Duke Kaifeng gazed down at his hand that Wu Huan was holding desperately. Although Wu Huan sounded desperate, Duke Kaifeng couldn't trust him at all. Wu Huan still didn't know about their plans which was why Duke Kaifeng didn't throw Wu Huan's hand off his as ye wanted. Instead, Duke Kaifeng removed Wu Huan's hand carefully letting it fall. “A of this is a misunderstanding. Our family is very loyal to His Majesty. You have nothing to worry about at all.” Duke Kaifeng said before leaving. Wu Huan sighed after being all alone in the room. What he had said had not gotten at all into Duke Kaifeng's head at all. Few minutes later, the servants came back in helping Wu Huan to finish dressing up. The time for the Empress's birthday banquet finally arrived and eveyone sat down already eating and celebrating. The Empress Dowager and Xing Ming smiled accepting all the good wishes from the officials. Finally, Han Ying entered the room. Her beauty had always been the topic of the day whenever
Eveyone turned to look at the fireworks and Han Ying saw Xing Ming looking too. Looking at her father. Duke Kaifeng looked around seeing that there were so many people watching the skies yet he couldn't leave. Although everyone was looking at the fireworks, Duke Kaifeng knew it was going to make Xing Ming suspicious. “Find out who threw the fireworks. Today is the Empress's birthday. How could they throw some so dangerous?” Xing Ming asked. “Forgive me, Your Majesty. I wanted to impress Her Highness. That's why I threw the fireworks. Ever since Her Highness was a child, she had always loved watching them any time there was a festival." Duke Kaifeng said stepping forward. “Your Majesty, in my opinion, it's alright. After all, it's to make the Empress happy. I am sure that Duke Kaifeng must have taken all the necessary steps to make sure that they don't harm anyone.” Xing Ming heard the Empress Dowager say and clenched his hand. Although he was sure that there was something else goi
“How can someone like you want to stop me? Yin Xue Yue, you overestimated yourself." Song Huo said smiling. " Attack!” Song Huo's commander said and Song Huo's soliders charged forward attacking Yin Xue Yue's men. The two sides began to start fighting while Song Huo continued to look at Yin Xue Yue who was gasping on the ground. Watching his men fighting, Song Huo reached into his sleeves immediately pulling four new knives. Passing by Yin Xue Yue, Song Huo headed to go and try and fight the enemy soliders but stopped when he felt someone grab his leg. It was Yin Xue Yue. Before Yin Xue Yue could use his moon blade to scratch Song Huo, Song Huo jumped up in the air landing on a tree branch. “What are you doing? You want to use sneak attack? Such a coward." Song Huo said sneering at Yin Xue Yue. Song Huo's words affected Yin Xue Yue as Yin Xue Yue hit the ground raising himself up. Bringing out his two moon blades, Yin Xue Yue kept them at his side before laughing at Song Huo. “Yo
The entire hall became quiet as everyone waited for Wu Huan to wake up. Song Huo had finally restored Wu Huan's memories. It wouldn't take long before Wu Huan remembered everything. Zhi Hao arrived at the capital seeing everything was silent at the capital gate. Although the gate was open, there was no one at the gate. Raising his hand, Zhi Hao stopped the men that were coming behind him. “What happened here?” Zhi Hao asked. Duke Fenghao entered inside along with the head of the crime department looking around the gate to see what was happening. Looking around, Zhi Hao sighed. “Something happened here. We should be careful. It might be a trap." The head of the crime department said. All of them entered inside walking in slowly. The entire capital already looked deserted because most people already saw that there was going to be a war soon. Wu Huan woke up after a few minutes and finally, he remembered everything. Looking around, Wu Huan blinked twice looking around before seeing
Zhou Dong's eyes narrowed as he heard what Wu Huan said. It was unbelievable even though everything seemed to have fit completely. When Zhou Dong had first met Wu Huan, Wu Huan had been very hostile to him at a young age. It has taken a long time to get Wu Huan to open up to him. “You are Wu Tang's son? How is that possible? Does that mean that your sister is alive too?” Zhou Dong asked. “Why? Are you suprised? I was there that day. The day that the late emperor sent men to come after my mother who was pregnant. If it wasn't for the timely intervention of my nanny, my mother would have died with my sister. All the servants that we helped to run away from the manor just before Ying Fu entered to arrest my father. They were the ones we lived with until my mother gave birth. Then you. You occupied my house. You moved in with your wicked wife and you claimed it as your own. You sat on a high seat of power for a long time. Forgetting the dark memories of your past.” Wu Huan said. “I nev
Wu Huan continued to run with Dai Chan holding her hand as the both of them ran leaving the palace. Song Huo's men were almost everywhere. Although it was hard for them, they had no choice but to continue running. Sneaking behind one of the men, Wu Huan hit the man's neck from behind watching as he fell to the ground. Glancing around, Wu Huan saw that there was no one else. “Let's go. Don't be afraid. I will take care of you and your baby." Wu Huan said to Dai Chan who smiled as she saw how much Wu Huan still loved her. Song Huo woke up later on and wanted to stand up when he remembered everything that had happened. Wu Huan had left with his sister. “Your Majesty, please rest." Song Huo heard the physician's voice telling him that someone was in the room with him. “How dare you tell what I can and cannot do? Who are you?” Song Huo asked as he put on his dress standing up. “You fainted earlier. I was called from the capital.” Song Huo heard the physician say. “Let me inside! I
Yin Xue Yue started laughing as he heard what Zhi Hao asked. Looking to his side, Yin Xue Yue signaled the door where the others were being held. Following Yin Xue Yue's gaze, Zhi Hao shook his head showing that he didn't care about them. “You. Why was I even expecting you to be a decent human?” Yin Xue Yue asked sneering at Zhi Hao. “You got it right. Since you people were already bound when I came in, you can not blame me. I am just going to do what our master told us. I am going to take advantage of the situation that is already before me." Zhi Hao said. " You want to use us to get to Wu Huan?” Yin Xue Yue asked. “Wu Huan? What happened to you calling him Brother Wu? He's no longer the great leader that you respected?” Zhi Hao asked. Meanwhile Shao Wen, Xiang Jun and Nan Cheng who were tied inside listened to everything that Zhi Hao was saying. Everything had been too sudden so they had not had time to plan against the people that had come against them. Their master who had le
The next day, Zhao Yao got up early waiting for the maids to arrive. She had not been able to sleep all through the night as she thought of a way to save Wu Huan. She had not been Song Huo's wife for long but she knew Song Huo was obsessed with his sister. As long as Wu Huan stayed with Dai Chan, there was no way Song Huo would allow Wu Huan to leave Zhou. “Your Highness." Zhao Yao heard someone say as the person knocked on the door. “You can come in." Zhao Yao said watching as the door opened. Watching the maids walk in, Zhao Yao climbed out of her bed stretching her arms as they started to dress her up. When she was finally done, Zhao Yao walked out of her room spotting more guards as she walked down the palace hallway with her maid. Suddenly, Zhao Yao stopped as she saw her maid cleaning the windows. “Stop. What is happening?” Zhao Yao asked as she looked at the maid which she had brought from Zhou cleaning the windows. “His Majesty asked us to send her to another palace to wo
