The Dragon Heroes and the Princess The Civil Palace
One of the reasons why until now there had been no large-scale rebellion against the Empress over the Emperor's death in the palace was—that the support of the people who believed in the Empress had been planted many years ago. In fact, if Guo Fen could say, maybe before the Empress really was still the Crown Princess.How about the connections and communications that the Empress had from long ago—has been tightly held by the people. One of the strengths of the Empress that the Emperor does not have is; Civil Palace.The large and spacious building with official quarters was not far from Li Ming Palace's residence, being one of the places where the people could communicate directly with the Empress. The Empress heard and saw the voices of the people. With the help of the military, she allowed the Civil Palace in the center of the city to become a public area for every citizen to preserve the culture of the Li Dynasty.In the past, when Guo Fen was still a child, several uncles and aun
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess The Magical Thing
General Tang turned out to be not far from the small stage where two jars full of rolls of people's letters were located. Between the stage are two small lanterns to light up a dark corner. The windows and doors of the Civil Palace hall were tightly closed. Only the wide main door at the front of the terrace was opened. Wooden pillars are spaced every two meters. The wooden floor creaked softly as Guo Fen stepped every inch of it.He approached General Tang who was unrolling one of the scrolls in his hand. His lips curved into a slight smile.“General,” Guo Fen called quietly. General Tang was still reading, for a moment he rolled up the letter again and placed it on top of the jug which was full to the brim.There is one wide table in the center of the pulpit. Stand between the two pitchers of thanksgiving and the pitcher of advice. Blank papers piled neatly in the middle, accompanied by a brush and black ink for writing.“Did you know about this before entering the palace?” Gene
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess The Day-1
In fact, were it not for ego, General Tang would probably be the person Guo Fen could trust the most until now. The first time when Guo Fen stepped into the palace, he was immediately handed over to General Tang and General Tang ordered Guo Fen to demonstrate his ability to fight against a wild lion.At that time, Guo Fen, who had just lost his ice knife, could only use a sword that could turn into arrows. He did not display that change in front of General Tang's eyes. So until now, the ice sword had never changed shape because—if everyone saw that magical thing, Guo Fen could be considered a descendant of a warrior.In the Li Ming area, the descendants of warriors have been cleared dozens of years ago. Those with the power of warriors could influence the people not to believe in the palace. Because of that, Guo Fen would rather let people think that he was a martial artist who possessed a rare ice sword.When he defeated the wild lion, General Tang immediately hated Guo Fen and re
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess The Day-2
Guo Fen tucked Rong Mei’s jade into his silver belt then walked out of the room holding a bag filled with some dry buns and underwear. Xiao Ahn should have helped him prepare the horse. Tonight he will leave for En Shu.Walking down the path to the Lao Military Advisors Pavilion, Guo Fen had to report first—at least so that the Empress knew he was gone. Although actually, he did not care whether the Empress needed the report. Because the bottom line was, Guo Fen needed to listen to the Military Advisor's advice while he was away from the palace.“Counsellor Lao,” Guo Fen called entering the Military Advisor Pavilion which was not far from Guo Fen's building. In front of the door of the room, two guards in armor-holding spears were guarded. Guo Fen stepped in without any suspicion.Military Adviser Lao is reading a document on his desk. Two large candles stood at the corners of the table. The lighting in Mister Lao's room was as luxurious as in the Empress's Pavilion. The difference is
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess Undiscovered Plan
Before Xiao Ahn dashed across the rooftops to catch up to Guo Fen who was waiting in front of the palace gate, accidentally, when he was passing through Ming Lao Hall, a group of officers who felt familiar rushed out from the gate. Xiao Ahn stopped and luckily today he was wearing a hood and robe all black, his figure this time looking less like the night sky. While hiding on the edge of the roof ledge, he strained his ear."Do we need to tell General Tang about this plan?" said one of the bodyguards in black armor. There are about three bodyguards. The other two were of medium stature amidst them—which Xiao Ahn assumed, was Bodyguard Yang Huo, a trusted bodyguard of General Tang who served as his bodyguard quite often.The bodyguard carrying a lantern as he descended the steps of Ming Lao Hall gave a flat reply. “Did you hear what the Empress said just now? We must not tell this to anyone, not even General Tang. Yes, right, Brother Yang Huo?”Xiao Ahn's guess was right. He ducked
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess III. Journey to the En Shu City
Guo Fen woke up to the sound of his horse neighing softly. The sun shone hot from between the leaves. He got up from the broad leaf that he made the mat to sleep on. After leaving the palace gate yesterday, Guo Fen had already driven by and passed through two small villages and the bustling downtown of Li Ming.Because he rarely rode, even Guo Fen's waist ached. It's only been a few hours though. He thought that he would arrive in En Shu in five days so that he would be quicker, but in fact, rarely riding a horse could make this small problem. Is it possible that he arrived in En Shu later than one week?"Already up?"The voice felt familiar. Not far from where the horse was harnessed, Guo Fen turned around slightly surprised to find Xiao Ahn standing watering the horse. Guo Fen frowned, then stood up while wiping his buttocks.“Xiao Ahn? What are you doing here?"Without taking his eyes off it, Xiao Ahn had already taken off his black hood and draped it around his neck. His sle
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess Strange Power
