Chapter 7
I wasn't sure what was happening as soon as the physician entered I was soon escorted out, the whole palace was awake. I sat down in the side room waiting for news. How did they come in, if it was the consort palace it would have made sense but this is the emperor's palace. Soon the Empress came with the 4 Noble Consorts and some high ranking consorts. I ignored them unsure of what the expect what I am even expecting right now
Hours and hours no news, I continue the long wait... Why do I feel anxious this is a child like every other child but why do I feel anxious and worried for this child?
Soon the head eunuch came in. "Your Majesty, the princess will make it. It was a strong poison, it was a good thing you noticed it very early."
My heart felt like a burden had been lifted as if the stone weighing has disappeared. I went to the room and saw that she was still unconscious. I went closer and felt the sense of relief that she was still breathing. That's when I realize how small she was and how fragile she is.
I dismissed everyone and only left the head eunuch who I have grown up with. This head eunuch, DingQi has been there on my birth and has served me since then. "DingQi what should I do with this child?" I asked not knowing what to do or even how to act. My own father had never shown any affection except when I succeeded in something.
"Your Majesty, that child is special. I know that she will survive." He answered me. He then left me thinking quietly if it was the right thing to do.

What happened why am I on this bed. I realized then maids surrounded me. "Your Highness you woke up." but it that crowd there was a certain face crying, clearly worried. "Your Highness you been asleep for a week." Hua said sobbing, "I thought u wouldn't wake up."
I realized after that I have been poisoned and someone tried assassinating me in the Emperor's room. Hua continued to stay by my side the whole day and at night enchantment was set in the room. But afterwards my life went back to normal, I never saw my father again. I continued to grow with my sister with no one coming to my mother's palace. They say my mother has lost favor.
