CHAPTER 27

Elsewhere, Huang Ro was having a serious conversation with Hok Ben, they were talking about an intrusion plan into the palace.

Huang Ro who was filled with grudges to the Ming emperor became impatient to be able to kill the Emperor and his family.

"Lord Hok Ben, when and how do we plan to be able to kill Emperor Ming? I hope before their wedding I can kill the family."

Hok Ben was surprised by the true nature of Princess Tian Yu, all this time he thought that Princess Tian Yu would not want to cooperate with him, but it turned out that Princess Tian Yu was much crueler than he thought.

"Look back, Princess, we will definitely infiltrate in less than three days from now. If we move ahead of the wedding celebration then we will definitely lose because the number of soldiers will be increased. Can you describe the ins and outs of the palace in full?"

Huang Ro nodded, describing in detail the palace plan on Hok Ben, Huang Ro recalled the entire treatment of emperor Ming on him from childhood to adulthood. The emperor had never liked his presence in the palace, it was time for the wheel of fate to turn. Huang Ro just wanted to avenge all the royal family's use and betrayal of him.

Finally Hok Ben devised the strategy of attacking the Emperor, tomorrow morning they will begin to move.

That night at the Ming palace, Shen Ling played back her jade flute. A soft and melodious tone rang out in the corners of the palace, not least prince Yuan Cheng, subconsciously looking for the source of the melodious voice.

At the sight of Shen Ling she was stunned, the beautiful girl was very good at playing her flute, her long and shiny hair was waving gently in the night breeze, her tiny lips kept blowing the flute, and the radiance of his eyes seemed to be a moon mirror that night.

Suddenly Yuan Cheng thought of a way to figure out the birthmark on that shoulder, he had his men dressed all in dark and attacked Shen Ling especially his left shoulder. Yuan Cheng's men obeyed his master's orders, immediately he attacked, the shocked Shen Ling did not have time to dodge anymore, as a result of which the shirt on his left shoulder was torn and injured. Then Shen Ling countered the attack using her jade flute, and a fight ensued. Yuan Cheng smiled as he discovered that Shen Ling possessed martial arts.

When Yuan Cheng's men attacked Shen Ling, Xuan Ye appeared and helped Shen Ling. Yuan Cheng who saw his men being cornered immediately helped him, silently - silently he threw a stone at Shen Ling's feet, Shen Ling was shocked and slipped into the pool. With lightning fast, Yuan Cheng's men disappeared, then by pretending to panic, Yuan Cheng jumped into the pool to help Shen Ling. In the water Yuan Cheng deliberately tore a bit of Shen Ling's shirt to look at the birthmark, it turned out to be true, there was a crescent birthmark on his left shoulder. Shen Ling also pushed Yuan Cheng and tried to hit him over his disrespect earlier.

Soon Xuan Ye followed into the pool to help Shen Ling, finally with the help of the two of them Shen Ling was able to pull up.

In the midst of his effort of taking a breath, Shen Ling recalled that Yuan Cheng had deliberately ripped his clothes off in the water. He immediately approached Yuan Cheng and slapped him, "Hamba did not know that crown prince Yun was a pervert."

Yuan Cheng laughed and replied, "Miss don't misunderstand, I only see if there is poison in your wounds. If the wound is poisonous, it'll be very dangerous when you're in the water."

Shen Ling also realized that Yuan Cheng's words were true, even though the way he used them was very impudent

A soldier reported to Xuan Ye that the attacker had escaped. Xuan Ye was furious and tightened his guard, "From now on, tighten the guard and I don't want anything like that to happen again. Then get the palace healer to check on Miss Shen."

The soldier finally left to carry out Xuan Ye's orders. As Xuan Ye was talking to the palace soldiers, apparently Yuan Cheng's men had already brought the robe to his master, then Yuan Cheng gave the robe to Shen Ling and put it on, "Miss Shen the pool water is so cold wear this robe to warm you."

Shen Ling accepted Yuan Cheng's treatment and thanked him.

Yuan Cheng only smiled, 'If it's true that woman is my fiancee then I won't refuse her, but if she is indeed Tian Yu's daughter why would she be in Ming court?.'

Then Yuan Cheng wrote a letter and informed his father that he had accidentally found the real Princess Tian Yu.

Inside Shen Ling's room, Xuan Ye let down Shen Ling rudely, "ouw, it hurts so noble." Xuan Ye only fell silent with a flat-faced expression, "Are you not denying now? Look prince Yun likes you and you guys had a chance to make out."

Shen Ling suddenly laughed, Xuan Ye grew even more annoyed at her, "Why are you laughing?"

Shen Ling said with a restraining laugh, "Are you jealous?"

Xuan Ye was surprised to hear that, "Yes I'm jealous, I don't want you to be close to another man other than me."

Shen Ling blushed at Xuan Ye's straightforward reply, she didn't expect Xuan Ye to answer her joke like that, Shen Ling immediately lowered her head and didn't dare look at Xuan Ye. Shen Ling's actions only made Xuan Ye even more anxious, he approached Shen Ling and raised his head then their faces were close together then whispered "You are mine, other men should not approach you. Do you understand?"

Shen Ling nodded slowly, then Xuan Ye gently kissed her lips, a light and sweet kiss.

"Tabib will come and treat you soon, I'll go talk to the palace guards."

Shen Ling could only be dumbfounded, the incident was so fast, it was only this first time that Xuan Ye kissed her. Shen Ling forgot her wounds and smiled a smile on her bed.

The next day unbeknownst to Hok Ben's group, Ming's palace guard was already tightened by Xuan Ye, but Hok Ben's group still desperately wanted to break through the palace. Their weapons were all covered in poison, the brand had made plans to attack and planned to escape from the palace.

Huang Ro appeared to run towards the palace and broke through the guards, "Open the door, this is Huang Ro from the house of the queen mother, do you not recognize me?"

The guards were initially confused, the person they were looking for had already gone home by themselves. But eventually they still let Huang Ro enter and report to the Emperor.

News spread quickly, reaching the ears of the queen mother, Xuan Ye and Shen Ling.

All were running towards the royal hall where Huang Ro was facing. In the royal hall, it appeared that emperor Ming was interrogating Huang Ro, the queen mother who missed Huang Ro so much told the emperor to stop, "Stop! stopit! Don't you see, my grandson has returned, don't make it difficult for him anymore. My dear granddaughter are you hurt? let me see it here." Huang Ro approached the queen mother, then hugged her..

While hugging the queen mother he saw Shen Ling's pale face and Xuan Ye's innocent face, instantly his emotions became high and he was eager to kill all of them. 'Quiet Huang Ro, calm down, this is not the time for you to act. Calm down.'
