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.

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.

    “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

Zhi Hao arrived at the capital seeing everything was silent at the capital gate. Although the gate was open, there was no one at the gate. Raising his hand, Zhi Hao stopped the men that were coming behind him. “What happened here?” Zhi Hao asked. Duke Fenghao entered inside along with the head of the crime department looking around the gate to see what was happening. Looking around, Zhi Hao sighed. “Something happened here. We should be careful. It might be a trap." The head of the crime department said. All of them entered inside walking in slowly. The entire capital already looked deserted because most people already saw that there was going to be a war soon. Wu Huan woke up after a few minutes and finally, he remembered everything. Looking around, Wu Huan blinked twice looking around before seeing

    Zhou Dong's eyes narrowed as he heard what Wu Huan said. It was unbelievable even though everything seemed to have fit completely. When Zhou Dong had first met Wu Huan, Wu Huan had been very hostile to him at a young age. It has taken a long time to get Wu Huan to open up to him. “You are Wu Tang's son? How is that possible? Does that mean that your sister is alive too?” Zhou Dong asked. “Why? Are you suprised? I was there that day. The day that the late emperor sent men to come after my mother who was pregnant. If it wasn't for the timely intervention of my nanny, my mother would have died with my sister. All the servants that we helped to run away from the manor just before Ying Fu entered to arrest my father. They were the ones we lived with until my mother gave birth. Then you. You occupied my house. You moved in with your wicked wife and you claimed it as your own. You sat on a high seat of power for a long time. Forgetting the dark memories of your past.” Wu Huan said. “I nev

    Wu Huan continued to run with Dai Chan holding her hand as the both of them ran leaving the palace. Song Huo's men were almost everywhere. Although it was hard for them, they had no choice but to continue running. Sneaking behind one of the men, Wu Huan hit the man's neck from behind watching as he fell to the ground. Glancing around, Wu Huan saw that there was no one else. “Let's go. Don't be afraid. I will take care of you and your baby." Wu Huan said to Dai Chan who smiled as she saw how much Wu Huan still loved her. Song Huo woke up later on and wanted to stand up when he remembered everything that had happened. Wu Huan had left with his sister. “Your Majesty, please rest." Song Huo heard the physician's voice telling him that someone was in the room with him. “How dare you tell what I can and cannot do? Who are you?” Song Huo asked as he put on his dress standing up. “You fainted earlier. I was called from the capital.” Song Huo heard the physician say. “Let me inside! I

    Yin Xue Yue started laughing as he heard what Zhi Hao asked. Looking to his side, Yin Xue Yue signaled the door where the others were being held. Following Yin Xue Yue's gaze, Zhi Hao shook his head showing that he didn't care about them. “You. Why was I even expecting you to be a decent human?” Yin Xue Yue asked sneering at Zhi Hao. “You got it right. Since you people were already bound when I came in, you can not blame me. I am just going to do what our master told us. I am going to take advantage of the situation that is already before me." Zhi Hao said. " You want to use us to get to Wu Huan?” Yin Xue Yue asked. “Wu Huan? What happened to you calling him Brother Wu? He's no longer the great leader that you respected?” Zhi Hao asked. Meanwhile Shao Wen, Xiang Jun and Nan Cheng who were tied inside listened to everything that Zhi Hao was saying. Everything had been too sudden so they had not had time to plan against the people that had come against them. Their master who had le

    The next day, Zhao Yao got up early waiting for the maids to arrive. She had not been able to sleep all through the night as she thought of a way to save Wu Huan. She had not been Song Huo's wife for long but she knew Song Huo was obsessed with his sister. As long as Wu Huan stayed with Dai Chan, there was no way Song Huo would allow Wu Huan to leave Zhou. “Your Highness." Zhao Yao heard someone say as the person knocked on the door. “You can come in." Zhao Yao said watching as the door opened. Watching the maids walk in, Zhao Yao climbed out of her bed stretching her arms as they started to dress her up. When she was finally done, Zhao Yao walked out of her room spotting more guards as she walked down the palace hallway with her maid. Suddenly, Zhao Yao stopped as she saw her maid cleaning the windows. “Stop. What is happening?” Zhao Yao asked as she looked at the maid which she had brought from Zhou cleaning the windows. “His Majesty asked us to send her to another palace to wo

    Wu Huan laughed as he sat down placing his hand on the table. They wanted him to save the same person that had fooled him. Although he couldn't blame Zhi Hao. He had done the same thing and even wanted to take his place. It was all because he couldn't remember what had happened before. “Im not going back to that palace anymore. What happens to them is none of my business." Wu Huan said crossing his arms together. “None of your business? I thought that Zhi Hao had been your friend. Are you going to allow him to get into trouble? What of Han Ling? Han Ling is still in Song Huo's hands. That's what he's using to threaten Zhi Hao." The head of the crime department said. “No one forced them to rebel. That was all their doing. You can just call it karma." Wu Huan said. " Karma? Wu Huan. I thought you wanted justice. Do you know what justice means? Punishing everyone without having any bias. Since you forced the late emperor to his death, you can no longer stop in your quest for revenge.

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

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

    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
