Eventually, the two fell asleep to the calming sound of rain outside of the palace. But what they didn't know was that Xue Quan was just around the corner. Of course he was jealous when he saw the two. For he wanted to be in Jinghau's place. His whole plan was to replace Jinghua and serve Ning Lin. Not only Xue Quan but also the Chisheng clan had been teamed with Ning Lin, besides Chisheng Wei.
But as Xue Quan entered the room, Jinghua woke up. He turned to Xue Quan who smiled evilly. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Jinghua said, whispering so he wouldn't wake Bingwen. "You make me jealous, Jinghua," Xue Quan teased, taking a seat on an open chair in the room, "I never expected I wouldn't be the only one like this!" Jinghua sat up, reaching for his sword but realized it wasn't there. "What do you mean?" he asked, Xue Quan chuckled.
"Ning Cheng, let me ask you something," Xue Quan started to say as he began to get up and walk over to Jinghua. He bent down to Jinghua, lifted his chin and gave him a kiss. Jinghua was shocked and pulled away. Xue Quan continued, "Are you perhaps..attracted to Yusheng Jin?" Jinghua was speechless, not only that but also blushing. He knew Xue Quan was like this but never expected Xue Quan to actually make a move on him. "W-What do you want, X-Xue Quan?" Jinghua stuttered, standing up to face Xue Quan. Xue Quan pointed his sword, Li Hua, as Jinghua, releasing chi from it. "I want to take you place!" Xue Quan then proceeded to jab the sword into Jinghua's hip, only the tip of the sword though. And it felt like his body was freezing when the sword entered his flesh. Jinghua could feel something crawl into and under his skin. He panicked as Xuw Quan pulled his sword away. Jinghua clenched his hip, falling to the ground. "You bastard! What did you do to me!?" Bingwen began to wake up so Xue Quan decided to take his leave. Jinghua stood up, his vision was blurred and there was a cold pain on his hip. "Ning Cheng, are you alright?" Bingwen said, sitting up slowly. Jinghua leaned against the bed to help himself up. "Y-Yes..I'm fine.." said Jinghua, holding onto his side. Bingwen could see that Jinghua was obviously lying. "Someone needs to die. So I'll be back." and before Bingwen could tell Jinghua to wait, Jinghua had already stumbled out of the room. He was going after Xue Quan.
Jinghua dragged his body against the walls. But he had already passed Xue Quan in another room he missed. Xue Quan came up behind Jinghua and knocked him out. Jinghua fell to the floor, unconscious. Xue Quan chuckled but then frowned and said, "Parasite!"
Bingwen wouldn't know what happened to Jinghua. His body was too weak for him to move much at all. But he was worried about Jinghua. After all, Jinghua had helped him.
