The early night she veiled herself and went out, she planned to follow the soldiers this night; they came out from the pavilion and marched toward middle-grade residence areas.
They crossed small and big streets, it seemed that they were ordered clearly and they were following the orders.
Few stay behind and two went to knock on the door small maintained house.
A middle-aged woman opened the door, soldier inquired her about something which she argued, meanwhile, the middle-aged man opened the back door of the house and tried to run from the house, the soldier was infuriated that she was disinclined to tell.
Other who were standing at the start of the street, heard some movement in the back street, and went there and caught the man which could not run far away in this short time.
They brought the whole family with them to the pavilion.
She could not make any move because soldiers were scattered and on guard, they were well trained in martial arts too.
The whole family was doomed on this night…
...…..
A young man who had joined Palace security and was a soldier too was diligently on guard of Palace back forte.
This forte was greatly away from the Palace pavilion, he was unaware that his whole family was eliminated by the King.
He was thinking that when he would go on holiday to meet his family, what kind of presents he would buy for them.
His parents took much toil to bring him up that he was selected in the army and most importantly in the soldier squad which protect Palace.
To see him one could tell that his parents used their all sources to shape him up facing thick and thin without letting him know that they used their every asset to nurture him.
...…..
Two noble girls which were made slaves by the King were taken care of by the Queen.
Both were sitting in the servant abode, both were angry because the concubine made bad remarks to Queen, they knew that Queen was the kind heart and generous, she even went to the extent to help them from their hard labor and maid them maidservants so that both could live better and even cared for their necessities.
They saw the gloom in the eyes of the Queen when the concubine insulted her in front of many noblewomen of the Royal State.
Both were feeling helpless at that time.
One of them was learned medicine because their father was a noble physician of the province. Both were thinking of ways to teach concubines definite lessons.
"Jie, should we poison her meal?" thinking something younger one asked while both were sitting on their beds, they did not sleep. It was just the first fall of night.
"This way we might implicate others, this is a bad idea," Jie was combing her hair with slender long fingers and heard her sister, and it seemed that her sixteen years old sister was occupied with one idea without thinking about its consequences.
"Oh, I hit a good one this time, what if she lost her beautiful hair, how would she look?" Wei proposed another one; Jie looked at her quickly and asked, "Who would be brash to cut her hair?" Wei looked at Jie with glowing lexes and said, "I did not say that someone would cut them," she answered playfully chuckling.
We used to spend her time lurking around her father when he worked with herbs which means she knew some herbs. "I did not get the reason behind your glowing expression, Jie asked with a confused countenance.
"Jie Lan you have to bring some herbs from the herbs garden, if you wanted to know, what is in my mind, I can't go outside in the garden because I fear dark and it is already night."
Jie Lan was eighteen years old elder sister and Wei Lan was the younger sister sixteen years old. Jie Lan did not bother to pack her hair after listening that her younger sister had something batter in her mind.
She came out of her abode carefully so that nobody could see her walking around at the night. She crossed a small pathway with cat feet the softness and reached the garden which was much away from the central Palace building.
She entered the garden once she met the first fence and got hurt by it due to moonlight was not enough for vision.
Her sister had told her the herbs she needed to pluck, she walked in the tiny light of the moon which was not sufficient though but she tried her best to discern herbs and pluck their leaves for her younger sister to make what was in her mind.
Her movements were slow and calculated, sometimes she look this and walked to see the others.
This garden was close to the back forte of the Palace and Lue Zhen was keeping an eye, he turned to look around and noticed a shadow in the herb garden, this shadow was moving suspiciously in the garden, and he suspected that some spy might enter through some means.
