RECAP

  Out of the shadows of the night a figure came forth, it wasn't Lu Han this time but Bai Kang, the chief eunuch of the imperial palace. "Zhuren how long do you plan on staying here, the court is in disarray and Fang Mu ordered me to tell you that if you are not back before a breath in time, he will go out find and come get you himself and you really don't want that Zhuren" Bai Kang's tone was that of a pouting teenager, a complete contrast to the tone and voice he uses in the imperial palace.

The emperor gave one last look to Jiang room and then disappeared, the black robes he was wearing made him blend into the darkness of the night perfectly. Bai Kang called out to him, "Master wait up..." he wasn't pleased with been left behind and was soon beside the emperor.

If the emperor didn't want to be found he won't be but Bai Kang was the only exception because the emperor and Bai Kang shared as bond. It was due to his special existence and the special connection shared with the emperor. It was this bond that lead to Bai Kang's ability to locate the emperor so swiftly and accurately despite the emperor's ability to perfectly conceal himself and even when the emperor didn't want to be found.

"Master, who was that inside that room?" Bai Kang's curiosity was peaked the moment he had arrived at this manor because he knew his master didn't allow strangers close to him. So he had wondered who was inside that room and if that person was the reason that made the emperor neglect his duties for so long.

"Stop been so nosy. Mind your business!" The emperor said as he increased his speed then suddenly threw a kick forward as Bai Kang suddenly appeared in front of him, Bai Kang swiftly dodged the kick..

The emperor in this instance felt great resentment for the ancient royals and his predecessors. Due to tradition, he was made to go through a test and Bai Kang was the 'best reward' they could come up with to compensate all the troubles he persevered. "What's so special about him anyway (Bai Kang 'his reward'), so troublesome!" he grumbled to himself.

The emperor might have thought negatively about Bai Kang at some point but that wasn't his honest opinion. He knew Bai Kang's worth pretty well and he couldn't have asked for a better reward from the ancients, the ancients where what the royals use to call their ancestors or ancient royals who had left the guide on becoming the true emperor as well as true empress. There had been many emperors and empresses in Tang Qin Shang but in all of its history, they have never been a true emperor until Qin Jie Huang, an emperor worthy to know all the secrets the great Tang Qin Shang had hidden beneath the surface, hidden from its people.

"Why are you being so secretive, don't be so stingy with such a juicy gossip, as bonded partners we shouldn't keep anything from each other." Bai Kang kept moving from the emperor's right side to his left side while flashing him his killer puppy dog eyes that usually got people to do whatever he wanted but he forgot he wasn't in the right environment to use that move.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to act so childish with that middle-aged man's appearance? It's not cute at all, as a matter of fact it's somewhat disgusting" the said emperor.

Bai Kang just scoffed at that, no amount of mocking will make him change back. Just remembering the amount of hands that pulled at his chubby cheeks and called him a cute child due to his appearance, when he had lived a century more than them made him guffaw. In his race, he was indeed a child but who gave these humans the right to treat him as such, he huffed and puffed just thinking about it. The emperor had a smirk on his face as he thought of how easy it was to distract Kang from questioning him but he will realize how so wrong he was pretty soon.
