Chapter Sixty-Four: No Secrets Here

The Heart of the White Dragon

Chapter 64:  No Secrets Here

Pang Xi paced nervously back and forth across his study until his assistant warned him that he was about to wear a well-trodden path through his favorite Persian rug.  "Three days," Pang Xi muttered, "in only three days Shizi will come with the northern tribes to overthrow the emperor."

Yixuan could only shake his head helplessly.  The plan that had been in place for over two decades was about to come to fruition.  Pang Xi had been a reluctant accomplice to many of Lord Shizi's manipulations over the years, but too recently, something in his heart had shifted.  Yixuan knew that 'something' was a tall slender maid with a broken hand and a no-nonsense attitude.
