THE RISE OF LIMING SUSPICIONS
Song Huo smiled as he reached Wu Huan. Just as he had expected, Wu Huan had found everything out immediately. He had denied being to the brothel. If Wu Huan knew, his identity would be suspected. “Are you heading back to the manor? Let's go together." Song Huo said as he wrapped an arm round Wu Huan. While Wu Huan thought about what Yu Bai had told him, Song Huo looked at Wu Huan's face as they walked to know what he was thinking. Although fate wanted the two of them to be enemies, Song Huo didn't have time for that. Walking through the streets, Song Huo saw Zhao Yao sitting in front of a sugar candy shop watching as they made it. “What is she doing here?” Song Huo asked out loud forgetting that he was with Wu Huan. “What is who doing here?” Wu Huan asked stopping as he looked around. Zhao Yao was sitting closely next to them. Song Huo moved in Wu Huan's view blocking Zhao Yao so that Wu Huan won't see her. She and Dai Chan searched desperately for the crown prince of Chu. They w
THE RISE OF LIMING ZHAO YAO'S MARRIAGE
Wu Huan and Zhao Yao stood facing each other and none of them moved from the spot. Wu Huan wanted to meet Dai Chan, although Zhao Yao had no idea why, she had a bad feeling about the entire thing. They had been very careful for some days after Xing Ming got angry. If Dai Chan was found with Wu Huan, things would automatically become worse. “Why do you want to meet her? Forgive me but I don't think that would be possible. Sister Dai has a lot of things going on in the palace. It's not convenient.” Zhao Yao said. “She is the Noble Consort. I know she is busy. However it's very important. Princess Zhao Yao, I beg of you to do me this favor." Wu Huan said before leaving. Zhao Yao watched Wu Huan leaving and she couldn't help but wonder what he wanted to talk to Dai Chan about. Just as she was about to leave, Zhao Yao bumped hard into someone. “Ouch!” Zhao Yao said as she rubbed her forehead before looking up. Just by how broad his chest was, Zhao Yao could already tell who it was. Ga
THE RISE OF LIMING TRUTH OR LIES
All the eyes in the banquet looked at Zhao Yao as they saw her kneel down in the middle of the hall introducing herself. She had been scorned all her life because of where Dai Chan had come from. To think that Dai Chan actually had a secret that no one knew. She was the elder sister to the crown prince of Chu. The one that currently wanted to marry her. “Zhao Yao, have you met the crown prince before?” Xing Ming asked. “Your Majesty, I met the crown prince briefly at the palace gate. I had no idea who he was and just passed by. Crown prince, please forgive me.” Zhao Yao said before bowing her head. The crown prince of Chu stood up from his seat rushing to meet Zhao Yao. This gesture made Xing Ming gasp as it looked like the crown prince of Chu wasn't joking. Zhou Dong looked at the emperor and the empress's face seeing the look of shock on them. They had invited him obviously to shame him. He had been the former prime minister but they had forced him to leave. Did he have resentmen
THE RISE OF LIMING TRUTH OR LIES (2)
The words of question from Wu Huan made Dai Chan speechless . This was the last thing she had expected that he would ask. The look on her face was enough to give her away. “I really hope that you will tell me where my sister is." Wu Huan said. " I cannot tell you that. Not right now." Dai Chan said. " That means you really. You really did kidnap my sister. How could you take my sister from me because I wanted to leave the brothel?” Wu Huan asked. “Who told you that I kidnapped your sister? Was it Yu Bai?" Dai Chan asked as her eyes narrowed. She was sure it was Yu Bai. “It doesn't matter who told me. Your words and the look on your face has told me exactly all I need to know. Where is she? What did you do with my sister?" Wu Huan asked angrily as he reached out to hold Dai Chan's hand dragging her closer to him. “Wu Huan, release me. Have you gone mad? I am the royal Noble Consort." Dai Chan said as she glanced around checking no one was watching them. “Tell me where my sister
THE RISE OF LIMING UNEXPECTED TRUTH
Zhao Yao watched as the crown prince of Chu entered and she couldn't help but stare at him. He was finely dressed in his royal robe and his handsome face seemed to have attracted all the girls. But instead, he was walking towards her. Watching him stand in front of her, Zhao Yao bowed her head immediately. “Greetings Crown prince." Zhao Yao said bowing her head down to the ground. Han Ying and the other princesses watched the both of them. Zhao Yao was Dai Chan's sister. Although she didn't have a little sister, she couldn't bear to see that Zhao Yao was the one getting married to the crown prince of Chu. She had watched the Empress Dowager try her best to scatter the marriage but instead, the emperor had almost embarrassed the Empress Dowager in front of everyone. “What are you doing? Please stand up.” Han Ying heard the crown prince of Chu say as he helped Zhao Yao up. Zhao Yao smiled helping the crown prince of Chu in his scheme. She knew that he had come to help her deal with
THE RISE OF LIMING STRANDS OF LIES
Staring at the manor he had just come out of, Wu Huan got lost in thought. How was he supposed to tell Zhi Hao the truth? At first their relationship seemed wrong because she was the empress. Now, she was his sister. Sighing to himself, Wu Huan returned back to the manor only to see Xiang Jun alone in the manor. “Where is Zhi Hao?” Wu Huan asked as he entered looking around. “Brother Zhi? He isn't here. Why? Are you looking for him? I can go and get him.” Xiang Jun said standing up. “No need. I was just asking.” Wu Huan said nervously as he turned back to look at the gate. “You look pale, brother Wu. Is there a problem?” Xiang Jun asked making Wu Huan turn around. “Is Brother Song here?" Wu Huan asked. " Brother Song? Yes. He is in his room.” Xiang Jun said watching as Wu Huan passed him heading to Song and Yin Xue Yue's courtyard. Meanwhile, Song Huo was in his room sitting down. It was rare for him to be at home instead of going to the brothel. Their master had not come to g

