2. The Honorable Consort Jia Has Gone Mad

Jia Hui Liang looks at the servant who brought the items he ordered, tying his right wrist tightly with the cloth Jia Hui Liang takes the hot blade and put it at his wrist.

"Master do not!" Feng stops him by holding the knife.

"Let Go! Let Go!" Jia Hui Liang orders.

"Master you cannot! You can punish the servant later but you must not harm one's self!" Feng struggles.

"Let Go! I'll Stab You! I'll Stab You!!" Jia Hui Liang threatens.

"Stab me if you must but master cannot stab himself!!" Feng begs.

Jia Hui Liang is annoyed with this servant he should have dismissed him first, he just wants to remove the cinnabar! He isn't gonna kill himself. Hearing the commotion inside the rest of the servants came in a hurry.

"Go call the imperial physician! The Honorable Consort Jia has gone Mad!!"

The two male servants stayed back to resting the honorable consort while another servant ran to fetch the imperial physician!

"Let me go!! I'll have you all flogged and kicked out!!"

"Please calm down Honorable Master!"

Not long after the imperial physician arrived and though it took a bit of fight the Honorable Consort Jia soon became tired and had to rest as the imperial physician his wrist and checked his pulse, the imperial physician looks at the Honorable Consort Jia who was staring into nothing eyes devoid of the former bright luster he once had.

This was strange for the imperial physician the Honorable Consort Jia was once a lovely and kind soul what could possibly cause this? There were no irregularities in his pulse, checking his neck and eyes to see if there is any signs of poison or other illness but nothing. Nothing that could cause the Honorable Consort Jia sudden string of madness, however he looks at the bandage arm the Honorable Consort Jia had accidentally cut himself struggling with servants even one of the servants appeared to be harmed by the blade, this cannot be good! What will the emperor think knowing one of his Consorts has gone Mad with no reason or sign why except... no he can't possible it!

Soon Xia and Ling returned empty handed, they wondered why the imperial physician were here. When Jia Hui Liang sees Ling he raises his hand.

"Come, come,"

The physician observes the Honorable Consort Jia, who was now calm and collect.

"Did you give it to him?"

Ling bows with eyes close and soon reports, "his imperial majesty has taken his highness within his care,"

Jia Hui Liang looks at Ling, his lips twitching up then he suddenly burst into hysteria startling everyone.

"Him taking care of anything?! The only thing he cares about is himself! Who did he give it to? Honorable Lady Niu? Or official Lady Hu? No, I know that bitch concubine Fan Weimin".

All were surprised by the hatred expressed within his tone and on his face when the mention of the concubine Fan. But what baffles Ling more is what made the Honorable Consort Jia think

that the emperor gave the prince to Concubine Fan?

"Honorable Consort Jia,"

"Don't call me that! After all I won't be for long, Aha". Jia Hui Liang laughs.

The imperial physician really believes it, the Honorable Consort Jia has lost his mind! Ling feels sad she looks to the doctor both sharing a look before walking outside.

"Imperial physician I beg your mercy for I may be rude about this but I believe it's best is no mention of this event happening," Ling spoke naturally.

"Of course, it appears the Honorable consort Jia has a sickness in the head and will go Mad, I'm not sure how often but I will gives some medicine so he can keep calm."

"I understand, I'll make sure the Honorable Master has it," Ling confirms sternly.

The imperial physician nods before giving some sleeping medicine to him, since the master won't be breastfeeding for the night.

Jia Hui Liang was biting his thumbnail thinking, Fan Weimin a new serving ger that's from a small family usually it's quite difficult for for from small influence concubine to rank up but serving girl/gers? In less that month of being here he is already a concubine that's how good he was at raising ranks he was good at getting people on his side and that includes Jia Hui Liang who was naive and friendly but reality of being inside the palace harem was not as bashful as he once thought.

It was den of rats and snakes and not a place for the soft hearted.
