The Queen Of The Dark
Rebirith Of The God Of War [CXXII Chapter]

In order to reward Taizi, they accepted the request to eat at the same table.

Bai Yun and the two Wei brothers went to great lengths to swallow food that was repeatedly stuck in the throat, never minding that one day they would be able to eat with Imperial Crown Prince Huo peacefully. Repeatedly glanced at Taizi Huo Jiazhen, making sure none of this was a dream.

Prince Yun Fengyin and Lei Hu were the most patient people because they were able to be level-headed in the face of the murderous son of their second family member, Tao Jianying casually had no problems at all.

The dinner is over. Taizi Huo Jiazhen took a handkerchief from under her shirt, wiping the excess oil in her mouth.

“Crown Prince...,” call Yue Liang Zhi using low tone. He had observed the posture and face of Taizi Huo Jiazhen, finding a strange giraffe that had been trying to close tightly. Wanting to do something other than rub the fur of the animal, he released the spirit beast to go rolling on the bed.

“Ya?” Huo Jiazhen turned her head along with everyone, she gulped realizing this was the first time the boy had called out to her. Nervous without logical reason.

Yue Liang Zhi was now the center of everyone's gaze inside the tent, not the slightest awkwardness and chose to keep her mouth open to make sure of something. “Does the Crown Prince often feel dizzy or tired at certain times? Like when doing a short activity, you will feel tired and dizzy quickly. When you practice your style by forcing your body to work hard, you will nosebleed and faint. Even when you are silent, you need a tonic to support your body in order to last longer.”

Taizi Huo Jiazhen widened her eyes, “how could you know?!!”

“You have rested until the afternoon, rode here and dined with us. Should be, your lips should be fresh instead of a little pale. Your eyebrows are repeatedly wrinkled holding something back, your eyes also blink a few times in two seconds like maintaining consciousness.”

Everyone was flabbergasted to hear Yue Liang Zhi's analysis, this was the first face-to-face meeting for the two, but the boy was able to diagnose the complaint in detail without any mistakes just by paying attention to facial mimicry. It was like an experienced old pharmacist who had been in the medicine World for decades.

Tao Jianying, Wei Jun, Wei Shuwan, Bai Yun and Lei Hu later justified that basic knowledge. Thinking Yue Liang Zhi had learned the basic technique of checking the health of Patriarch Wen Hua within a few months.

Huo Jiazhen's smile faded as her lips grew pale, “ya... You're right.”

As expected of the personal disciple of the Patriarch of the Qinglong sect, it was very ingenious and not easy to be deceived.

Yue Liang Zhi's outstretched hand touched Huo Jiazhen's wrist, checking for a weak pulse and lack of vitality. Sighing heavily after finding another complaint, “after you are unconscious, you will lose control over your body. Raging like crazy, and will return to normal after a few hours.”

Taizi Huo Jiazhen's mouth opened and nodded, she was dazed when she felt a strange sting after the skin of the two touched. “True, I often fainted and suddenly woke up to be someone else,” he replied still slightly feeling something unexplainable.

Yue Liang Zhi let go of that touch, she was unaware of Huo Jiazhen's abnormality.

Prince Yun Fengyin voiced out from the left, “how bad is that?”

Taizi stared blankly in confusion. In terms of Yue Liang Zhi's questions, she could take a bright spot from her strangeness all along.

The herbal tonic that had been consumed was the concoction of the Imperial apothecary, the apothecary was a member of the Lu Clan who was a graduate of the fallen sword peak in the Tianshang sect. He was not interested in any plants and never planted any plants around his residence, except for Empress Lu Qiaofeng's favorite flower planted by the Empress herself as a seventh birthday gift.

“Fanhui tonic and flowers Ranshao de jiqing.”

“It is only right if the impact is like that,” Yue Liang Zhi smiled back thinly after receiving information on the path of the scourge of the throne inside Emperor Huo Palace. “Tonik fanhui can indeed restore vitality and spirit, if consumed periodically will also nourish the body condition. With the ranshao de jiqing flower, people who consume the tonic can inhale the flower for two minutes and will encourage the effectiveness of the tonic works threefold. But, already consuming tonics and inhaling flower juice for years will result in the inability of the body in accommodating the capacity of the tonic effect, you will be crazy at certain moments.”

Those at the table fell silent after digesting Yue Liang Zhi's explanation, the conspiracy behind the Palace was terrifying! Everyone there is full of pretenses!

Huo Jiazhen's hand clenched, 'apothecary of the Lu Clan, Empress Lu... They all seem to be intent on eliminating me from eight years ago, ' he felt lied to and fooled. “Good, I understand,” the response from him elicits a tone of deep disappointment.

He stared blankly at the dirty chopsticks above the bowl, struck by the bitter reality. The position of the Crown Prince is an office that the Emperor wants to seize for the third Prince, the Empress's affection has been a rotten falsehood that has been ingrained. Remembering the Emperor, he was again aware of his purpose here, “Emperor wants to force you to be his person.”

“I know,” tails Yue Liang Zhi eyes narrowed glancing at the expression of concern from her friends, on the other hand feeling warm for their attention. “Emperor asks you to enter the tournament there must be a special purpose, right? Rather than follow his wishes, you better come with us and I can heal you. After all, your arrival here must have reached the ears of the Emperor, so there is no need to hesitate to do anything else.”

“Seal!” Huo Jiazhen stood up from her seat, after feeling that there was nothing more to discuss, she finally asked the soldier to clean the bowl and glass without caring about the feelings of the subordinates. Then walk straight intending to get out of the tent, “I will be back.”

Yue Liang Zhi shouted after the figure brushed the tent cover, “we did not deliver.”

...****************...

The day had passed, the entire sect disciples and the Clan were taking out an identifying plaque. All seemed ready to enter the tournament, new faces looked excited without knowing the word backwards.

The sound of ear-splitting trumpets made Bai Yun plug his ear hole with his index finger.

The group of eight members walked leisurely as everyone ran in spirit entering the forest, the level of carnage was so contrasting. There had not been the presence of Taizi and the second Prince in their group yet, either, in fact Yue Liang Zhi this morning requested that they meet after entering the forest in an attempt to reduce the hatred of other sects and Clans towards that small group.

Anticipating other people's displeasure with them was not a mistake, precisely they did not want to form a group of enemies before the tournament began.
