A trace of flustered emotion flashed through Tianhuo's eyes betraying his stoic face, the tips of his ears burned red.

Having seen through him, Feiyun simply chuckled. Tiptoeing just enough so she could reach his face, she interlocked her fingers behind his neck, pulling him down towards her.

Raining small and feather light kisses on his cold lips, slowly sucking and tasting him. Both pair of eyes watching each other.

Feiyun watched as the fiery desire slowly ignite in his eyes, one hand pulling her closer while another roamed to loosen her robes.

As Tianhuo slipped of her robes, revealing her white jade like skin and soft mounds, he slowly began making his way down to her chest.

A warm tongue licked at the tips, playing around and sucking. Tianhuo could feel Feiyun reacting, her back arching each time he moved.

Pressing her against the wall, Tianhuo continued to ravage her body. A hand slipping to her soft regions, wet and sticky from pleasure.

Feiyun let out a small moan as he entered. Pleasure and passion filled her eyes as her trembling spring like voice setting his desire ablaze. Her hands gripped onto his neck and shoulder, fingers digging deeper into his back.

As he continued to thrust deeper into her, Feiyun brought his lips back on hers. His mouth silencing her moans.

Their warm bodies moved in a repeated rhythm faster and faster. Both gripping onto each other, unwilling to let go.

When he finished, Tianhuo took off his inner robe and cleaned her body and himself. It's been awhile since they had such passionate time together.

"Not as rough as last time?"

Feiyun teased as she laid on the bed, tired from the passionate moment. Tianhuo pinched her nose in-between his finger, just as he was about to speak, FeiAn knocked from the other side of the door,

"Master, dinner is served."

Seeing Tianhuo's expression, Feiyun laughed and ordered FeiAn to serve dinner in the main hall.

"Guess FeiAn and Ruyi are now on your list?"

Tianhuo simply sighed, as he stood up, tying his robes properly. Taking his outer robes, he place it on Feiyun's shoulders, giving Feiyun an up down once,

"That's right, why are you dressed in male clothing?"

"You just realised? This whole place is filled with sex-deprived males who haven't seen a women in months. I don't want unneeded attention plus its easier to move in these clothes compared to a dress."

After silently thinking about what Feiyun just said, Tianhuo motioned for Feiyun to sit up. Spinning around with his thick outer coat, so long it dragged behind her like a dress's train.

"Make sure you keep yourself warm the night air is chilly."

Hiding his embarrassment, Tianhuo cleared his throat and quickly left.

"What? That wench left with the prince? To the south?"

"Yes, i'm sure."

Crown prince Ruofeng simply took a sip from his teacup silently watching his mother empress expression, the beautiful jade like face of hers holding a frown.

The beloved Empress glanced towards him, graceful movement as she brought a teacup to her lips.

"You know where you went wrong?"

Ruofeng felt a sudden shiver ran down his spine, under his mother's cold glare.

"Yes..."

"You are lucky that General Xue came to me with the news first. Had he appealed to the Emperor..."

Her cold voice trailed off as she brought the teacup down with a loud bang.

"Mother, please calm yourself. "

Ruofeng spoke as he watched his furious mother.

"It's just marrying -"

A loud crisp sound of skin hitting skin rang out before he could complete his sentence. Ruofeng could only hold his cheek in shock that his beloved mother had hit him.

"Just marry?! Hmph! Presumptuous. If you want the throne, you need a strong family behind you. The Xue's are a declining power. How will they support your throne?"

"I can always take her as my concubine and another as my crown Princess."

The beloved empress let out a haughty laugh,

"Concubine? Your father Emperor has written an edict to have her marry as your crown princess. Not to mention, this is the first time i heard of a Crown Prince taking in a concubine before a crown princess. Do you wish to ruin your reputation?"

Throwing the little jade teacup on to the floor, the Empress glared down at Ruofeng who remained in silence. Unable to believe that he will be marrying Zhenzhen for real, Ruofeng bit onto his lower lip, anger burning through his eyes.

Pouring herself a new cup of tea, the beloved empress continued, finally settling down.

"Now that its come to this, you will marry her. You only have yourself to blame for this mess, get out."

"This son will obey and take his leave first."

Bowing low with his hand cupped in the other, Ruofeng left in a haste anger brewing in his eyes.

Back in his Heavenly Clouds Palace, Ruofeng slammed the table as he ordered

"Bring him to me."

"My prince... I don't think that physician Mo is the one who wronged here. The girl must have vomited the concoction, otherwise there is no way that only she would get pregnant. "

The crafty Eunuch following beside Ruofeng quickly added.

"I said... Bring. Him. To. Me."

Bowing quickly, the crafty eunuch scurried out, ordering guards to drag Physician Mo back of Ruofeng's palace.

Having waited nearly an hour, Ruofeng remained seated in a leisure chair with a young maid seated on his lap.

The desperate woman clung to him unaware of what she was in for. He started to strip her clothes, kissing and sucking as she let out moans with no regard to her enjoyment. He handled her rough pulling and choking her hard as his rage brew, annoyed that his pride has been stepped on by so many people.

"My prince, he is here."

"Bring him in."

The guards threw Physician Mo onto the floor who instantly kowtowed in fear.

Watching the shivering old man, Ruofeng felt slightly better. The half naked women sitting on his lap quickly pulled her robes shut from embarrassment as she remained clinging onto his chest.

"You know why you are here?"

Physician Mo pleaded for mercy, he knew from the eunuch that his herbs had failed the prince. His only hope now is to prove usefulness to the Ruofeng.

"P-p-please tell me how i can serve your highness."

"USELESS!"

His voice thundered in the silent room, giving a jolt to both Physician Mo and the women sitting on his lap. Feeling her fear, Ruofeng licked his lips as he observed her.

"Ohh? Scared?"

The woman froze up when she saw the sadistic look on his face, forcing out a smile and stopping her hands from shaking. Ruofeng's chuckled, his eyes shone with a lack of empathy as he traced a finger on her cheek.

Slapping her off his lap and onto the ground, he grabbed her hair,pulling her to her knees and forcing himself down her throat in satisfaction.

Her muffled screams and choking feeding to his sadism, an adrenaline rush and overall feeling of excitement as he rocked her head back and forth.

"BEAT!"

Ruofeng commanded his guards to strike. Sending Physician Mo into worry, pleading for mercy as the Guards did not hesitate to strike.

The two guards themselves took pleasure in inflicting pain on the old man. Each strike cutting deeper and slowly stealing the life of physician Mo.

As he remained in the chair watching the life and blood of Physician Mo drain away, splattered by his blood that sprayed all over with the whip. He kicked at the lifeless body of the women who lay at his feet.

Taking in a deep breath, enjoying the scent of the blood as Physician Mo squirmed and drew his last breath.

"that's all you're worth."

Cracking his neck as he wiped off the sweat and blood dripping down his face, Ruofeng left after tying his robes.

"I'll leave the rest to you."

The pale Eunuch bowed deep, holding back his vomit. No matter how many times, having witness the bloody torturing scene, he still felt the blood drain from his body.
