Yesterday as soon as court was adjourned, he found out from Jin Ling and Jin Xiu Ying that Jin Huan had been misbehaving and before Jin Ling could even come up with a plan of rescue their father had gotten the news and immediately sent out Fan Longwei and punished Jin Huan with confinement. Thus Jin Huan had been unable to leave Frost Palace to greet him upon his return as he usually did for any of his siblings who had been away.

The sound of hoofs clopping through the window of the carriage have started to fade, signaling that they have arrived at their destination. Jin Ling straightened up from his slouching position from his cushioned seat and stretched his legs as he peeked through the curtains of the small window of the carriage to assess the situation of the Qin Residence. As expected, news had already spread out, by his guess, by nightfall the entire capital city would know about the news of the magistrate’s death. The situation at the huge lavish manor was a bustle of activity, the residence’s guards rushed around in a panicked and disorderly gait as they tried to settle family members of the recently departed, a man in a stewards uniform, most likely the head steward of the Qin Family stood at the top of the steps is giving out instructions to the servants gathered at the steps of the manor.

Jin Huan sighed to himself as he flopped down onto his bed lazily. As he lay there idly, he fiddled with the package from his Second Brother, by the feel of it Jin Huan knew it was a book! His second brother knew his tastes very well. Frequently when any of his elder siblings traveled they would always be able to bring back presents for them all, and for him it was always romance novels! Whenever they travel all around they almost always travel to the city of the region or district they were in, unless it was for military business, they would always stop by the largest bookstore to purchase the latest and popular novels at the time.

He contemplated on his bad luck as he stepped into his carriage, trying to think of the best way to proceed. Doctor Liu Ron Yue had promised to write to his contacts in order to reach out to doctors or coroners who have encountered the strange circumstances in any patients or deceased. Jin Ling heaved a long sigh as the carriage took off heading back towards the palace.

***THE NEXT DAY*** It was finally the last day of his 7 week confinement, tomorrow he would finally be free to do as he pleases again. Though on second thought he might just stay in his residence for the next few days or just simply go out with a guard as was protocol, his father certainly would not be pleased if he were to leave the palace unattended again. It was not like he wanted to cause unnecessary troubles, he just thought that he would be able to leave and return home in time before anyone even notices, after all he does not have the responsibilities that his elder siblings have to shoulder. There was nothing that needed his attention or presence at all. His miscalculation last time was that he had forgotten there was an extra lesson session for his upcoming examination in preparation for his ‘late enrollment’ into the Imperial Academy.
