Once Han Bing reached his room he went over every event that the Emperor had done to him since he was a child. Some had been rather horrific but none had actually killed him. Those that had tried to kill him were nobles who wanted to get on the Emperors good side.

Even now Han Bing didn't completely know what his mother had done for this to occur. He would go ask her but she was locked away in a small manor courtyard to never leave and receive no one.

It was even more bizarre that the Emperor had completely ruined the lives of the nobles who had try to kill him. No one knew what kind of weird relationship there was that existed between the two of them besides perhaps the Emperor himself.

Han Bing laid on his bed as the time ticked by. Each memory he analyzed showed that he never used the same method twice, making it very hard to guard against.

Tossing and turning all night Han Bing has a restless sleep.
