THE PRINCE OF HERBS

1389 AD, Ming Dynasty, China "Guardsmen! Take him to his exile in Yunnan, right now!" "Fu Huang!..." "Shut up! Oh... how can my own son stab me from behind... Not only other people I can't trust, and now I can't even trust my own son either!... It's far more painful..." *** "Tomorrow morning," Xie Wang said slowly. "Tomorrow morning... you will see dozens of dead bodies lying all over the streets in Yunnan." Xie Wang looked straight to Zhu Su, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "This is a war. The battle between me, Yuan Prince, and you Ming Prince. A battle to determine who is the most suitable to be the next ruler of Yunnan!" *** "Your Highness... Bad news, Your Highness!" Wu Qi was breathless as he answered, "All streets in Yunnan... are full of dead bodies..." Zhu Su stunned. It can't be, Witchcrafts of Xie Wang is the hell real?!? He just walked not any longer, yet he had found a dead body was lying face down on the street. The farther he walked, the more corpses he found. And finally, he arrived at the town square, where people had been crowded together. *** "I am Zhu Su, the fifth son of Hongwu Emperor, I promise to smash the Witchcrafts of Xie Wang, and get you all free from the outbreak!" Zhu Su sharpened his voice. "The promise from a leader is not a children's game. Bear it in mind!" A man in early forties, who seemed to be the leader of rebels, held his spear up, shouted, "Fine! We appreciate your determination, Ming Prince, so keep your promise! If you fail to keep it up, then I'll make sure that Ming honor, as well as yours, will be ruined!" *** A biographical novel of Prince Zhu Su, the fifth prince of the Hongwu Emperor who was the founder of Ming Dynasty, who devoted himself for medical science and humanity. But before he could fulfil his devotion, he was forced to go through royal disputes, conflicts, power struggles, punishments, rebellions, and even death threats. Could he overcome those problems and reached his noble dream? Find out in this novel. This is a work of biographical novel about a real historical figure.

WU QI'S DECISION 2

"Di Na, Lin!" Xue Mei gave a friendly greeting. "Instead of doing your assignment, you guys are chatting here?" She blinked playfully.

Di Na and Lin smiled shyly. "And how about you? Instead of focusing on your duties, you're taking a walk together right now?" Di Na just led to the topic she was curious about.

As expected, Xue Mei smiled with red cheeks. "Hey... why do you ask that?..."

"Don't be shy! Just tell us the truth! Wu Qi, Xue Mei, both of you are in a relationship, right?"

Di Na let out a big laugh as Wu Qi and Xue Mei gasped for a moment and their faces turned awkward.

"Wh... what do you mean?..." Xue Mei stammered.

"Wu Qi! You are a man, then you must say it frontally, are you in love with Xue Mei?"

Everyone was waiting for him, their hearts beat fast. Likewise with Xue Mei. For her, this was a good question. She could know about Wu Qi's true feelings. If Wu Qi had a heart with her, then he would admit it in public, right now...

"Ah, we just walk leisurely, this is normal," replied Wu Qi.

Instantly, Xue Mei lowered her head, disappointed.

"I can't believe it! It is taboo for men and women to be together often if there is no specific purpose!" Di Na demanded.

Wu Qi scratched his head. "Well... if you mention a specific purpose... I do have purporse with Xue Mei... I intend to get to know her better..."

Xue Mei was disappointed once again as Wu Qi did not continue his unclear sentence.

"Knowing Xue Mei for what?" But Di Na was not discouraged. She kept demanding.

"To... be my life partner."

Xue Mei looked up. She could no longer hide the joy from his eyeballs.

"Wow! Wow! That my guess is correct! Congratulations!" Di Na shook Wu Qi and Xue Mei's hands excitedly. Whereas Lin smiled happily. "When will both of you get married?!"