Zhao Yao looked at Dai Chan as she said those words knowing they carried a great meaning behind them. They had been together for a long time. Although she didn't agree with some of the things Dai Chan did, she knew that they still reached the same goals. What she was in doubt of, was if Dai Chan knew she was in love with Xing Ming. “What happens when I leave for Chu? Will you continue our revenge as you planned?” Zhao Yao asked. “What do you mean?” Dai Chan asked gazing at Zhao Yao. Dai Chan knew everything. The question couldn't be more clearer than the morning sun. Looking back at her maid, Dai Chan signaled her maid to go and watch around while they talked. “You are the elder princess of Chu. You came to Zhou for the crown prince. You must have known the type of person Xing Ming was. If not, you wouldn't have come here. So many years have passed. Twelve years to be exact. It's a long time to form a bond.” Zhao Yao said. “Are you saying that my sister will betray her country in

Leaving with her maid, Dai Chan arrived at the emperor's palace where they were holding the wedding. All the officials from both Zhou and Chu had arrived for the wedding had were busy flocking round the crown prince and the emperor. This was what Dai Chan was afraid of. She and her brother were the children of the one and only empress of Chu. Her parents may not have been close but they had taken care of them very well. The problem was the concubines. “Congratulations." Dai Chan heard the officials from Chu say to her brother as they drank wine together.

Nevertheless, she left him a perfect gift. Her son. Wu Huan didn't mind who was Huanxing's father. To him, he was his son and he would take care of him as long as he was alive.

The rest members of Liming gasped in shock as they saw me that Nan Cheng was about to be killed. Luckily, Nan Cheng has seen it coming and jumped up into the air to avoid the sword. Even when she saw that she had failed, Han Ying didn't stop. “Kill him. Make sure you kill him!" Han Ying said exposing herself while Han Ling remained calm. The royal guards that she had come with, immediately brought out their arrows showing their true intentions. Wu Huan saw the arrows being fired at Nan Cheng and immediately went to block it for him. The two of them blocked all the arrows watching it fall to the ground. But the more they blocked the arrows fired at

“What? What did you say? Wu Huan is holding Duke Chengzhou hostage for his deed?” Han Ying asked as she stood up. Staring at her toys, Han Ling heard everything yet she didn't say anything and continued to play with her toys as if she wasn't concerned. “Has he gone mad? Let's go immediately." Han Ying said about to leave but stopped when she realized that her daughter was not with her. Turning back, Han Ying signaled her daughter to get in line and Han Ling stood up obeying immediately. Few minutes later, they all arrived at Duke Chengzhou's manor where Wu Huan was still holding Duke Chengzhou hostage. He had alreadygotten the deed and was coming out of the manor when Han Ying's carriage stopped iln front. Holding her maid's hand, Han Ying came down and Han Ling followed. “Wu Huan."

FINAL REVELATION (3)
Few seconds later, Wu Huan was rushing out of the house in order to go and find who had been behind everything from the beginning. This unknown person was finally ready to show his face which meant that Han Ling's suspicions had been correct. Anger blinded his eyes and all he wanted to do was to destroy that person. But just as angry as he was, he was also afraid. “Wu Huan." Wu Huan heard his name only after he had felt something grab him. Lifting his head up, Wu Huan turned and saw Zhi Hao. He had already forgotten about Zhi Hao who had followed him. Unlike Wu Huan who was blinded with rage, Zhi Hao was not. Therefore, Zhi Hao could see that it was a huge set up. “Where are you going? Don't you know that it's a trap?" Zhi Hao asked. " Trap or not, do you expect me to leave my sister and allow her to get killed?” Wu Huan asked. Hearing what Wu Huan said, Zhi Hao sighed knowing that there was actually no way that he could stop Wu Huan. Later that evening, Zhi Hao sent a message

