The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 27 Jealousy

After a long wait, Liang Fenghong finally heard Huang Miaoling's voice doubtfully say, “Wang Wuyu is a genius. However, it remains impossible for him to form a deadly army at such a young age.” The girl continued, “Because it was not the Emperor who helped her, then it must be related to her mother's family.” He was silent for a moment. “Yang Yuechan, the Defei, is a lover of peace, ambition is not at all present in the dictionary of his life. However, this does not mean his family adheres to the same beliefs.”

Hearing Huang Miaoling's words, Liang Fenghong did not give any reaction on his face. However, he was implying, ‘The Yang Defei family is led by Yang Tianbai, the Minister of Rites. The man is a little different.’

From his brief interaction with Yang Tianbai at the banquet the night before, Liang Fenghong did not feel the man had anything to stand out about. On the contrary, Yang Tianbai was a man of inferiority, as if trying not to attract the attention of others.

It was an oddity considering Yang Tianbai was one of the palace higher-ups who should try to attract the hearts of the higher-ups at all times.

Huang Miaoling explained how former Minister Yang saw potential in his grandson and wanted to push Wang Wuyu to the throne. Yang Defei realized this and then announced to the world the regression of Wang Wuyu from the government. This was done by the woman in order to abolish her father's intention to instill dangerous ambitions in her son.

“Even without Minister Yang's interference, I'm sure Yang Defei will still force Wang Wuyu to resign because of Li Guifei,” Huang Miaoling said. “He certainly didn't want Wang Wuyu to end up like the Second Prince and the Third Prince.” Huang Miaoling's fingers moved slightly. “However, it is useless because the pent-up ambition has first ignited.”

Having gotten used to everyone's lofty gaze, naturally the Fifth Prince would not get used to the hopeless gaze of everyone around him. Moreover, when he found out his mother .. had a trait that he considered so cowardly.

Avoiding trouble for fear of Li Guifei and the challenges that might come in the way? Wang Wuyu did not accept!

Since the mother's announcement of her departure from the government, Wang Wuyu knew that her father would not give her resources. This prompted the Fifth Prince to contact his grandfather who would gladly help him prepare a special force for him. It was the true origin of the Death Squad.

Yang Defei was not a fool. Instead, he is very smart. The woman must have known the communication between her son and father. However, knowing he could not stop the ambition of the two, he decided to instill someone in the Death Squad to watch his son's movements. This is to avoid making mistakes that cannot be corrected.

Like at the moment.

“Yang Defei knows that Wang Wuyu's plan has a loophole, and he prepares a backup plan in case the loophole really makes his son's plan fail,” explains Huang Miaoling. “He will contact First Brother.”

Yang Defei and Huang Shufei had a good relationship, it meant that his relationship with the Huang family was not bad either. It was not unreasonable for Yang Defei to then contact Huang Yade for this matter. At the very least, Yang Defei was confident that Huang Yade would try to give him a face and help his son.

“In fact, he may have sent people to contact First Brother a moment ago.”

Liang Fenghong finally spoke up, “Yang Defei ordered his subordinates in the Death Squad to use Yunlin as a transaction tool for the Huang family.” Then, he shook his head. He confirmed his remark, “For you to release his son.”

Huang Miaoling's hand felt stiff for a moment, as if surprised that Liang Fenghong could quickly understand his line of thought. As her muscles relaxed again, the girl nodded her head, still not looking at the man.

“You explained this to me, I am grateful that you strengthened my faith.” Liang Fenghong's eyebrows are linked. “However, you know this is not what I want to talk about,”.

The matter of the royal family trying to fight for the throne, it was a trivial matter that Liang Fenghong had known from the beginning. Each of the steps of those people was so easy to read from the second that he learned of Wang Wuyu and Li Guifei's plan to trap Wang Junsi and Huang Miaoling. Coupled with the fact that Yuanli managed to contact him in time, Liang Fenghong already knew that Huang Miaoling was late in preparing a way out for himself. In fact, Liang Fenghong would not be surprised if other than himself, Huang Miaoling had prepared another backup plan.

“I've spoken to Great Master Qing,” said Huang Miaoling, as if he could read Liang Fenghong's mind. Ah, actually, this was the girl's way of easing the man's anger based on her actions that seemed to be planning to harm herself. “You know I won't do something I can't guarantee success.”

“Ling’er!” Liang Fenghong could not stand it anymore, he tightened his grip on Huang Miaoling's hand. “I don't care about the usurpation of the throne and the politics of the palace, I wonder why you are so fixated on Wang Chengliu!”

Hearing this, Huang Miaoling fell silent. His entire body froze, as if reality had just been thrown before his face.

