The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 173 End

“I came to bring you the news that ... Ayahanda has just died,” Wang Qiuhua explained. “First Brother has been entrusted to inherit the throne.”

Two days after the war ended, Emperor Weixin was declared dead and succeeded by his first son, Wang Zhengyi. All the bad rumors about the crown prince were also wiped out due to the message that Wang Weixin left before the crowd to the son.

In his final moments, Emperor Weixin also had time to convey to his first son that what happened was not the fault of Wang Zhengyi at all, but the karma he deserved. It was that sentence that gave Wang Zhengyi the courage to return to continue his responsibilities as the successor to the throne.

Right in the afternoon the ceremony for the emperor's death was held, Wang Junsi, Wang Xiangqi, and Huang Jieli also arrived Jingcheng. It allowed the two princes to see the father one last time before he was burned.

At the end of the ceremony, Wang Junsi who saw Huang Miaoling and Liang Fenghong intending to leave the ritual area immediately stopped the two. The fourth prince of Shi Kingdom took the two to a more relaxed area to chat about things.

“What are your next plans?” w.a.n.g Junsi asked after they spoke for quite a long time. “Back to Wu and stay there?”

Liang Fenghong looked at Huang Miaoling. “What do you think?”

Huang Miaoling looked around, at everyone he knew and loved. His brothers, his father, his grandparents, and his friends are all still alive and safe in this life.

The goal of turning back time .. has been achieved.

“I ... following A Feng's decision,” Huang Miaoling replied as he glanced at Liang Fenghong. “Whichever way he intends to go, I will follow him.”

Hearing the wife's words, Liang Fenghong rubbed the woman's head and smiled. Then, he looked at Wang Junsi.

“I ... will go where no one can recognize me. I want to blend in with the common people.”

“What?” Wang Junsi knitted his brows. “Don't you have to rebuild Wu? You're the emperor, aren't you?”

Liang Fenghong was silent for a moment, then took out a scroll from inside his arm pocket to then give it to Wang Junsi. “Not again.” The man added, “You .. who will replace me.”

Receiving the scroll as well as hearing Liang Fenghong's words, Wang Junsi was slightly startled. “You're too tired to be out of your mind?” his reply. “What do you have to do with me?!”

Right at this moment, Liang Fenghong turned his head in one direction, making Wang Junsi follow his gaze. The fourth prince of Shi Kingdom froze as his eyes landed on a single figure that had been watching him with teary eyes.

“Wu .. Meilan ...,” Wang Junsi murmured.

Watered with news of his father's death upon arriving at Jingcheng made Wang Junsi forget one of the most important things he should have accomplished upon his return.

Before the man could move, Wu Meilan's figure had first dashed before him and ended up hugging him.

“Yang Mulia .. You're alive! You're really alive!” Wu Meilan began to cry in silence as he continued to give thanks in his heart.

Originally, Wang Junsi had only frozen in place, not daring to move. However, when he felt how tightly Wu Meilan hugged himself, the man returned the arms of the princess of Wu Kingdom gently.

Seeing that, Huang Miaoling and Liang Fenghong smiled. It didn't take so many sentences to express their feelings, just one hug, and everything was clear.

Two weeks later, the Shi royal family returned to the capital. Wang Zhengyi was legitimately crowned Emperor and began his first task, rebuilding the prosperity of the Shi Kingdom.

Meanwhile, Wang Junsi and Wu Meilan were announced to be married after a hundred days since the death of Emperor Weixin. However, since Liang Fenghong had already handed over the imperial plaque of Wu to him, Wang Junsi had to leave Shi Kingdom early and help his wife to rebuild Wu Kingdom together with Li Changsheng.

“Where are Huang Miaoling and Liang Fenghong?” w.a.n.g Junsi asked as he was about to leave Shi Kingdom. “Why don't I see them?!” his grunts with an annoyed face, recalled that he had to leave quickly because the original Liang Fenghong threw the task at him.

Wang Qiuhua smiled wryly and said, “Don't wait any more, Qiuyue told me that they have left the kingdom first thing early in the morning.”

“Without saying goodbye!?” wang Xiangqi exclaimed with enlarged eyes. “Why!?”

Looking at the figures of the Huang Family men who were seen putting on dark faces, Wang Qiuhua sighed.

“Because they know they won't be able to leave quietly if they leave first.”

Wang Junsi asked, “Where are they going?”

Wang Qiuhua gazed into the distance, as if breaking through mountains and deserts to look at one such place. “They didn't say ...”

On the other side of the plains, the figures of Huang Miaoling and Liang Fenghong were on top of a high cliff with their horses. The sun slowly rising from the East made the two pause for a moment to enjoy the scenery.

“Life without direction, no house, no treasure, do you really not mind?” liang Fenghong asked the wife.

Huang Miaoling closed his eyes and laughed lowly. “In two lives, I am the royal consort confined in the palace.”

Then, the woman opened her eyes, looking at how such a vast prairie turned a little golden when the sunlight landed on it.

“Therefore, this time, I want to be outside the palace walls and travel the world.” She looked at her husband and said confidently, “Your.”

Hearing that, Liang Fenghong smiled as well. “Yourself.”
