Leaving with her maid, Dai Chan arrived at the emperor's palace where they were holding the wedding. All the officials from both Zhou and Chu had arrived for the wedding had were busy flocking round the crown prince and the emperor. This was what Dai Chan was afraid of. She and her brother were the children of the one and only empress of Chu. Her parents may not have been close but they had taken care of them very well. The problem was the concubines.

“Congratulations." Dai Chan heard the officials from Chu say to her brother as they drank wine together.

    Zhao Yao heard what Han Ying said and raised her head only to see everyone looking at her. Looking at Dai Chan, Zhao Yao saw her shake her head telling her to stop crying. “What are you talking about? I am just emotional because my wedding was almost ruined." Zhao Yao said. " It's okay, darling. Everything has been settled now. Your Majesty, may we continue?” The crown prince of Chu asked. “Of course. Let's continue.”Xing Ming said. Servants gathered round Zhao Yao helping her to put on back her veil and doing her make-up briefly. After doing everything, one of the servants stayed to help Zhao Yao turn around. “Bow to each other! May your marriage be blessed with lots of children." Dai Chan sighed as she saw her brother and Zhao Yao bow to each other. Things had gone well after everything. Watching the both of them bow to each other, Dai Chan felt Xing Ming take her hand taking her to where the couple was. The crown prince of Chu and Zhao Yao each took one side of the long red r

    “What do you think you are doing? Do you want to be sold?!” Yu Bai asked the girls laughing watching as they disappeared one by one. Stomping her leg angrily, Yu Bai went back inside. Nan Cheng left the brothel and sighed as his plan had worked successfully. Looking back at the brothel, Nan Cheng couldn't help but think about what Yu Bai had said. Wu Huan had also been at the brothel to search for his true identity. Did his father also know about this? “No matter what, I won't be the one to expose you. Thanks to you, I've been able to live longer, Brother Wu. That means, Yu Bai has to die." Nan Cheng said talking to himself as he stared at the brothel. Meanwhile, Wu Huan returned back to the manor disheartened as he entered with Zhi Hao. No matter how Zhi Hao tried to comfort him and no matter how Zhi Hao tried to apologize, Wu Huan couldn't help but feel very sad. Zhao Yao had said. She wasn't his sister. If she wasn't his sister then, where was his sister? If Master Ye hadn't fo

    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

    (Two years later)Wu Huan walked across the palace with his entourage following him as he entered into the court room.

Opening the door, Wu Huan was suprised as he saw greeted with someone running to meet him. “Your Majesty." Wu Huan heard his wife say and nodded his head at her too. “Royal father." Wu Huan heard Huanxing say and smiled. Day by day, Huanxing resembled the woman he had loved to the ending. The fact that he wasn't at her side at her last ending was forever a big regret to him. 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. Few months later, Wu Huan left the palace and arrived last on the mountains. All the other members of Liming were already there wi

    THE END

    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. You have finally exposed yourself in

    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
