Han Ying had been playing with the other children out in the field so she hadn't noticed when Zhi Hao and his friends passed. After an hour of trying to make the children leave her, Han Ying was finally able to escape. “Your Highness, your hair is all messy." Han Ying heard her personal maid say making her laugh. “I don't mind. It's for the children after all. No need to start redoing my hair. I will just put it up in a simple way. It will take us a lot of time of we are to redo it." Han Ying said putting her hair up in a normal big bun before placing all her hairpins on them. “Your Highness is still very beautiful. This hairstyle seems to fit you more the the formal hairstyle.” Han Ying heard her maids say making her laugh. When she entered inside, Han Ying was still laughing until she entered inside. Seeing Xing Ming introducing some people to the Empress Dowager, Han Ying rushed to go and stay by his side. Only when she got there that she did see Zhi Hao. He was the guy that ha
Song Huo watched Wu Huan scream on the top of his lungs feeling sorry for him. He was the one that had forced Wu Huan. He forgot that things like that shouldn't have been forced. Song Huo took a step forward wanting to go and comfort Wu Huan when he felt a hand on his shoulder stopping him. “Don't do it, Brother Song. Better now or never." Yin Xue Yue said. Song Huo turned looking at Wu Huan seeing how Wu Huan was already crying. This time, he felt Yin Xue Yue was right. These are the things that Wu Huan would have to do sooner or later since he is the team's leader. Glancing at Wu Huan one more time, Song Huo turned round with Yin Xue Yue leaving. While Wu Huan continued crying, the gates of the manor opened and Zhi Hao, Xiang Jun, Shao Wen and Nan Cheng entered. Xiang Jun was the first one to notice Wu Huan crying. Although the place had been dark, Xiang Jun had good eyesights seeing as Wu Huan had tried to quickly wipe his tears away. “Brother Zhi." Xiang Jun said tapping Zhi H
“Your Majesty, don't you think that might have acted rashly this time? The entire capital is now blaming Liming." Master Ye said while Xing Ming continued to paint. Luckily, he had managed to calm down his officials. Them panicking would only cause him stress which was not what he wanted at this moment. “Don't panic too. Their damaged reputation is only for a while. The public are just like dogs. Once they don't have food, they will rebel naturally. Once you feed them, they would start to follow you while wagging their tail. All we need to do is to make them do something that the public will like.” Xing Ming said rolling his eyes before he returned his focus back to his painting. Wu Huan woke up the next day getting of bed. Standing up, Wu Huan held his two hands up stretching. Having some sleep had done him a little bit of good. Of course he wasn't so easy to just forget that you had slaughtered a whole family. During the early hours of the night, the nightmares had haunted him. T
Wu Huan heard what Song Huo had said making him close his eyes. Once again, he had been caught in the middle of Song Huo and Zhi Hao's quarrel. The two of them couldn't stand each other and in the end, he was being forced to choose. He didn't like to always seem partial towards Zhi Hao. So he had tried his best not to be around whenever they fought. His plan had never actually worked. “Instead of trying to find out what doesn't concern you, you should be getting ready to go to the tea house. What? Do you think that because you successfully completed one mission by yourself, you have earned the right to stay at home?” Wu Huan heard his master ask making him turn around. “Yes, Master." Song Huo said glaring at Zhi Hao as he left. “You too. I don't care of you want to burn down the tea house. Go there immediately! And the two of you better not be seen fighting in public. You brothers must show your unity even if you can't stand each other." Master Ye said watching as Song Huo and Zhi
Xing Ming looked at the report from the head of the crime department. The head of the crie department had managed to find all the obvious evidences which made Master Ye worried. “These are nothing. They slaughtered the entire manor. You didn't expect them to start cleaning up the entire manor after killing them, did you? All this isn't what is important. Grand Duke Fenghao sent me a white pigeon while I was with my uncle. I suppose his intention might have been to make my uncle suspicious. Make one of the people from Liming follow him. I want to know what my uncle finds. And don't send Wu Huan. You don't know how surprised I was when I saw Zhi Hao at the palace the other day. I was afraid out of my wits. That Han Ying might recognize her brother.” Xing Ming said . “It's been twelve years. There is no way the Empress would have recognized her brother. Still, its been to be careful. I heard from one of the members of Liming that the prime minister and his son were both taken back when
After seeing Wu Huan leave, Nan Cheng turned looking at Song Huo. Song Huo was also suprised at the way Wu Huan had behaved. It was like he had been pushed past his breaking point. “What is it? What are you looking at?” Song Huo asked intimidating Nan Cheng as he passed. Wu Huan left the tea house sighing as he came out. He had been so angry that he dared to fight with Song Huo. This was why he had always tried to keep his anger in. Looking around, Wu Huan saw the capital streets being busy again. Their manor almost didn't have anything. No maids, no workers and no coachmen. No matter where theh wanted to go, they had to go by foot. “Young master, do you need a ride?" Zhao Yao asked as she looked at Wu Huan. She had been dressed as a coach man in order to come to the tea house. Wu Huan looked her not realizing that she was a woman. “Aren't you here for His Majesty?" Wu Huan asked whispering. " His Majesty? Is His Majesty here?” Wu Huan heard the coachman making him realize how m
Everyone's gaze turned looking as Fenghao's grandson entered. The truth about them had been hidden for a very long time making all of them afraid as they shifted back. Some say he was crazy. Others said that he was a deity. No one really knew the truth about him. “My grandson is here." Fenghao said smiling. " Greetings Your Highness.” They said standing up as he entered. “No need to stand on ceremony. I've been away for a long time. Has anything significant happened in the capital?" Fenghao's grandson asked as he sat down. “Nothing much, Your Highness. The capital is still the same." One of Fenghao's men said smiling as he looked at Fenghao himself. “Still the same? The murder of Count Cao, the planing of rebellion. Were all these things in action before I left?" Fenghao's grandson asked glaring at Fenghao's men. “Okay. Stop being angry with them. They are doing their best. Things would be much easier if your second cousin would just hand over his throne.” Fenghao said as he sip
Dai Chan and Wu Huan stared at each other not knowing that Xing Ming was coming. Zhao Yao had gone to escort the physician so she had no idea. Since they were bringing a man (Wu Huan) into Dai Chan's room, they had dismissed all the maids. Entering inside, Xing Ming walked in seeing Wu Huan and Dai Chan together.“Dai Chan, what is happening here?” Dai Chan heard Xing Ming's voice making her startled.Dai Chan turned around seeing the look on Xing Ming's face. It was obvious that he wasn't happy at all.“Your Majesty, what are you doing here?” Dai Chan asked as she stood up.“What type of a question is that? Do I have no right to come to your room any longer? I should asking you all the questions instead. What is he doing here in your room?”. Xing Ming asked looking at Wu Huan.Wu Huan got up from his bed kneeling down immediately.“Your Majesty, do not misunderstand. He fainted outside my palace so I brought him inside to rest. Zhao Yao even escorted the physician out." Dai Chan said
