The next morning, Xian Taiwen was fully recovered. He Yuan didn't care at all as he'd already carried out his mission successfully.
As for what he did to Xian Taiwen? Simple. He'd rendered the son of heaven infertile. For the common people and court ministers expecting an imperial descendant, he was sorry, no dragon kin coming from those loins. Ha Ha.
The imperial bloodline wasn't going to end anyways. There was still the completely healthy third prince. The rumours he'd spread days ago, on the other hand, had blown up to atrocious proportions.
He Yuan was beyond dumbfounded when he heard what the rumours had evolved into. Words going around were;
The empress wasn't possessed but was an evil spirit herself. The eldest miss of the Wei family had died at that attack and had struck a deal with the king of ghouls in order to give her a chance to return and seek vengeance.
