The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 96 Freedom

“Bring me to meet him!” It looks like Chen Long is trying to get up from his bed, but Mudan stops him, “Don't force yourself, Deputy General. Your wounds are not simple.”

Chen Long's tongue crackling sounded, “The mess happened, and I couldn't help. It proved that I was useless.” The man's hands clenched tightly. “Now, I know my savior is in the same building, but I can't face him. Doesn't that make me a selfless person?” Chen Long grimaced, not only because of the pain in his body, but also the disappointment in his heart towards himself.

After gaining some calm, Huang Miaoling hurriedly sent Mudan to give Chen Long news regarding everything that happened. He was sure that the man heard a commotion downstairs, and if he did not immediately preach it, the man would definitely force himself to come out of the room to find out what he was missing.

Luckily Mudan arrived just in time when Chen Long had just set foot on the floor. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen to the man's injuries, especially now that Liang Fenghong is no longer inside the city.

Hearing Chen Long's grunt, Mudan put on a face of difficulty. “To be honest, I'm not sure Miss Lan’er is in a suitable condition to receive a visit,” he said, remembering the blank look the girl gave when the red-eyed man's figure disappeared from view. ‘That's .. expression lost?’

Mudan shook his head. At times like this, he had no time to worry about others.

Finished carrying out the duties given by Huang Miaoling, Mudan resigned from Chen Long's room and let the other Lianhua Yuan members guard the man. Meanwhile, he went downstairs to help Yuanli clean up the mess produced by Lu Si.

Just when Mudan arrived downstairs, he could see Physician Bai—who had been inexplicably since when he had arrived— being treating the wound of one of the injured Lianhua Yuan members. Several other members of Lianhua Yuan were also busy cleaning up the objects that Lu Si had fallen victim to.

“What really happened here?” Physician Bai said confusedly as he examined his patients. Although he was upset woke up in the middle of the night, but the feeling did not last long when he saw how many people were injured in the place. “What kind of monster can leave a wound like this?"

The injuries sustained by the Lianhua Yuan guards were subtle, but when examining their pulse, Physician Bai was shocked by how chaotic his pulse was. This showed that the person who attacked the guards was a martial expert.

“Sorry to interrupt your evening, Physician Bai,” Yuanli said with a faint smile. He had no right to answer, especially since his employer had warned him not to tell him everything that had happened.

Receiving Yuanli's reply, Physician Bai no longer asked. He knew what the girl said.

Tonight's events are a secret.

Due to the sound of approaching footsteps, Yuanli turned his gaze and looked at Mudan. “So, that girl was also the one who saved Vice General Chen?” asked in a low voice, Yuanli happened to have also heard Huang Miaoling's orders to his comrades in arms. Nodding Mudan's head made Yuanli frown, “What is he ... man?” he muttered in a low voice.

“Remember Junzhu's remarks,” Mudan began to commemorate, “don't try to find out things you shouldn't understand.” He turned to one of the injured guards and began to help Physician Bai finish his task.

“I know,” Yuanli murmured while helping.

While everyone was busy doing their respective tasks, there was the sound of the main door being pushed open. All of those in the central room of Lianhua Yuan turned their heads and found a familiar figure coming over.

Huang Yade waved and asked with a gloomy expression, “What is really going on here?” He glanced at Mudan, then his gaze landed on Yuanli. “Yuanli? Why are you here?” The man could immediately guess that something was happening in the palace. “What happened in the palace?”

Yuanli opened his mouth, but another voice had first replaced him to give an answer, “Something was electrifying.” Everyone turned to the stairs and found Huang Miaoling walking down. Mingwei Junzhu's eyes looked tired as he said, “Who let you tell what happened to Minister Huang?” The woman's tone sounded angry.

How not? Yuanli was now at Lianhua Yuan, and that meant Wang Chengliu's eyes would point here. It is possible that the mad sixth prince will send an army here for a further attack. In that case, doesn't that mean Huang Yade is involved in danger?

“Don't blame them,” Huang Yade said when she saw some Lianhua Yuan members putting on frightened faces. “Cap Lianhua Yuan is still in my hands, it means everything that happened in this place should be reported to me,” his gaze swept around, “more problems of this magnitude.”

Huang Miaoling sighed, forgetting the stamp of Lianhua Yuan that Huang Yade still possessed. Moreover, after he thought further, there was no way Wang Chengliu would chase Yuanli all the way here. If the man knew Yuanli was in Lianhua Yuan and had given Huang Miaoling the news, the sixth prince would have been more busy trying to cover up the events of the night than concerned about a servant girl.

Without wasting any longer, Huang Miaoling told Huang Yade all the things that happened. Well, of course he also changed a bit the storyline involving Lu Si. Not only because Lan’er did not want this incident to be known to others, but also because Huang Miaoling felt that telling this would only make the problem more complicated. If you don't see with your own eyes, what happened just a moment ago is impossible.

A red-eyed man who pierced through Lianhua Yuan's defenses and shot to the third floor in a split second? Just be right.

Hearing the story told by his younger brother, Huang Yade scowled his temple. “Wang Chengliu .. and Huang Wushuang?” his whole body shook when he said that. Disgust, anger, disbelief, also confusion, that was how he felt. “What does the man really want?!”

The question that Huang Yade asked was the same question that had been residing in Huang Miaoling's brain. Even after being his wife for so many years in his past life, the woman still could not understand the sixth prince's way of thinking.

No. gabe. In reality, no one can fully understand the way other people think, right?

Huang Miaoling covered his face with both hands. If he had not spoken to Lan’er, perhaps he would have replied to Huang Yade with two sentences, “Perset*n with what Wang Chengliu wanted. The most important thing for me is to get rid of it.”

However, now Huang Miaoling's heart was filled with rage.

The answer Lan’er gave to Huang Miaoling kept ringing in his brain, “Freedom, Miaoling.” The wide smile that adorned Lan’er's face somehow made Huang Miaoling's heart feel pain. “Freedom over everything that binds me.”

‘Lan’er ..’ Huang Miaoling closed his eyes, understanding the meaning behind the mysterious girl's remark. ‘Freedom you mean .. does that mean death?’
