Few days pa.s.sed and as Xing found a good physician from the demon realm with the help of Bai Li for detoxification of her father. She knew it is gong to be a tough procedure since he"s been exposed to those poisons for a long time and they had only less time to get it out of his system.When Xing asked Bai Li"s help, she didn"t expect he"d being the miracle doctor from their realm to cure her father. Demons rarely come to the human realm for helping them. Xing thought she has to pay a lot for that physician but he just bowed in front of her saying it is his honour to serve the Prince of Heavens, a fact that she almost forgot. She chided Bai Li for spreading that along but he said that the demons can sense these things by themselves.
Well! Whatever! If the best doctor wants to help me for free, why not! Xing shrugged it off.
Chenglei felt like taking the Prime Minister out of his Manor will be risky since he is sick and so they decided to take her father to her courtyard which is now without inhabitants. Apparently Takano wanted that courtyard but her father vehemently opposed in letting anyone other than his favourite daughter to stay there.
So with Bai Li"s cloaking spell around her courtyard, the courtyard looked empty even though there were some people living in there. The entire capital city was under tight scrutiny because someone kidnapped the Prime Minister while the prime minister was going through excruciating pain in his Manor as the toxins left his system.
Xing with tears in her eyes unable to bear her father"s sufferings, stayed with him and held his hands through it all. While she was taking care of her father, it was Chenglei who took care of her.
The physician said that night was pretty important in her father"s recovery as the last sediments of the toxins acc.u.mulated in his body will be flushed out by the medicinal bath and she spent the entire night sleepless by her father"s side even though the physician asked her to rest. Chenglei forced her to eat something and she refused to rest until her father recovered.
"Look at this la.s.s! What difference would it make if you stay awake or not?", Bai Li materialised startling Chenglei and he touched her forehead putting a spell on her and she fell asleep immediately. He picked her from the side of her father"s bed to get her rest comfortably in her bed when Chenglei blocked him and insisted that he carries her.
Bai Li could see jealousy written clearly on Chenglei"s face and decided to tease him a bit.
"Who are you to her?", he asked Chenglei and laughed in his heart when he saw his face changing colours.
"I"m her husband! So... Who are you? ", Chenglei answered after controlling his emotions and returned his question. In the past days he saw a bunch of demons being polite with her and the one who is talking with him now is handsome enough that even he cannot find a fault with him and he seemed pretty close with her too.
Just who is this woman? And what is her connection with the demon realm?
But he decided to fight for this woman and so he will. In his heart she is his woman and he is not willing to give her up for anyone.
Bai Li saw Chenglei answering with determination and took a deep breath. Even after he forgot everything about her, he still didn"t forget this fact. But Zhu Rong won"t be pleased that this guy is falling for that la.s.s once again despite her efforts and she definitely will interfere and try to make them fail.
They"ve only pa.s.sed two of their trials and there is still one more and who knows what it might be? But if he makes a guess, it should be Chenglei"s life put in danger. Their first trial was her escape from the Netherworld and the second trial was them getting separated with him forgetting her and both are still in love with each other and so the trial is almost won even if he doesn"t remember her. And the third trial must be involving him... In that case how will she react?
Still... Chenglei with his determined face looked like a pouty child in his eyes.
"Me? I"m the King of the Demons", Bai Li proclaimed proudly.
"Oh!", Chenglei pretended that he didn"t care even though he was impressed, "But she loves me! ", Chenglei replied with his chest out. He was pretty sure he can make her fall for him.
"Pfft", Bai Li could not hold back his laughter anymore... What an interesting mortal! The entire three realms know she only loves you!
"Then take good care of her", Bai Li gave her to Chenglei and Chenglei nodded and brought her to her bed. He loosened her robes so that she"d sleep comfortably and that"s when he noted it... The Scar... Just over her heart...
And he felt an irritation in his heart seeing it. He gently traced his hand over the Scar and it looked like she deliberately let the wound scar. What made a girl not try to heal the scar and leave it as such?

That wound must have been made by the one in her heart... Shouldn"t that be the reason?
Chenglei"s eyes darkened....
Next morning, the physician said that her father has crossed the critical stage of the effects of poisons and only then Xing felt relieved. Her father had a clear mind that day and Xing could see the glimmer he used to have back in his eyes. The doctor said he needs to rest only for a couple more days and then the delusions would never return and that his body has already developed a resistance to those toxins and even if he consumes those poisons in the future, it won"t affect him.
Xing was so thankful!
Her father slept a lot and so she decided to meet with Ryuga as he asked for a meeting previously.
They met in a private room in Seiren"s restaurant and Xing could see he was happy that he get to meet her. After engaging in small talks, she asked him about Yukiko and her health. She knew they still didn"t have an heir to the throne and Xing could guess the problems that would cause her. Ryuga treated Yukiko as a big sister and Xing could tell how worried he was for her. It also looked like with Takano leaving her side, the Dowager only got more annoyed and is hurting Yukiko with words.
Xing felt really bad for her but her love for her husband is what"s keeping her in the palace and she didn"t know the solution. Her problem is not her inability to get pregnant but carrying the child to term since it is being hurt by others. Xing really felt helpless towards this friend of hers.