Once again, Xue Mei waited for Wu Qi's reply with heart beating fast. She was indeed very happy to hear Wu Qi's statement, yet she was still curious about Wu Qi's answer to this question. Wu Qi had told her that he needed time to think about it. Now since they had been through quite a while, and their relationship had become closer, Wu Qi still intended to delay this matter? Wu Qi still could not move on from Hu Nayin? Because, when she was hanging out with him, at the moment they were watching the sunset, Wu Qi could suddenly be dumbfounded. He also turned away, neither saw her nor saw any other objects. Nobody knew what he was seeing. And it occurred often.

Perhaps Nayin, Xue Mei thought sadly. I must prepare myself, if he still can't move on from Nayin...

"As soon as possible," Wu Qi answered firmly.

The atmosphere turned boisterous. Di Na and Lin clapped their hands eagerly, so delighted with this news. "Wow! We hope that the wedding day will be launched soon!"

Wu Qi looked at Xue Mei, grinned. Xue Mei also immediately responded to him with a big smile. Her heart was radiant with joy. An immense delight was covering her whole heart.

The delight as she knew, that finally Wu Qi could move on from his futureless past, and was willing to begin a new path leading to eternity happiness.

From afar, Hu Nayin watched the crowd that were laughing and talking cheerfully. She kept watching at Wu Qi, although Wu Qi could not see Hu Nayin since the dense bush hindered her from sight. She remembered on the days they both had ever passed through. Although she had no feelings for Wu Qi, she knew that Wu Qi had a deep affection for her. Actually, she really hoped that Wu Qi would throw the affection away since it would only make him suffer, yet she did not know the way to express it. Therefore, this news soon filled her heart with great joy. Slowly, she smiled happily.

Congratulations, Wu Qi. Maybe I am the happiest woman with that news. You are a very kind person, you deserve this happiness. Congratulation, you have achieved the happiness that is truly the best suitable for you.

***

"You will get married? Wow, this is really good news!"

Zhu Su, Hu Nayin, and all members of the Team of Wellbeing were looking at Wu Qi and Xue Mei who were now smiling bashfully.

From a distance, Di Na, Lin, Qing, and Xiong blinked mischievously at each other. This marriage would still be postponed if it was not Di Na and Lin who insisted on accelerating it. Apparently, Wu Qi still kept hesitating. It turned out that he was a type who had difficulty changing his principle, so it was difficult for him to be really determined to marry Xue Mei. Even though he could talk it persistently at first, but then it appeared that he still hesitated. Di Na and Lin - who were now being helped by Qing and Xiong - must exert a hard effort to persuade Wu Qi. And made him finally propose to Xue Mei.

Zhu Su said happily, "Just arrange everything you need, and tell it to me. I'll give both of you a wedding party you'll never forget for life."

Wu Qi and Xue Mei bowed respectfully. "Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Highness."

"I'm happy for you, Wu Qi." Hu Nayin also said. "Finally you find such a great life partner, I believe that Xue Mei will become your good life partner in your life."

Wu Qi now stared at Hu Nayin. His eyes emitted a strange flash. But only for a moment. As he found a glitter of happiness emanated from Hu Nayin's eyes, he quickly mastered himself, thus smiled widely.

"Thank you very much, Lady. I am so grateful for having Xue Mei as my life partner who is very sympathetic to me. And despite I have many shortcomings, she is still willing to accept me as her husband."

Hu Nayin smiled sweetly again. But this time, Wu Qi was determined not to put Hu Nayin's smile too much into his heart.

"Since when did both you fall in love?"

Now it was the turn of the Team of Wellbeing members to question both of them.

"At first you both appear normal, only once or twice you get close. But I never thought, only with such ordinary relation you are now getting married?!"

"How's it going on? Come on, tell me!"

"Don't be so shy! Ah, newlyweds!"

The Team of Wellbeing members threw a very festive party for the two of them. At the party they constantly questioned Wu Qi and Xue Mei, teasing and laughing at them as well. The atmosphere was very frenetic, full of excitement. Laughter seemed to be endless... forever...

Dissolving too much in happiness, their eyes appeared to be blinded from everything. Whereas, there was still a grin of the danger faced them. The danger was very vicious, and could eat anyone who got unprepared.
