1. Take It Away

Opening his eyes, Jia Hui Liang looks to the roof of the building it was family yet strange getting up he feels a slight pain in his hips.

"Kuuu hmmn~"

Hearing the soft kuuing sound Jia Hui Liang looks over the other side of the bed to see a baby in a cradle, soon terror struck him at his core as he backs away rapidly and soon fell off the other end of the bed.

Hearing the loud tumble the maids Xia and Ling hurried in to check on there master.

"Take it away!"

The maids look around to see what the master was speaking of but saw nothing.

"Take it away! Take it away! Get it out of here!"

Hearing the loud commotion soon the baby begins to cry miserably. Terror pierced the heart of Jia Hui Liang as he heard the cries of the child on the other side.

"SHUT IT UP AND GET IT OUT!! TAKE IT AWAY! TAKE IT AWAY!!"

The maids at first confused about their master's reaction, he soon pulls the sheet over his head to bury the noise. Ling soon goes up to Jia Hui Liang holding him as he begins to hit himself and kick about.

"Master it's only the young prince! Master it's only the young prince!"

"GET IT AWAY!! TAKE IT AWAY!!"

Xia who had picked up the young prince was confused on what to do but soon Ling looks at her shaking her head, Xia frowns at first but nods and leaves the room. Ling tries holding the frantic master as she begins to calm him.

"Master the young prince is not here, the young prince is not here anymore,"

"It's not, it's not, it's not" Jia Hui Liang repeats calming himself down.

"Yes, the prince is away."

"Don't bring him back," Jia Hui Liang said.

"M-master?!"

"Don't bring him back!" Jia Hui Liang orders.

"But master the prince needs to feed!!"

"Don't bring him back!"

Ling was puzzle just until yesterday you couldn't take the young prince away as the master was so crazy attach seeing this is a child between him and the emperor, but now it's as if some took a snake and throw it at him. Slowly she removes the sheet from her master's head, she froze seeing tear stained cheeks and eyes of despair she didn't understand.

This was not the eyes of her master, her master is happy cheerful and kind how can this be?! Not mention the grips of the master was as if fast with terror.

Jia Hui Liang hands where trembling, the sound of children terrifies him. They called it his baby but how can that be? Weren't they all gone and taken away by now? Looking at the maid in front of him he begins to sober he then gently touches her face.

"Ling, that's you? Lingling!"

He then hugs her confusing the maid more he pulls back Looking at her face once more, "Lingling you're well,"

"Master?"

Jia Hui Liang gets up looking around, finally realizing this place… it wasn't the abandon palace he soon starts to walk and Ling follows suite as her master walks around looking around.

Ling was very concern with her master, Jia Hui Liang stops in his tracks as it came to him. He looks at his trembling hands as he looks at Ling and whispers, "18 years…"

Ling tilts her head in confusion, Jia Hui Liang calapse to his knees.

"Master!"

Jia Hui Liang holds up his hand gesturing he is fine.

Eighteen years, it's been eighteen years before his miserable death. He grits his teeth he was given a second chance a change in his faith this time will be different, he soon turns his head.

"Ling go bring that baby to his imperial majesty,"

"Master?"

Before that baby cab be taken from he will give it away, he wants nothing to do with that baby. He will not fatten his sheep for wolves.

"Master you can't possibl—"

"It's either he takes the baby or I'll drown him,"

"MASTER!!!"

Ling looks in her master's eyes and saw the seriousness of the situation, has her master lost his mind?!

"Take. That. Child. Away,"

Ling nods then bow and walks away, Jia Hui Liang stands firm he'll never be that Jia Hui Liang anymore he will never love that man again he'll never give birth another child again. He looks at the bright red cinnabar on his wrist with disdain and disgust, "Feng! Feng!"

"Yes master!"

"Bring me a hot knife! With a cloth and bowl of water!"

"Yes master" she hurriedly left the room.

Jia Hui Liang went back to his room, to sit and plan. The only way he thrive in this life is by raging and fighting he will no longer be the simpleton who has everything taken away in fact he'll have nothing to take away.
