Poison

...Ow! So you did remember me after so many years my dear second brother. Yun Xuan! Why the hell did you return. How can....father give you permission to return on such an important day. Why not I come back on this day? 2 days later our first brother will get married. How can I miss such a great occasion? Yun Xuan what the hell are you plotting now? 7 years...it's been 7 years. Do you know how much I have suffered. Yun Xichen it's all your fault. I will not let this matter slide. I will make sure everyone in this Kingdom suffers. You!! Xichen was so angry and scared at the same time. He thought Xuan would change after so many years but he was wrong. Yun Xuan I'll let you lay a finger on anyone. I'll protect everyone from your evil plot. Yun Xuan laughs. Let's see my dear second brother how long can you protect everyone. Saying this he left the room. Yun Xuan this time I will make sure you die horribly. Just like you did to me in my past life. No, I have to calm myself down. I can't let my emotions flow like this. Tan let's go we are going out. Bark, bark. ...

...2 days later at the wedding hall...

...Xichen was distracted. Last time my brother was poisoned by the crimson grass which can only be found in the West. But the physician deceived everyone saying that it was the Phoenix leaf that had poisoned my brother. The Phoenix leaf can only be found in the North. That's why Xuan has successfully blamed the Northern Kingdom. If I did study medicines secretly I wouldn't have known. Phoenix leaf....which has killed my brother in the past. Luckily I have already made the antidote. Chen, Chen. Huh! Today is your brother's wedding. Why are you so distracted? Um....I apologize father. I was just thinking about something . Come and greet the guests with me. Sure father. When Xichen was greeting the guests, he saw some people of the Northern Kingdom and the Northern King. He greeted them and started looking for Bailu but couldn't find him. He felt so upset. Suddenly someone called him from behind. When he looked back his tears covered his eyes, his happiness knew no bounds. He feels so happy that he suddenly hugged that person in front of everyone presenting in the hall. Bailu is that really you? I have missed you. I thought I would never see you again. Ahm.... . Sorry for being impolite in front of you, father and uncle. It's okay never mind. Look over there the ceremony will be started soon. Xichen got distracted again. But Bailu holds his hand and looks at him like his eyes are saying everything will be alright....

...Bows to heaven, bows to the parents and now bows to each other....

...The ceremony ends. Now you both can exchange wine and drink it. When Xiao drank it suddenly he spilt out blood and fell in the ground. Xiao what happened to you? Xiao, are you okay? First brother!! Someone called over a physician right now. It's really happening like the past. I have to wait for the right time. First brother can stay alive for 12 hours without an antidote. Sorry brother but you have to endure it a little longer. The physician has arrived. Your majesty I have checked his pulse. He has been poisoned. What!! Who dares to poison a royal family member. Your majesty the poison is called Phoenix leaf which can only be found in North. You are just framing us. Our Kingdom has nothing to do with it. If it wasn't your Kingdom then who is it? We have been friends for so long and that's how you have repaid our friendship. Father please calm down. We can't blame anyone without any evidence. Father I do have medical knowledge. Please allow me to check my brother's pulse. You can do as you please as long as your brother will survive. Second brother how can you check his pulse? You don't have any medical knowledge. Third brother you have just returned from the countryside. So how can you know what I am capable of? Move aside. Wait, second brother. Why? Looks like you don't want to save our First brother. That's not like this. I...I was just worried. Xichen pushed Xuan and checked Xiao's pulse. As I expected. Father it's true brother is poisoned but not with the Phoenix leaf but with Crimson grass. And it can only be found in the West not in the North. Is it true Chen? Yes father. Luckily I have the antidote of this poison. Third brother, you came from the West two days ago, right? You....can't falsely accuse me like this. Also he is a professional physician. He can't diagnose it wrong. Of course I am a professional physician. Do you dare to reveal your master. Second Prince. This is the seal my master gave me. I am his disciple. How...is this possible? It's him....
