Proofread by Claire . KK

That Taoist priest became Marquis Deng’s apprentice .  So he called Marchioness sisterMarchioness  . And in the year after Marchioness Deng got married, her father Lord Deng, the poor man, died of disease soon . All his apprentices left in a matter of days except the Taoist priest . As he always got along well with Marchioness Deng, the Taoist priest chose to stay there as a protege .

It was the third year that Marchioness Deng gave birth to a boy . But soon after they found the little prince suffered from serious heart disease, shocked and disappointed .  Marchioness Deng was afraid that her son’s diseased might influence on his position, so she concealed the truth and always kept the secret, meanwhile trying to find a way to cure her son together with the Taoist priest . Hard work eventually payed off and they found a prescript after reading so many ancient book . However, the prescript was not an ordinary one as doomed virgin’s heart blood was necessary in it . According to the little prince’s birth time, they got the information that the girl should be a n.o.ble girl from the north . They were so anxious as they had no idea who the girl would be . But things totally changed as the little princess of Northern Di came to the capital city . The birth date of Mu Nanzhi matched perfectly with that of the little prince, which made Marchioness Deng get excited . A few years later, she asked empress dowager to marry Princess Mu to her son . And that was why emperor made the order about the marriage later .

The wedding date was coming . The Taoist priest suddenly began to have trouble with nightmare . Every night he could dream that there was a big hole on Mu Nanzhi’s chest and blood continuously ran out from her heart . The young girl just gazed at him with no expression on her face, asking him why he wanted to kill her .

The Taoist priest gradually got crazy after having the same nightmare for almost half a year . He even got into Marquis Zhongyuan’s Mansion on the day when the adult ceremony of Mu Nanzhi was held . He urged Marchioness Deng to refuse the marriage and not to kill the young girl . Otherwise, he would reveal the truth to the public .  Marchioness Deng hated him so much that she sent her people to kill the Taoist priest that night . But Xie Lun’s appearance totally destroyed her plan . After that, the Taoist realized Marchioness Deng was going to kill him, so he immediately went to the government office and told everything to the senior officer Zhao Liren . He simply thought that Zhao Liren could help him save Mu Nanzhi, but the officer just came up with another idea . Zhao Liren went to see Marchioness Deng and asked for a large sum of money to keep the secret and kill the Taoist priest for her . He was afraid that someone would notice it if he killed the Tao priest in the prison . So he told two trusted men to take the Taoist priest out and kill him in an empty alley . Unexpectedly, they were found by the guard troop and were caught on spot .

Emperor got furious for that and make an order to kill Zhao Liren and Marchioness Deng immediately . Marquis Zhongyuan failed to manage his home well and allowed his wife to commit such a crime, so he was demoted as Viscount Buren while Buren meant heartless .

Naturally, the marriage between the young prince and Mu Nanzhi fell through . To comfort Mu Nanzhi, who was too frightened to get out of bed, Emperor improved her position to high-ranking princess and expanded the scope of her administration from one thousand and two hundred families to two thousand families . .

It was at the end of the twelfth lunar month of the eighteenth year of Jiasheng .

As the event of Marchioness Deng finished, Xie Lun had a few free days, after which he became busy again . He always worked hard all night long . As soon as it was dark, he would go out to search for more information .

Du Heng entered the study with a pot of hot tea in his hand, sighing . “Great General has been in the capital city for half a month . Emperor refuses to meet him . And even those officers of both the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of War are not willing to see him . Xie Lun worked two whole nights and went to all officers’ homes to collect information in the past two days . All information suggests that Great General will get nothing back . ”
