The Crowned Cat and The Fallen Prince

That night, long ago, as the rain soaked the ground, he should have turned away instead of foolishly waiting for her! Oh, why did he have to stubbornly wait for her? Their life was now drenched in the colours of both love and blood. That ill-fated night, he kissed her, whereas she thrust the dagger into his chest, clenching tightly the icy white jade hilt and pushing. As Shufeng watch his blood spilling, he was still more bewildered than angered. How could he possibly bear it: killed by the woman he loved? Untold confusion and fear filled his eyes when he simply asked: “Why?" She wanted Shufeng’s brother as the future emperor, and revenge for the death of her family. Crestfallen and heartbroken upon finding out she had been deceived, Emika is willing to sacrifice everything–even at the risk of loosing her human form forever–to find him, be with him and seek forgiveness. A tale packed with sword fights, lies and betrayal, lost love and redemption, court intrigue, crossing world, stolen memories and; a story of a prince fighting back to claim the throne, and a woman changing into a cat.

The Day Emperor Akishino Died - Part 16: The marriage contract

Taizong waved his hand indicating the maidservant to fill their cups with plum honeyed wine. Thereafter, another gesture, and the maidservant bowed then scurried away.

Taizong exchanged glances with Shufeng; and suddenly stretched out a hand and held his shoulder, the contact causing the latter to writhe a little on the wobbly stool.

Shufeng's brow twitched, really surprised at the hesitant and sad expression on his brother's face.  "I fear father is like a lamp that has used its oil."

Shufeng gasped a lungful of air. "I have known for some time of his ill-health." He blinked away the sudden stinging in his eyes. He hadn't cried for his father since he was a little boy and he wasn't about to now... All his tears were purely for his mother.

But, if his father wasn't long for this world, it might be too late then for hopes of building a strong filial bond. And this thought suddenly hit him with great sadness.
