Jiang Empire, palace, night.
"Hao-er." Prime Minister Lin called after Lin Hao came out of the emperor's quarters. "Are you alright?" He asked. His eyes were filled with worry as he looked at his eldest, and most promising, grandson.
Lin Hao nodded, but he obviously looked dispirited. After all, not only Jiang Yan is the emperor who is the pillar of the empire, but he (JY) is also his (LH) lover. So, Lin Hao was twice as distressed because of what happened to Jiang Yan. In fact, Jiang Yan didn't have to suffer like this. But because of his love for Lin Hao, who could have been the one poisoned since Lin Hao could test the food for him (JY), Jiang Yan still suffered. He knows Jiang Yan loves him as much as he loves him that is why, for Jiang Yan, even if he would suffer himself, as long as it is not Lin Hao who will suffer, then Jiang Yan would do so.
