My mother sent a letter that she will personally pick me up for my own safety. She also intended to visit everyone close to her here. My father rarely approves her going to another kingdom, because I know he doesn't want something to happen to my mother. He will somehow lose control of the power that my mother holds so he needs to take care of us.
While it will take two weeks time before my mother arrives at the entrance of the city, I on the other hand will strengthen my body. The body I have is weak, I also found that I was poisoned not too long ago. I don't know who it was but it could be one of my father's concubines.
"Grandpa, I'll be going to the underground station today, can you tell grandma to send me some snacks? I really like her style of cooking..."
"Oh, goin' there to practice again? Yun'er are you sure your body is fine doing martial arts?" My grandfather really never gamble life over martial arts
"No worries grandpa :) I have been improving these days, and my body condition became better. The imperial physician can give you his word that I am already well"
Aside from the unnoticeable poison that's mixed in my blood. So I need to force my mother to send me to a medical institute.
"Okay you're dismissed"
I bowed and went got out of my grandfather's study room.
On the way I saw my uncle.
"Greetings Emperor Li"
"Yun'er ah! You child! You make me look so grumpy and old if you keep that courtesy on... Come-- come, where is my child going?"
I walked beside my uncle.
"To the underground"
"To the underground? Oh you want to watch the men practice martial arts?" He clapped as he might have remembered something from the underground
"Uncle I'm not going to watch them fight--"
"Oh? So why would you go there? That place isn't a place for children to venture ah--"
"I'm going to battle against the highest ranking officer in military. Old man says he is available today"
"Wh-what? You must not be joking to this emperor like that you silly child!" Then he patted my head
"But I wasn't" then I smiled innocently
