The next morning, it was announced in court that the emperor had finally decided to accept women into his harem. The ministers were elated by the news and the people even more so. Wei Yun'er, on the other hand, flipped the table when she heard this. How dare he?! After all she had done for him! He had promised to love and accept only her so what was this?! No this wouldn't do. She stood up and went over to Xian Taiwen's study to confront him but was denied entrance at the door. She threw a fit, how…-

He Yuan patiently waited for the time when the emperor and empress usually had their relaxing walk in the garden together. It was a habit they began when they started trying for a child without results. Whether it was to digest their evening meals or to remind themselves of their love for each other, he had no idea. He was walking around the garden entrance with his roommate eunuch Lu. When he noticed the emperor and empress approaching steadily, he pretended not to see them and turned to eunuch Lu and…

The next morning, Xian Taiwen was fully recovered. He Yuan didn't care at all as he'd already carried out his mission successfully. As for what he did to Xian Taiwen? Simple. He'd rendered the son of heaven infertile. For the common people and court ministers expecting an imperial descendant, he was sorry, no dragon kin coming from those loins. Ha Ha. The imperial bloodline wasn't going to end anyways. There was still the completely healthy third prince. The rumours he'd spread days ago, on the other…

Xian Taiwen had taken the bait. He slept in his courtyard last night and He Yuan was very happy. His happiness increased when he saw teams of imperial physicians rushing in and out of the emperor's courtyard. He was beyond elated when he saw Wei Yun'er rushing in and out of Xian Taiwen's courtyard, looking barely presentable. She must be alarmed. This was good. He Yuan tried to get in several times but didn't succeed, he wasn't alarmed though. This was a delicate period and they were trying to keep…

Early the next morning, He Yuan was on his way to the emperor's courtyard. He had added a laxative to the meal of a low ranked eunuch the night before. This particular eunuch was one of the few that were tasked with cleaning the emperor's bedroom. Since the eunuch was deposed, He Yuan was selected to join the cleaning crew. He'd made friends with a bunch of low ranked eunuchs and even paid tributes to some higher ranked eunuchs so they had no issue with bestowing him with this 'opportunity'. The…

A few weeks later, He Yuan finally received clearance. He refused to think about the horrors he went through in order to hide his 'complete state' as he went through the post castration procedures and what not. On this fateful day, he walked about the imperial palace like there was a stick up his asshole, after all, he just got castrated and was still healing. On the surface, it looked like he was trying to learn how to diligently carry out his duties but deep down, he was scouting for information.…

The ruffians met up with the eunuch who was already wringing his wrists in impatience. When he spotted them, he scowled in displeasure. "What took you so long? Do you think I'm as free as you? If not for the hefty sum you offered, I wouldn't even agree to this. My life is on the line here." He breathed in slowly through his nose to calm himself and then ordered the little eunuchs by his side to carry He Yuan in. The leader of the brutes scratched his head with a dry chuckle and threw a bag of coins to…

After two more years, He Yuan was fully confident in his acquired medicine skills and was ready to confront the 'special ones' again. He informed the Wei family that he was setting out on a personal trip for enlightenment in order to widen his horizons as he dwelled amongst the common people whilst offering his services. There was no way he'd tell them he was heading back to the imperial capital. If they knew, general Wei might smack his medicine skills out of him and the ladies would mouth his head…

He Yuan drove the carriage for three more hours before encountering a small settlement. He hid the Wei family members in a shallow cave outside the village, changed his disguise and entered the village with his carriage. It was still quite early but a few homes had their lights on. Out here in farming villages such as this one, the citizens tended to go to bed early and wake up even earlier. By now the emperor and empress must have figured out something was wrong. They may very well be soldiers sent…

The next day, He Yuan was in high spirits. This was the day. Servants were running around and the imperial palace was teeming with soldiers. Using the mini chaos as a cover, he snuck out of the palace and prepared a carriage at the back gate. His teeth hurt when he calculated the amount used to buy the fast carriage but he quickly swallowed his heart ache when he remembered it wasn't his money. He also bought some unremarkable clothes and a few ingredients in order to make more human skin masks for…
