CHAPTER 21

On the way home to his room, Xuan Ye was already waiting for Shen Ling's arrival. Xuan Ye's sharp gaze made A Li who was behind Shen Ling frightened, Shen Ling who realized that then told A Li to leave and leave the two of them alone.

"Miss Shen, I'm asking you to reject the emperor's father's word!" Xuan Ye's voice was filled with emotion, Shen Ling also knew she must be extremely angry but she also had no other choice.

"Pardon the noble servant, the servant will accept the emperor's offer."

Shen Ling had already established her determination for the sake of her family, if she managed to marry Xuan Ye then Shen Ming's future would be safe, then the family would be spared the risk of punishment for refusing the emperor's order.

Xuan Ye felt that this matter had grown runyam, "Are you really ambitious to become the empress candidate of this country? Even though I'll never love you?"

With a blank look Shen Ling justified Xuan Ye's question, "Yes noble, loveless noble servant is also fine - what and servant will accept if your noble is about to marry again."

"You?!" Xuan Ye held onto Shen Ling's arm tightly while gripping her, Shen Ling could only endure the pain in her arm, a price worthy of the choice she had taken.

Seeing Shen Ling expressionlessly made Xuan Ye grow angry, he pushed Shen Ling and made her fall over, "Her cup I have misjudged you. It turns out you're very cunning and selfish."

After that Xuan Ye left Shen Ling. Shen Ling's heart felt empty, her painstaking trust in Xuan Ye finally broke down in an instant. A Li came over to Shen Ling and helped her lady to stand up.

With Shen Ling's heavy steps entering the room, she did not say a word to A Li and went straight to sleep.

Elsewhere, a group of rebels gathered and they discussed the empress' plan to go to the monastery. The country is partying for sure the guard will be loose, they plan to kidnap Huang Ro while on the way to the monastery. Hokben himself was about to intervene for Huang Ro's abduction, he did not want the plan he had put together to fall apart.

They devised a plan to adjust the number of bodyguards informed by the eyes.

Hok Ben said to his men, "Remember this plan should not fail and no one should divulge it to Miss Rong. If anyone betrays his sentence there is only one death. Do you understand?!"

One of his men said, "Master Hok what if Princess Huang Ro refuses to side with us?"

Hok Ben smiled cunningly, "He must be willing, as long as he rebels we will lock him up, if he is willing to cooperate with us then we can gather the empathy of the people to support our struggle as well as help us to overthrow Xuan Long. Therefore no one should divulge our plans to Miss Rong, otherwise she will definitely foil my plans."

After that everyone returned to their respective positions and prepared to follow the plan.

Huang Ro was very happy to hear Xuan Ye say, "We've only been away all day, before the sun goes down we've come home. Will your Majesty come or pick us up?"

Xuan Ye thought it was a good idea, he could take Huang Ro on a horse before returning to the palace, it must be a lot of fun. "Well, tomorrow I'll take fourth brother and fifth sister for a ride, when your entourage on the way home will definitely meet us."

Huang Ro was very pleased, then leaned on Xuan Ye's shoulder spoiledly.

Inadvertently Shen Ling met the two of them, Xuan Ye nonchalantly embraced his hands on Huang Ro's shoulders, the affection they both had made Shen Ling's heart hurt, she said, he looked away and left them both.

The next day a group of women set out for the monastery with a few soldiers with them. During the journey Shen Ling spoke so little that A Li was very worried about her, even breakfast was untouched and she just daydreamed all day.

After arriving at the monastery they prayed, everything went smoothly until the time came they were on their way home

Suddenly came three men attacking the group of women, the soldiers were overwhelmed against them, Shen Ling also joined the fight and strangely this person only targeted the palanquin belonging to Huang Ro, who was just looking for a stretcher, Many times Shen Ling was able to dispel the kidnappers but as a result of the fight Huang Ro's palanquin brand was damaged, the terrified Huang Ro ran out, and the scared Huang Ro ran out, shen Ling caught a glimpse of Huang Ro running towards the cliff, "Don't it be so dangerous?!" Huang Ro did not heed Shen Ling's warning, in his mind there was only one sentence 'I have to escape from here.'

The villains chased after Huang Ro, but many times Shen Ling was able to hold him back, as Shen Ling exhausted one of the villains hit Shen Ling's chest very hard, he said, fresh blood was spewed out by Shen Ling.

'For Xuan Ye's sake, I should be able to save that bastard woman. He must not die or I will owe Xuan Ye another debt.'

Shen Ling rose to her feet and continued their fight, suddenly Huang Ro shouted apparently he almost slipped on the edge of the cliff. From a distance came Xuan Ye's horse footsteps, "Huang Ro!! Huang Ro!!"

The villains panicked, blindly trying to pull Huang Ro's hand, but being fended off by Shen Ling, Shen Ling got her second blow, her consciousness was thinning but she kept fighting, the criminal cornered Shen Ling until Shen Ling's hand hit Huang Ro and Huang Ro fell into the cliff, Xuan Ye who saw the incident shouted "Huang Ro!! No!!"

Huang Ro shouted loudly as he fell into the abyss, and with the swiftness of Hok Ben catching him with the science of lightening the body, he managed to bring Huang Ro up, then shouted "All Back!!"

Xuan Ye tried to chase after the villains who had brought Huang Ro, but those who had already mastered the place were able to escape easily and disappear among the large trees. Xuan Ye shouted, he was furious and felt useless. Then he looked for Shen Ling to vent his frustration, had he not pushed Huang Ro into the abyss, the current Huang Ro would definitely not have fallen into the hands of that kidnapper.

'This is all because of that damn Shen girl, she dared to push my Huang Ro.'

Xuan Ye ran blindly in search of Shen Ling's whereabouts
