Dai Chan and Song Huo were just arriving back from the Lim manor when they saw one of Xing Ming's eunuch taking Zhao Yao away. Dai Chan steppedup to stop the eunuch when Song Huo stopped her. “What are you doing?” Song Huo asked looking at Dai Chan. “Where are they taking her to? Do you think that Xing Ming has discovered that we are siblings?” Dai Chan asked. “What do you mean? Did you tell him? I didn't. And none of the people nor the envoys around us will dare to spill such a secret. They have kept it well so far." Song Huo said. " I may have just been too anxious.” Dai Chan said. “My best guess is that Xing Ming wants to talk to her. Sister, even if you receive any news of me being attacked, don't do anything." Song Huo warned Dai Chan. " Do you think that's why Xing Ming is calling her? Zhao Yao will never harm you. Don't worry.” Dai Chan said. “I know she won't. The people I am talking about is Liming. I am sure that by now, theg must have received their next mission.” So
“I… .” Zhao Yao said. “I…” Song Huo said at the same time. Silence filled the carriage again as they went. Looking at Zhao Yao, Song Huo opened his mouth wanting to speak again. Dai Chan was right. He had married her without understanding what she wanted. Now that he had married her, there was no turning back. “Did you have a lover before? I know it is selfish of me to ask this now. I just didn't think of it before.” Song Huo said. “You have been in Zhou for so long, you must have heard some rumors. Why are you pretending not to know?” Zhao Yao asked as she turned her face away. “I… I have been in Zhou but as you know, I was with Liming. We had trained at the boarder before we came to the capital. When we arrived at the capital, there were a lot of other things that needed my focus.” Song Huo said turning his face as he felt guilty. “Then why did you marry me? Just so that you can take me from Zhou? I already knew that you and Sister Dai had planned this together. Do you know w
“It's all because of the late emperor. Do you think I care about if anyone calls me an imposter? I don't want the name of the late emperor to be ruined." Xing Ming said gritting his teeth as he said it. “Do you really care about the late emperor so much? Have you forgotten that he almost dethroned you because he was jealous that you might be greater than him? How could you have forgotten everything?” The Empress Dowager asked. “No matter what he did to me back then, I can never blame him. How can I point fingers at him after what you did? Get out. Get out!” Xing Ming shouted at the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager sighed looking at Xing Ming sadly before leaving. Leaving Xing Ming's palace, the Empress Dowager stopped standing in shock as she saw Zhou Dong standing outside. “What are you doing here?” The Empress Dowager asked. “You should stop blaming yourself. It's never a crime to love." Zhou Dong said before higging the Empress Dowager. Meanwhile, Xing Ming stood outside
Wu Huan open his eyes slowly watching as the girl from the brothel undressed wanting to lie in bed with him. Glancing at the head of the crime department, Wu Huan watched as the head of the crime department signaled him to stay still. Turning to look back, Wu Tang closed his eyes immediately after seeing that she was already naked. Going stiff, Wu Huan closed his eyes and felt the girl already attempting to remove his clothes. Closing his eyes tightly, Wu Huan felt as the girl tried to untie the rope of his trousers. Remembering how it may affect the group if she came to claim rights over him, Wu Huan stood up stopping her as she attempted to remove his robe. “Young Master." Wu Huan heard the girl say as her hands shook out of fear. “What were you doing? Are you supposed to be here? “ Wu Huan asked. “Young master. I didn't mean to….” The girl said shaking as the door suddenly opened. A girl that Wu Huan didn't recognize entered the room carrying some drinks and snacks on a tray.
While Han Ying paid her respect to Duke Kaifeng, Zhi Hao watched from the corner. He couldn't even pay respect to his father and that made him even more angrier. Clenching his hand, Zhi Hao continued to look as his father helped Han Ying up and laughed with her. All these years, he had been deprived all these happy and joyous moments while suffering and taking beatens. He wanted revenge. To see Xing Ming fall because he was the reason why he had suffered. He had neglected his sister, allowed her to be mocked by others. “Zhou Xing Ming." Zhi Hao said as he tightened his hand. Han Ying laughed and talked with her father. Raising her gaze, Han Ying spotted Zhi Hao standing by the corner. Judging by the fact that he had not moved, Han Ying guessed it was because he was lost in thought. “What is it, Ying'er? You are not listening to me at all." Duke Kaifeng said complaining as he turned to look back. Knowing that he would spot Zhi Hao, Han Ying stopped him by putting a hand on his shou
Wu Huan removed his hand from Dai Chan's when he heard her ask the question. It was truly hard to believe at this moment. How he had ever fallen in love with such a scheming person like Dai Chan? “It was Zhao Yao herself. Why? Do you want to deny it?" Wu Huan asked. " Zhao Yao told you? When?” Dai Chan asked again. “It's none of your business who told me. Just make sure that you and that sister of mine. The both of you should stay very far away from me.” Wu Huan said leaving “ Wu Huan. Wu Huan.” Dai Chan called Wu Huan but he had already left.Back in Duke Kaifeng's manor, all the officials gathered to welcome Duke Kaifeng. Duke Kaifeng and Han Ying stood at the door welcoming guests in. Han Ying then looked at where Zhi Hao had been standing and saw that he was no longer there. She had seen him there earlier and felt very bad for him.“Finally. You are back in the capital once again." Han Ying heard someone say making her turn around. Turning around, Han Ying watched as Zhou Don
Zhao Yao kept her head bowed down even though she had her own suspicions since she didn't see the Emperor of Chu there. Glancing at Song Huo, Zhao Yao raised her eyebrows looking at him in question. “You can stand up now." Zhao Yao heard Song Huo say and put on a smile as she lifted her head. “Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Yao said happy to have dodged the bullet. Before she turned around, Zhao Yao looked at the room behind the Emperor's seat. The Emperor of Chu was not sitting on his chair and Zhao Yao remebered Song Huo telling her clearly that his father was sick. Was it possible that he was lying down inside? Heading to where Song Huo was, Zhao Yao watched as Song Huo stood up to hold her hand. “Have a seat." Zhao Yao watched Song Huo say with a smile on his face. Taking her seat, Zhao Yao looked around watching everyone look at the both of them. The officials seemed to be happy telling from the look on their faces but however, the princesses didn't look so happy. “Everyon
After watching them leave, the grandson of Duke Fenghao came out of the prison revealing himself. Looking around, he quickly thought of a way to make it look like it had been a forceful breakout. Suddenly, his eyes spotted a jar of oil pilled by the corner of the dungeon. Smiling to himself, he went ahead and opened all the jars before throwing the fire stick he was holding. The entirely place went up in flames. The other guards and detectives at the crime department saw the fire at the prison and came rushing immediately. “Greetings Leader.” The guards said to the head of the crime department. Yes. He was Fenghao's grandson. Looking at the guards, the head of the crime department widened his eyes pretending to be in shock. “Go and get people to stop the fire.” The leader of the crime department said pretending to be on shock. Everyone worked hard together and the servants in the crime department came in and left immediately. While the fire continued to burn despite their efforts