“ Who am I?" Han Ling asked as she laughed walking across the room. Wu Huan and Zhi Hao who had been watching her stood suprised as they watched Han Ling move to the window. Just then, the doors opened and the guards came in leading Duke Fenghao. After leading him inside, they left leaving him alone with Wu Huan and Zhi Hao. Glancing at the room, Duke Fenghao already knew something was wrong. “Your Majesty, what is happening here? Do you mind telling me?” Duke Fenghao asked as he looked around the room. “Duke Fenghao, Wu Huan is saying that someone kidnapped Princess Zhao Yao. Did you do it? I believe that you might be the one since you have a grudge against his family for stealing your family's deed.” Han Ling said. “Your Majesty, that's impossible. I would never do such a thing. At all. Even though it is true that he did steal our family's deed, I have no reason to kidnap his sister.” Duke Fenghao said. “But it won't be the first time you have done that. As I have heard, the pr

FINAL REVELATION
Han Ling walked from her royal chair where she was supposed to be and walked to the window gazing through it. “In this palace, there are a lot of things that cannot be said. I only hope on others till I can gain my own power. There are a lot of things happening but I can't do anyone about it. Please help me.” Wu Huan heard Han Ling say. After remembering what Han Ling said, Wu Huan left the palace gate about to enter his carriage when he saw Zhao Yao hiding by a corner. Glancing around confused, Wu Huan stepped away from his carriage walking to where Zhao Yao was. “ What are you doing here? Hiding like that.” Wu Huan asked Zhao Yao. Few seconds later, Wu Huan and Zhao Yao stood in an alley talking. Wu Huan had dragged her hand immediately he saw that she had been holding a bag. “Where are you going?” Wu Huan asked Zhao Yao even though he he already knew the answer. Zhao Yao was leaving so suddenly. It could only he because she had heard something about Song Huo. At this moment,

Shao Wen's eyes widened as he heard what Zhao Yao had said. Hearing that it was about the gate of heaven, Shao Wen drew closer near to Zhao Yao and glanced around to make sure no one was around. “Gate of heaven? Did you just say the gate of heaven? How is that possible? You don't think that Brother Song has something to do with this, do you? I can sincerely vouch for him. He would never do such a thing.” Shao Wen said immediately trying to convince Zhao Yao. Shaking her head, Zhao Yao sipped her tea before glancing at her cup as she dropped it down. She already knew that Song Huo wasn't behind it. “I know that he isn't the one behind it. You don't need to convince me otherwise.” Zhao Yao said. “Are you really not going to return back to Chu with me?” Shao Wen asked. Zhao Yao looked at Shao Wen and sighed not knowing if she was doing the right thing. At this moment, she knew it was better to reason with her head rather than her heart yet, she couldn't find herself doing it at al

Glancing up at the ceiling, Han Ying took a deep breath before putting her head down. Lately, she was losing a lot to Zhi Hao and she didn't like it at all. Not wanting to comprise, Han Ying opened her mouth to speak but looked at her personal maid and saw her signal her to not do it. This was more than them just accepting whatever Zhi Hao said, her pride was slowly diminishing. Deciding to heed to her personal maid's warning, Han Ying looked at Han Ling and nodded her head. “Thank you, mother." Han Ying heard Han Ling say as her daughter jumped into her arms hugging her. “Thank you, Queen Mother." Zhi Hao said bowing his head as he smiled. Leaving the palace, Zhi Hao smiled as a part of his plan had worked. He was one step away from revealing the truth. Few days later, Zhi Hao set the trap he wanted in the palace without anyone knowing. Meanwhile, Han Ying was getting anxious by the minute every single day. Zhi Hao had told them that he was going to set a trap but he had not told

Few minutes later, Song Huo woke up with blurry vision as he opened his eyes for the first time. Glancing around, Song Huo looked and saw that he wws still in the same room as his unconscious father. Seeing his father in a coffin, Song Huo immediately got the idea of had really happened. Although their royal family had learned the magic that could be used to preserve a person in between the gate of life and death, there was a price to be paid for it. Sitting up, Song Huo looked to trying to avoid Nan Cheng's gaze as he knew his younger brother very well“There is no need for you to continue staring at me. I know very well what I am doing." Song Huo said" What you are doing? I don't think you know at all. The price of you performing such magic, you must know yourself.” Nan Cheng said making Song Huo stand up immediately. “Enough. You don't need to continue telling me about such trival matters. I will handle myself. Just make sure that you help me perseve my father's body.” Song Huo
