The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 110 Guess and Secrets

“Urgh,” the pain that enveloped his body made Huang Miaoling groan. He slowly opened his eyes, rubbing them a few times to get used to the light trying to rush into his sight.

In the moment his eyes had adjusted to the surrounding situation, Huang Miaoling tried to move his body. However, he felt his movements were limited. Huang Miaoling's eyes widened, staring at his legs and hands chained to a bed.

‘What the hell is this?!’ huang Miaoling growled as he continued to try to escape. Rarely, but this time Huang Miaoling showed a look of fear. He never liked the sense of restraint, and his chained body made his breathing feel tight. ‘Lease! Release!’ the woman shouted in her heart.

Huang Miaoling continued to struggle to break away, but after a long time had passed, he finally gave up. By being so forced, the woman could only try to control the emotions and discomfort within her.

‘How much time has passed?’ Huang Miaoling's brain turned around, trying to second-guess what had happened. ‘What First Sister got caught? What about Fang Yu? Longzhu troops ... did anyone lose their lives?’ The woman's hand clenched, ‘What Emperor Weixin really ... is dead?’

I don't know how much time has passed, but the door to the room is suddenly open. Huang Miaoling pretended to close his eyes, trying to see who had actually come. He wanted to find a chance to escape!

Unexpectedly, a hand gripped his neck, causing Huang Miaoling's eyes to suddenly open due to difficulty breathing. “Don't you pretend before me, Huang Miaoling!” furious the man who was none other than Wang Chengliu. A furious rage emanated from the man's tanned black bead.

Seeing Wang Chengliu's expression, Huang Miaoling forced a smile to appear on his face. “You ... lost ... something?”

The ridiculing gaze that Huang Miaoling showed him made Wang Chengliu even more crazed, he steeled his chuckle on the woman's neck while snapping, “Where are you hiding those people?!” Due to the overly strong giggle, Huang Miaoling could not answer. Finally, unwillingly, Wang Chengliu let go of the woman.

Huang Miaoling coughed, then took a deep breath. Only two seconds after he had gained freedom, a dagger was pressed against his neck.

“Jawab!” wang Chengliu growled impatiently.

“Wang Chengliu, do you really expect me to tell you everything for free?” huang Miaoling asked in a defiant tone. The woman brought her face closer to Wang Chengliu, not caring for the dagger that slightly slashed her neck. “Dreams.” And, the woman laughed out loud triumphantly.

Wang Chengliu's hands trembled, his accumulated anger requiring an impingement. He gripped both sides of Huang Miaoling's face with his hands, then forced a terrible grin, “Do you think by saving the Crown Prince, you can stop me? It only takes a while before I'll find it!”

Huang Miaoling clearly knew the answer to the question, no. Without Wang Zhengyi, Wang Chengliu could still rule the throne. After all, slander had been sprayed, and Wang Zhengyi's current reputation had been ruined in the eyes of the officials as well as the soldiers. With just one push, Wang Chengliu could still take over the power of Shi Kingdom.

However, Huang Miaoling's goal was not to stop Wang Chengliu in a single strike. Everyone needs a process!

“Without hostages, what can you do?” huang Miaoling. “Not only Wang Zhengyi, but Wu Meilan, the court ladies, also Emperor Weixin disappeared. Isn't this fun?” The woman looked at Wang Chengliu with a pitiful look, “Having told Wang Chengliu, I can read your steps.”

No, not only Wang Chengliu, Huang Miaoling also knew of Empress Dowager Shen's intention to frame her. From the moment Wu Meilan informed Emperor Weixin of his intention to marry her to Wang Chengliu, Huang Miaoling had already realized that something was wrong.

Hearing Huang Miaoling's words, Wang Chengliu's eyes grew bigger, as if he wanted to devour the woman before him alive. Upon realizing that Huang Miaoling was playing with his emotions, the man closed his eyes.

As the saying goes, “He who first drowns in the flames of anger will be the loser!” And, Wang Chengliu was not willing to be the losing side.

Wang Chengliu pulled back himself, then stood by the side of the bed while looking coldly at Huang Miaoling. “Great you, Huang Miaoling. By provoking my anger, you expect me to finish you off, don't you?” his tan while combing his hair back, a movement that is so charming, but also deadly. “Honey, I won't do that.”

Huang Miaoling clucked inwardly, cursing at the man's intelligence. “You can't kill me?” tanyanya with a sneering grin. However, the woman's heart trembled.

If Huang Miaoling is held in this place, then the person who will be taken hostage. It was likely that the royal family would not be provoked to save him after making it out of the palace, but not with the Huang family.

Suddenly, Wang Chengliu snorted. “Do you think everyone survived?” ask the man. “Don't you remember that your first brother, older cousin, and troops are in my hands?”

“Do not brag, they have escaped,” reply Huang Miaoling.

Indeed, Huang Miaoling had no idea about the situation of the two brothers and their troops. However, he would bet that they managed to survive.

Wh why? Of course because when Wang Chengliu asked about the disappearing royal family, he did not use those people to threaten Huang Miaoling.

‘That guy has been misstep!’ Huang Miaoling was eager to laugh at this.

Being able to see the demeaning radiance from Huang Miaoling's black bead, Wang Chengliu's emotions again increased. He gripped Huang Miaoling's face and growled, “Keep laughing. In a few more days, you'll see the bodies of everyone you love!” The man grinned, “Again, three of them have fallen on the battlefield and are on their way to becoming decoration on the main gate of Zhongcheng!”

At this moment, Huang Miaoling recalled Wang Chengliu's words in the main courtyard. The woman's body shuddered again, ‘What does this man mean ...’

Capturing the crescence of Huang Miaoling's calmness, Wang Chengliu chuckled. “You don't know, do you?” She brought her face closer to the woman, “Let me tell you a secret.” With lips on the side of Huang Miaoling's ear, the man whispered, “There was a traitor in the Zhou-Shi.” expedition
