The Guzheng of The Moon

Lai Xin tried to push Fang Wei away, but the man was too strong. As a result, he threw away his face as the man looked at him sharply.

"What would Gu Zheng do if he knew you were here?"

"I'll kill him first" Lai Xin sighed. "You .. You're the same."

"Obviously you still hate me" Fang Wei said.

Fang Wei took off his grip on Lai Xin then took a few steps back. In a room illuminated only by sunlight from a wall gap, it did not prevent him from being able to see the man as a whole. And as usual Fang Wei was still Fang Wei. Handsomest. Lai Xin hates that.

"I'd be so happy to meet your sister. That way I won't have to bother rummaging through the palace to find it."

"You are still as rude as the last time we met," Fang Wei said. "Go, let me take care of the rest."

Lai Xin smiled sinisterly then ruffled her waist. "alright. But I wouldn't take this as a debt. Let's just say I deserve this from you."

"Just up to you." Fang Wei's turn was now smiling. "How's the poor girl doing?"

Lai Xin's face was flat for a moment. "Who?"

Lai Xin had a premonition about the girl mentioned by Fang Wei. Especially if the man really meant Yue, he did not like her sister to be called a poor girl.

"Your sister, who else?"

"Don't you have to explain some things to me about this," Lai Xin sighed.

He's upset. Hugely. Fang Wei's words seemed to know and showed who his sister really was. If that's true, it means that the man knew everything from the beginning. And he just shut up. Goddamn bum!

"I don't know what you're thinking right now, which obviously I'm not that low," Fang Wei said. "I know only a part of it and it's just a secret."

"So you admit it, that the girl named Yue is my sister?!"

Fang Wei was silent a thousand languages. As if fearing the answer would make Lai Xin even more furious and in a state of turmoil.

Lai Xin was about to violently open the door, but was held back by Fang Wei. The suddenness of that made Lai Xin jerk the man's hand.

"Don't touch me" he hissed once more. "Well! I hope you will never show up again in our lives. Forever. I'll make sure Yue never meets your sister again!"

"Say, is she okay?" asked Fang Wei once more.

"Do you think losing a baby is okay?!"

"What did you say?" ask someone behind Fang Wei.

Yue was somewhat surprised when Cheng Li kissed her briefly earlier. He could not hide his red face from embarrassment. The man kept trying to touch her. And Yue objected to that.

It was fortunate that Xiaoli herself delivered him to the room. At least his hatred for the girl could make Yue stay aware of where she is now.

Yeah, he's decided. He would use this opportunity to avenge everyone who had hurt him especially Gu Zheng. If necessary he will marry Cheng Li. Given the Yuhan and An kingdoms that did not get along, Yue was curious about the man's reaction if he knew now he was in the hands of his enemy.

Before this he had indeed not expected to meet Cheng Li at all. Then suddenly it was as if the Gods were giving him a way. Crazy ideas filled his brain during his journey towards An Kingdom. And marrying Cheng Li was one of them.

Actually he was eager to meet with Lai Xin and tell her everything, but Yue undoed his intentions. If she told him everything now, Yue was sure that her brother would not allow himself to set foot on the ground of Yuhan or An.

"Originally you know. This action of yours could trigger a war between Sichuan and An," Xiaoli said suddenly. "I won't pretend to be good just because you're mute now. And if until the war happens because of you, I'll make sure you're sorry."

Yue knew exactly what he was doing now. That's right Xiaoli said. With Lai Xin's temper, it could have been a war. But he has his own plan. Yue had thought about this carefully. And could Yue make sure the war wouldn't happen just because of her.

Yue took out a piece of paper and a brush on the table and started to write. Xiaoli who was sitting opposite him just threw her face in annoyance. After finishing writing and folding the paper, Yue handed it to Xiaoli.

"I'm doing it because it's the most reasonable thing to do, you understand?"

Yue menganngkuk's. He understood very well what the girl meant. Just like her, Xiaoli also did not want the war to happen. So the girl agreed when Yue wanted to write a letter to the Sichuan Kingdom. He said he was fine.

After receiving the letter, Xiaoli came out without saying any more. Leaving Yue Yang bowed listlessly. Sometimes he stroked his chest. It hurts every time I remember Gu Zheng and Ah Mei.

From here he will do it his own way. He will fight for his rights. Yes, Empress Yuhan's throne is hers. He will take it back, even if it injures many people as well as himself in the process. He's ready to do it.

It would bring Gu Zheng to his knees before him.
