"Ok ! calm down. I will not visit him." Zixuan stops seeing Yuzu's desperate dilemma. He already ordered Xingchen to take care of Zemin. Xingchen will handle everything there.

Yuzu looks at Zixuan with teary eyes "he murdered you .. yet you want to forgive him ?"

"He didn't. I swear. Trust me.." Zixuan whispers approaching Yuzu slowly.

"Then how ..."

"I .. I committed suiside after your death. I gave up." Zixuan whispers.

Yuzu breaks down in Zixuan's arms "you lying?"

"No .. I am not. I swear. I gave up on my life after your death." Zixuan sighs "now.. stop crying. I am fine , you are fine. We are together."

Yuzu hugs Zixuan tightly. 

Zixuan chuckles.

Tao runs into Zemin's room only to find Zemin sleeping on the bed with bandage covering his waist. Tao looks at Minister Xingchen who was standing beside the bed. "What happened ?"

"Yang Xi stabbed in the back. Nothing serious. He is out of danger." Xingchen replies with a flat expression. 

Tao sits tiredly beside Zemin. Tears roll down from his eyes. "Why did you do this ?"

Zemin stirs on the bed. "Fa..father .."

Tao wipes his tears hurriedly and cups Zemin's face "yes .. my boy .. I am here .."  

Tears rolls down from Zemin's eyes "Don't ... di ..die for me .."

Tao frowns. "Why would I die.. I am here .. You take rest... Sleep . . I will be here."

Zemin looks at his side with great discomfort. His gaze falls on the figure standing beside him. He closes his eyes with a sense of Deja Vu.

He feels like all of this happened before !

"So he is out of danger now ?" Zixuan asks the healer in low voice as Yuzu is sleeping on his bed with Zhan.

"Yes , minister Xingchen informed me in time." The healer informed.

Zixuan nods before looking at his defence head.

Defence head bows "Prince Yang xi was caught but he stabbed himself before we put him in prison." 

"Is he dead ?"

The minister nods.

Zixuan closes his eyes. That counts three deaths of the past. Zixuan opens his eyes. Announce one decree all over Zi.

"Master, minister Bai said he would visit you and crown prince today." Meimei runs into Yuzu's room while doing a happy dance.

Yuzu beams with his bright smile "oh ! Father is back from the border ?"

Meimei climbs on the bed to play with Zhan. "Yes !"
