“Today is the dragon boat festival. I wanted to bring some offerings to heaven. So, I came." Xing Ming said sitting down .

" The capital is very lively. There must be a lot to celebrate about.” The old man said.

“You can say that. I was happy before. Now, I am not." Xing Ming said.

Just the way the palace was, the prime minister's manor was also the same. The manor was silent with no one celebrating. The dragon boat festival. Chen Wu Ying sat outside looking into the pond in front of him. The manor seemed to have died when they lost Wu Huan. Prime minister Zhou had taken care of him but there were some things that changed.

“Damn you, Wu Huan!” Chen Wu Ying said throwing a pebble into the pond.

What are you doing?” Chen Wu Ying heard Zhou Dong ask making him nervous as he stood up.

“Nothing. I was just sitting down here.” Chen Wu Ying said.

“Do you know what today is?” Zhou Dong asked.

    “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.

    “What? What did you say? Wu Huan is holding Duke Chengzhou hostage for his deed?” Han Ying asked as she stood up.

    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.

    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

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
