She reasoned that since the king had already called Auntie Lan to take care of the little prince in the hospital, he might also bring her back to the palace later.
If Auntie Lan got reappointed, would she be replaced again?
No way!
Absolutely no way!
She would never let it happen!
Therefore, she had to do something before Auntie Lan came back. Most ideally, she should plan out an affair with the king.
That being decided, Yao Zheng managed to get the kind of drug she needed. She was planning to put it into the king’s meal. When he was drugged, she would sneak in and make use of her chance.
Yao Zheng was not completely stupid. She could not drug the king herself. Otherwise she would be sentenced if it was uncovered.
She had to find someone else to do it.
In order to carry out her plan, Yao Zheng prepared well and found a scapegoat, so that it would never be blamed on her.
One day she found out about the king’s agenda and saw that he had nothing important for the night. So when the chefs prepared his dinner, she had the person add the drug into his dishes.
When the dinner was served, Huo Yunshen came to the dining room and Yao Zheng stood by with her team.
The king sat down and picked up the knife and fork. Yao Zhang tried not to be too excited and wished that he could finish his dinner sooner.
Come on!
Make it quick!
After dinner tonight, you won’t be able to resist me no matter how much you loved your former wife!
Huo Yunshen was about to take a bite of the steak. Right then his phone went off.
He stopped and glanced at the screen. Seeing it was Auntie Lan’s call, he put down the food and picked it up.
They could not hear the conversation. But when the call was finished the king stood up and rushed to leave.
“I’m coming right now.”
Upon saying so, Huo Yunshen left the table.
Yao Zheng had thought her plan was about to succeed. But seeing it ruined by a phone call, she got extremely anxious.
She stopped Huo Yunshen and asked, “Are you leaving right now, Your Majesty?”
“Yes, to the hospital,” he replied.
“Without finishing your dinner?”
“There’s no time.”
Huo Yunshen asked Yin Feng to get the car ready and headed to the hospital.
With her man gone, Yao Zheng was outraged. She’d almost done it. How disappointing it was!
What happened in the hospital? Could it be Auntie Lan making excuses again? Damn it! How could she always be in her way?
Huo Yunshen could not finish the dinner because Little Grape’s doctor wanted to see him and discuss the surgery.
He rushed to the hospital and had a meeting with the doctors and specialists.
They scheduled Little Grape’s surgery for the following Monday. There were only a few days away.
When everything was settled, he went to see the boy.
Coming toward the room, he could hear the boy’s laughter from outside.
Huo Yunshen was touched. He felt his heart melting upon hearing his son’s hearty laughter.
What made him so happy?
