Legend of the Ruler Sword
63. Putting Revenge aside.

A spacious room was a contest belonging to the emperor, there were ten palace servants and also a healer who faithfully guarded the emperor, making sure their lord was fine. A thin mosquito net separated them from the emperor who had been lying helplessly on his back.

The door of the room was open displaying Bai An's figure who entered without permission, actually outside earlier he was intercepted by the bodyguards so that he did not go inside but instead Bai An was his name if he did not manage to enter.

"Honor the nineteenth prince." the healer's speech was followed by the servants who were now gathered to pay their respects.

"You all get out!"

"But Prince, right now he can't be in kun-"

"out! Or do you want me to release one-on-one?"

The servants trembled in fear hearing that, they certainly knew from a long time ago that Bai An's reputation was not that good, that of a mischievous and merciless prince. Everyone would naturally be frightened by that one prince.

They all complied with a heavy heart, afraid that Bai An might injure the emperor but they also could do nothing more than get out of there.

After making sure they all came out Bai An looked at his surroundings, he was indeed not an expert at sensing energy, let alone that energy that had been hidden. Bai An immediately moved to an object where burning fragrances, he affixed the sacred flamboyant Yuan gave him and burned it with fire. Instantly the fragrant aroma comes out so soothing, he said this can repel the evil energy.

After finishing with the fragrance, Bai An now moved towards the bed, opening the thin mosquito net that covered the bed. As soon as the mosquito net opened the emperor's eyes, he apparently realized that someone had come.

The emperor was very thin, as evidenced by his protruding cheekbones. Drooping weakly in bed like he would never be able to get out of bed again.

From the look in his eyes the emperor looked surprised, although he did not say any words but now his face was frightened.

"W-you came un-to kill me?" he asked with great difficulty, only to let out a few words he seemed so troubled.

Why did the Emperor ask that? Of course he still remembered how he treated Bai An, after all, he never forgot the torment he gave every night because he was too disappointed with Bai An who was not so talented and actually had a flawed meridian. Bai An was indeed his son, the son he had very much hoped to become a successor but upon hearing Bai An was not talented in cultivation, he became afraid that his son would not reach level nine.

The Emperor himself believed that if Bai An hated him too much, since he had left and his return here was definitely to avenge himself, now was the right time to avenge.

The Emperor was the one who was the most unapologetic, but at the end of his age now he wanted Bai An to forgive him. Bai An was his only son with the queen, the son whose birth he had been waiting for and at that time it was the emperor himself who injured his son.

Bai An did not answer him, he turned to a medicinal herb on the table, he put the golden yarrow leaves that were in his grasp. With his cultivation he dissolved the leaf with a medicinal herb.

This golden yarrow leaf was a medicine taken by Yuan in storage near the lake, this magical leaf could neutralize all the evil forces and also change the fate of someone who was about to die. But so rare, it was fortunate that it was in that storage room.

Bai An fed it to the emperor without a word, his expression was also flat. The Emperor did not refuse him, he did not know what Bai An had fed him but he kept trying to swallow him. If it was poison he would still receive it as ransom for his sin there was Bai An.

"If you don't know then I'll tell you, what makes you like this is your favorite son. So never accept any food or drink from him, do not let him change the fragrance of this room" said Bai An in a too flat tone.

After saying those words Bai An stepped out his feet, not caring about the emperor who seemed to be very surprised by Bai An's words.

Once outside the room, there were servants and healers there. Bai An stopped his steps and looked towards them.

"Don't let anyone in until tomorrow morning, even if it's the queen or the crown prince."
