Staring at the manor he had just come out of, Wu Huan got lost in thought. How was he supposed to tell Zhi Hao the truth? At first their relationship seemed wrong because she was the empress. Now, she was his sister. Sighing to himself, Wu Huan returned back to the manor only to see Xiang Jun alone in the manor. “Where is Zhi Hao?” Wu Huan asked as he entered looking around. “Brother Zhi? He isn't here. Why? Are you looking for him? I can go and get him.” Xiang Jun said standing up. “No need. I was just asking.” Wu Huan said nervously as he turned back to look at the gate. “You look pale, brother Wu. Is there a problem?” Xiang Jun asked making Wu Huan turn around. “Is Brother Song here?" Wu Huan asked. " Brother Song? Yes. He is in his room.” Xiang Jun said watching as Wu Huan passed him heading to Song and Yin Xue Yue's courtyard. Meanwhile, Song Huo was in his room sitting down. It was rare for him to be at home instead of going to the brothel. Their master had not come to g
Zhao Yao looked at Dai Chan as she said those words knowing they carried a great meaning behind them. They had been together for a long time. Although she didn't agree with some of the things Dai Chan did, she knew that they still reached the same goals. What she was in doubt of, was if Dai Chan knew she was in love with Xing Ming. “What happens when I leave for Chu? Will you continue our revenge as you planned?” Zhao Yao asked. “What do you mean?” Dai Chan asked gazing at Zhao Yao. Dai Chan knew everything. The question couldn't be more clearer than the morning sun. Looking back at her maid, Dai Chan signaled her maid to go and watch around while they talked. “You are the elder princess of Chu. You came to Zhou for the crown prince. You must have known the type of person Xing Ming was. If not, you wouldn't have come here. So many years have passed. Twelve years to be exact. It's a long time to form a bond.” Zhao Yao said. “Are you saying that my sister will betray her country in
The entire palace became full and many people came for the wedding. Dai Chan who was with Zhao Yao, had no choice but to leave her after her maid had come searching for her. 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. Catching her brother's gaze, Dai Chan signaled him not to drink too much. Even though she didn't know her brother's reasons for marrying Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao was going to be his wife. Her brother had no choice but to take care of her till the day he dies. The crow
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
