As soon as the system introduced itself they pulled out the papers that had the plans written on them.
"Emperor, this is why we proposed changing parts of the plan," Yuang said while holding up the papers. He then proceeds to give the reports of Prince Xiao to Emperor Zhouli and let him read his progress.
"Hmmm, I see, 08 how many days are left since the empress is now awake?" as Emperor Zhouli reads the report he asks the system 08998, now nicknamed 08 by the emperor, to see if they can prepare early for the plan.
[5 days left. Now that the empress is provoked to use food poisoning, you can start planning against her after confirming Meiling's location, but that doesn't mean she would hire assassins to go after Xiao. So better put some of the best shadows or hidden guards that you have to protect him.] said the system while he was watching the screens to observe the other members of the imperial family.
"Emperor, if it's 5 days we can start preparing the plans, but we need to make sure she doesn't know about them," said Yiang thinking of ways to deceive the empress, while the vassals agreed to what he said, they noticed that they have to leave the room since the further discussion is only for the teachers of Prince Xiao and the emperor.
They keep in mind that in 5 days the empress will use food poisoning on him, they will wait until they receive orders from the teachers or emperor since those five hold more power than any regular noble in their kingdom. After the vassals leave the room, Lumeng starts to speak.
"Emperor, there's also something that I didn't put on paper because its one of the reasons why we want to make changes in the plans," said Lumeng looking at the emperor with a severe face even though his face looked mean
"What is it, Lumeng?" asked the emperor curious as to why he didn't put it on paper. "Prince Xiao has started to develop the aura of a swordmaster and soon he should be able to use magic with his sword, I asked Yuang if it was possible to start his magic training after he wakes up from the poisoning," Lumeng informed the emperor of the great progress his second son made in swordsmanship.
"I told him that it was possible but he is still struggling with a few advanced theories on magic, but it is possible if he starts with the basics of magic first," said Yuang making sure he doesn't skip any details of Prince Xiao's progress on magic.
"I see, what about his alchemy and academic studies, Yiang, Loumei?" asked the emperor to the academic duo.
"He only struggles with a few advanced theorems of Alchemy but other than that we just need to advance to the practice of Alchemy," Yiang said commenting that Prince Xiao might be a genius in the making.
"I could say the same emperor, it appears that Prince Xiao only struggles with advanced theories and theorems if he doesn't understand how they reach that solution and seems to find a new and better solution for them. It also seems that he has good memory for a few things that he finds interesting but other than that he might become a genius but we can't tell until we make his exams," Loumei said while adding a few more words that the others didn't want to add.
"Hmmm, no wonder you want to change parts of the plan his studies are advancing faster than expected. For now, Lumeng start teaching him strategies for the battlefield, Loumei assist him with that and also teaches him about economics, Yuang keep helping him with the struggles he has with the theories of magic and Yiang start preparing to start with the practice of Alchemy; after 08 becomes Xiao's familiar we will proceed further on his teachings. Also, inform the head shadow guard to rise the number of shadow guards on Xiao, now that the empress is recovering she might do what 08 told us of the assassination attempts. Dismissed," Emperor Zhouli ordered them and started to change a few things on their reports since he knows the empress reads the reports of Xiao.
"By your wish, our emperor," all four said and left the office to leave the emperor to change their reports to the taste of the empress. But one must always be uncertain of the future since things can change during the path of the future they want be it good or evil, yet one question remains. What will happen to the first prince if Xiao is still alive? Will he be still alive or will he die?
