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
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
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 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
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
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
The entire palace became full and many people came for the wedding. Dai Chan who was with Zhao Yao, had no choice but to leave her after her maid had come searching for her. 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. Catching her brother's gaze, Dai Chan signaled him not to drink too much. Even though she didn't know her brother's reasons for marrying Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao was going to be his wife. Her brother had no choice but to take care of her till the day he dies. The crow
