While the others lined up waiting to leave the capital gate, Song Huo dragged Master Lim's hand taking him to an alley so they could talk. When they were sure no one was watching, Master Lim dragged his hand away sighing as he waited for Song Huo to explain what he meant. “What do you mean I should help you? I have already helped you. My helping box is empty." Master Lim said. " Master, you know magic. You can take us out.” Song Huo said smiling as he watched Master Lim glare at him. “Magic? You want me to use my magic to help you leave the capital? Have you gone mad?” Master Lim asked. “Your magic is far stronger than Duke Fenghao's magic. There is no way he would be able to spot us with your help." Song Huo said. " As I've said before, my helping box is empty. It means I don't want to help you any longer. You should just figure out how to help yourself.” Master Lim said wanting to leave but Song Huo held his hand. “Don’t you want to save Wu Huan? Plus, my sister is pregnant. A
Dai Chan who had been watching everything closed her eyes as she saw her brother apologizing to Zhao Yao. She had not sure when she married Zhao Yao to Song Huo however after watching them these few days, Dai Chan was sure about them. They had fallen in love despite her doubts. Seeing them act so sweetly had made her feel like her life was worth it. What exactly was happening right now? Meanwhile, Zhao Yao slapped Song Huo hard across the face when she heard him apologize. Song Huo felt the sting from Zhao Yao's slap get he didn't move at all. “I am sorry." Song Huo said again feeling the pain as Zhao Yao slapped him for the second time. The pain on his face was nothing compared to the look on Zhao Yao as she stared at him and his sister. They had it for their father. Even though he didn't mean to decieve her, he was still at fault. Which was why he had nothing to say except sorry. Watching Zhao Yao raise her hand for the third time, Song Huo flinched closing his eyes immediately w
Wu Huan reached out for Zhao Yao putting her by his side as Zhi Hao entered dropping his flowers on the stool near the ancestral tablets. Reaching out for the incense sticks, Zhi Hao bowed his head closing his eyes while Wu Huan and Zhao Yao gazed at him wondering why he was paying his respect to their parents. “Don't you know that the dead hate hypocrites?” Wu Huan asked while Zhi Hao was standing back up. “It's been weeks already. Besides, why do you hate me so much? I didn't do anything to you. On the contrary, it should be me who should be getting angry. You knew about my identity and instead you wanted to take my place." Zhi Hao said as he closed his two hands. “You are right. However, I won't side with you either. There is no difference between you and Song Huo anyway. The both of you are now going to be in a power struggle. And the both of you want to use me." Wu Huan said making. Zhi Hao pause smiling. After lighting the incense sticks, Zhi Hao stood them up in the right p
Dai Chan marched heading to Song Huo's palace to look for him immediately after she heard what her maid had said concerning Zhao Yao's dethronement. Knowing Song Huo, she knew that he wouldn't just sit down and allow them to do such a thing to Zhao Yao. Rushing quickly to Song Huo's palace, Dai Chan saw the maids open the gate quickly and passed not even bothering to answer the maids as they greeted her. “Song Huo!” Dai Chan shouted calling Song Huo by his real name. She was the only one allowed since she was his elder sister. Entering the main courtyard, Dai Chan headed straight to his room while still calling his name. After seeing that he didn't answer her, Dai Chan continued to open different places checking for Song Huo. “Where is His Majesty?” Dai Chan asked shouting. Several maids rushed out to meet Dai Chan immediately they heard her scream but when they reached her, they were all speechless and unable to talk at all. “What is it? What is wrong with all of you?” Dai Chan
Wu Huan and Zhao Yao gazed at each other in confusion as they saw Song Huo staring at them. He had been awake and none of them had noticed it at all. “Why are the both of you looking at me like that? What decree did Zhi Hao make?” Song Huo asked again hoping that it would be a lie. “I am going to marry the head of the crime department." Zhao Yao said stepping forward to block Song Huo. “You are joking. You are still my wife. How can you marry someone else?” Song Huo asked. “I told you to have me dethroned. Since you are refusing to meet my demands, I have no other option." Zhao Yao said. " So you don't love him? You are only trying to make me dethrone you?” Song Huo asked. “Who said that? I didn't say that I don't love him." Zhao Yao said making Song Huo to take her hand. “Zhao Yao." Zhao Yao heard Song Huo call her name softly. “I already told you. You don't need to be like this. If you don't leave then I'll really marry the head of the crime department.” Zhao Yao said making
Shao Wen's eyes widened as he heard what Wu Huan had said. Staring back at the house, Shao Wen walked back to the house trying to see if it was true. The entire house had been cleaned up making it look as if no one had lived there at all. Suprised at what he saw, Shao Wen looked around one more time to make sure it wasn't a dream. When he was sure, Shao Wen ran back outside to meet Wu Huan as he pointed back at the house. “What? I told you that someone had cleared it out. Are you sure it was Yin Xue Yue's moon blade that caused the injury on the victims that were here?” Wu Huan asked as he bent down observing the ground. “I'm very sure. His moon blade leaves a peculiar mark of injury. I also measured the size of the injury just to be sure. I'm not mistaken." Shao Wen said. " Did anyone else know about the incident?” Wu Huan asked. “Nan Cheng and Xiang Jun knew. I didn't tell Song Huo though. I wanted to make sure before saying anything. You know that Song Huo and Yin Xue Yue have
While Dai Chan sat down shaking her head as she looked at Song Huo, Wu Huan and Shao Wen continued to look around the place. Shao Wen had confirmed it just as Wu Huan had said, the place had been cleaned up recently. Although he didn't want to believe it, his mind couldn't help but suspecting it was one of the members of Liming. They had been the only ones he had told. At the same time, he wanted to trust Wu Huan's words and believe it wasn't true. If that was indeed the case, “Do you think someone is setting Yin Xue Yue up?” Shao Wen asked making Wu Huan raise his eyebrows. The head of the crime department who had been trailing Wu Huan arrived at the place where Wu Huan was looking at other things with Shao Wen. Although he had not yet seen them, the head of the crime department jumped down from his horse, walking to where Wu Huan and Shao Wen's two horses had been tied to. Although he wasn't very familiar with Shao Wen's horse, he was particularly sure of Wu Huan's own horse. Not
Zhao Yao didn't show any reaction even until Dai Chan left. Later on, Zhao Yao went on to take a scroll deep in the night, Zhao Yao stopped when she realized that Song Huo was sleeping outside by the lotus pond in the palace. Even though she wasn't close to him, Zhao Yao could see how tired he was from his sleeping posture. One of his arms were stsretched out to support his head while his other hand on the table. Glancing around, Zhao Yao searched for a maid to send but didn't see any. Sighing to herself, Zhao Yao returned back to her palace that wasn't far away in order to get a blanket. While she was getting back, Dai Chan's personal maid spotted her as she was going to cover Song Huo. “Your Highness. Isn't that the Empress?” Dai Chan's personal maid asked showing Dai Chan. Dai Chan who had come out with Huanxing to try putting him to bed while taking a stroll outside. This was the only way to put him to sleep and Dai Chan made sure to do it a lot when she realized it was what he
