Rong Yi begins, "In the Imperial Ceremony, it was subtle but I notice that my father, the Emperor, has begun showing strange and mild symptoms lately: abdominal pain and vomiting. It took quite the compensation but his personal servant informed me that the Emperor has watery diarrhea as well."
Yuan Zi Yan taps her chin and remarks, "Good that you kept in mind of the symptoms. What I am wondering is if the Emperor's symptoms are related to the symptoms caused by the poisonous mushrooms, should there be a small dosage."
It's me, Yuan Zi Yan again.Early afternoon right now.Today is suppose to be the day of Xu Kai's birthday. I have been preparing a gift for him this entire day.
Second Meeting: Next DayScholar Li starts off the conversation, "After further experiments and research, there is no doubt that the mushroom poison is similar to that of the poisonous needles. Amatoxin-containing mushrooms. I have compared both the needle and the mushroom's symptoms based on a small dosage on myself."
We split up in three groups: Rong Yi with Scholar Li, Xu Kai with Wan'er, and General Li with me.We spoke for some time about our plan for the time being and what exactly it is we are looking for.As General Li and I observe the eastern plains, I can't help but question what Xu Kai and Wan'er i
After what seems like an eternity of walking, we take one more step and suddenly, torches on the walls light up. Now, we can see everything. There is a clear pathway ahead that seems a bit off.General Li suddenly halts and blocks me from proceeding ahead. She picks up a rock from the ground and throws it across the pathway in front of us.
I spend the rest of the night trying to crack the code. Sitting on a mahogany chair near the wooden window, I continue to write the possible passcodes.I remember twisting the shift knob; I was only able to twist four numbers before the knob rewinds itself.Four numbers..
"Sir!" I knock on his door, "Urgent news!"The door opens inwards. The first thing my eyes lay on: chiseled six packs and v-shaped torso.I cover up my eyes. "Sir! You could've said you were in the process of changing into your uniform."
"What kind of sorcery is this?" Rong Yi shakes the pocket watch in disbelief."H-Hey! That belongs to my long lost brother.. He lived a good life until a witch trapped his soul within that magical stone," He sniffs.We all exchange glances. That sounds sketchy and fake.
"Mother and father, I did not see you guys complain when boxes of silver undermy nameenter the Manor for theYuan Family. Is something the matter now? Have you guys regret accepting 70% of the money?"Uncomfortable to my comment, Master Yuan clears his throat: "That is a different story."
The door gradually opens up. A strange feeling envelopes Yan Zi, as she raises her head to face the Director.A distance away from Yan Zi stands a figure she thought she'd never see again.Her brows furrow, her eyes widen. She becomes aware of her own heartbeat.
The sun has risen 365 times since she last saw his face. The whistling winds dance with the grass and florals, unbinding the dandelions that adrift throughout the sky.The dawn is calling, as the soft grass laps at her feet and tickles her finger.She chooses
It is pitch black.The absence of light deprives her of her senses. She stumbles into the essence of darkness.Then suddenly, as if a flick of a switch, a glimpse of light shines down on Yuan Zi Yan.
Three figures grieve be forth an empty grave.As General Li and Scholar Li rise up from the ground, they notice that Sir Xu does not move an inch. His eyes rest on the gravestone, heavy in thought.When General Li attempts to tap Sir Xu's shoulders, Schol
Riding his armored horse, Sir Xu rushes past the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees. "Please be okay.. Zi Yan."He thinks back to what happened in the morning today...It is early morning when General Li, Sir Xu, and Scholar Li gather in the Guest Room. General Li huffs through her tear
The pale crescent moon shines down like a silvery claw in the night.Yuan Zi Yan and Xu Kai is now strolling along a river near the up-roaring city. They take a seat on a smooth stone, resting beside each other.The two watch the blanket of stars that stretch to infinity. Stars of all sorts of c
Tiny specks of dust seem to dance in the shaft of afternoon sunlight that slant through the broken windows.Yuan Zi Yan wakes up to Xu Kai by her side. Their hands are intertwined together, with their bodies lying facing each other.Gazing at the sleeping Xu Kai, she lifts up her hands to trace
Yuan Zi Yan listens as the rain continues to pour down. Now, there is barely any sunlight.It's okay, Zi Yan. Someone will find you. You left a letter, remember?She tries to wait it out, but soon falls asleep.
Yuan Zi Yan hears humming, a faint tune. The voice sings:"Enjoy every little thing that life throws your way.""..The sunsets, the laughter, the moon, the gatherings, the takeaways. For you will wake up one day and realize that you are living someone's dream. Enjoy everything, as such a beautif
