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."

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

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.

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.

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.

" 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."

Staring at her toys, Han Ling heard everything yet she didn't say anything and continued to play with her toys as if she wasn't concerned. “Has he gone mad? Let's go immediately." Han Ying said about to leave but stopped when she realized that her daughter was not with her. Turning back, Han Ying signaled her daughter to get in line and Han Ling stood up obeying immediately.

FINAL REVELATION (3)
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

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. As I have heard, the pr

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.

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.

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