‘That statement ...’ Huang Miaoling's eyes sparkled.

Liang Fenghong grimaced. “You still love him ..”

“No!” Huang Miaoling immediately sat down and looked at Liang Fenghong. His hand clasped tightly onto the man's hand, not wanting to let go. He was worried that once he let go of that hand, he would again drown in the darkness. ‘This man …. What is meant by him with ... ‘masih’?’

“However, from what I saw, you noticed it,” Liang Fenghong said.

Huang Miaoling put on a face of disbelief. “A Feng! Why are you forcing my relationship with Wang Chengliu so much?! Do you expect me to go to him?!” The girl attempted to lure Liang Fenghong to utter a sentence of certainty.

“From start to finish, all I expected was for you to leave a little space for me in you!” liang Fenghong's reply left Huang Miaoling dumbfounded. The man touched Huang Miaoling's hand on his forehead, an attempt to cover his face. “The night before, even though you had reprimanded me, you had no idea how happy I was when I found out everything you were doing, framing your own family, it was all for my sake.”

Huang Miaoling fell silent, recalling his debate with Liang Fenghong the night before. The man indeed had time to reprimand him, but all his words did not contain things that cornered Huang Miaoling and tempted his patience.

“Today, you .. willingly put yourself on the front line, jeopardizing all the successes you have built, only to gain confidence regarding Wang Chengliu's position on the board game?” Liang Fenghong raised his head, his pair of eyes looking teary. “I don't accept!” he shouted with a stifled voice. Then, his eyebrows clocked, making his forehead form a deep frown. “Again, what makes you hate him so much?”

Huang Miaoling choked. “You ...” His eyes could not move from the pair of black beads before him, swaying the face of the man who described a determination to figure out a truth from him. “You don't know?”

Hearing this question, Liang Fenghong put on a very bad face, as if he had only seen Huang Miaoling say something very stupid for the first time. “How could I know?!” ask him in frustration.

Huang Miaoling blinked his eyes a few times. “So, all your actions ... because you're jealous?”

“Ya!”

The instant Liang Fenghong shouted those words, Huang Miaoling was stunned. Observing the man so deeply, the girl even realized that a red hue was slowly creeping on the man's face. It seemed, Liang Fenghong had only realized that his words were enough to shake his pride.

Liang Fenghong cursed inwardly as he only realized the answer. ‘Liang Fenghong, what are you talking about?!’ he shouted at his own emotional stupidity. He felt like he had just done something so embarrassing.

For a moment, Huang Miaoling felt all his worries evaporate. He originally thought that Liang Fenghong knew about his relationship with Wang Chengliu in his past life. After all, if someone like him is able to go back in time, what can guarantee that no one else is going through the same thing as him?

Yes, Huang Miaoling had thought that Liang Fenghong was experiencing time travel like him. He suspected that this was what caused the man's change in attitude towards him from the beginning of their meeting. There was a fear in Huang Miaoling that all the affection and attention given by Liang Fenghong was now.

However, it seemed like it was just an empty worry of mere Huang Miaoling.

Huang Miaoling's eyes stared at the pair of black beads plastered before him. I don't know how many times he had looked at the entire face of the man before him, but Huang Miaoling had only first felt the face of Liang Fenghong back then was so adorable. The usual figure was only able to reveal such a cold expression at this moment looked like someone who was lost in direction.

I don't know what possessed Huang Miaoling at that moment, but the girl suddenly lowered her face and landed a kiss on Liang Fenghong's lips. This made Young Master Liang stupefied, not expecting that there would be a day where the girl before him would perform an act beyond common sense like this.

Before Liang Fenghong could react, Huang Miaoling separated himself and looked at the figure of the man before him. The kiss happened so quickly, but the gentleness and warmth left behind made Liang Fenghong like someone who had just fallen into a hypnotic state.

Huang Miaoling gave a small laugh staring at the silly expression attached on the face of the Young Master Liang. ‘Mr Vinegar, consider it your gift,’ taunt the girl in heart. “If something like today happens again, don't blame me for forcing you to gulp a bowl of vinegar as punishment.” Liang Fenghong simply fell silent and did not reply to Huang Miaoling's words. It made the First Miss Huang tilt her face while humming. ‘What was my action so shocking?’

“L-Ling’er,” call Liang Fenghong as his spirit returns. “A-I just seemed to be hallucinating.”

Hearing this, Huang Miaoling said, “Is that so?” His right eyebrow was raised and his expression showed that he was very amused. “Then, how?”

Hearing the defiant tone of Huang Miaoling's words and the seductive smile painted on the girl's face, Liang Fenghong felt as if he was starting to lose control of himself. The man leaned his body and pulled Huang Miaoling's face towards him.
