Wanyan Kang giggled aloud and walked around in circles. He said, "Even if you are willing to do so, I will not allow it. You don't know how to lie and will be exposed on the spot."

Huang Rong and Guo Jing studied the room, which was furnished with normal wood furniture and normal farming tools. On the wall hung a moldy sphere and a broken plough. An old wooden carriage was placed in the corner of the room. Both of them thought, "This woman is a princess. Why is her house so plainly furnished?"

Wanyan Kang pressed his chest and the rabbit in his pocket let out a squeal.

The woman asked, "What's that?"

Wanyan Kang replied, "Ah, I almost forgot. I saw an injured rabbit just now and picked it up. Mother, please tend to it." He took out a little white rabbit and placed it on the table. The rabbit's hind legs were broken and it couldn't move.

The woman asked, "Good child!" She hurriedly took out some tools and medicine and tended to the rabbit's injury.

Guo Jing started to fume again and thought, "This man purposely injures the rabbit as he knows that his mother is kind-hearted and will tend to its injuries. Therefore, the woman will forget about the bad stuff that he has done. How can he be so evil as to make use of his mother's kind nature and cheat her?"

Huang Rong was leaning on him and felt Guo Jing's whole body quiver. She knew that he must be fuming with anger and was afraid that he couldn't control it and burst out at Wanyan Kang. She pulled his hand and said, "Let's ignore them, come, let's go and find the medicine."

Guo Jing asked, "You know where they hid the medicine?"

Huang Rong shook her head, "No. So we have to go and find out."

Guo Jing thought about how huge the Zhao residence was and wondered where to start finding, "It would de disastrous if we alert Shao Tongtian and the rest…" he was about to discuss this with Huang Rong when there was a flash of light in front of them. A man was carrying a small lantern while humming a tune. He was walking nearer and nearer to them. Guo Jing was about to slip behind a tree when Huang Rong rushed forward, towards the man. The man was alarmed and before he could say anything, Huang Rong flipped her palm and shot out a shiny steel object (direct translation) which pierced into his throat, she asked, "Who are you?"

The man got a fright of life and only managed to answer after awhile, "I…I am the caretaker. What…what are you doing?"

Huang Rong answered, "What am I doing? I am going to kill you! You are the caretaker? That's great. Where did you keep the medicine that your little prince asked people to buy during the day?"

The caretaker replied, "I…I don't know. Little prince kept it himself!"

Huang Rong used her left hand to twist his wrist and used her right hand to push forward slightly, causing the steel object to pierce even deeper into his throat. The caretaker felt strong pain shoot through his wrist but didn't dare scream out loud.

Huang Rong said in a low voice, "Are you going to tell me or not?"

The caretaker responded, "I really don't know."

Huang Rong used her right hand to remove his cap and stuffed it into his mouth. Following that, her left hand pulled and twisted his arm. A crack sound was heard as she broke the bone of his right shoulder. The caretaker yelled out aloud before fainting onto the ground. However the cap in his mouth muffled his voice.

Guo Jing was stunned as didn't expect this young petite lady to be so vicious and cruel in her actions. Huang Rong shook the caretaker and he came around. She swiftly removed the cap from his mouth and placed it back on his head before saying, "Do you want me to break your left shoulder as well?"

The caretaker wept in pain and answered weakly, "I really don't know. Even if Miss kills me, I still won't know."

Huang Rong only believed him then, she lowered her voice and said, "Go and find little prince now and tell him that you fell and broke your shoulder. Also tell him that you suffer serious internal injures and the physician says that you must take the medicine which he bought up earlier and is not available in the shops now. Beg him to give you some of the medicine."

The caretaker listened attentively to Huang Rong's instructions and dared not question anything.

Huang Rong continued, "Hurry up, little prince is at the princess's place. I am going to follow you and if I see that you do not act properly, I will break your neck and dig out your eyes." With that, she stretched out her fingers and made a clawing sign at the skin of his eyes. The caretaker shivered and stood up; he clenched his teeth, ignored the dreadful pain and dashed towards the princess's house.

Wanyan Kang was still talking with his mother when the caretaker suddenly dashed in, sweating and crying. He repeated what Huang Rong instructed him to say. The princess saw that his face was as white as a sheet and knew he was in great pain, she didn't wait for Wanyan Kang's answer and immediately ordered him to give the caretaker the medicine.

Wanyan Kang frowned and said, "The medicine is with Mister Liang, go and find him yourself."

The caretaker wept and said, "Little prince, please write a note for me."

The princess immediately took out some paper, ink and a brush and Wanyan Kang wrote the note. The caretaker bowed and thanked them while the princess said gently, "Hurry and take the medicine to cure your injuries."

The caretaker came out of the house and walked a few steps when he felt the cold blade of a knife on the skin of his neck. He heard Huang Rong say, "Go to Mister Liang now."

The caretaker walked a little but he could take the pain no longer and fell to the ground.

Huang Rong said, "If you don't get the medicine, your neck will be broken into two." With that, she pressed onto his head and turned it forcefully.

The caretaker got a shock and had a sudden wave of determination. Sweating non-stop, he hurried on. They passed by seven or eight servants but no one questioned anything when they saw Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

When they reached Liang Ziwong's quarters, they found the door locked. A servant then tells them that he has gone to the fragrant snow guest hall. Guo Jing saw the caretaker having difficulty walking and helped him along the way. They were reaching the guest hall, when two guards carrying lanterns in one hand and sabers in another said, "Stop, who's there?"

The caretaker took out the note written by Wanyan Kang and gave it to the guards. They glanced at it and let him through before going up to question Guo Jing and Huang Rong, the caretaker said, "It's our own people."

One of the guards said, "The prince is having a banquet with important guests, so no one is allowed to disturb them. If you have anything, you can come back tomorrow to…" he didn't finish his sentence when the two guards felt strength less, numb and were unable to move as Huang Rong had sealed their points. Huang Rong hid them in the bushes before grabbing Guo Jing's hand and made their way towards the entrance of the hall. She gently pushed the caretaker forward and swung up with Guo Jing. They caught the wooden window frame and peered inside the hall.
