Just like Lory though the prime minister enraged by what happened at white pavilion tea house, he summons Lao Min Na right away, he cursing Lao Min Na as ungrateful child and force her to kneel on the floor the prime Minister not even asking what really happened that day he command one of his guards to whipped Lao Min Na 50 times. Lory stunned when she heard from Ci ci about Lao Min Na punishment just because she pushes her sister to the pond she got whipped 50 times, is Prime Minister Lao crazy?

Ci ci said is because Lao Min Na damaged her reputation, she humiliated Lao Fei Yan, even though they both step Sister Lao Fei Yan is crown prince consort so her position is above everyone in Lao Manor and no one should dare dishonor her. Ci ci explain it to her with excited face but Lory still no grasp the need to torture your own child for mere reputation, then suddenly Third Prince visit the Lao Manor he surprised when he saw Lao Min Na being punished for something she had not done, he even clarify that he was there from the beginning and he never saw Lao Min Na push anyone, Lao Fei Yan is very upset and so is prime Minister Lao but if he denied the third prince confession it's the same thing said the third prince lied, for official dare to accused royalty we all knew what would happen with them of course, Prime minister can only hold his anger and released Lao Min Na off the hook.

Yang Wei Lan almost fainted on the spot when Lao Min Na got released, she keep pestering Prime Minister that's this not fair her daughter is hurt and no one take responsibility, she keep crying and whining made Prime minister embarrassed in front of the third prince, to calmed her wife he used the same method in every noble household. They blamed the maid that follow Lao Fei Yan that day, he blamed the maid because she unable to protect her Master. She punished hitting by wooden plank 10 times and confined one week at the ware house. Lory can only let out a long sigh when she heard about it, Girsha might be right she needs to find another job.

With the arrival third prince the situation in Nan Jing city is more tensed than ever with three factions gather in capital city who knew how this gonna be end and who end up being the next Emperor, no could have guessed not even the first rank official who used to attend the court, crown Prince and fifth prince have strong backer but third Prince beside backer he also had great achievement and loved by citizen his only shortfall is his humble background, his Mother is only a mere concubines but so what it' still not changed he still the Emperor flesh and blood.

It's obvious for Lory that third prince attracted to Lao Min Na, she knew how prideful the royalty in this world there's no way he just involved himself to mere problem in his household official, Lory feel relief for Lao Min Na and do wish the third Prince is the right man for her but Lory underestimated human intricate minds and the depth of human ambition especially in this world.

Late at night at Nin jing Manor a woman wearing bamboo hat with muslin veil covers her faces, she stops at the front gate Nin jing Manor, the guard immediately stop her "Stop, this is not the place you can just barge in!!" both of the guard aimed their spear to the woman face, the woman remain silent "I'm Lao Min Na asked permission to meet 6th Prince" she said calmly.

The guard look at each other, one of them sign the other one to report people in the inside. The guard nodded then he get inside immediately. Lao Min Na remind calmed she's waiting patiently until a moment later a man with black uniform with placid expression welcome her.

"You Lao Min Na?" he asked shortly without courtesy.

Lao Min Na kind an expectant this behavior, she calmly nodded "I'm…"

The man scrutinize her with an expressionless face "Follow me!" he said again with the same toned. Lao Min Na follows him through the second gate and walks pass the odd but beautiful garden, is odd because she saw the flower she never saw before and as an alchemist, she knows every plant variety including flower, she holds her curiosity she got something more important to do.

She leads to a big gloomy room, the first thing she saw is the big stone carved on the wall behind the big black desk, Zhao Li Xin sit behind the table his face reminds unperturbed and indifferent when he face Lao Min Na even though she always recognized as one of the most beautiful women in the country and after she can cultivate she look healthy with red-tinted blush on her cheeks she looks heavenly beautiful but it's all meaningless in front of stone-cold like Zhao Li Xin.

"What you want?" Zhao Li Xin said without hitting the bush, for most people he never have patience or best temperament.

