Replacement Month

CHAPTER 25

King Yun called the crown prince Yuan Cheng, "Cheng Er I sent you to Ming country early and stay there longer. I want you to investigate about Princess Tian Yu that Hok Ben found."

Yuan Cheng from childhood always told the story of the collapse of his Tang kingdom, especially regarding the good relations of king Yun and King Tang as well as about him being betrothed to Princess Tian Yu, "Does the king's father not believe in Hok Ben?"

The king was silent for a moment, in ancient times Hok Ben was a powerful royal patron general, but everyone knew he was very ambitious to become a king. It was a pity that the Tang dynasty had to collapse and Hok Ben's chance of becoming king was lost. Therefore, Hok Ben was the most ambitious to overthrow the Ming country, he hoped he would become the next king.

"What do you want to investigate?"

King Yun was very fond of Yuan Cheng who was quick to respond, "When Princess Tian Yu was born I was visiting the land of Tang, that child was very unique, that child was very unique, there was a crescent-shaped birthmark on his left shoulder and there was also a speck of red birthmark on his right palm. Few people know this red dot."

Yuan Cheng immediately understood what his father knew, "Hamba understood father, servant will find out the truth."

After Yuan Cheng was about to leave, King Yun called him back, "My son if indeed the woman found by Hok Ben is not Tian Yu, then let it be. We will wait for the right time, but if the woman is really Princess Tian Yu then I will have to pay my debt to her in lieu of her dead father."

Yuan Cheng also understood his father's will, that afternoon Yuan Cheng brought a few men with high abilities. He did not want his departure to be conspicuous, so he easily moved.

Arriving at the Ming capital, Yuan Cheng did not go straight to the palace but instead rested for a while at the inn.

Elsewhere, the ship that locked Huang Ro landed, with his eyes closed Huang Ro was forced to walk towards the Hok Ben residence, after they had finally removed Huang Ro's headgear.

"Welcome Princess Tian Yu, welcome to your new home."

Huang Ro who was fed up with Hok Ben never again responded to his chatter.

"Master Hok Ben, I will ask you one thing, what benefit will I get if I help you? And how do I help you?"

Hok Ben was very happy to hear that, "Her Highness Princess, of course I can help the Princess to kill Emperor Ming and the crown prince as well as the entire royal family that you despise. It's the same way you avenge your family that they slaughtered."

Huang Ro glanced sharply, "How is the way? Is it that easy to kill them?"

Hok Ben smiled, "Of course, your late father was very good friends with Yun Country. They will be willing to help us to achieve our goals. But princess, of course there are requirements that the Princess must face."

"What's that?" Huang Ro already did not want to beat around tele anymore.

"The requirement is that you must fulfill the marriage promise with the crown prince of Yun. That way there will be a compelling reason for us to finish off the Ming emperor and the entire royal family. Hahahaha" Hok Ben's eyes are filled with frightening ambition. He had already planned that if Princess Tian Yu married crown prince Yun, then the position of the King that was vacant after deposing king Ming would be his, a very smooth plan.

Huang Ro continued to think, right now that he hated the entire kingdom so much, he wanted to tear them apart and kill them all no matter what way he would avenge their humiliation. "Alright I will cooperate with you, but remember one thing, let me kill Emperor Ming with my own hands."

Hok Ben's smile widened, "with great pleasure, Princess."

Plum Palace

Shen Ling met Xuan Ye, she knew that Xuan Ye was very busy going in and out of the palace to look for Huang Ro. Shen Ling was very bored within the palace, not to mention the senior servants required her to study the boring manners of the palace.

Xuan Ye thought for a long time, he was worried about Shen Ling's injuries, but he also knew that Shen Ling must be very bored.

"Alright, but take a Li with you and don't forget to bring your elixir pill. I can't keep an eye on you, so you have to take care of yourself."

Shen Ling laughed happily "Okay Your Majesty. Wait for me, I'll change clothes to easily blend in with the people."

Shortly after, Shen Ling went out, they split up. Shen Ling went towards the market while Xuan Ye went to the bodyguard's head office, the brand promised to meet at the palace gate before dark.

In the market Shen Ling saw - see a lot of funny accessories, it had been a long time since he had gone to the market and arrived - he was missing with the house.if he was currently back home, he was not, I can be sure his father must be very angry. Without the Emperor's permission, Shen Ling was forbidden to enter and exit the palace at will.

It was already noon and Shen Ling was starving, then she invited A Li to stop by one of her favorite restaurants.

While waiting for the dish to come, there was a commotion inside the restaurant. One handsome guest had accidentally nudged another guest who looked like a thug, and the thug did not accept, at first they clashed, but the handsome man ignored him and continued to eat his lunch.

Suddenly the thug committed fraud, he threw a knife at the handsome man silently.

Shen Ling swiftly threw her knife to block the blade.

The thug didn't accept "Who would dare to challenge me?"

Shen Ling knew she could not stand out, so she just kept quiet and watched.

Then the handsome man stood up, "From now on I've let you go, but you keep looking for trouble. Do I have to kill you and then you can shut up?"

The thug was very angry and there was a fight, apparently the handsome man was high-scientific, with one move he managed to throw the thug out of the restaurant.

applause and cheers from the other guests were heard. The thug left with a vengeful face, then the man approached Shen Ling, "I thank you for the lady's help?"

Shen Ling immediately replied, "I didn't do anything."

The man walked over and picked up Shen Ling's knife, then opened Shen Ling's right palm and placed the knife in his hand. The man was shocked and silent for a moment, Shen Ling who was feeling uneasy tried to let go of his hand.

"No problem, no need to thank me. I'll take care of it."

Shen Ling immediately left the restaurant, if word got out that the hand of the bride-to-be was held by another man then there could be a disaster 'At the same time the man was very strange, I better not be looking for trouble.'

Yuan Cheng was surprised, the task of his father who felt very difficult turned out to be solved. He accidentally found a woman with a red mark on her palm, but he still had to make sure the crescent moon birthmark was on her shoulder.

With one hand gesture his men understood that he had to follow the woman.
