The Fallen Consort

"I was able to tell your predicament, of course Im able to cure you. But on one condition."

"Then.. what's your condition?"

"I came here to Xiang Kingdom to build an organization. I will cure you and help you ascend the throne. In turn, I want you to follow me." Yi Ling was ambitious. Even though she was only at the 1st Rank of Dawning stage, No one will be able to tell her real powers when she has the mask on. Not even a Sainthood Cultivator.

To help the Crown Prince ascend the throne, she can always make the Viridis move. She noticed that the Viridis follows the command of Linyu when they've arrived in Xiang Kingdom. It was going to be easy from then on. Mid-Rank Kingdoms strongest people are the Nascent Stages. The highest one in mid-rank Kingdom is the Azure Kingdom, rumors says that the strongest in that kingdom was in the Emergent stage.

Having the Viridis on Sainthood was one of her trump cards. She smirked at the thought.

The Crown Prince and Elder Zhen was shocked, they forgot how to react.

"Your highness?..." Elder Zhen thinks that it was a good deal but at the same time, The Crown Prince would have to obey Doctor Yi's whims.

The Crown Prince was silent, he clenched his fist. He had endured 4 Years of being crippled and weak. But even then, he got Elder Zhen investigated what happened to him.

It took him 3 years to find the clues. They even found some links to what happened to his mother and why the concubines are not producing sons. It all pointed to his uncle. His uncle was the little brother of the current emperor. If I die and the Emperor doesn't have any other son, His uncle would be the next emperor. It was a flawless plan, fortunately; he was able to dig some clues.

The Crown Prince looked at the Doctor Yi. He looked so young yet he can feel how confident the man behind the mask is. It's pretty much his only choice, Not even Elder Bai is sure on curing him. A year ago, Elder Bai had seen him but even then he said he would study about it first.

"I, Xiang he; Crown Prince of the Xiang Kingdom. Will follow Doctor Yi Jin for all my life." He sat up straight and endured all the pain. He cupped his fist and bowed towards Doctor Yi.

Yi Ling's mouth curled up. It's a good starting point, she thought.