“Ah, sorry old man. I was in a hurry—”"HEY! STOP THERE!”Before Guo Fen could act, two palace guards of not very high rank jumped into the tavern. Pointing their swords at the girl. Everyone around the tavern, even the tavern owner also ran away. Only Guo Fen, Xiao Ahn, and the white-haired old man remained. While the girl was cornered, even though her face looked out of wits, she didn't look scared at all."You little swordsman must be caught!"As a young man who is passionate about justice, this should be a chance for Guo Fen to return to the way he used to be. But he couldn't do it. He was on a secret mission and even—no one was allowed to see him fight. If not, there would definitely be imperial guards who would recognize him and Guo Fen would end up being caught up in trivial matters in the city's security center. And he can't get involved in things that don't matter like that. He didn't have time.“I told you I'm just a girl who just learned martial arts. Everything you saw ear
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess Suspicious Magic
Seeing that the noodle shop was doing well, the shop owner immediately came back and only scolded Tao Ling—the dagger girl to clean up the human statue that was falling apart on the floor. Some people who saw Tao Ling's martial arts whispered a little, but they didn't dare to say more. Right now, what Guo Fen understood was that this village seemed to be secretly being watched by bodyguards. In particular, bodyguards from the City Warriors Organization.Halfheartedly, Tao Ling placed two large bowls of plain noodles in front of Guo Fen and Xiao Ahn who had already been waiting."Your order.""Eh..?" Xiao Ahn saw that there was no lamb he asked for earlier. "Where's the lamb?"While Guo Fen without protest started pinching the chopsticks on his finger because he was already starving and started to eat.“That's the price for you guys not being honest. I definitely can't be fooled by this young man's appearance. If it wasn't for the owner of the tavern asking to compensate me for m

The Burning Memories
A few days after Bai Lianhua said her name was Hei Lianhua, she wanted her mother to also pretend to be her aunt. Bai Lianhua carefully tells the plan to uncover Bai Naxing's past through Detective Han Wu. Even though it was several days until the day Bai Naxing would marry the future emperor Li Ming Lao, people were too busy to think about where Bai Naxing had appeared from.No wonder the last time she was about to look for Bai Naxing at the Wine Shop and the Spring Maiden's name Bai Naxing, even her mother—Gao Renwei seemed to have forgotten. It must have been since the day the palace officials came to ask about the betrothal with Bai Naxing, everyone had shut their mouths and eyes. She didn't know how dirty it was, but the evidence that twelve-year-old Bai Naxing had been sold to a brothel couldn't just disappear.Unfortunately, recently, if there were people who spoke ill of the future emperor or empress, they would be immediately executed. Apart from being labeled as disrespec
Black Lotus
“Lianhua,” Yao Yupan called when the girl was staring at the black painting in her room. Bai Lianhua got up from the chair and turned to the doorway where her mother was standing."There's someone who wants to meet you."It must be Detective Han Wu, Bai Lianhua muttered. She didn't say anything and walked past her mother. But just as she was about to take a step, Yao Yupan grabbed her hand.With a worried look, the woman whispered softly, “You're not involved in any trouble, are you? That person seems to be from the palace.”Bai Lianhua's eyes swept across the terrace at the front of the residence. The figure of a large man with broad shoulders and slightly white hair standing back."Take it easy, Mother. I'm not causing any trouble.""You know that person?""Yes. I was the one who invited him here.”"What for?" Yao Yupan grew even more worried. “I know you've been angry with your half-sister, but… you have to listen to what your teacher says. Don't live with grudges."Bai Lianhua was
The Never Ending Feelings
The sound of a burning fire broke the silence of the night. Guo Fen suddenly didn't realize he had been crying. While beside him Rong Mei was silent as if she could feel again the sadness her teacher had felt. In front of him, Bai Lianhua's nearly half-a-century-old face did not change. Guo Fen felt that this woman was almost like the granny lotus in Guo Fen's imagination all along.It's the saddest thing to hear granny lotus doesn't get a happy ending.“Then now, where is granny lotus? Are you looking for her in that palace? Bai Naxing is so ruthless! Besides her daring to kill her own mother—although I'm actually a little happy about that part—she really is a cruel woman! What your father said was right, Bai Naxing has a terrible devil's heart,” exclaimed Guo Fen who suddenly understood the emotion that was evident in every story of Bai Lianhua.As a child who had just escaped from a band of bandits, it turned out that his life was not as bad as Bai Lianhua's. All this time he t
Revenge
As soon as Bai Lianhua came back from the lotus swamp hut, she rushed home hoping to think of a plan to face Bai Naxing. Even though her half-sister was almost as tall as the sky—as she was about to become the future empress, Bai Lianhua didn't care. She must find granny lotus and free her. But before Bai Lianhua's mind cleared of all the tightness in her chest, from the door of her residence, a woman—her neighbor, cried out in panic with wide eyes.“Lianhua! Lianhua! Quickly help your mother! She—she—” With the nervousness that was shouted out like that, it was clear Bai Lianhua's heart was getting restless. She saw that there were several people standing in front of the door of the house. Bai Lianhua pressed in. Her thoughts became increasingly chaotic when she walked to the edge of the room where her father was. As she ran, from the hallway came a woman's voice crying. She knew that voice very well.Suddenly, her heart pounded and her hands clenched into fists. When she reached the
Warrior Organization
That night, after accompanying Bai Junhui to paint for a while in the garden of the village in front of the lake, people passing by were no longer interested in seeing Bai Junhui's work. Whereas in the past, Bai Junhui's ideals were so honorable that he was like a noble who had extraordinary talent. Moreover, now people prefer to forget about Bai Junhui and don't want to get involved in anything. Actually, things weren't that bad, at least Bai Lianhua could focus on monitoring her father.After dinner, Yao Yupan cleaned up the dining area and Bai Junhui helped her for a bit. Although the man's movement was still a little weak, he was able to move more nimbly. Although it is not known whether the effect of the egg of the turtle goddess can completely erase the wound inside Bai Junhui, Bai Lianhua can only hope. Bai Lianhua went to the lotus marsh and gave her the box her father had just given her. She had promised that today she would have to practice some moves under the moonlight.
