The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 26 Huang Miaoling Defeated?

Without knowing what Huang Miaoling was thinking, Liang Fenghong continued, “You know that in order to trap you and Wang Junsi, Wang Wuyu and Li Guifei need to distract the palace guards on something else.”

The thing that was able to attract the attention of most of the palace guards was none other than ….

“You know they will make ‘small quarrels’ in the Emperor's palace, and you use that to help yourself ‘force’ Emperor Weixin to admit Wang Wuyu's mistake in cooperation with Li Guifei.”

Because attacking the Emperor's palace was an act that had crossed the line. In the presence of the trusted subordinates who were witnesses, how could Emperor Weixin still avoid the fact that his son had made a grave mistake?

“What got here I said error?”

Huang Miaoling was silent. Her tiny lips were tightly shut, hinting that the man before her did not miss a single bit in guessing his plan. This made Huang Miaoling's hands tightly grip his clothes, showing concern.

At the same time, Liang Fenghong's gaze turned hostile. “What I don't understand is ... Why did you let the enemy capture you when you were able to stop the charade by taking out Wang Wuyu's subordinates?” The man's body gave off a terrifying aura. “You even purposely removed the antidote effect I gave you just to make the enemy believe you are fully at their mercy!”

Yes, Huang Miaoling deliberately eliminated the effect of the antidote by gulping down the poison used by Eunuch Xia. Then, even after learning that the antidote to the poison in her body could only fight against one poison before losing its efficacy, the girl was still determined to gulp down the sweet soup from Eunuch Xia. Huang Miaoling clearly knew the Death Squad would attempt to attack him afterwards, but he still deliberately made himself vulnerable to danger.

For what?!

Huang Miaoling closed his eyes, thinking hard about something. Then, his mouth opened. “I didn't think you had such high confidence in my martial skills,” he said referring to the fact that Liang Fenghong believed he could protect himself from the attack of the Death Squad. He deliberately ignored the second sentence the man uttered, masking his true intentions.

Liang Fenghong knew that Huang Miaoling uttered that sarcasm to shift the topic. Unfortunately, he wasn't that stupid to get into the girl's trap.

“So many scenarios are easier, but you chose the hardest,” Liang Fenghong said. “In the end, I can only reach one conclusion.” The man's hands clenched tightly as the girl's expression before him hardened. “You are determined to lure out that one man from the darkness.” There was a look of difficulty on Liang Fenghong's face. “Why?” Hands clenched.

Some time was given by Liang Fenghong for Huang Miaoling to answer him. However, every time the girl's tiny lips separated, she would again close them. The girl's eyes flashed with difficulty, filled with doubt and fear.

Huang Miaoling really wanted to explain his true intentions. However, there was doubt in his heart that required certainty before doing so.

In the end, Liang Fenghong dropped his gaze and got out of the carriage. The longer he was on the carriage, he could feel his breathing becoming increasingly congested and his throat choking. The man tried hard not to touch Huang Miaoling, shaking the little shoulder for the girl to spit out her truth.

Liang Fenghong had almost reached his limit.

Xiaoming and a few other bodyguards had been waiting for a long time outside the car. Not only them, the bodyguards of the Huang family guarding the gate were puzzled by how long it would take for their master to get out of the carriage. Finally, they could only wait in a mute with confused expressions and hearts filled with suspicion.

Liang Fenghong ignored the gaze to then turn around and stick his hand at Huang Miaoling. “Your body is still weak, I will take you into the room,” he explained. He paid no attention to the pedestrians staring at his entourage while walking.

Huang Miaoling was slightly stunned, then he looked towards the man with his arms outstretched. The girl then got out of the carriage and ended up in the sling of Young Master Liang.

Moreover, Xiaoming had a certain conviction. If the situation between the two was normal, then Huang Miaoling would refuse Liang Fenghong's help in order to maintain his reputation. However, at this time, the girl accepted the help of the Young Master Liang. This made Xiaoming feel that the First Miss Huang.

‘Atau ... It's possible that I just guessed,’ inner Xiaoming. ‘Maybe also Junzhu feels Young Master will force to carry her no matter what.’ The bodyguard shrugged his shoulders, not intending to look any further at the movements of the two dizzying masters.

When Liang Fenghong set foot in the main courtyard of the Huang residence, Qiuyue who had come to greet his master's return could only show his shock. However, he did not ask much and directly accompanied Liang Fenghong to deliver Huang Miaoling back to his room.

After Liang Fenghong laid Huang Miaoling down on his bed, the man looked at the girl who in the near future would become his wife deeply. His mouth was open, intending to say something. However, upon seeing Huang Miaoling not daring to look back at him, Liang Fenghong undoed his intentions.

The Young Master Liang closed his eyes for a moment while sighing in silence. Then, he said, “I go.” He turned his body to leave the room.

At that moment, Huang Miaoling gripped the side of his bed tightly. Then, with a face full of determination, he reached out to grab Liang Fenghong's clothing arm.

The pull produced by Huang Miaoling made Liang Fenghong's move stop. The man turned his head and found the girl's flickering fingers gripping her sleeve.

“Ling’er?” Liang Fenghong looked wondering.

Hearing Liang Fenghong again calling himself by his small name, Huang Miaoling's gaze that was filled with worry looked a little relaxed. Then, he turned his gaze to Qiuyue. “I want to speak with Young Master Liang.”

Qiuyue realized something was wrong with the two people before him from the very beginning they arrived at the residence. Hearing Huang Miaoling's orders, Qiuyue glanced at Liang Fenghong who looked slightly surprised before then lowering his head to agree to his nona request. He didn't talk much and left immediately.

After Qiuyue left the room, Liang Fenghong turned to look at Huang Miaoling who now turned his gaze to the other side, as if wanting to hide his expression from the man. However, the girl's hand was still tightly holding the man's sleeve, as if worried that the man would leave and would never return.

Liang Fenghong clasped Huang Miaoling's hand, causing the girl to slightly flinch. As the seat was quite a distance away from where it stood, the man ended up kneeling next to the girl's bed. His fingers were related to Huang Miaoling's fingers, and the girl did not reject him.

In the time of one incense stick, none of the two people in the room spoke. Huang Miaoling still averted his gaze as Liang Fenghong remained holding the girl's hand and did not let go, waiting.

From Huang Miaoling's intention of holding him inside the room, Liang Fenghong understood, the girl is trying. Trying to prepare yourself to explain something. If time was the thing that the girl needed, then it was time that Liang Fenghong would give.

For Huang Miaoling, it was likely that the Young Master Liang would willingly give.
