In the deep darkness of the night, the palace is in no peace.
The emperor is furious with the imperial physicians because of their words
"You stupid beings!! Do you even deserve the title of imperial physician??" shouted the emperor
"your majesty please calm your anger!!!" begged the imperial physicians
"what do you mean???" shouted the angered emperor Qi Feng
"your majesty please calm your anger, the prince Qi Ran can't be cured. Only calmant Can work for the prince your majesty!!!"
"so you despicable doctors are telling me that my son is doomed to suffer all the pain and we can't do anything about it???"
The imperial physicians tried to reply to the emperor but were cut by the fourth princess, princess Qi Jian and the third prince, prince Qi Xu
"Father, why are those stupid things still there since they are so useless. They should be beheaded" requested prince Qi Xu
"I don't think so my fourth brother, you know that if prince Qi Ran got news of this he will blame himself plus these things are not the only one who failed to cure our little angel~~" stated princess Jian
while the two were discussing about how they should handle the situation, the imperial physicians were sweating all over as they were frightened by how princess Qi Jian and prince Qi Xu were discussing.
They were each stating their thoughts, as if they were discussing about the price of an object.
Finally the emperor shut them down with his fierce and angered voice
"This is enough!!!! Drive these useless things out of my palace!! How come my imperial physicians are so useless??? They didn't even find a cure for my son!!"
The imperial physicians were driven away immediately. The prince Qi xu broke the silence at last.
"Father, calm your anger. since they can't find a cure or even a calmant, we should try to find doctors from all over the country. But for now we have to pay a visit to brother if not he is going to be sad~"
The emperor calmed down after some reflection and then got a few man to announce his arrival to prince Qi Ran
The prince stayed in the palace all the time, he was very ill since his birth. He is a true beauty beside the fact that he is very sick and incurable, no one can match his beauty in the world. The prince is a very gentle and responsible person, he got a pair of beautiful eyes that even the emperor can't help but admire
The emperor got countless concubines but he only like the two concubines with which he got six children. The imperial concubine Shu is very refined and gentle and has two children: prince Qi xu and princess Qi Jian. Imperial concubine Li is a fierce woman, she got four children: prince Qi Cheng, prince Qi Jan, princess Qi Chen and princess Qi Lan. The emperor got one child with the empress which is Prince Qi Ran, naturally the emperor loved the empress more than the concubines.
As soon as prince Qi Ran got news of the arrival of his father, brother and sister he got excited. He wanted to see them pretty badly tho. He wanted to ask a favor.
The servants shouted the arrival of the Emperor, the prince and the princess.
Qi Ran immediately run toward his father with a cute expression and huge him.
" oh, isn't this my little boy? How are you doing recently?" asked gently the emperor
"I am doing fine father!! how have you been feeling brother and sister??" cutely said Qi Ran
They had a beautiful conversation when
Qi Ran suddenly started coughing blood before he fainted. The emperor begin to panic, the princess shouted at the servants to hurry and bring the calmant for the prince Qi Ran. All the royal family was informed of that incident.
When the new got to the Empress she immediately got to the palace of her beloved son, she also summoned the imperial physicians to the palace of her only son.
The imperial physicians were doing their best to treat the prince Qi Ran but they were useless, all the things that they tried didn't work so they reluctantly informed the emperor, telling him that the calmant that was the only possiblity of reducing the pain that the prince was in is now useless and there is no cure or calmant that would work for the beloved son of the country was the only thing that they could do.
when the emperor and the empress got hold of the new they were devasted, they felt useless because as the great ruler of a grand country they couldn't help their son. They had everything but they also couldn't have the thing that they wanted the most which was the health of their cute and adorable son.
The emperor whom was know for his cold heart and his cold blood was on the verge of crying. He felt like an ant, he had everything he wanted since his childhood but for the first time there was a situation in which he got no say. He wanted to see his angel like son to be healthy without feeling even a slight pain.
