The Tyrant, Mischievous Mrs. Lin and her Triplets.

"Sleep a little first then we can talk or do you want some breakfast?" He worriedly inquired, he could feel his son had lost lots of weight.

He shook his head, he didn't have any appetite whatsoever.

He silently accompanied him as he reassured that he will be with him and didn't need to worry.

Luo Wei who was happily skipping around felt a little heartache but it faded away.

"We have hunted alot this time." She smiled looking at the three wild chickens in their hands.

" Yes, we will cook this two and preserve the other one." An Tang spoke out as he held one chicken while the other hand was holding strawberries, they had just found a lot of wild strawberries.

"Mnnhh.. this wild strawberries taste just like the farmed ones, I don't feel any difference." He lightly remarked as they walked back.

" Oohhh, there are more other different strawberries than this?" She curiously inquired as she ate the berries that were big and bloody red, very juicy.

"Yes, the ones people plant are different from this wild ones, you see this wild ones have tall meandering thin trees with thorns while the other ones don't have any trees or thorns, they are just bushy and short like vegetables without thorns." He explained out.

" Oohhh.. are they sweet?" She curiously inquired while going forward back to their house.

"I don't feel any difference as they have the same taste according to me." An Tang responded while eying his brother.

" Yeah I think they are the same." Aiguo seconded as he also carried the two chickens while Luo Wei carried the arrows and bow with a cloth carrying many strawberries they harvested.

"Ooohhhh.. I hope I will taste them one day." she kept quiet as they went home.

Inside the Iced Cursed Fox Mountain, Lin Wei was struggling to put up with the cold.

"We are almost there." She raised her head as looked at the tip top of the mountain.

"Yes, but I haven't felt any temperature changes." Bai Yun frowned as he also looked at the top of the mountain, they were near, just a little bit longer.

"I also don't feel any changes, it's like the more we climb up the more it becomes colder." Jade rubbed her hands together worriedly.

" I have to find the herbs." She was determined no matter what, they had to find the most crucial and key element.

"What if we can think of another solution before we can locate the herbs." Bai Yun voiced out his thoughts.

" We are already here." Her steps hastened as she climbed the iced mountain using the sticks and ice trees that had grown to the top of the mountain even though they were scarce.

Her skin had turned pale from cold but she was determined and this small challenge didn't put her ambitions off.

They tagged behind her silently, nothing they said will change her mind.

In the Qing Kingdom, King Wang was pacing back and forth anxiously waiting to hear news from the Desert.

He was sure that they could capture them, he had expanded his manpower in capturing them.

"They haven't returned back? What's taking them so long?" He inquired with worries.

"No your Majesty.." the Eunuch responded also feeling anxious, they needed to have a trump card as plan B.

The entire Mental Cultivation Hall was enveloped in an erilly cold atmosphere.

While in the Ming Kingdom, the King was working in his Mental Hall while the Queen took care of the harem affairs after drinking her medicine.

Even though she wasn't feeling well, she still had to represent herself as the mother of the lands.

While sitting on the Empress seat and the concubines sat down a lower level than her as they faced her.

"A war is breaking out soon, I need all of you to be prepared and check out our food stocks and granaries to see if we have enough food for our soldiers." Holding the beads she spoke out as her voice was soft and neither commanding nor cold.

"I also hope that we could understand the King if he doesn't attend to your bed chambers, he is occupied by the Kingdom affairs." She looked at them as her eyes were calm and collected.

" Empress.. you have a daughter who can be able to help us transit through the crisis safely, why can't you summon her." Concubine Shu decided to prick the Empress's wounds.

"She has her life and decisions to make, and everyone here has a son or daughter, those are enough to safeguard our Kingdom." She politely responded.

" Humphh! You want us to use our children while you are hiding yours! What a selfish woman." She snorted back coldly, the Empress paled on hearing her words.

"Do you want to be the Empress? Cough, cough, cough.." she closed her mouth and coughed, due from being angered and trying to contain her anger, she felt her stomach churning and left the taste of blood in her mouth.

Concubine Shu flushed Reed from embarrassment, if any word got out, she would be labeled as a greedy woman eying the Empress seat.

"You are all dismissed." The personal maid hurriedly dismissed them seeing her Empress holding in trying to put up with her weak body.

The concubines walked away as the personal maid assisted the Empress while she passed the handkerchief to her.

The Empress vomited blood into the handkerchief as she tightened her fist on it.

"My lady.." the personal maid worriedly called whole assisting her back to her chambers.

"Did you see? Do you think the Empress is sick or something?" One concubine inquired.

" I also noticed her skin is pale and not rosy as usual, maybe she is cold or maybe not.' another one voiced out their thoughts.

"Mnnh actually it did seem strange, I did see a small drip of blood from the corner of her lips, I think she was putting a front infront of us." Another one voiced out.

Their gossips finally reached the King, "what did you say?" The King gripped the soldiers shoulders tightly.

"They are saying the Empress is sick and seems to be serious." The soldier repeated the rumours he had heard outside.

"Anyone who spreads rumors about the Empress will be hacked to death! That's purely slander! That's my order." He returned back to his seat and sat down.

How could he not tell the Empress had given up her life but what kind of sickness that attacked her over sudden, the previous days she was fine.

"Eunuch, summon the Palace physician and they better come to the Empress chamber discreetly." He walked out of the Mental Cultivation Hall and ascended down to the Empress Manor.
