surrounded them was of heroic and several years of fighting in the battlefield and bloodshed.
"You may rise.."
"My King we have looked at the borders and realized our Southern territory is at risk of being attacked by many soldiers and could easily be infiltrated." The first Captain voiced out his thoughts.
"Mnnhhh.. go on.."
"So we discussed amongst the three of us and thought we needed a concrete solution."
" At the borders, we want to build some hidden traps that are used to trap animals.. since they don't know the place well no matter how much information they have, they would still fall for those tricks."
" Mnnn.. but that's if you have time to build those traps and also you need to cover them and place them strategically where they won't be easily noticed." The King responded.
" We also thought of dividing the soldiers, if our enemy is going to attack, they will start from the easiest spot to win and couldn't convenience them."
" If they manage to infiltrate into the Kingdom then our chances of winning will be slim since they will be fighting us from inside.."
" Mnnh you got a point there, first I need you to close the gates, they will be no more entrances or exits for the next several months." The King instructed.
" Yes your Majesty.. also we will need to build hiding tunnels that can help us escape or counterattack in the fields while the other weak soldiers will guard the Kingdom walls."
" All right start immediately, find the relevant ministers to allocate the necessary funds and requirements, I also need some soldiers to go into the market and buy foodstuffs, we can be safe in case of anything.." He had to make preparations in case of any emergency.
" All right your majesty.." they walked out of the Mental Cultivation Hall and proceeded to find the ministers so that they can start their plans sooner.
They didn't have much time, time was ticking and they needed to hasten their plans.
In the Forest, Aiguo, An Tang and Luo Wei returned back to their bamboo house as they went into the kitchen.
"I'm feeling hungry.." she mumbled as she looked into the pot that had soup earlier and found there was some leftovers.
"Place it on the fire and heat it before you can drink.." Aiguo instructed her as he went by with his chores.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom She placed the pot on the fire and after few minutes, she poured the soup into her bowl.
She placed a pot of water onto the fire and added more firewoods before she walked outside and sat down on the Veranda.
Aiguo got busy to prepare some meal while An Tang accompanied her on the veranda.
An Tang looked at her as she enjoyed the soup, "is it that delicious?"
"Of course it's, do you know that, there are people who are suffering from hunger? I'm lucky I can eat this wild chicken." She teared the meat as her lips glistened.
"Mnnn.." he nodded his head.
Wu Xue has been trying to wash the vegetables but still she couldn't get to do things right.
"Xie, how did you manage to do that?" She harrumphed in annoyance, how can she be defeated with this simple chore.
"Because when I was younger, I did them several time and that's why, how about we practice chopping the vegetables." She suggested seeing Wu Xue's hands had turned pale white due to prolonged soaking in the water.
"Sure.." they began chopping and cooking at the same time.
"Be careful of the burning oil." Wu Xue warned her as they got down to business.
In the Camp, Lin Fai and Zhou Feng with their team took two different directions, one drove to the East while the other one to the West.
It was around ten in morning, Lin Huang got tired of lazing on the table at the gazebo.
He walked down the corridor and finally arrived at the Laboratory, he found Zhou Hong busy with testing medicine while Zhou Hua was busy dealing with the blood test for the two guards who were poisoned.
"Lin Huang, what brings you down here.." Zhou Hua curiously turned around to look at him.
"Can't I look around?" He coldly responded as he clasped his hands tightly on back.
" Oohh you are free to so long as you don't touch anything.." he cautioned him showing how he had worn protective gears.
This place had all kinds of drugs, poisons, chemicals and they never allowed anyone to get inside.
