By the time the other servants were through with the shopping, Wu Huan had changed into one of the servant's clothes. Leaving with them, Wu Huan looked back at the shop were he had left the other servant. Wu Huan reached Duke Kaifeng's manor and saw that the guards were asking for the servant's badges. Wu Huan sighed happy that he had collected everything that he needed from the servant. Showing his badge, Wu Huan entered the manor following the servants to drop the clothes they had bought. After dropping the clothes, Wu Huan left immediately in order not to be recognized by the other servants. Moving around the manor, Wu Huan looked around hoping that he could find something. He would have to stay in the manor for a couple of more days in order to investigate as Xing Ming had asked. Zhi Hao returned back to the manor and saw the rest members of Liming. Glancing around, Zhi Hao immediately noticed that Wu Huan was missing. He always had a bad feeling whenever Wu Huan was sent on a s
Zhao Yao continued to wait for Song Huo to tell her the truth. She knew that he was hiding the truth from her. “ Han Ying's family, Duke Kaifeng and his generals. They are planning to rebel against Xing Ming.” Song Huo said. “What? They are planning to what?” Zhao Yao asked in shock as she stood up. “Yes. They are planning to rebel and they want me to help them. I met up with them and told them that I would think about it. Actually, I am planning on helping them." Zhao Yao heard Song Huo say. “You are planning to help them? Do you have any idea what would happen? Have you told Dai Chan?” Zhao Yao asked panicking and Song Huo noticed it. They were really siblings indeed. Zhao Yao and Wu Huan. They panicked whenever they became nervous about something. “Calm down." Song Huo said putting his two hands on her shoulders as he came close to her. Zhao Yao stopped staring at Song Huo as she watched him stare into her eyes. Knowing that he was affecting her, Zhao Yao moved back clearing
Nan Cheng looked at Wu Huan from the side watching as Wu Huan slowly started to become nervous. Being the son of their master, Nan Cheng was often aware of everything that happened as long as his father knew. Taking a step back, Nan Cheng moved forward making sure his footsteps were being loud enough to be heard. Pretending to only get there then, Nan Cheng smiled turning to Wu Huan. “Brother Wu, here is your wonton noddles. There wasn't much left in the pot. I think everyone must have enjoyed it so much.” Nan Cheng said putting on the most innocent smile ever seen. Wu Huan's body became stiff as Wu Huan tried to avoid eye contact with Zhi Hao. Although Zhi Hao had not noticed it before, he suddenly became suspicious when he saw Wu Huan's expression. “We always enjoy Xiang Jun's cooking, don't we? I will just carry this and eat in my room." Wu Huan said smiling nervously as he carried the bowl of wonton noddles in his hand before leaving. Watching Wu Huan, Nan Cheng sighed trying
Han Ying's eyes widened and the pot of tea fell from her hand as she heard her father say those words. Brother? Looking at her father's expression, Han Ying realized that she had spilled tea all over the ground. “Sorry. I was...." Han Ying said trying to find an excuse as to why the pot of tea fell from her hand. “What is wrong Han Ying?” Duke Kaifeng asked not believing what she was saying. Han Ying went to the door opening it to see the person she had seen before but Wu Huan was already gone. She had not wanted to disclose anything to her father yet because it had been Zhi Hao's wishes. Now, her husband had sent someone to pretend as her brother. His motive was obvious. To keep an eye on them. But why? Did Xing Ming have an idea about their plans? “What is wrong? Is there something you are hiding from me?” Duke Kaifeng asked. “I just wanted to see Zhi Hao. He isn't here. Where did he go to?” Han Ying asked feigning ignorance. “Forget it. We are not yet sure if he is truly her
The high priest felt his body began to go stiff but tried not to show it in front of Duke Fenghao. Duke Fenghao continued to laugh knowing that the fact that he was alive sacred the high priest. “What are you doing? Do you think you will be able to harm me?" The high priest asked trying to sound tough. “Do you think I want to harm you right now? You and I, we both have our scores to settle however, it won't be now. Get ready. After Xing Ming, you are next." Duke Fenghao said before his water image faded away letting the water fall to the ground. Wu Huan continued to watch everything hiding from a safe distance. He had finally found where Duke Fenghao was however, he couldn't do anything about it. Duke Fenghao was too powerful for him. The best thing was to report back to His Majesty. Once Duke Fenghao was taken out of the picture, Duke Kaifeng's rebellion would be like an army without a commander. Turning around slowly, Wu Huan left without knowing that Duke Fenghao had been looki
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
