In the forest, Chenguang and Zhang Wei was walking. Zhang Wei was making a plan to get the book. His all meditation was there. He was thinking about the book. The book is with Chenyin and Chenyin is with the Prince Wang Lei. He was thinking how to get the book.
"Am I doing the right thing?" Suddenly Chenguang's voice broke his meditation and made him look at her.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked her furrowed.
"The master, he saved me, saved us. Loved us as his own child. But you killed him just for a book. And now I'm helping you!? Am I doing the right thing?" Tears were flowing from her eyes. She felt very bad. She understood about her fault. She realized that she made a big mistake.
" What do you mean with that silly? The old master, you did everything to make the master happy. But he never taught you the secrets. And the did nothing but he taught her the secrets. Cooking, cleaning everything has done by you not Chenyin. And look at the Chenyin, you saved her life but she forget it and started to learn the secrets without you. I'm helping you to get revenge. But now you are talking like this. If don't need my help, don't need the book, then go to Chenyin. Go, help her." He stepped closer and growls at her.
" OK ok you said enough. Now let's go and make a plan." Chenguang started to walk and Zhang Wei followed her. Suddenly Chenguang saw someone behind the tree. She went there. But there was no one.
" What's wrong now?" Zhang Wei asked.
"I saw someone here." She replied.
"I didn't see anyone here. You must have seen the wrong." He said.
"I am also thinking so. OK let's go." They started to walk again. But Chenguang didn't see wrong. Really there was someone behind the tree. But who is he?
In the Palace, Chenyin was sitting in her room. She was worried about the king. The king was greedy, if he find out about the book? She scared of him. Oh! The greedy king's name was Qing Yuan. Suddenly Prince Wang Lei came to the room. He sat on the other side of the bed. He noticed that Chenyin's face was full of worries.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Nothing. I'm just a little bit worried about the king." She replied.
"Are you scared of my father?" He asked. Chenyin shaked her head. Her answer was yes.
"I think, I should leave the Palace." She said her head down.
"No you can't. If you leave the Palace, my father will find out easily that you are the student of master Qiang. Because he always has a doubt on everyone. He never trusts anyone so easily. I promised you he will never find out about you." He said.
"I hope so." She said.
"mmmm... Can I see the book? I mean if you want." The prince wanted to see the book. But Chenyin was scared to hand it over.
"I promised to master that I- - -"
"I won't open it. I will just want to touch it." He said. Chenyin gave the book to the Prince. The book was brown. It had a beautiful design on it. And it has also a lock on it.
"Hey it has a lock on it. Did you notice?" He asked.
"Yeah, I noticed. But I don't know about it's key." She replied. Suddenly someone opened the door and made them jump. Chenyin quickly took the book from the prince and put it under her pillow. But, it was Li Jie.
"Li Jie! You gave us a heart attack." Prince said to see Li Jie.
"I'm sorry Your Highness. It's dinner time. The King wants you in the table. One more thing, he wants Ms Chenyin too."
"He wants me too!?" Chenyin asked with fear.
"Calm down. Don't be afraid. Do as he said. Li Jie you can go, we will be there in a few minutes." The prince said. Li Jie left the room.
"OK now let's go." He said to Chenyin.
"What does he want from me?" She asked.
"I said you to calm down. Now let's go." They went to the dining room. The king and Queen was waiting for them. Chenyin never seen the Queen before. She bowed her head and honored them. Then the prince said her to sat on the chair beside him.
The king was looking at her and thinking about her. Chenyin scared to see the king. She was feeling nervous.
