Zhao Yao arrived at the palace early in the morning and had already changed her clothes. It was the perfect time when maids from outside entered the palace. Taking a spot in the line with her maid, Zhao Yao crossed her two middle fingers while looking around to make sure no one at all was around watching her. The line moved slowly as the guards searched through the things the servants brought into the palace thus making time fly even faster. Glancing at her maid, Zhao Yao signaled her mkad watching as her maid nodded her head before heading to the front to talk to one of the soliders.

This had been what she wanted to avoid in the first place but since she had no choice, she had to make her maid bribe one of the guards. As long as none of the spies working for Song Huo and Dai Chan, Zhao Yao knew she could be safe. Watching as her maid gave the guard a square of gold, Zhao Yao sighed in relief as her maid signaled her to come to meet her. This was how she was able to finally pass by.

    Wu Huan came out of the house while going to look for Yin Xue Yue. He had received information from Shao Wen that someone spotted Yin Xue Yue in a restaurant in Chu. Reaching the restaurant, Wu Huan realized the door of the restaurant had been closed and there was someone standing outside the door. Wu Huan saw the place and immediately became suspicious. “Excuse me. I thought this place was a restaurant. Isn't it a restaurant?" Wu Huan asked pretending to be lost. 'Sorry. The restaurant is currently closed right now. You can go to the one across over there.” Wu Huan heard the man say. Wu Huan looked over at the place where the man was pointing at and saw that the place was open. Not only was it open but there were people coming in and out of it. Nodding his head at the man standing in front of the door, Wu Huan smiled heading to where the man had directed him to. Entering inside, Wu Huan went straight to one of the restaurant attendants and bent down whispering something in his ear

    Song Huo glanced at Wu Huan knowing that he didn't need to answer that. Shao Wen had told him everything yesterday yet he didn't want to implicate Shao Wen. “I don't need to ask. I never told you that you couldn't come to visit Chu if you wanted. Your junior sister is my Empress. You have every right to come and see your sister if you want to. However I have to tell you now that your sister isn't in Chu. She went to pray at the temple a d won't be back for a long time.” Song Huo said. “Why?" Wu Huan asked. ." Zhao Yao is just performing her duty as the Empress of Chu. She went to pray for the welfare of Huanxing. Huanxing is Sister Dai's son. You must have met them considering how much you drank.” Song Huo said making Wu Huan's eyes go wide. “What exactly did I say yesterday?” Wu Huan asked as he covered his mouth with one hand while looking at Song Huo. “You still have not fixed your bad habit of telling the truth when you are drunk. You already know you should not be drinking w

    While Zhao Yao and the head of the crime department talked inside, Dai Chan stood outside gazing into the lotus pond in front of her. Dai Chan's personal maid immediately knew what her mistress was thinking. Her mistress had raised Zhao Yao and taken care of her as if Zhao Yao had been her own child. Because of Zhao Yao, Dai Chan had even knelt down to beg the late Empress Dowager who had always been mean to her. Yet, Zhao Yao was behaving stubbornly and didn't hesitate to always be rude to her mistress whenever she saw her. “Your Highness, what are you thinking?” Dai Chan's personal maid asked feeling sad for her mistress who had only had good intentions for Zhao Yao since the day she found her. “What do you think they are talking about? Her heart is constantly worried and I don't know what to do at all." Dai Chan said sighing. " Your Highness, please let your heart be at ease. Even though the relationship between you and Zhao Yao are not on good terms right now, you should have f

    Meanwhile, the head of the crime department rode around looking for a place to stay. He had already promised Zhao Yao that he would stay by her side in order to protect her. However, he couldn't stay at the temple because it was a temple meant for only the royal family. After riding his horse around for a few minutes looking while looking for an inn to stay, the head of the crime department stopped in the middle of the woods and brought out his wooden bottle to drink some water. It was then that he realized. The middle of the woods has always been a perfect place for one to cultivate. This was because it was always extremely quiet and calm. Unless an assassin was very silent and skilled, it was very easy to be able to spot them. Stopping in the middle of the woods, the head of the crime department closed his eyes. His eyes were useless to him anyway since it was night already. Closing his eyes, the head of the crime department used his ears instead. Dai Chan's personal maid stopped

