The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 146 Allies

“What's up?” huang Yade asked, feeling a little uncomfortable with the expression on the father's face.

Not yet had time Huang Qinghao replied, Huang Miaoling first guessed, “What is a message from Zhou?”

Huang Qinghao quickly looked at his daughter. “How do you know?”

Instead of answering, Huang Miaoling muttered instead with a face that looked bright, “It turns out so.” He seems to have an answer.

Ignoring the bewildered gazes of his father and brothers, Huang Miaoling stood up from his place and walked quickly away from the room. However, he had not had time to cross the door, he hit something quite hard. This was followed by a hand that was wrapped around his waist.

The surprised Huang Miaoling immediately raised a glance. “A Feng?” call it with slightly twitching eyes.

“Ling’er,” reply Liang Fenghong with a meaningful look. He helped the woman stand firm before finally greeting the seniors in the room. “Greetings to Father-in-law and First Sister-in-law.”

The views of the two young men Huang—Huang Hanrong and Huang Junyi—looked less friendly, still seeming less pleased with Liang Fenghong's attitude some time lately. On the other hand, Huang Yade maintained her manners and returned the greetings of her brother-in-law.

When Huang Yade glanced at the father, she was surprised to find Huang Qinghao's face visible. “Dad?” call him, surprise the man. “What's up?”

“T-no, Dad's okay.” Huang Qinghao immediately shook his head, then said towards Liang Fenghong, “Sit.” I don't know why the moves look weird. ”I want to tell you and Ling’er to rest longer, but it seems like our situation is not so possible.”

Huang Yade asked again, “What is the content of the letter?”

While led to the seat by her husband, Huang Miaoling said, “Second Brother along with the two princes are now Zhou.” He glanced at his father who immediately looked shocked. ‘As expected.’

“How is it possible?!” Huang Yade looked worried. “If Zhou catches them, then—”

“Second Brother no need to panic,” said Huang Miaoling. He also glanced at Liang Fenghong who had just sat down. “I think ... You have an explanation of this too, don't you?” he asked, making Huang Yade and Huang Junyi's temples throbbing to hear such a sweet way of speaking.

Liang Fenghong put on a faint smile while looking at the wife gently. “It seems, I can't hide anything from you.” He turned his gaze to the other Huang Family members who looked puzzled. “Second Sister and both princes are in safe hands.”

“What do you mean?” Huang Yade frowned. Then he remembered something. “No way ... You mean to say that Emperor Zhou—” He is unable to continue his words.

On the other hand, Liang Fenghong calmly nodded his head. “Qing Zhuang is an ally.”

Inside a room that looked luxurious, lay a man with a bandage covering his body and forehead. His face was covered in wounds that had begun to dry up, signaling that he was recovering over time.

Suddenly, the eyeball hidden behind the man's petals twitched. Within seconds, the petals opened, showing off the nightly black bead that was the peculiarity of his family.

The female servant guarding the room immediately exclaimed, “Already conscious!” He ran out, relaying a message to the soldier standing guard at the door, “Call the palace healer here! Vice General Huang is awake!”

Yes, that man is Huang Jieli.

Hearing the servant's words, Huang Jieli frowned. He felt all the bones and muscles in his body as if they were shattered.

When he saw the waiter back, Huang Jieli asked, “Where ... is this?” The man's voice sounded raucous, as if his throat had rusted from being unused for too long.

The female servant swiftly poured water into the cup and thrust it into Huang Jieli's lips. Politely, he replied, “Jawab, Deputy General Huang. You're at Zhou Palace, in—”

The servant's sentence was not finished, the water Huang Jieli had just gulped back was released.

“What?!” Huang Jieli felt her throat hurt from exclaiming. However, he could not help but continue, “How am I here?!”

The female servant froze for a moment, only being able to be patient with the surprised reaction of the deputy general. He rubbed his face with a handkerchief and said, “Calm down, Vice General Huang. Someone will come to explain everything to you soon.”

“Vice General!” exclaim someone with a high and excited voice.

Huang Jieli turned her head and found a familiar figure running towards her. “P-Seventh Prince?” He was trying to stand up, wanting to pay the respect he should.

“Do not stand up, your body has not fully recovered,” Wang Xiangqi said with slightly reddened eyes, looking very grateful for the fact that Huang Jieli finally regained consciousness. Seeing that the entire body of the man before him was covered in wounds, the prince frowned, feeling extremely guilty. “Thank you to the sky.”

Wang Xiangqi could not help but be so happy about Huang Jieli's consciousness. Not only did he feel grateful towards the man for trying so hard to save him, but also because he didn't know how to deal with Huang Miaoling if the sisters died on the battlefield while he survived.

Wang Xiangqi's attitude made Huang Jieli feel completely wrong. He wanted an explanation, but it was impolite for him to ask and ignore the mood of the prince.

“You've fought,” said another voice from behind Wang Xiangqi.

Huang Jieli averted her gaze and looked at the pair of blue eyes that were so conspicuous. “Fourth Prince,” call him. Recalling the figure of Tubo Rang who betrayed, the frown on Huang Jieli's forehead became deeper. “You ...”

Wang Junsi instantly recognized that gaze. He was sure that Huang Jieli thought that she had betrayed him.

“Deputy General Huang, don't get me wrong,” explained Wang Xiangqi, he also understood the reason Huang Jieli was being wary of her brother. “Kakak was also hit by a trap.”

Huang Jieli was silent. He felt that Wang Xiangqi might have been easily tricked by Wang Junsi. After all, the seventh prince was still so young and easily controlled by others, especially since from the beginning he was close to his fourth brother.

‘However, it makes no sense,’ thought Huang Jieli. ‘If it is true that he betrayed, there is no use for him to let me live.’

Just as Huang Jieli was thinking about it, the loud voice of a eunuch sounded from outside. “Emperor Zhou arrives!”

Before long, a handsome figure walked into the room with a golden robe wrapped around his body. A crown adorned his head.

The face of the crowned man was so young, but his gaze looked very old. He proved to be a person who was forced into adulthood by situations and circumstances.

Seeing the arrival of the man, everyone who was inside the room immediately saluted according to their status. “Honor to Emperor.”

Qing Zhuang waved her hand, “Stand.” Then, the man looked towards Huang Jieli who was looking at him full of shock and vigilance.

As soon as he saw the figure of the man standing guard at Qing Zhuang's side, Huang Jieli's expression turned puzzled. The fierce man with a long wound that adorned his right eye looked familiar.

Huang Jieli turned her gaze to Qing Zhuang. “You ... Emperor Zhou?” I don't understand the progress of this story.

How did he get here?

Why did the Zhou Emperor, Qing Zhuang, look so reticent to him? He didn't even punish her for not having the time to salute!

“Can I see that no one has explained anything to you.” Qing Zhuang glanced at a number of servants and eunuchs. “All of you, go.”

“Good.”

When all the subordinates left the room, the man with the wound in his right eye pulled out a chair for Qing Zhuang. This was followed by the emperor allowing Wang Xiangqi and Wang Junsi to sit down.

“Because you are aware, then I will explain everything to you,” Qing Zhuang started. “I will start from the most important,”. “I, Qing Zhuang, am an ally of the Physician Jianghu, Liang Fenghong.”