Lao Min Na knew behind the weak and lazy persona he used to created as 6th Prince there's was Long Ming the real him, cold, cruel, ruthless and most of all very very strong, she always admired and envy him. Talking with him is scary and exhilarating at the same time, Lao Min Na take a deep breath before she talks "I'm here to give you a proposal…."

"What kinda proposal…" he said with an indifferent voice, his head leaning on his fist lazily.

"That is....I can….I can healed your poisoned" she said firmly

Mong Ki whose stands beside Zhao Li Xin twitch but Zhao Li Xin faces unmoved if a year before someone said that to him he might have been moved but after Lory healed him what he needs to be afraid of "Really…." he sneered.

Lao Min Na though Zhao Li Xin only pretending to be calmed, she knew how severe his poisoned is even with all Hei Shen sect treasure he still can't heal himself and after long years he won't have more time but Lao Min Na have a key how to cured him it was something she stumbles upon it an accident if you may call.

"Yes, but the ingredients are very hard to find it would need all your manpower to find it but with the four King's palace I believe soon or later you will find it meanwhile I can prolong your life for 7-10 years maximum" she said with confidence.

Zhao Li Xin sighed, he signs Mong Ki to pour him a cup of wined then he sips the wine slowly without hasted. His calm demeanor confused Lao Min Na she begins wondering is he really not excited or is he still doubt her.

Zhao Li Xin leaned back on his chair lazily "And what do you want for exchanged?"

Lao Min Na's eyes lit up this is shown he approved with her proposal "I want to be your consort" she said firmly.

Zhao Li Xin clenched his face turn dark everyone who knew him must know how angry he is right now, fortunately he can control his raged better after he was cured or maybe after he met Lory

"Why, you know my reputation?"

"For better or worst I'm still noble daughter soon or later my Father would married me with someone and with how our relationships are he won't arranged me a good marriage he may just find wild man and marry me off just to make me suffer" Lao Min Na said with upset looks "And I don't think the Emperor would though seriously about the leftover woman like me and weak Prince to get married, they may treat it as a jokes"

"Sure….I believed that but why me and why you…..?" Zhao Li Xin hissed

"I'm an alchemist and my cultivation talent is not bad, in just a year I already at knight level at advanced stage my future is limitless I could become you support I know more than any of your subordinated could ever be...…..all I need is time" Lao Min Na said with confident.

Zhao Li Xin curious but not tempted he knew exactly what kinda woman she is "Then why me, there still more prince out there….like Zhao Yi Chen?" Zhao Li Xin provoked her. He knew Zhao Yi Chen is visiting Lao Manor recently for someone like Zhao Yi Chen suddenly visit official Manor something must attracting him and he could guess what.

Lao Min Na bites her lips, how could Zhao Li Xin knew about this so fast is he watching Lao Manor or perhaps…..her, Lao Min Na mouth unconsciously curved slightly if Zhao Li Xin attracted to her even just a little he might agree with her plan and this is the best outcome for her and her future "Because I know who you really ere Lord Long Ming"

Her words stunned Mong Ki how could she know about this everything about their Lord identity is cover tightly without possible leaked in fact beside People who work in Zhao Li Xin Manor only few shadow guard under Mong Ki and Mong Yi personally and four king palace who knew about Zhao Li Xin identity and every each of them is someone who has undeniable loyalty to Zhao Li Xin there's no way some of them would talk.

Zhao Li Xin frowned slightly but he became relaxed again "And what do you mean by that?" he asked casually.

"Meaning you are the strongest in this country, NO.... in a few years no one in this world could against you anymore" Lao Min Na corrected "With my knowledge and your power we will be unstoppable, no one can against us!" Lao Min Na said with strong confidence as if she had seen the future herself her eyes brimming with excitement she believed Zhao Li Xin would be approved with her, no man in this world could resist this temptation especially man with so much talent like him. She already dreams about her side to side with him conquering the world together she believed nothing can't hold her down with him by her side.

"I refused..."Zhao Li Xin said shortly
