CAREFULLY

Afternoon at the Asian palace…

I just smothered the king for the second time. The blood that came out this time gradually changed colour, not as black as the first cupping. And after that, I gave her the potion I had made.

I was accompanied by Zu and also Shu. She was deliberately asking both of them to accompany her so as not to cause slander in the future. Shu and Zu also looked calm now. It seemed that Zu had lectured his brother.

"Your Majesty, don't take a bath for the time being. And try to sleep on your right side so you don't feel sick." I suggest.

"Father, how do you feel?" Zu asked his father. He sat on the right side of the bed.

"Father feels better and is not as stiff as he used to be," replied the king to his son.

"Father, let's go to healer Fu instead to get better faster." Shu chimed in.

"Healer Fu?" asked the surprised king.

"Yeah, just now at the market..."