The Day After
The turtle goddess egg given by Granny Lotus turned out to be very effective. Within a few hours after Bai Junhui consumed it, he was able to sit up and look back at his painting. When Bai Lianhua brought food to the room, she saw her father packing up the painting tools into the basket that he used to bring when he wanted to paint outdoors."Father, where are you going?"Bai Junhui turned his head, he smiled happily. Although his face is still a little pale, he already looks healthier and fitter."I want to go to the park. You want to come?"Bai Lianhua naturally wanted to come along. She and Bai Junhui together went to the park where he had painted Gao Renwei for the first time. Bai Lianhua didn't know this garden had once witnessed Bai Junhui fall to his knees at Gao Renwei's beauty.Painstakingly, Bai Junhui placed a wooden canvas stand in front of the calm waters of the lake while the sunlight gently bathed the vast meadow. From behind him, Bai Lianhua saw her father's weak and s
Turtle Goddes Egg
After that incident, Bai Junhui was busy painting all the time. Even Yao Yupan, who was worried because her ex-husband never ate together again, wondered what was going on. At first Bai Lianhua didn't want to tell, but because it seemed that this matter couldn't be covered up for long either, Bai Lianhua explained everything.“Then… is your father going there?” asked Yao Yupan a little worriedly.Bai Lianhua shook her head hard. “No,” with a heart already burning with hatred because of her half-sister's behavior, let alone coming, just to see her, Bai Lianhua would never allow her father to have any further contact with that demon.“No wonder a few days ago, there was news that King Li Ming Lao would be carrying out a marriage. The celebration was so exciting. At the Civil Palace, several lanterns and decorations have been installed to celebrate the day. Because on the same wedding day, King Li Ming Lao will ascend the throne to become Emperor. But… in that case, it's good for Bai
Sudden Revenge
"Surprised, huh?" she replied softly. On her lips, tugged a sly smile. The scene three years ago—when the girl was still wearing a pink hanfu, walking out of the Wine Shop and the Spring Maiden in Li Ming City's palace market had almost disappeared. Her stature was completely different and it made Bai Lianhua freeze. Inside the house, her father stood with a gloomy face. It was as if he had heard something that Bai Lianhua had missed."What are you doing here?" asked Bai Lianhua straightly.Without answering, Bai Naxing raised a hand, and a maid who had been crouching beside her held out a scroll. Bai Lianhua accepted that and unrolled.It was clearly a wedding invitation. But what took Bai Lianhua by surprise was that the wedding invitation was made very formal and had an imperial seal. Bai Lianhua's eyes almost popped out, she gripped the scroll tightly and then looked at Bai Naxing in front of her. The girl smiled sweetly."You will definitely come, won't you?" she said withou
Surprise
Three years after Bai Lianhua brought Bai Junhui back to Shanyi Village, last night was the point where Bai Lianhua could feel her father was truly back here. Even though his soul was occasionally left in the Li Ming city palace, sometimes he still muttered while painting things that smelled of Gao Renwei, but Bai Lianhua has started to understand little by little how her father let go of his stupidity and a broken heart. Every now and then Bai Lianhua would ask granny lotus about a love affair and why humans would succumb to such things, but then granny lotus would just laugh and say, “You're the only one who seems too smart to be fooled by something called love. You're very ambitious, but you're also naive at times. Feeling disappointed because your father left you first build a stronghold high on your own expectations. Makes you more focused on protecting and protecting people from feelings they might be experiencing as you are experiencing too. It's a virtue that can lead astray, L
