The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 168 Wang Chengliu's True Reason

Lan’er's remark made Huang Miaoling and Liang Fenghong link the brows. However, they had yet to ask anything, the scene of the second life revolving before them.

Different from the first life that began when Lan’er woke up in the body of a girl in the middle of the forest, the scene this time started from the figure of Wang Chengliu who managed to win his first war. At such a young age, fifteen, he led the first expedition to victory and was declared a war hero.

Although his reputation as an unwanted prince remained, but the victory that Wang Chengliu brought made everyone think twice when facing him, including Wang Weixin. That Emperor Shi wanted to get rid of the thorns in his flesh, but the respect of the people centered on the war hero prevented him from doing anything.

While re-watching the scenes from his first life, Huang Miaoling appeared to put on a puzzled face.

“His fate is so different ... because he remembers what happened in his first life?” huang Miaoling asked, recalling the fact in Wang Chengliu's first life managed to live because Lan’er saved him.

The woman turned her head to stare at Lan’er who nodded her head. It looked as if the brown unravelling girl was looking fixedly at Wang Chengliu's face which was much more confident than first life.

Lan’er explained, “Failure from my first life made me punished by fate, where my movements ended up being restricted and I was not allowed to interact directly with the characters before the story began.”

Liang Fenghong's eyebrows linked. He knew about who the characters Lan’er meant, but ‘story started’?

“What do you mean by ‘story starts’?” asked Liang Fenghong.

Lan’er's bead switched momentarily from the scene in plain sight towards Liang Fenghong. “Your love story and Huang Miaoling of course.” The girl added, “Stories that started from Huang Miaoling's matchmaking with Wang Zhengyi.”

At this moment, Huang Miaoling instantly understood. “So ... When you were able to act, you only realized that there was a fatal mistake in the second life?”

Lan’er looked back to the front, at the figure of Wang Chengliu who respected the soldiers and was wary of the other princes.

“I only found out Wang Chengliu was alive when you rejected Empress Mingmei's idea of marrying you to Wang Zhengyi and begged to marry the sixth prince.”

When Lan’er said that, Huang Miaoling's brain turned around.

If in the second life Wang Chengliu remembered everything that happened in the first life, especially regarding his relationship with Lan’er, then ...The main reason the man wanted the throne was …?!

Huang Miaoling widened and looked at Lan’er fixedly. “The main reason Wang Chengliu wants the throne in the second life is ... for you?!”

Hearing that question, Lan’er stared back at Huang Miaoling. The girl's face looked troubled and shrouded in guilt.

Huang Miaoling's body trembled. He found it hard to believe.

All this time, Huang Miaoling thought that Wang Chengliu wanted the throne because indeed the man was blinded by power and position. Not only that, he also thought that Huang Wushuang's beauty and cunning were the trigger for her death.

However, what is this!?

As it turned out, all that Wang Chengliu did in his past life ... was for the sake of making sure no one else touched Lan’er?

Wait, if that is the case, then in the beginning, when Wang Chengliu met her, the man's good attitude ...is not a fake?!

As if knowing what Huang Miaoling was questioning, a round of memories before his eyes revealed Huang Miaoling's first encounter with Wang Chengliu at the palace. How the young girl smiled shyly when faced with the hero of the country and softly replied by the man.

“First Miss Huang, are you lost?” young Wang Chengliu asked, adding, “I will take you to the main hall where your father is.”

Yes, that was Huang Miaoling's first interaction with Wang Chengliu in his previous life. The interaction made the young girl fall in love with the prince.

While walking side by side with the servants who were five steps behind them, Wang Chengliu asked, “How are you..your aunt?”

The question made the young Huang Miaoling startled, but he quickly thought that Wang Chengliu was talking about Huang Yan’an.

“I haven't had time to meet with Auntie, but from Dad, I know Aunt is fine,” replied young Huang Miaoling with a faint smile.

Watching the scene again, Huang Miaoling now knew that the aunt Wang Chengliu was talking about was not Huang Yan’an, but rather Huang Meilan!

Huang Miaoling could feel his chest tightness. Her heart that had not kept any feelings towards Wang Chengliu was again injured.

“So the reason he was being nice to me from the start ... isn't it because he targeted the throne from the start?” Huang Miaoling looked at Lan’er. “But because he thought you were still part of the Huang Family?”
