A/N: Still transition and explanation. It is better if you are impatient, save first 3-4 chapters. Wkwk

__________

A pair of women with beautiful faces and luxurious clothes sat face to face inside one of the palaces magnificent rooms. A number of waiters lined up in one corner of the room while one of them served the two women, poured tea and served snacks.

One of the women wore a striking golden yellow robe and a number of exquisite jewelry. If it wasn't for her head being decorated with ordinary antique condes, perhaps people would have thought she was an empress.

“I didn't expect there would be a day where we sat down and enjoyed tea together,” a sweet smile graced the beautiful face of the young lady, leaving some servants stunned.

The woman who was opposite the young lady vaguely looked older, but her appearance was no less dazzling. Moreover, the prestige he had clearly far surpassed that of the young lady.

“After being banished by the Crown Prince, now you turned into the heating of the Sixth Prince's bed apparently,” retorted the woman, completely ignoring the young woman's intention to establish a relationship.

Huang Wushuang's temples twitched, but she forced a smile on her face to endure. It's a pity that he said, “So did you, Yang Defei. Since you can't count on your biological son, are you moving on to someone else?” However, he could only smile politely. “I'm lucky that anyone can appreciate me.”

“Oh, is that it?” reply Yang Yuechan.

Huang Wushuang stared intently at Yang Yuechan who was sipping her tea leisurely. His tanned black bead closely observed the expression of the woman before him.

Finished sipping his drink, Yang Yuechan grabbed a single snack. Then, he replied, “Hmm, why hold on to things that are no longer useful. I don't understand the Sixth Prince's way of thinking.”

Yang Yuechan's reply irritated Huang Wushuang, feeling that the woman was deliberately luring herself. However, this is a common tactic to get rid of things that may be a threat. This action proved that Yang Yuechan regarded himself as a stumbling block.

‘This woman is dangerous,’ thought Huang Wushuang, reminded of her servant's story.

When the chaos occurred, Huang Wushuang was inside his courtyard, so he only knew everything that went on in Wang Wuyu's death ritual from his servant. It was said that Yang Yuechan had cried so sadly for what befell Emperor Weixin. However, while on a runaway trip with the other royal women, he was instead known to have nearly killed Empress Mingmei. So, he was eventually abandoned.

Who would have thought that he was indeed cooperating with Wang Chengliu?

Huang Wushuang sighed inwardly. ‘Holding on to Wang Chengliu is the right decision. Besides being ambitious, the man is so manipulative that he is able to establish relationships with a handful of unexpected people.’ She was grateful for her instinct to accept the man that night.

Suddenly, the door of the room opened wide. The figure of a servant stepped in and approached Yang Yuechan hurriedly. “Defei!” his yell.

When his gaze landed on the figure of the servant who had just arrived, Huang Wushuang could not help but show a surprised expression. ‘B-isn't that .. Mingyue?!’ pekik Huang Wushuang in heart.

Mingyue was completely indifferent to Huang Wushuang's shocked gaze, as if she didn't recognize the woman. However, he immediately told Yang Yuechan, “I've already gotten information regarding Mingwei Junzhu's whereabouts!”

In a flash, Yang Defei's calm expression turned dark and gripping. Not only the servants, but Huang Wushuang could feel the hair on the back of her neck standing up.

Standing up from his seat, Yang Yuechan said, “Take me there.”

Huang Wushuang immediately stopped him by saying, “However, the Sixth Prince said he wants to meet us here.”

Yang Yuechan glanced at Huang Wushuang, looking at her as if the woman was a lowly person. “My goal is only one, avenge my son.” Then, he stepped out while adding, “Dan, Wang Chengliu should be smart enough to know that he is unable to stop me.”

“You mean to say ... that magic is involved?” Wang Zhengyi stared at Huang Yade with a gambled gaze for a moment. His common sense wanted to shout that it was impossible, but in his time with him, he knew that it could be an explanation for his crazy actions.

“Therefore, all this is not your fault,” Wang Qiuhua added, trying to dispel the guilt in Wang Zhengyi's heart. “Ayahanda must have known something was wrong. Otherwise, when he regains consciousness, we can tell him this.” The girl clenched her hands. “It's all ... was that guy.”

