"Kenzhi, are all the citizens safe?" asked Wang Haocun.
"Yes, I have confirmed with Xie Rushi and Luo Bojing that everyone is safety at homebase," said Kenzhi. "It also seems the Master Mo and the other pharmacists incuding Mo Tianhua has come and helped out with protecting and healing the citizens."
"There's enough room for everyone for now?"
"Surprisingly… Yes. All the houses Sister Yu Yan bought has enough rooms for everyone to rest at the moment…" said Kenzhi.
"It's scary…" commented Li Dan E.
"What is?" asked Xie Rong.
"How far ahead did Lin Yu Yan plan? It's like… she knew something like this was happening the moment we met her?" said Li Dan E.
"It's true. It does seem like that. But we all know…" said Chu Yang. "She's the nicest person you have met."
Everyone agreed on that. All of them trust her, it's just that, know one actually knows her. Not even her family.
"Hey, don't lose track. We have… to take the emperor down," said Wang Haocun.
Everyone looked at each other in concern. Wang Haocun didn't pause for no reason, it's because at the end of this situation, it may lead to him killing his father. Lin Yu Yan has asked him about it already and Wang Haocun has said he is ready and okay with it but in the end… the Wang Emperor is still Wang Haocun's father.

"Crap! We're locked in!" said Wang Ping.
"What is the emperor thinking? How can he do that to the citizens of Wang!?" said Zhang Lijuan (queen of Wang).
"Sh!t… what are we going to do!? cough* cough*" said Wang Ping.
"My son! Calm down! You are still sick!" said the queen.
He has been stuck in the palace, not allowed to leave because he has gotten sick. Actually more like poison. The emperor has found out he has been spying of his conversation with the slave traders and punished him with a slow killing poison.
"Tsk. Lin Yu Yan was right, Father emperor really is selling all the citizens of Wang! How could I have let this happened!?" said Wang Ping.
"Ping! You need to rest!" said the queen, trying to get him back to bed.
"Mother Empress, I need to go help the citizens of Wang!"
"But your father will kill you! Don't go! I'm not losing my last son! If you stay here, the emperor will give me the antidote to save you!" said Zhang Lijuan.
Then the door bust opened and the guards of Wang took the prince and the queen out of their room. They watch as the other concubines and their children were taken from their rooms and all were lead to the grand hall of the palace.
All the other concubines and children were forced to kneel down all in a row 5 feet in front of the Emperor and Li Muqiu. The Queen and Wang Ping pinned and forced to kneel right in front of the Wang Emperor and Li Muqiu.
Li Muqiu was smiling, happy that it was finally time she would be queen. She looked over at her son, Wang Haobin, who was seated on the left table, and watched the Queen and Wang Ping kneeling to the emperor and his mother.
Wang Haobin smiled at his mother but the moment she looked away, he looked in worry. He never knew his father would actually do this to his kingdom. He looked over at his younger brother and sisters, not knowing what to do.
He may be a jerk but towards his younger brothers and sisters, he loved them a lot because they were the only ones who actually truly loves him. When he heard news his mother has poisoned the other concubines when they were pregnant with the emperor's child, he was angry.
Because he heard the news after they were born, he has secretly has sent out some guards of his own to find a doctor for any solutions was happy he heard a great doctor has healed them.
Wang Ping has been a great older brother to him but he's not going to lie... he was happy to be officially called the crown prince when he heard his brother became useless.
Because of their mothers fighting for the position to be the empress, he was told to stay away from Wang Ping. He still secretly buys presents for his younger siblings without his mother knowing but because he is now crown prince, everyone started watching him closer and closer.
He did want to make his mother finally see him as a great son but his younger siblings is what kept him sane. Hearing and seeing the cries of his younger siblings and seeing the anger look of his older brother made him question his decision of agreeing to help his father with the slave traders.
