Physician Wan feel Wan Qingqing’s pulse. She was lying in bed with a blind separating them just her wrist that was sticking out as she is an unmarried girl. Physician Wan feel her wrist and said, “Miss Qingqing fell to a deep illusionary dream sleep. Do you know how she happen to take this drug? This kind of wrong intake drug can be cure.” He started writing a prescription and handed it to the eunuch, “Once she takes this medication, within a day she should be awake.” The eunuch take the prescription and handed it to the Empress Wan Ning.
The Empress Wan Ning took a look at the prescription. She ask in a dissatisfy tone, “How do you know it was the Illusionary Dream that she caught? Many doctors came and yet none of them can tell what’s wrong with her but you came and only one look you can tell what it is. I cannot trust you.” She had a cold glare as she stare at Wan Qinxiu seizing him up. She was doubtful.
Wan Qinxiu reply calmly, “I can stay here until this Miss wake up if you allow me to stay here.” He did not flinch at the question the Empress gave him. He was full of confident.
Mu Yuhan smirks, “Mother, I’ve had Hei Bai prepared a place for Physician Wan and his assistant already. Do not fret I will have him guarded.” The empress turn to look at his son and weave, ‘Finally my son is compassionate for Qingqing! There is hope!’ She nods and comply to his son’s suggestion.
Hei Bai lead them to where the maids are at and decided to give them an old rundown room. Mo Qingfeng was dumbfounded but Wan Qinxiu walks into the room finding no problem with it. He looks at the old room with compassion with a little sadness. He found a bed and said to Mo Qingfeng, “You can take the bed I can take the ground.”
Hei Bai observe Wan Qinxiu’s facial expression and his being silently and carefully on the side adding, “Prince has asked me to guard you two at all times to make sure nothing happens to the both of you.” Wan Qinxiu and Mo Qingfeng pauses in awkwardness. They are being monitor 24/7. He coughs and said, “So I am taking the ground while you two will be taking the bed.”
Mo Qingfeng was shock and he ask, “Isn’t it unreasonable? We can’t possibly share a bed together even though we are men! Are you humiliating us? I am his assistant how can I sleep on the same bed as my master?!” He disagree especially remembering how Wan Qinxiu acted earlier about his comments of beauties. ‘He might be a cut sleeve so… I cannot let Miss Wang think bad of me when she sees me.’
Hei Bai laughs awkwardly, “Sorry but there are no other rooms or any spare bed.”
Wan Qinxiu chuckles he seems to be enjoying the scene. He knew what Mo Qingfeng is afraid of. He sigh, “It’s ok. Ah Mo you can get the bed, Hei Bai you can get the ground so don’t worry about me. I don’t need to sleep.” With that, he walk away to look around the room carefully. Mo QIngfeng was finally relieved.
Hei Bai ask, “What will you do then? Where will you sleep Physician Wan? It is impossible to be up all night and not be tire.” ‘Hmph, what will you do and where will you go if you’re not sleeping at night?’

Wan Qinxiu reply, “I will sleep but it is no problem I can always find another way.” Then he ask, “Is this room a storage room for herbs in the past? I can smell a lot of herbs in this room. Do you have a herb garden? If you do, may you take me there? I am interested in herbs as you see… I am a physician.” He half smile.
Hei Bai sigh and pointed out the back door, “You are right. There used to be someone here who loves herbs so she plant a whole lot of herbs in the back. The garden is huge so take a look all you want I will not disturb you but do not go anywhere else. I’m keep a close watch you ya’ll.” He hmph and turn around and walk out the door to report to his prince.
Mo Qingfeng follow Wan Qinxiu to the back garden and watches him look at the herbs all day, watering the herbs though it’s not his own, even do some gardening as if it was his own. He was just on the side looking. When can I go save Miss Wang? He ask Wan Qinxiu, “Brother Wan ah…. When can I go save Miss Wang? What is the plan? So far you haven’t said anything. This garden is not even yours why are you planting, watering, and gardening them as if this is your garden. We are only here for 3 days at most.” He reminded him of the situation.
Wan Qinxiu reply as he garden, “Be patient… Just a little more. When I am summon to Miss Qingqing’s quarter again then thats when you can go to Prince Mu Yuhan’s tower to save Miss Wang as a hero like you wished.” He proudly explain to him. “The next time I am summon, I am sure Hei Bai and Prince Mu Yuhan will be too busy with me so that will create an opportunity for you to sneak into his tower to save Miss Wang. When you saved her, just leave immediate without me I will follow behind you.” He lower down and smell the fresh uncut herbs.
Mo Qingfeng thought of the plan of him being a hero to save the beauty makes him really happy. He calm down with a happy expression, “Okay I trust you on this Brother Wan… But you must give me a direction map or else I may get lost.” He did not forget that that was his first time in the Dark Realm. Wan Qinxiu nods as answering he did not forget about that.
Mo Qingfeng finds it boring to stay in the field of herbs so he left back to the rundown hut and lie down to rest. Hei Bai saw them from afar but did not hear a thing they spoke of. He watches Wan Qinxiu attentively seeing if there is anything strange or if they are plotting anything. He went to report to Mu Yuhan, “Prince, I’ve settled them down as you’ve instructed. Mo Qingfeng went back to the hut to rest on the bed while Physician Wan was still out in the field all day.”
Mu Yuhan was surprised and ask, “What is Physician Wan doing out in the field? Do you know how much I treasured this garden?!” He grew furious and threw his book on the table and stood up from his seat as soon as he heard this.