    Dai Chan's personal maid saw the sword coming and tried to dodging it however, it had been a ploy the head of the crime department had made in order to distract her while he threw a set of pins at her. Dai Chan's personal maid saw the pins on time and dodged most of them but still, one of them hit her piercing through her skin and making her yell in pain. “Do you think it's that easy for you to actually defeat me?" The head of the crime department asked as he went forward to Dai Chan's personal maid to try and remove her mask. He needed to know if she was truly someone he had seen by Zhi Hao's side. Even though Zhi Hao had become even more powerful since he had become the prime minister, the head of the crime department was sure he knew everyone that passed the training to become a solider or was recruited to stay by Zhi Hao's side. While she watched him come closer, Dai Chan's personal maid slowly reached down to pick the sword that Zhi Hao had thrown at her before. When Zhi Hao w

    Dai Chan's personal maid arrived walking slowly to the temple. At first, she had thought that there had been nothing wrong with the golden needles. However, as she rode her horse back to the temple, she realized that her body was suddenly so sore. Stopping her horse at the back gate of the temple, Dai Chan's personal maid climbed down slowly walking to the back gate. After walking there, Dai Chan's personal maid checked the back gate and realized that the gate had been locked. She was dressed in black and was currently injured. If she was seen by anyone at this moment, it would raise an alarm and Zhao Yao would find out that she had left the palace. Meanwhile, Dai Chan was in her room waiting for her personal maid. She had sent her to watch the head of the crime department but she had not been at peace since that time. Standing up, Dai Chan got ready to go out and search for her maid when she saw the door open. Standing in shock, Dai Chan watched as her maid entered inside staggering

    Meanwhile, Wu Huan set out of Chu at the slightest ray of the sun early in the morning. Apart from the failed clues he had gotten, Wu Huan was sure that there was one other person who might know where Yin Xue Yue was. He had left immediately before Shao Wen, Xiang Jun or Nan Cheng could wake up. By the time they woke up and realized that Wu Huan wasn't there, they all panicked searching the entire manor until they finally found a note from Wu Huan where he told them where he was going. Riding until he got to the East border where they had grown up, Wu Huan reached the gate of the border village and stopped watching as the gate opened. Unlike what others might think, they didn't have any friends or people they might know at the village where they had grew up. This was because they had always been locked at the training camp and they never even knew that people snuck in and night to clean the place until they had grown up. Wu Huan knew that the people must have been worried. What type

    While they all continued to wait for the soliders Song Huo had sent to bring back the ledgers, Song Huo could all of them panic right in front of him. Thanks to Fan Kang's idea, he had been able to catch them off guard. Now they looked like they were about to pee on their bodies as they gossiped between one another trying to find a solution. In order to stop them, Song Huo had kept them all inside with him and stopped anyone from coming near the building. Several minutes later, Song Huo glanced outside as he saw Shao Wen signal him that everything was done. Turning back to his ministers, Song Huo looked at their faces carefully. Those who were panicking openly would end up being the ones with the least crimes as they were just afraid of being punished while those who kept a straight face without showing any emotions were the hardcore criminals. “Open the door." Song Huo said making all the officials turn to look at the door as it opened. “Your Majesty, what's the meaning of this?"

Nevertheless, she left him a perfect gift. Her son. Wu Huan didn't mind who was Huanxing's father. To him, he was his son and he would take care of him as long as he was alive.

    Hearing Nan Cheng talk, Han Ying became even more nervous. The more Nan Cheng talked, the more he was revealing too many things. Things that she didn't want the world to know. Signaling a guard with her hand behind her back, Han Ying collected his sword. Tightening her hand around the sword, Han Ying threw the sword aiming for Nan Cheng. The rest members of Liming gasped in shock as they saw me that Nan Cheng was about to be killed. Luckily, Nan Cheng has seen it coming and jumped up into the air to avoid the sword. Even when she saw that she had failed, Han Ying didn't stop. “Kill him. Make sure you kill him!" Han Ying said exposing herself while Han Ling remained calm. The royal guards that she had come with, immediately brought out their arrows showing their true intentions. Wu Huan saw the arrows being fired at Nan Cheng and immediately went to block it for him. The two of them blocked all the arrows watching it fall to the ground. But the more they blocked the arrows fired at

    “What? What did you say? Wu Huan is holding Duke Chengzhou hostage for his deed?” Han Ying asked as she stood up. 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. Few minutes later, they all arrived at Duke Chengzhou's manor where Wu Huan was still holding Duke Chengzhou hostage. He had alreadygotten the deed and was coming out of the manor when Han Ying's carriage stopped iln front. Holding her maid's hand, Han Ying came down and Han Ling followed. “Wu Huan." Wu Huan heard his name and stopped watching as the royal guards that had followed Han Ying rounded him. “Wu Huan. Stop this madness immediately and drop the deed.

    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. 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. 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

    Few minutes later, Song Huo woke up with blurry vision as he opened his eyes for the first time. 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