The empress, she who had only this son started to have heartache because of the situation of her child; not that she is complaining for having only this son of hers who is a blessing for her, he is like an angel that came from the sky to observe the world for everyone, he is the sunlight for the country, he brought with him the peace. She think that she is blessed to have a son like but why does her son have to suffer like this?? why?
All the palace was in a deep silence like if the death was around. The imperial physicians were very scared because all the physicians before them that announced a bad new about the prince Qi Ran was immediately beheaded, they were sweating all over while waiting for their destiny.
Their hearts were also aching for the prince Qi Ran because in the world nobody had something against the angel from the sky, the holy blessing of God.
Everyone in the country knew that since the birth of the prince Qi Ran, peace started to fill the world that was in deep chaos!!!
*I am always sick, everyone like me but I feel empty inside that's why I try my best to act cute and have people around me. Praising me, taking care of me , playing with me, it is like their life revolves around mine.
I never got the chance to walk around freely and I am not autorised to go out I am always inside this peaceful prison of love that everyone build for me thinking that it was the best for me.
it is not that I am looking down of how caring they are it is just that sometimes I get suffocated in the palace , I would like to see the world, to discover what the world has hiden within.*
- i slowly opened my eyes-
* Ah... my mind is always dreafting like this when I lose conscious*
"Mmm... wh-wha-what..?"
Before I could finish I was stopped by mom.
"Qi Ran!! lay down don't speak or you are going to tire yourself out. just rest more you need to rest more."
As always my beautiful mother was there for the moment I woke up. i was glad that she always rushed over to me as soon as she knew of my condition. she was afraid that if she wasn't by my side I would leave her, that I would die without her being beside me. That thought seemed to always float around her mind.
I smiled weakly at her before closing my eyes again. Everyone said that I was a blessing given to the empire by the gods , they even presented their words with evidence. Swearing that the day of my birth the sky was of an absurd beauty as they could see the stars on the day.
That same day the empire returned victorious of a long battle that seemed a lost case before my birth. People started to live in peace ever since that day, the world has, ever since then, been in a joyous state. i was happy that so many people were adoring me but i was also sad because it seemed that l had not a long time before passing away, and the thing that saddened me more, was the fact that l couldn't and did never go outside the palace.
l would love to go outside and to discover the world but no one would let me go around the world even if i tried to dissuade them by saying that l would take as many bodyguards they wanted me to take.
once more I opened my eyes weakly, this time awakened by the scent of something I liked more than anything, watermelon.
I can recognize that scent Everytime, it is so sweet. I could praise watermelon from dusk till dawn and I wouldn't have finished praising the superiority of that fruit.
Even when I am sick watermelon is enough to give strength to speak a little to other that come to visit me. As expected it was my father that ordered some servant to bring them to me. I proceeded to talk when father raised his hand asking me to rest instead of wasting my energy.
when he looked at my eyes and saw my gleaming eyes he right away understood what I was yearning for, he proceeded calmly and elegantly to feed me the already prepared watermelon. Squirming when the watermelon juice exploded in my mouth, I felt so happy that my father was feeding me and looking at me in such delicate way as if he were to apply just a little more strength, i would break.
" My dear child, how are you doing recently? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere right now??"
I just nodded my head slightly while plastering a weak smile on my face.With just that I could feel my father relaxing and that also make feel more at ease.
"Dear Qi Ran, you need to get better soon for father, okay? you need to stay strong Qi Ran!!"
With that small drop of tears fell from father eyes, rolled down his shinny cheek before ending their race on my forehead. I hold my hand up and wiped them down smiling wholeheartedly to father, wanting to show that I was alright and that it didn't hurt anymore. Also wanting to show him how much I loved him, wanting to show so many other things.
My eyes started to be blurry, the tiredness slowly enveloping me but before I completely began sleeping I caught a glimpse of my father smiling gently and fondly patting my head. Slumber finally completely took over me
but I had made a decision that once I felt better I would bring the topic about me walking around the world. All content about my resolution I slipped in the world of dream, a smile probably visible on my face.