Wang Zhengyi glanced at his younger sister, knowing who the girl was talking about. “Wang Chengliu ... he currently occupies the palace?” he said in a wondering tone which Huang Yade replied with a nod. Breath blurred from Wang Zhengyi's lips, “Langit is still on our side, at least everyone had time to escape from the man's cunning.” He raised his gaze towards Huang Yade, “This time, the royal family is truly indebted to the Huang family, especially Mingwei Junzhu.”

Hearing Wang Zhengyi's words, Huang Yade smiled helplessly. ‘Saving? I would rather agree that this would be tantamount to a joint suicide, the inner’ of the man, feeling that the crown prince was still so naive.

With the large number of people they saved, Wang Chengliu knew clearly that their entourage was unable to run far. The royal family's hideout and the Huang, Wei, and Situ families' hideouts will be quickly sniffed.

In Huang Yade's eyes, this was a suicide, not only for the three great families, but also for the unfortunate citizens of Qiongpo Di. If it wasn't for the girl .. she wouldn't have easily agreed to this third sister's plan.

“Trust me, First Young Master Huang,” the tone of speech bouncing the girl was still ringing in Huang Yade's mind. “In this world, there are two people I believe are capable of creating miracles. Huang Miaoling .. and—"

“Miaoling caught,” said Wang Qiuhua suddenly, cutting off Huang Yade's daydreams violently.

“What?!” Wang Zhengyi turned his gaze towards his little brother. “How is it possible?!”

Wang Qiuhua explained about what happened briefly. As a result, his explanation made the crown prince feel very bad.

“Have you guys sent anyone to free him?” w.a.n.g Zhengyi asked Huang Yade. “With Wang Chengliu's nature, I worry him ...” He did not dare to continue his words. “We have to save him immediately!”

Some of Wang Zhengyi's panic was due to his concern over Huang Miaoling's fate, while the rest was because the woman held an important role in the continuity of the Shi Kingdom. However the man is a candidate for emperor, of course the way he assesses the interests of a person is partly based on the usefulness of the person.

“I'm afraid we don't have the ability to do that, Your Majesty,” Huang Yade replied with a heavy heart.

When they escaped from the royal palace, Huang Yade preferred to leave most of the palace soldiers instead of the Longzhu Army. It was based on the trust he had in both armies.

Longzhu's troops were specially given and trained by Huang Miaoling, they had also sworn to serve the woman and the Huang family. Instead, the palace troops were mostly trained by Wang Chengliu. Although some swore to serve Emperor Weixin, only the core army was able to be fully relied upon.

“From the beginning, our side did not have enough warriors. After our efforts to get out of the Sixth Prince's grip, our soldiers have become increasingly thinned,” explains Huang Yade. “Lucky Investigator Rong has prepared a number of things as Ling’er wants. Therefore, Qiongpo Di became the safest place for us at the moment.”

Wang Zhengyi was pensive, not expecting there to be when he set foot in Qiongpo Di, moreover staying in this place. “Until when will we settle here? Sooner or later, Chengliu will find us,” guess. “He's cunning and intelligent. It didn't take long before he would easily know our location, especially with the number of our entourage.”

Hearing this, Huang Yade was slightly surprised. He had originally thought Wang Zhengyi was so naive. However, it turned out that the man was now aware of the circumstances they were facing.

At this time, Mudan said, “What we need to make sure is safe are only two people, you and Princess Wu.” His words made everyone land a glance at his figure. “The Lady and the Chairman have said, if the worst really happens, Lianhua Yuan will make sure the Crown Prince and Princess Meilan manage to escape.”

Suddenly, a humming sound was heard from outside the room. “I have never heard of this,” said a woman who had just stepped through ‘the entrance’ of the house.

Wang Qiuhua's expression immediately turned sharp, filled with dislike. Meanwhile, Wang Zhengyi looked surprised.

“Song Qiaolan?” Wang Zhengyi did not expect that he would see one of his concubines here. Indeed Huang Yade mentioned about the 'royal women' several times, but he thought it only referred to the Queen Mother, her mother and her sister, Huang Shufei and Wu Meilan! “How can you be here?”
