RECAP

Jiang smiled so brightly as he studied this two siblings every reaction, It was then he felt eyes on him but was too scared to turn because he knew too well who was at the direction the stare was coming from after all just a moment ago Jiang was staring at the boy or should he say man who had his fiery red eyes closed as if he was slumbering.

😁😀😀

As the emperor stared intently at Jiang, Jiang shivered slightly, he couldn't help but wonder why the emperor was staring at him, he had stopped laughing the moment he felt those eyes on him, Jiang wondered if perhaps the emperor was mad at him for laughing at a situation he didn't find funny at all.

"This will be the six contestants competing for the empress elect position" The chief eunuch announced and the eyes that were on Jiang moved towards the direction the announcement came from,Jiang didn't realize until he released his breathe that he was even holding it in the first place, he felt relieved that the emperor had stopped staring at him but at the same time he felt oddly disappointed, he couldn't help but feel disgruntled and this attitude of his made him feel uneasy.

"The empress elect should please take note of the following " The chief eunuch said as he bowed slightly towards Jiang,Jiang wasn't the empress yet so the chief eunuch didn't see the need to give a deep bow, he didn't have to be so courteous.

Jiang looked at the chief eunuch seriously because he knew what was about to be said was something of great importance, something pertaining to the competition.

"Due to the empress elect current power and in other to make the competition fair the empress elect will start to compete with the contestant with the lowest to the highest realm, Which means the order of the contestants the empress elect will have to battle with is as follows, Wang Xiu" The chief eunuch called out and Wang Xiu stepped out of the straight line all contestants were made to form and waved at the audience with a sluggish smile splattered on her face, the commoners kept hailing her name while not caring about their voice until she stepped back in line.

The chief eunuch continued calling out the rest, Wang Wei had an arrogant look while Liu Yang had a gentle smile, this two were in the same realm but had different ranks, As for Zhang Min and Zhang Feiyan they both looked indifferent while Liang Na looked cold, arrogant and smug, she was the empress elect final opponent if the empress elect survived all her other five opponents

"The competition will start in two months time with the empress elect battling her first contestant, after the battle if she survives and win she will be given two weeks to rest before her next battle, Also a specific date won't be fixed for this battles, which means the empress elect have to always be alert" The chief eunuch said seriously and Jiang sighed deeply, the struggle for him to live had really began.

"Dismissed" one word was said by a deep voice that gave people the chills yet sent them into a fantasy world, that voice belonged to none other but the emperor, Jiang wanted to turn towards the man and take a final look at his indifferent manly face that gave off a fiery yet heroic aura but didn't have the guts to do so.

As the crowd began to dispense from the palace martial ground Jiang turned to the eunuch that had been assigned to him "I will like to go to the Palace Pavilion, Can you take me there?" Jiang asked.

"Empress elect your servant will like to take you there but we will have to leave the Imperial Palace and go over to the main palace and to do that we need a pass" The eunuch said with his head bent low like it always is, he doesn't dare look in the eyes of this empress elect that might one day become empress even if now the chances are slim he still won't slight her.

Jiang's brows creased in confusion "Why will we need a pass? And what's the difference between the main palace and the imperial palace?, Don't they mean the same thing?" now it was the eunuch's brows that were creased due to the too many questions bombarded on him at once.

"Empress elect from what your servant knows both are different, the palace is divided into two parts, the main palace is were all the past royalties resides it's like a city on its own, most of the royalties are past princes, concubines or even emperors as well as their descendants, You should know as one cultivates their lifespan increases and as a result the main palace is filled with royalties while the Imperial Palace is were the current emperor, his Empress and concubines resides if the emperor chooses to have concubines" He said

"So do the main palace royals use the imperial palace gate to get outside the palace or are they also not allowed to leave the palace?, Do they marry their selves or marry from outside the palace? "Jiang was so curious that he eyes shinned brightly, he kept throwing question after question none stop at the eunuch without pause, the poor eunuch was beginning to get a migraine.

The eunuch had to go on his knees and bang his head hard on the ground which was very effective in shutting Jiang up "Your servant deserves a thousand death since your servant doesn't know the answers to all your questions but your servant do know that the royals have a separate gate leading to the capital and they don't marry themselves" the eunuch said as he kept banging his head on the ground for not having answers to Jiang's numerous questions.

When Jiang got over the shock he rushed over to the eunuch to pull him up "You shouldn't hurt yourself so easily, I should have known you wouldn't know, it's my fault" Jiang said as he looked worriedly at the eunuch while using his hand to pat dirt off his robe.

"Empress elect" the eunuch said in an almost scream as he saw what Jiang was doing, he backed away with eyes that looked like they were about to pop out "Your servant deserves death for letting the empress elect soil her hands with dirt from this servant robes" he hurriedly said and was about to go on his knees and repeat his actions from earlier when Jiang quickly lifted him up with his left hand on the little eunuch's left hand and his right hand around the eunuch's waist to support him.

Jiang couldn't help but roll his eyes "Enough with all this deserves death, deserves death nonsense,isn't it tiring? " Jiang asked but the little eunuch seemed frozen, it was then Jiang realised the eunuch before him was not more than thirteen years old, Jiang always wished he had a little brother or sister so seeing this little eunuch made him what to take care of him like a sibling would do especially since the eunuch looked sick

"Do you have a fever?" Jiang asked as he moved his face closer to the eunuch's face and raised his left hand to the eunuch's forehead in other to check his temperature but the moment their skin touched the eunuch's whole face became as red as a tomatoes "You are really burning up, I need to get you a physician" Jiang said worriedly.

While Jiang was being worried the little eunuch was mentally talking to himself "I will definitely die of heart attack before the physician comes if you don't take your hands off me, How can a noble lady be this shameless?, Doesn't she know she belongs to the emperor even if she is still just an empress elect, Doesn't she know the damn palace rules" He cursed Jiang a million times over in his head but not once did he voice those opinions out because as much as he did like to deny it, He really loved the fact that the empress elect, such a noble lady was worried for a low born like him, genuinely worried and to top it off, her voice was really nice to hear, he couldn't stop her even if he wanted to, he was lost to her charm.

Meanwhile as the emperor watched this scenario play before his eyes it didn't make him feel good one bit, his hands knotted into a fist, his blood began to boil, Every hair on his body began to rise and even though he was going to make sure this girl dies as a punishment to her father who loved her so much he still didn't like her holding others, he didn't like her speaking to others, her voice and every sound she made should only be heard by him, he could seize her voice, he had that ability but even he thought it was crazy, he was crazy.

His legs had took him back here even after he left and this scene wasn't something he hoped to see.

A baleful aura began to fill the Imperial palace martial ground that was now occupied by only two people, Jiang and the little eunuch, Once Jiang sensed something and turned his attention from the eunuch to look around, that person was long gone.
