Han Jun then returns to the palace and Hua Yan waits for him in his chambers.
"My Dear Prince, I think you enjoyed yourself yesterday" she teases him and hugs him.
He pulls her back gently, "I should follow my beloved wife commands. What to do she doesn't show her love anymore" she makes a sad and disappointed face.
She kisses him and both of them continue to make out without indulging too much.
"I am waiting very badly for our child to be born, I will not show any mercy once he is born" he continues to kiss her.
6 months have passed and the prince has now favoured every one in his harem and Consort Ran is the most favoured among them.
But no one has conceived till now, which aroused suspicions among them.
What no one knew is that 7 of them have already conceived and Consort Ran and Consort Shen were among them but all of them were conceived with male child and Hua Yan has absorbed their souls which killed them before they even knew about the moment in their belly.
The prince continued to favour them and after another month only consort Ran and Shen Qing were conceived.
This news delighted the prince and the Emperor but also stirred hatred in Consort Shen as her step sister is pregnant with the prince child before her.
It's the 9th month of Hua Yan's pregnancy and she has already absorbed 9 male children's souls from the prince Harem.
Now many other women were pregnant with the prince's child including Consort Shen and Consort Lu.
Hua Yan protected the child in her womb from the unknown dangers in the palace from the last 9 months and it's finally the day she is going to give birth to the child and it is a full moon day.
Hua Yan screamed with pain as she went through labour. Han Jun is worried about her safety and his legs couldn't stay still but wander with the tension.
After a few hours of pain and agony she gave birth to a boy when the moon was in its peak form.
Han jun holds him in his hands and the child looks just like his father and his complexion fair and he looked so cute and handsome.
They both smiled with joy as they held their child in their arms.
The news of the birth of the heir soon spread in the palace and the Emperor asked Han Jun to bring the child to him.
Han Jun left with the child and entered the palace and as the Emperor held him in his arms, his eyes were filled with joy.
The child looked just like Han Jun and looked healthy after the imperial Physician took a look at him.
Eunuch Li then handed him an Imperial Scroll, Han Jun is shocked after reading the Imperial Scroll. He looked in disbelief at his father.
"Han Jun, Tomorrow is your coronation ceremony. Sleep well today and don't be late" The Emperor tells him in a caring yet concerned tone.
Han Jun returns back to his palace while the King prepares himself to hand over his responsibilities to his son and rest in peace.
After hearing the news from Han Jun, Hua Yan feels something off and asks all the palace maids and guards to be vigilant.
The Whispers soon reached the Queen and Han Yi Ying, they were enraged by the news.
"How could he do this?" the Queen pushed down the table filled with different accessories in anger.
"He wants to pass the Throne to Han Jun"
She is fuming with anger at the thought of Han Jun becoming the king.
"Mother, don't worry. I won't let that bastard become the emperor" Han Yi Ying's face is filled with disgust on spitting out his name from her mouth.
"I won't let that happen, Before the Imperial Edict arrives I will make sure to kill them"
Her eyes were filled with anger and desire. She is not someone who will sit still and let others take what she wants.
In the darkness of the night the shadows started to move unnoticeable in the palace.
The footsteps are unheard in the storm which is about to come in the palace.
Hua Yan was sleeping beside Han Jun with their baby when she sensed the presence of others in their palace. Her eyes glowed blue as she heard them.
She stormed out when she anticipated that they were about to break into their yard. She flew out in the air as she stood before them.
Her ambush caught them off guard as they were unprepared. But still a smirk rose on their faces underestimating her as a weak woman.
But just in an instant she showed her powers and everyone of them was pinned down to death by her.
All of this has happened and no one could even hear their death screams as it happened so quick and in an instant.
She looked towards the full moon in a cold stare.
"You have turned your back on me once, I hope you won't do it again this time" She whispered in the air as if she was telling it to someone.
She then sucks out every bit of energy from them and transfers it into her emerald necklace.
Their bodies instantly vanish into thin air as if they weren't even here.
A proud simple rose on her lips as that energy was stored into that necklace and she returned back into her room.
As the night passed by Yi Ying became restless as he couldn't get any response from the assassins he sent.
She noticed that there is something wrong "No, something is not right"
"What do you mean Mother?"
"I think our assassins are discovered, we need to do something else"
She immediately calls her maid and whispers something into her ears.
The maid nods and leaves.
As the sun rose the palace was in complete chaos. All the imperial physicians were running around to cure The Emperor.
Han Jun and Hua Yan entered the palace as soon as they heard the news that someone tried to assassinate the Emperor last night with a deadly poison and he is now in a critical condition.
"Brother, I never thought you would stoop to this level for the throne. Why did you poison your father?"
Han Yi Ying cried which caused everyone to suspect Han Jun.
"Who doesn't know your wife is a medical genius and what poison she can't use?" Yi Chen accuses both of them.
Han Jun is faced with accusations of killing the Emperor to seize the throne and for having intention of rebellion from the ministers.
The Queen smiled while hiding her face in the disguise of sadness and Chu Yi Chen enjoyed thinking about Han Jun's fall.
"Take the crown prince and crown princess in custody for assassinating the Emperor" The Duke seized the opportunity to arrest Han Jun.
As the guards came forward to arrest him, Hua Yan stood in front of Han Jun.
"Who dares?" Her tone is quite fierce which sent shivers into the guards.
Her Eyes are filled with anger and the entire room fell to silence by just a few words from her.
"Why will my husband kill the Emperor when he is the only Heir to the throne?"
"Huuh, You think your accusation will even matter?"
She spoke with confidence and she pulled out the scroll which the emperor bestowed upon Han Jun.
"Look, The emperor has already passed the throne to Han Jun a very long time ago"
"Look the seal and what it states"
As the chancellor came close to look he was surprised and smiled.
"It states that as soon as The crown prince gives birth to a son, he will be made the New Emperor" He shares the message very happily.
"Now tell us, when the emperor has already passed his throne to the crown price, what other reasons will we have to kill him and that too on the day of coronation ceremony"
As soon as they heard what was written on the Imperial scroll, Yi Ying and her accomplices were stunned and the Queen's heart sank in disbelief.
"It impossible, the emperor would never pass the throne while he is still alive"
She scoffs as she says that.
"Who knows if you have killed the emperor and stole the seal to seize the throne"
"You don't have any witness to prove your story" she smiles in a cunning way.
Just then Hua Yan's eyes smiled knowing their motive.
"Who said we don't have witnesses?" She smiled and Han Jun was also left surprised.
"Enuch Li, please enter"
