The Phoenix Reborn Book II
Chapter 164 Unpacking the Truth
*In the present*
It was seen that Huang Miaoling's figure ran towards Lan’er's open room. She followed the direction of her husband's voice who had just shouted a warning to someone not to touch someone.
Just arriving at the door, Huang Miaoling's eyes widened to see the sight before his eyes. “Lan’er!”
Huang Miaoling stepped inside the room, intending to pull Wang Chengliu who was touching Lan’er's face away from the girl. However, the woman was stopped by her husband.
“Do not approach them!” firmly Liang Fenghong, knew that something beyond reason was going on between Wang Chengliu and Lan’er.
A worried expression was painted on Huang Miaoling's face. “Tapi—”
BRACKET!
Not yet had Huang Miaoling finished his talk, the door behind him suddenly slammed shut.
‘All the cast are already here,’ said a voice that is quite familiar Huang Miaoling and Liang Fenghong.
“Lan’er?” call Liang Fenghong with a frown. He checked on Lan’er's condition, but the girl was still lying unconscious on her bed.
The next instant, Huang Miaoling and Liang Fenghong's bodies froze. The weapons in their hands fell down and their sight turned shrouded in darkness.
Right at that moment, Lan’er's voice reverberated, ‘It's time you guys also know the truth ..’.
***
In the main hall of the Shi Kingdom palace, the girl was seen bowing respectfully towards a man sitting on the throne. Even if she knows about everything about everyone in the room, but the girl knows she can't be rash.
All for the sake of the figure who was next to him now.
“Wang Chengliu facing Ayahanda. May Ayahanda live a long life for tens of thousands of years ...”
“Everyone thought you were dead,” replied the man who was none other than Emperor Weixin. “After all, from a battalion under your command, no one came back except you.”
From behind the hood that covered her head, Meilan could see Wang Weixin's expression quite clearly. The middle-aged man's gaze was cold, not the slightest bit pleased with the fact his sixth son had managed to return alive.
‘Then, should he just die?’ inner Meilan with both hands clenched tightly.
The girl's bead then shifted, looking at Wang Chengliu who looked troubled.
Shame, fear, and confusion. All of those things were clearly drawn from the figure of Wang Chengliu who was still unable to remember his past perfectly.
However, it was obvious that the man understood that the father considered his success in survival a grave sin!
Still in a bent position, Wang Chengliu turned a blind eye and replied, “Ananda .. pleaded guilty.”
“What's the point of admitting wrong if you don't feel that way?” wang Weixin replied coldly. “If it is serious, then you could have killed yourself before arriving at this place.”
Meilan suddenly raised a furious look, preparing to curse at Wang Weixin. ‘This man—!’
“Meilan!” hiss Wang Chengliu in a low voice. His hand gripped the girl's wrist tightly.
With a helpless smile, Wang Chengliu shook his head, hinting at Meilan to be patient.
Seeing that, Meilan could only grit her teeth and lower her head back.
From his seat, Wang Weixin was able to catch a small movement between Meilan and Wang Chengliu. This made him squint his eyes.
Eunuch Gao was aware of Wang Weixin's view of the hooded figure. As a result, he also said, “Design once! How dare you appear before the Emperor while hiding your identity!?”
