In the White Palace, high up the clouds, two of the great gods were cheering with good wine in their cups. They were clearly in a celebratory mood.
"Yeeees, finally!", Mazu shrieked. "I thought the little one will never get that medicine, forever"
"Sush!", Fei Lian waved his hand to make Mazu tone down her cheers. They have done something against the rules of the Heavens.
The Purple Lotus bloomed a year back and as if the Heavenly Emperor knew about his plans, he asked the Lotus for himself.
Fei Lian did give that Lotus to his Emperor.
But, no one knew of the other lotus he had been secretly growing in his garden and that bloomed later.
In fact, that day in the council, Fei Lian wanted to slip in the medicine from the Purple Lotus to her but maybe because the Emperor saw his over enthusiasm, he decided to not allow him to get close to his poor descendant who lost the ability to carry a child.