Hei Bai quickly reply, “Prince, I deserve death please forgive me!” His head was filled with sweats. He totally forgot that the garden belonged to Wang Xiaolian and his prince treasured it so much that he does not allow anyone to touch it. It was Mu Yuhan who personally actually kept the garden alive. He water, plant, does gardening, does whatever to keep the herbs alive til this day.

As soon as Mu Yuhan heard the news, he hurried out the door to the garden at the back of the hut and find Physician Wan in the middle of the field smelling the herbs and watering the herbs. He stop in his track and found the scene pleasing to his eyes. He’d never seen another being love herbs as much as Wang Xiaolian this is his first time seeing someone loving herbs as much as Wang Xiaolian. He does not know whether he should punish Physician Wan or not. He made his way up to Physician Wan with a cold expression asking, “What are you doing? It is not your job to water these plants. It is rude to allow a guest to work please return back to the hut.” He said in a very expressionless tone and a rushing tone.
He turns around and was about to walk away when Physician Wan reply, “Your highness it is ok I enjoyed herbs very much please do not mind me. I will not harm you herbs you can rest assure.” Then he went back to gardening. Mu Yuhan walk off not saying anything. He saw Hei Bai trail to him finally catching up to him but he raise his hand and said, “It’s fine you go watch the tower I will watch Physician Wan for now.” Hei Bai obey his order and left. ‘I will see what motive you have.’ He disappear into the thing air.
Wang Xiaomi heard of the news about Physician Wan and his assistant entering the Dark Realm. She did not know whom his assistant is but she must try to break out of the tower. She tried to kick the door open but was unsuccessful. She yell so loud but nobody can hear her. The doors and windows were shut. She can only weep as she is a powerless girl. She was held captive ever since she never saw Prince Mu Yuhan again. She just knew they were up to something.
Nightfall came and it is dark, but Wan Qinxiu was still out in the field. Mo Qingfeng was already sound asleep. Hei Bai did not come back that night but Wan Qinxiu probably figured out he was sent away to do other things. Wan Qinxiu finally grew tired and walks back to the hut. He looks at Mo Qingfeng in the bed half naked in his sleepwear sleeping. He was topless when sleeping. He sigh and turn and was about to walk out but that woke Mo Qingfeng up so he suddenly ask, “Where are you going Brother Wan? Are you not sleeping?” He rubs his eyes and move aside and said, “You can sleep next to me I don’t mind.”
Wan Qinxiu shook reply, “I am not tired you sleep first Brother Mo. Have a good rest.” He walks off not another second not even looking at Mo Qingfeng. Mo Qingfeng decided to continue his sleeping since Wan Qinxiu did not want to sleep he move back to his original spot and continue snoring the night away.
Wan Qinxiu went to the nearby tree that was not too tall nor too low. He climb the tree and found a perfect spot for sleeping. He made himself feel comfortable and started falling into a deep slumber. When he fell asleep, in the dark was demon prince Mu Yuhan. He walk to the tree and looks up at Physician Wan whom now is sleeping sound asleep. Mu Yuhan was quite sad as he looks at Wan Qinxiu. ‘This is the tree that you always love to sleep in… can’t believe another bastard would come here to sleep in your place… Wang Xiaolian, where are you?’ Then he suddenly stop and realized what he just asked himself. ‘Isn’t she in my tower?! Why would I ask this? I must be crazy…’ He slowly sigh in the dark.
He started hearing a slipping sound. He look up at the tree and found Wan Qinxiu still asleep but he was going to slip to fall off the tree. Then in that instant moment, Wan Qinxiu really fall off the tree and he quickly catches Wan Qinxiu in the midair and leap back to the tree branch and sets him back on his spot where he was sleeping before he fell off. ‘Brat, haven’t anyone tell you to never climb the tree especially sleeping on one?’ He looks at Physician Wan’s handsome face and suddenly he started hearing a beating sound. He listened carefully and it was the sound of his heartbeats. He blushes in the night not believing what is happening at that moment. His heart beats fast for a man! He quickly turn and was about to leap off, but his robe was caught he turn around and found Wan Qinxiu grabbing onto his robe and hug it tightly to sleep. He was shock and slowly retreat in case they may fall down the branch together.
“It’s your scent my lord… very comfortable…,” Wan Qinxiu whispers and then went back to sleep hugging onto the robe that he grasped tightly to sleep. Mu Yuhan watch silently on the side and he heard what Wan Qinxiu just said. Lord? Who is your Lord? Who is behind you? He have a lot of questions in his head. Then he look at the mask on his face and was tempted to take off the mask to find out whose beneath the mask. He slowly reach over to the mask and just barely touch the mask when a hand grasp onto his wrist asking, “What are you doing?” Wan Qinxiu sat up and push Mu Yuhan away, “Prince, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Clearly not sightseeing are you?”
Mu Yuhan take back his hands and said, “Says the one whom kept grabbing onto my robe when sleeping,” he smirks as his eyes was looking at his robes still in Wan Qinxiu’s hands.
Wan Qinxiu just realized and lets his robe go immediately, “My apologies… I did not realize that.” He looks away in embarrassment but trying not to show his expression, “Now you may leave me to my peace.” Mu Yuhan left the place immediately when he couldn’t control his heartbeats. Wan Qinxiu thought it was weird Mu Yuhan was there and he didn’t realize it right away. ‘Maybe I was too tired…’ He thought.
Mu Yuhan went back to his chamber and saw Hei Bai outside still guarding. He sent Hei Bai away back to guarding Mo Qingfeng and Wan Qinxiu. He thought a lot about Wan Qinxiu after what happened. He wanted to enter his chamber, but in the end he did not enter. He went to sleep in his study room.
